ARMY CALLS FOR 1000 WA(S
FOR OVERSEAS DUTY

WASHINGTON, July 18 (ANP)
More than 1000 WACs will be
shipped overseas during the next
four months for duty in the Euro
pean and Pacific theatres and with
the Caribbean Defense command,
the war department said.
Although there are a little more
than 700 Negro WACs yet in the
service, no specific mention was
made in regards to them making
application for this quota, and it
is hoped that the War Department
will make itself clear. Is the quota
for all WACs, or simply for white
WACs?
The majority of the personnel
needed, according to the release for
overseas, will be selected from vol
unteers now serving in the Wom-
ems Army Corps, but a small por-
ton will come from re-entries who
are being recruited to meet the
current requirements.
Skills needed primarily include
administrative, clerical, secretar-
ial, communications, and a limited
number of medical personnel.

NEW INDUSTRY

A nationwide trend in to-
days big business is the
construction of large factor
les in the smaller towns,
bringing resources nearer
the production line. Paper
mills, furniture factories,
and other industries utiliz-
ing abundant lumber are
rapidly moving to areas
where the supply is unlimit-
ed and readily available.
New industries in the
smaller towns increase the
payroll and stimulate bust
ness. 1t is heartening to see
a town, long lazy in appear
ance, spring to life with
new industry. The smaller
towns should seek larger
payrolls for their commun-
tiles and most of them do,
but there are some points
involved where the line
should be drawn - even
though business men may
profit.
Some of the bigger mills
involved in certain processes
consuming lumber are de-
pendent on a water supply
lakes in most cases. They
dump their refuse from the
mill into the lakes. Some
mills process the dumpage to
safeguard fish and other
game, but some dump pois-
onious waste material into
the water and the wild life
dies off at a rapid pace.
It should not be a choice
between mills or game. It
should be either the game
and the mill or the game. In
that manner, mills which
kill animals and bird life on
the lakes will not find new
territory open to industry at
any price. The mills will
come just the same, but they
will provide adequate pro-
lection to the states natur-
al resources.

BASEBALL PLAYERS
ASKING MORE

Professional baseball be-
ing somewhat of an Ameri-

pie of this country are inter
ested in the efforts of
President Jorge Pasquel, of
the Mexican League, to per-
suade high-ranking stars of
the American and National
Leagues to come into Mex
leo.
The inroads OF the Mexi-
can sportsman have been
possible because Of dissatis-
faction of major lea que
players over the terms and
conditions of their employ
ment. Apparently there is
something to the players
squawks because High Com
missioner Albert B. Chand-
Ter says that generous deal
ing is the way for the mag
mates to combat the invasion
of Pasquel, adding that
you can't blame kids for
grabbing the big money he's
putting out. "
Mr.. Chandler, form e II
United States Senator from
Kentucky, says that the big
league owners are going to
make more money this year
than at any time in the his
tory of baseball and that
"now's the time to give the
men who play for them

The head man of the base
bah organization admits his
sympathy for the request of
the players for a minimum
salary. spring training ex-
penses. a pension plan and
otheE improvements ito
which they are entitled.

ers will get what they want.
