 I67,0O0 Offer Until JuIy'47
By WILLIAM AEeaEENAaEIN

BY WAAs4aNMM MEHA Asl4MAAAN Limited Prnns Sknm CeFTeapumaentl
 Washington. June l7-GUPD-T1ae AAF has tenative plans for an in- terim active duty force of e7.000 officers. according Co Col. Fred Miller. Army Air Forces policy and planning officers for personnel.
 He said these included 5000 who are now regular offlcers, to be inc creased Co about 7.300 by about July i. The balance will be in the Army. he added. The interim Period is July l. iea0, to July l. ie47.
 Miller said the AaAF personnel plans were still uncertain because Congress has made no peaeetime authorization for the strength of i the Army Air Forces.
 S8.@oe Applicants
 Miller estimated that there were 5s.000 applications for the 1000 regular Army Air Corps commits sions now open. He said that the AAP could take in i8.000 more. for q total Of 2S000. and still only com mission superior material.
 "0nce we build this structure we will always have some reserve ofn- eers on active duty both in the interim force and the peacetime AAP." Miller said.
 Reserves called to active duty will include men from general on down" He indicated the AAF be- lieves that senior officers sn the reserve should take training peri- ods of up to -four Of Ave months duration. in order that they would go to school.
 Miller said there probably would be almost unlimited opportunity for air reseEvists with combat ex. perience to come on active duty and stap five to 10 years. They would come back at a rank in keeping with their ability and pre-" vious experience.
 Combat Age Limit sl
 Miller answered a question as to when and why reservists are no longer useful? He said that it Is the AAP opinion now that an age limit of either 3i years or seven years service was the useful limit t0g eomDaL aaF crews, AAl1h lncbnuSa from the pilot on down.
 However. he pointed out that this does not end their usefulness to the AAF. Those who have complet- ed their combat crew period and all other officers are limited in other duty only by their physical and technical qualifications and their ability to keep abreast Of the mllt- tary picture, he said.
 The AAP needs young flyers for It's combat crews" Miller said. "Bnt you can't duplicate combat experi. ence in peaeetame. So the people with fighting experience are gen- erally more valuable than reserves that can be developed ln peacetilne. That Is why we want to keep them"

 Bender believes that modern civ- ilizati0n is hell on voices. and he's happy over the fact that he won't be putting iob-seekers through their paces 100 years from now.

 It's the noise" he explained. NO matter what general type their voices fail Into. most women speak more and more hAFshly. They try to shout above auto horns. subways. street repalTmen. and the strain brings out the gravel"

 There's no hope for them" Bender said. unless they can uEa- load the gravel"
 But it's almost as bad # your speech Is too attractive.
 Aavised Against Changed
 "Just last week a Boston firm had e man with a fine English accent that they were sending out as a star salesman in the Cleveland. O.. area" Bender said,
 But expert Bender quickly took control Of the situation. No" he said. You keep this man in Bos- ton"
 The guys English was just too. too English.

MARCH OF DIMES

We, who have the terrible consequences of nantile paralysis among the childen of America are only conscious of the need for contributing to the annual March of Dimes, January 14-31.
 Those familiar and distressing sights-the shrunk- en limbs the twisted bodies, the awkward locomotion, the crutches wheechairs and all the other reminders of this terrible scourgeare in themselves the strongest argument for supporting the work of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
 Every cent contributed to this organization works for victims of infante paralysis It is used for care and treatment for research into the and pre- venton of the disease for emergency aid in epidemic areas and for training doctors, nurses and physical therapsts in modern techniqueS.
 It is the determination of the National Founda- ton founded by Franklin D. Roosevelt, that nfantle paralysis shall be conquered. The people of America share in that determination and through contributions March of Dimes they take active part in the unrelenting fight against the Great Crippler.
 Remember, the March of Dimes campaign begins in Juneau today. Give generously to worthy cause.

 Query from w. F., New York City; Can I get a CT loan to pur- chase a trailer home? Would that come under the home loan section of the CT Bill?
 In these days of housing short ages, it might be natural to think you could get such loan and it would be home loan. But a chat with the Veterans Administration official brought out that home loan can only be made in connec- tion with the purchase or construc- tion of house on a piece of real estate-a lot. The latter must be owned by the veteran.
 A trailer home would hardly meet those rules.
 Question from T. D., Kansas City: I've been out of the Navy for over two months and as yet have never received a premium due mo- tice for my National Service Life Insurance term policy Why not?
 It's one of those things I've been out of the service longer than you, and every month I get premium due notice on policy I don't car ". I've notified the VA at least twice, but still get the notices.
 But you should be getting those notices of premium due. Pay your premiums anyway. Don't wait for the VA to send you the bill each month. If you don't know the monthly amount you owe, get in touch with the nearest VA regional office, or with any VA contact re- presentative, and he can tell you
 Make your checks or money or ders payable to the Treasurer of the U. S., and send to the Collec- tions Subdivision, VA, Washington 25, D. c. If you don't get those payments in the mail within the 31 day grace period, your policy will lapse, even though you didn't get any premium due notice.
 Some day, and I hope it's soon the VA will get up-to-date on it's insurance problems.

HOROSCOPE ''The stars incline

TUESDAY, JANUARY Is

Adverse aspects rule until evening. Labor may be difficult to direct un- der this configuration but strikes should be fewer.
 HEART AND HOME
 Good news and inspiring letters are indicated for late today. Astrol- ogvs seems to indicate that women now will be more occupied with the cultivation of their minds. The trend from material or physical concern to spiritual or intellectual aspiration promises much for the future.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Expansion of railroad interests and vast improvement in service are prophesied within the year. The war record of the great transcontin- ental lines will inspire tremendous expansion.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Pensions will be of wide concern as legislators discuss the danger of giving too much aid to the indlgent. Where the line between self-reliance and Government help should be drawn will create bitter conflict. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Holland comes under planetary influences which should enable the people to survive a severe winter. The bounty of the Allies should be most generously bestowed on the subjects of Queen Wilhelmina, the seerS declare.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of test in which they readjust successfully. The stars smile upon their future. Children born on this day will be brilliant, healthy and independent, These boys and girls should Ee care fully educated, for geniuses belong to Capricorn.
