had previously been brought to the
attention of the New York con¬

Maj. Ransom informed Rep.
'avits in a letter that the delay
in integrating' the detachment was
due to the housing situation at
Fort Knox, but this will soon be
corrected. «
The WAC, who preferred that

brou ,, ht this matter to the atten-
tion of Congressman Javits be-
eause bis “reputation for fairness
as a statesman is well known all
the United States.”
In expressing her feelings on
lIi is matter, she told him:
“On the 27th of October, 1952,
I raised my right hand to Almighty
Cod swearing to Him that I would
faithfully serve my country. I
promised 1 would obey every order
and go cheerfully everywhere mv

what that oath meant to me when
I took it and it still means that
to me. Every since my first day
in the service, I have done my jobs

She pointed out that as far as
she knew this was the only
in the entire army which
gates the WACs.
She, therefore, requested her
representative to look into
matter if for no other reason
to maintain the “common
of every man who breathes and the
building of the morale of a

Congressman Javits’ inquiry into
this matter brought an immediate
