Spokane Air Base Needs 1,500 Wacs

SPOKANE, July 3.--(AP)--Hundreds of the Army's elisted women will be utilized at the Spokane Army Air Field and at subdepots throughout the Spokane Air Service Command, Brig. Gen. Jacob H. Rudolph, commander, said last night.

His statement followed the signing of a bill by President Roosevelt putting the W.A.A.C., now the W.A.C.--Women's Army Corps--into the Army.

Capt. Paul A. Just, military personnel officer of the Spokane Air Service Command, estimated as many as 1,500 positions held by enlisted men could be filled by the W.A.C.
