whom will be Lt. Suneson’s cabin
mate aboard the troqp transport,
Gen. W. A Mann.
The Ship sailed from San Fran
cisco for an 13-month tour of the
Orient. Aso aboard were 2,100
troops and 325 cabin passengers.
Lt. Suneson, 27, will be assist
ant transportation officer in
charge of handling cabin passen
gers.
Lt. Suneson, from Chicago, ad
mitted that she “liked the fuss
being made over me. It’s such a
responsible step being the Navy’s
first woman line officer. But there
will be others who’ll come after
me.”
But Lt. Suneson already had at
least one worry. “I’ll be eating
ship’s fare like everybody else,”
she said. “At San Diego I cooked
my own meals, and held my weight
at 115 pounds. Here, I just won’t
be able to eat as much.”
