Camp Swift, Texas.— District re-
cruiting activities for the Women's
Army Corps have been centered at
Camp Swift and Lt. .luanita F. Bid-
dle, District Recruiting Officer who
has been stationed in Austin, has,
taken over operation of the district i
office at the Post. Lt. Lucille M.
Lois has been named Assistant Dis-
trict Recruiting Officer and also is
on duty at the camp office.
Operation of the Austin Army Re-
cruiting Office is now in charge of!
Lt. Sara Ellis who has been sta-
tioned at Camp Swift for several
month-;. Lt. Kl'is has as her assist-
ants Sgt. Edna Duke Lacy and Pvt.
Frances Green. The Bryan Recruit-
ing Office will continue in charge
of Lt.. Edythe M. Balsley, who is
assisted by Sgt. Annette Kerlin and
Pvt. Virginia Creel. The Bryan of-
fice serves a district which includes
eight counties: Brazos, Robertson,
Burleson. Lee. Fayette, Washington,
Austin and Colorado. Caldwell.
County has recently been added to
the Austin district which also in-
cludes Travis, Hays, Blanco and
Bastrop.
The third district of the Camp
Swift Women's Army Corps recruit-
ing area will be centered at Victoria
where a sub-station is soon to be
established. Thi- area includes the
counties of Victoria, Gonzales, De-
Witt, Lavaca, Wharton, Jackson,
Matagorda and Calhoun. Milam and
Williamson Counties which were in-
cluded in the original Camp Swift
recruiting area have been dropped
from this district and added to the
area for which Camp Hood is re-
sponsible.
A substantial increase in interest
in the Women's Army Corps has
been noted since the beginning of
June according to Lt. Biddle. and
many applicants are beinj; interview-
ed daily by recruiting officers and
•enlisted personnel. Within a short
time, several enlisted members of
the Corps who are now completing
their basic training: at Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Georgia, are expected to ar-
rive to be^in duty with the
Swift WAC Detachment, Lt.
said.
While interest generally in the
portunities offered women by
Corps has shown a substantial
crease, Lt. Biddle reveals that
usual new interest is being displayed
by army wives. This is due, she
believes, to realization of the many
benefits accruing to sen icemen's
wives through membership in the
Corps. This condition is not con-
fined to this particular area but is
reported to be general throughout
the country, the recruiting
aaid.

J. MABEL CLARK
Radio Station KTBC, 51)0 on your
dial, is making every effort possible
to keep its listeners informed as to
the progress of the invasion, in fact
the station will continue to give an
over-all coverage of world-wide news
and happenings via CBS affiliations
and the 24-hour Associated Press
wires 1
The world is our dateline! And
every Monday at 10:15 p.m., "Date-
line" is broadcast to Central Texans
by KTBC. Behind this statement
lies the romance of one of the most
exciting professions in the world . . .
re porting.
At the beginning of this war the
networks, the magazines, the news-
papers and the news services sent
their best reporters overseas to re-
port buck on the progress of the
war.
What these reporters saw . . .
what they are seeing . . . make
stories more thrilling than any fic-
tion. There's Eric Sevareid, who
parachuted from a transport plane
into the Burma jungles . . . there's
Richard Hottelet, who was a Ger-
man prisoner . . . there's Ed Mur-
row, who looked down on "orches-
trated hell" as he rode with our Air
Force on a bombing mission over
Berlin and who, as late as June 2nd,
broadcast from a Flying Fortress as
it returned from a bombing mission
over Germany . . . there's Tregaskis
who landed with the Marines on
Guadalcanal . . . there are many
such men who go into danger, armed
only with pencil and paper ... to
send stories of battles, or heroism
. . . who trace the graph of ulti-
mate victory for the people back
home.
These men are all part of "Date-
line" . . . because it is their stories
which are dramatized every Monday
evening.
The best wire story of the week
is selected, read, and carefully dram-
atized. Marx Loeh. noted CBS di
'rector collects his cast, selects
sound effects and goes into rehear-
sal, aided by Ned Calmer of CBS
World News, who acts as narrator.
Kvery word, every sound is checked
and rechecked for authenticity. The
musical background is expertly
•.oven into the story by Charles
Paul. The cast is rehearsed until
l they are no longer actors playing a
part . . . but the people about whom
'the story is writteu.
The finished product is a vivid,
realistic translation of the reporter's
story ... a colorful vignette from
the war against tyranny.

Ned Calmer, CBS news analyst,
and narrator for "Dateline" was
born in Chicago, spetit his boyhood
in Boston, went to the I'niversity of
Virginia, and has lived in several |
European capitals, and in Hollywood i
and New York. He says he never I
can answer the questions: "Where j
are you from?"
Calmer's first news job was that/
of cub reporter on a New York i
newspaper. He went to Kurope un-
der the tutelage of the late Floyd
(iibbons. Was a reporter colleague
of CBS news analyst William L.
Shirer—on the Paris Herald.
Ned says one of the whimsical
oddities of his career is the way he
and Kric Sevareid seem to take turns
at succeeding one another in jobs.
Calmer recently succeeded Seva-
reid on the CBS-KTBC news pro-
ssm
BONDS'^?
gram Saturdays and Sundays at
7:65 p.m. A few years ago, Calmer
related, he and Sevareid were in the
same situation in Europe, but in
reverse.
At that time, it was Sevareid who
succeeded Calmer as city editor of
the Paris Herald. Both were for-
eign newspaper correspondents at
the same time, and now both are
radio new? analysts.
Ned returned to New York after i
seven years in Europe for the Her-
ald-Tribune and the Chicago I ribune.
In the U. S. he was foreign news
editor of the Havas Agency of
France. He left that post three
years ago to join the ( BS staft as |
news editor.
