To say that this has the ladies of the Air Force in a hair-pulling mood is putting it mildly.

Miss Cochran urged that "no further recruiting should be done of WAFs until adequate clothing not only in dress uniforms but in fatigue uniforms is procured." "The Wafs should be equal to the best among the women's services," she pleaded. "It should be our aim to make them the best. But," she added sorrowfully, "they are not sc now."

This column, however, has obtained a copy.

"It is estimated that about one-third of all the enlisted personnel that have been indoctrinated at Lackland are not fit material," she summed up bluntly. "I personally came across a WAF who was approximately 4 feet, 9 inches tall, and who admittedly weighed 134 pounds. This is far too much weight for the height, but what is even worse, she is very much out of proportion as to bodily profile, and in addition, she is cross-eyed. i "And I was informed that this type of error has been duplicated many times," she added in horror. Miss Cochran's opinion of WAF officer candidates was no higher.

More "Bodily Profile" Miss Cochran suggested that WAFS should be at least 61 inches tall, but not more than 72 inches. In order that they appear more ladylike, she also suggested abolishing the 30-inch marching step. But most important, she stressed "bodily profile." "Whatever difference is allowed over or below the standard weight should be based upon the bone structure, the distribution of weight and the muscle tone of the applicant," she laid down the standards for shapeliness. Stress should be given in recruiting literature to the physical profile required for applicants to the WAF." Miss Cochran also insisted something must be done about WAF clothing. "I have seen several hundred of the WAFs at Lacklanad, and they are the most tattered, bedraggled persons I have ever seen in the service," she complained.
