Service Seniors
May Be Transferee!
Many seniors in oi’dnance, quar
termaster and transportation will
be assigned to active duty in other
branches, said Col. Shelly P. My
ers, PMS&T.
Myers said this transfer is due
to the overproduction of officers in
these branches. He said that they
won’t know for some time the ac
tual number of men affected or
which branches they will go to.
The changes will be based on the
individual’s branch preference, aca
demic proficiency, academic major,
and leadership ability.
The final seletcion for active du
ty gssignement will be made by
higher army headquarters.

How the stars got started...
Dick Powell says: “At Little Rock College,
Ark., I began singing with a choral group.
This was followed by dance-orchestra jobs
all over the Mid-West — and finally to
Hollywood. After 40 pictures, typed as a
‘ci'ooner’, I finally won a ‘tough guy’ role —
and really got going!”
