the virus of alien and Fifth Col-
umn propaganda. The menacing
nature of this propaganda was
shown by such false Axis reports
as that Protestants in Manila
had pledged cooperation with
Japanese forces; that the Roman
Catholic Archbishop of Manila
had asked his co-religionists to
cooperate with the Japanese; that
Catholic missionaries in Hong
Kong had approved the Japanese
occupation of Manila; that the
Protestants and Jews of North
America were banded against the
Roman Catholics of South Amer-
ica.
The Fifth Columinists have had
their claws, if not removed al-

blunted. Before the entry of the
United States into the war, some

memoration of the anniversary of
the invasion of Poland. Meetings
were held throughout the country,
with Polish flags flying. A fea-

yellow badges to be affixed to
doors. The proceeds of these sales
are to be used to aid Polish refu-
gees in Russia and elsewhere.
At a meeting held today in Tel
Aviv, Polish government repre-
sentatives joined with Jews in re-
viewing the three years of war
and expressing hope for the re-
construction of a free Poland.

A century old prejud ice against women as sickness and accident risks is the latest casualty in
the national defense
program.
For the first time, women in business and industry are placed on the same footing as men in a new salary and
protection plan announced today by the CONTINENTAL CASUALTY COMPANY, according to (A. A. hospital ,
State Manager.
The impact of the rearmament program that has swept American industry has finally affected the staid, peaceable insur-
ance business to the extent that this company has removed female "exclusions" and now issues a policy covering diseases
common to women.
Women's increasing employment in defense industry is in large measure responsible for Continental's departure from long
standing restrictions against women.
