    NINETY EDITORIAL ALT. Ninety-Bines, attention! We ask y o u r aid NINE for your Sister Flyers! The recent termination of recruiting and train­ ing of additional Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) is a matter of sincere regret to all women pilots. This project opened opportunities for women in aviation which have never before been available and offered women pilots a chance to prove that their performance on military aircraft equalled that of TV male pilots. Unfortunately many girls who had been accepted for the June 30th class did not know of its cancella­ tion until they reached Sweetwater, since telegrams notifying them of the order arrived, in many cases, too late. All Ninety-Nines should be cognizant of the facts leading to this cancellation. The Costello NEWS Bill, H. R. 4219, to give military status to the WASP was reported favorably ty the House Military LETTER Affairs Committee. Subsequent to that report but prior to debate on the floor of the House, the July 15, 1944 Ramspeck Civil Service Committee issued a report on an investigation of the 7JASP program which it LEWS LETTER EDITOR had conducted, recommending immediate discontinu­ ance of training, except for those already enrolled.
