The armed forces made no dis
tinctien in sex when they called
for volunteers and enlistments. If
women can fit into the specialist
grades needed, they're as welcome
as the men.
Of the $4,000 women already in
uniform, 1000 are WACS, enough
to release seven infantry battalionS
for combat duty. The Army says
that, among the occupation spe-
cialties it needs, WACS can best
fit in as stenographers and cryptic
graphic technicians.
WAC four-year enlistees, 300 a
month, are accepted between the
ages of 10 and "a and given 13
weeks basic training at Camp Lee,
Va. Training includes a course in
weapons demonstration and a week
of bivouac living in tents.
WAC regular officers work up
through the ranks or are screened
from college graduates. They're
sent to Camp Lee in the fall for
six months OCS.
The WACS have no program
now for reserve commissions, but
about 1000 enlisted reservists
keep in training with their male
comrades in the organized reserve.
The two-year-old WAF (Women
in the Air Force) has 1000 in
uniform. 1t recruits jointly with
the WAC and has the same re-
quirementS. About ITS are taken
into the regulars each month and
sent to Lakeland Air Force Base,
San Antonio, Tex, for IL weeks
indoctrination.
An estimated $500 WAF reserv-
lists take part in drills at Air Force
bases across the country. The type
of empty billets WAFS could best
fill are primarily in the communi-
cations and medical fields, as well
as certain administrative and
technical posts.
Active-duty WAVES number
I3,400, enough womanpower to re-
lease sailors to man two battle
ships like the Missouri. About 100
are taken into the U. S. N. each
month for four years. They must

20 and 81. The Navy sends them

Mhe Antitrust suit brought against the Alaska Steamship Company charges that we have "eonspired" to effect 2 virtual monopoly of the water transportation business in the AIssks trade.
 Here in brief are the facts behind an incident every Alaskan will re- member because politics were plse- cd ahead of public interest with the result that all competing carriers were forced from the trade leaving The Alaska Line alone in the field. THE POSTWAR PROBLEM
 During World War II and for the immediate postwar period, all Ameri- can shipping was requisitioned and operated for the government under sup ervision of the U. s. Maritime Commis- sion. During two postwar years under government operation, losses in the Alaska trade were enormous. For l945 the deficit amounted to $2,500,000 and for lo46 approximately $4,000,000.
 Previous to return of vessels to pri- vate owners, joint studies of the Con. gress, the Maritime Commission and the Alaska Shipping operators showed that an S69 increase in revenue

NO PERMANENT SOLUTION PREPARED

Despite the complete cooperation of the Alaska Steamship Company, and presumably all of the other parties to the Interim Plan, in submitting full rec cords and information, by the spring of l948 if became apparent that no per- manent legislation would be pFepaF- cd in lime to become effective at the ter imitation of the Interim Plan on June 30, l948.
 As safeguard against complete chaos in the Alaska Shipping industry, the Alaska Steamship Company began a determined effort to have the provi. sions of the Interim Plan extended. We discovered an amazing and an incred- ible thing-we found that Governor Ernest Cruening was actively sabotaging any hope for this urgent extension through both the Maritime Commission and the Congress.
 After general agreement had been reached on House Joint Resolution 396, which would extend the provisions of the Interim Plan, Governor Cruening in- stigated a substitute bill (H. J. Res. 40l) which would have tied Alaska shipping to the anron strinps of the Interior De-

The current antitrust suit

businessman'S dilemma. The suit
is based on A & P's alleged viola

arose when businessmen cut their

staying safely on the right side
of the law.
The A&P has been accused
among other things of consistent
