British Must “Sell”
Women On Army Career
For Husbands, Boyfriends
LONDON, (#1 — The British
army’s top brass is drafting plans
at the War Office for an intrigu
ing campaign — to win over the
women.
Army recruiters are going all
out to prove that life could not
be better in the ranks. But they
know they have to convince the
women first.
In the House of Commons, War
Secretary John Profumo rose
with an announcement that sent
shudders through former colonels
sitting along the austere benches.
The army of the future, said Pro
fumo, must become a sort of
“housewives’ choice.”
Britain has abolished the draft
and is now entirely dependent
on volunteers to reach the de
sired army strength of 165,000
men.
The War Secretary told Parlia
ment: “At the War Office we are
engaged in a large-scale exercise
to see what can be done to elim
inate some things which are still
making some families discourage
their sons and their daughters’
boy friends from going in the
army.” <
