Confusion Admitted

According to the specialist's there has been a considerable amount of lost motion and general confusion. When the house appropriations committee held up funds, the corps went ahead and operated with borrowed personnel; a procedure not particularly conducive to efficiency. There has been a lot of non-es-sential controversy within the ranks, in some ways similar to the WAAC argument over uniformzs. For a while there was a dispute as to whether

The specialist corps is trying hard not to tread on ths army’s corns. A liaison officer has been appointed to smooth the path between both camps and any ineligible candidates for the corps are supposedly passed on to the army if their qualifications merit the recommendation. So far there hasn't been much brush about physical qualifications; 10 of the first 11 candidates referred to the surgeon-general’s office flunked their army physical. Incidentally, there is nothing in specialist’s by-laws which. would prevent a woman from becoming an officer if she owned the correct qualifications,
