one of its worst epidemics of in
fantile paralysis during the past
year, the death rate from this
dread disease was the lowest ever
recorded, solely because the funds

Urgently Needed
, Women 20 - 86 Eligible; 750
Tar Heel women Joined
WAVES la 1M
Women in the 20-36 age group
are needed as WAVES just as ur
gently as ever. Chief J. W. Brown,
petty officer in charge of the Wil
mington Navy recruiting station
said today. .
Eligible to apply are women be
tween the ages of 20 and 36 who
are unmarried or married with
out children under 18, and who
have had at least two years' high
school education. Applications are
being received at the Navy re
cruiting station, second floor, Wil
mington post office, and by
Chief Brown and W. H. Pittman,
Jr., who visit cities and towns in
the surrounding area each week.
In 1944. aDDroximatelv 750
North Carolina r. women became
WAVES, and since the WAVES
were organized in July 1942, sev
eral thousand from this state
have volunteered, the record of
enlistment shows. Navy recruit
ers were described as "setting
their sights" to 'achieve new soals
in ism.
WAVES are srettine- valuable
training and - experience while
serving their country in wartime.
Chief Brown said, but their most
Important contribution to the war
effort was said to lie in their re
leasing trained Navy men for sea
duty. Extensive activities are
maintained as auxiliary services
for the fleet snd in normal times
the shore billets are manned by
Navy men. In wartime, however,
when a WAVE has been trained,
she can take over a shore assign
ment thus releasing a man for
service aboard a ship or a plane.
This example, the recruiting offi
cer pointed out can be multiplied
many thousand times, giving an
idea of the part WAVES are play
ing in carrying on the war. -
Nor is a WAVE necessarily
confined to the continental limits
of the United States for her duty
assignment She is permitted to
volunteer for foreign shore duty,
within the limits of the western
hemisphere: Unless she does volun
teer, however, she is not required
to serve overseas.
In the early months following
organization of the WAVES, it
was planned to recruit only a few
thousand, since a small number
was thought to be sufficient to
handle the work designed for
them. These few thousand, how
ever, have rnnr; -roomed- into the

The action came as a result

No. 1
Suggests they be drafted and
given limited service or
placed In war industry.
A stir has really been created
over the nation during the past
several days because of the need
for increased production and the
still-short labor supply. Below are
War Mobilizer James F. Byrnes'
new ideas for the home front:
That 4F's should be drafted for
limited military servile or war
jobs if present manpower controls
fail to do the needed job.
That Congress should Dass legis
lation backing ud the war labor
board orders.
That larger draft calls will have
to come in the next few monthst
and reconsideration of farm de
ferments may be required.
That work of reconverting to
civilian production must be shel
ved "until our military men tell
! tney nave enough."
In Washington this week, dras
tic manpower proposals, edging
closer to the "work or fight" act
which lawmakers have long avoid
ed, were thrown into the battle on
the home front.
Advanced by Byrnes, the pro-
crram would force 4 men Into
war roles and put statutory teeth
into manpower rules If present la
bor controls fail to spur the na
tion's armament output to needed
levels.
The suggestions, made by Mr.
Byrnes in his first report as di
rector of the office of war mobi
lization and reconversion, are still
merely threats. They are, more
over, at the mercy of a Congress
which has shown reluctance to in
terfere with a man's freedom to
choose his job.
Flatly predicting that larger
draft calls in the next few months
would aggravate the manpower
shortage, Byrnes proposed stern
measures for 4F's not doing essen
tial war work.
He proposed that Congress
make it possible to induct thei-
all, then assign them "to things
they can do," despite physical im-
pairmeni.
Striking at agricultural defer
ments which he said cover the
"largest remaining source of
young men for military service"
Byrnes said it was necessary to
reconsider the standards by which
youthful farmers are deferred
from military duty.
He advocated that Congress st
once give the War Labor Board
power to make its decisions "man
datory and legally enforceable in
the courts," as means of check
ing work stoppages. Seizure of
firms for non-compliance frequent
ly is an inadequate remedy, he
said, and imposes on the govern-
ZVZ!! -
running private business.'
