Army to Find Dinner Given
important Jobs
For AST Men
AST students, released from the
ASTP program in the near future
for duty with the Army Service
Forces, will not be dissipated on
unimportant assignments which
do not utilize their skills, it was
stated in a recent order from
Lt. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell,
chief of SOS, concerning the as
signment of ASTP personnel.
The order called to the atten
tion of Commanding Generals of
ASF Replacement Training Cen
ters where ASTP students are be
ing sent that these men were se
lected for ASTP training because
of their previous education and
high intelligence rating. "They
have since received varying de
grees of training at the college
level at a considerable expense
to the government.
This group must not be dis
sipated on unimportant assign
ments which do not utilize their
skills," the order read. "Their
potential value to the service as
technicians, non-commissioned of
ficers and, in many cases, of
ficers," the order went on to
state, "must be exploited."
