Course Given In Other Schools
Keeler said that applications should be sent directly to the United States Civil Service, c/o James Campbell, Mutual Building, Kansas City, Mo.
Since the positions offered, Keeler pointed out, deal directly with the development and production of much needed army equipment for use in combat planes, this program provides an excellent opportunity for women to offer their talents in the war effort. Tuition costs are paid by the U. S. government.
This recently organized training program for women by the Signal Corps is being given at a number of colleges and universities throughout the Middle West. To students with the proper background, the course offers an abbreviated program of instruction in basic radio engineering, with liberal pay while learning. Upon completion of the course, graduates are employed by the Aircraft Radio laboratory, at Wright field, assisting engineers in research, development and test projects for airborne radio equipment. Course Lasts 24 Weeks
The course extends over a period of 24 weeks, 8 hours per day, six days per week.

Retires From Combat Duty. . Ben Lear Will Relinquish Command of Second Army
Lt. Gen. Ben Lear, commander of the Second army, will give up his command and leave active army service May 31, he revealed to the Commercial Appeal last night.
He will reach the statutory age limit at which retirement from active duty with combat troops is required on May 12, when he will be 64 years old. Lear indicated last night that he will return to duty, but not! ___
Speculation as to Lear's successor has pointed to Maj. Gen. Lloyd R. Freddall, until recently in command of the American forces in Central Tunsia and hero of the American landing at Oran.
Lear has been a soldier in the nation's service for forty-five years, rising from a private in the Colorado national guard. He has won distinction as a great trainer of men—a strict disciplinarian, a stickler for perfection who has often asserted "no mistake should go uncorrected."
This conclusion was based partly upon the fact that Lear and Fredendall were in conference throughout the day prior to Lear's statement to the Commercial Appeal.
Born in Hamilton, Canada, May 12, 1879, Lear came to the United States at the age of 4. He joined the Colorado national guard at an early age and was 19 and a first sergeant when his outfit sailed for the Philippines to fight in the Spanish-American war.
Lear gained national publicity in a "yoo hoo" incident in 1941, touched off when members of the 108th quartermaster regiment, returning to Little Rock, Ark. from maneuvers, yelled at a group of girls on a golf course.
Lear, playing golf near by, ordered the offending battalion on to Little Rock, there to receive orders to walk
fifteen of the 150 miles back to camp under a broiling sun.
In World War I Lear rose from captain to major and finally to temporary rank of lieutenant colonel.
Taking command of the Pacific sector at Balboa, in the Panama Canal Zone in 1939, he advanced to major general. October 1, 1940, he was appointed lieutenant general in command of the Second army.
CIO Phillip Murray Advocates Revision Of Wage Formula
Washington, (INS)—CIO president Phillip Murray asserted today after a conference with President Roosevelt that the "little steel" formula for granting wage increases would have to be revised upward unless food prices were stabilized. Murray said that while the subject was not brought up with President Roosevelt today, it was apparent that such a step would have to be taken and that the CIO has contested the program of wage stabilization without corollary price stabilization for a year.
