A MESSAGE TO EVERY AMERICAN FROM THE PRESIDENT THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 24, 1943 My Dear Mr. Secretary: WACs, Welcome! Hill Field, long looking forward to their coming, extends a cordial welcome to the WACs. At last the first' contingent has arrived and more will follow. To many a general service man, chafing at his duty assignment at a post in.

the interior. of the United States, their arrival heralds the day when more active service is in sight. To many a soldier it will mean hastening the beginning of the great adventure of overseas. For the WACs are here to release able-bodied enlisted men who can thus be spared for the fighting fronts. Some uncertainty seems to exist in the minds of some Hill Field personnel, with respect to the precise function that the WACs play in the modern army setup.

There is no mystery about it They are not here to take over KP duties for squadrons stationed at the field, as many have are they here to replace civilian workers, men or women, employed at Hill Field. They are part of the army and each WAC assigned to duty will take the place of an enlisted man in administrative or other skilled work which can be capably done by an able-bodied woman in wartime. The WACs will not just be added to the military personnel of this or any other post or field the armed forces. Rather, they will take the place of existing military, personnel, or fill' places within the table of organization which specifically call for enlisted men. Aside from performing their own necessary duties, household and kitchen chores, and administration of their own orderly rooms, WAC personnel has been trained in army office and other routines and skills demanding military personnel.

The idea that WACs will replace civilian workers in any category Is best refuted by the simple statement that, by a WAC takes the place of an enlisted man, and must perform the duties of the enlisted man in the particular job assigned. There is to be no increase in the numbers of the aggregate military personnel provided by the army's table of organization. For instance, if 310 WACs are ultimately assigned to duty at this field, aside from the number necessary to take care of their own company administration, and supply and maintenance (which would be the same number required for the identical strength of male army personnel) the remainder will simply take over the jobs of the same number of soldiers now stationed here, releasing them for duty elsewhere. The role assigned the WACs is an important one in wartime. Women have long performed similar assignments in England.

Their coming represents another step in the total mobilization of every able-bodied man and woman, so that America's battle strength may be at full tide, and so that all play parts, either at the front or behind the lines. Hill Field welcomes the WACs. As an artist, his repertoire in cluded classic and modern compositions in German, French, Italian and English. He appeared with orchestras in New York, Chi Through you, as Secretary of the Treasury, I want to congratulate the American people on the way in cago, Los Angeles, and San which they have supported the voluntary payroll savings plan.
