Rather, Gilda is more likely Bill's first wife. As an initial matter, if you look at the 1940 census, it's hard to decipher how old Gilda is (10 or 20) - Ancestry indexes her as being 10, but it has to be 20 as she is listed as working as a clerk in "insurance" at a salary of $900 per year. Also, Gilda doesn't appear on any prior census that she should appear in if she is a sister - i.e., 1925 (NY) and 1930 (US), and possibly 1920. Now, the 1940 census does indicate that both Bill and Gilda are single, which is not consistent with marriage, but these census takers were notoriously inaccurate (e.g., was Louis Finger born in Austria or Poland?), so that could well be wrong (as could Gilda's last name for that matter). But, if she was Bill's wife, that would be consistent with the military initially classifying him as 3A in WWII when he registered a few months later.
