Women's Business Manager I' '-. v'~--. ~ -' ,: They Are Necessary AS A MEMBER of the United States Marine Women's Re- serve I would like to reply to Miss Jane O'Neil's article, "Are WAAC3S Necessary?" which appeared in The Daily on Tuesday, April 13. I think if Miss O'Neill had taken the trouble to investigate the military organizations about which she speaks so presumptiously, she would find that these reserves have a useful service to perform. They free men for the fighting fronts; they replace soldiers, sailors, and marines for actual combat. Some of the WAACS are in England and Africa right now. What could be more admirable than to join our men in their march to victory? A, "sissy" woman would let the men do all the fighting for the peace and security so vital to the United States, Miss O'Neil says that "there are many men beyond the draft age who would be only too glad to do the work assigned to these women." Can Miss O'Neill realize that there is a war going on which involves the United States, and that every factory and means of production are now working at top capacity. and speed to supply the armed for- ces with the materials necessary to carry on this war? Has Miss O'Neil' read any of the long ads of "Help Wanted" in any newspapers? Can Miss O'Neill realize that there is a labor shortage? Upon what data does Miss O'Neil base her state- ments? Can there actually be a condition prevalpt in the United, States of oler n,"beyond draft age," who are unemployed and suffering the hardships of hunger and cold, because women have tak- en away their jobs and left them the only alternative of patiently waiting for that job to be handed back? These "older men" no doubt' are very busy with their own jobs in vital industries. May I inform Miss O'Neil that there are many duties besides those of office work required of the WAVES, WAACS, SPARS, and Marines? I could name approxi- mately thirty-six of these but I shall only name a few varied ex- amples and leave the remainder for Miss O'Neil to learn for herself at the University War Information Office in the League. I trust Miss O'Neil is interested enough to learn tlhe true facts since she has taken the trouble to write an absurd let- ter on a subject about which she is obviously very poorly informed., These positions may be listed as follows: Link Trainer, Aerographer, Motor ,Mechanic, Parachute Rig- ger, Communication Officer, Lab- oratory Technician, Librarian, and Personnel Manager. I would dare to say that some of ouIr men in the Army and Navy Air Corps could' tell you how important is link training and instrument flying and how important it is to have that "chute" packed correctly. The government would hardly go to the time and expense of traminimg young, active, and alert women for two and four month periods if it did not consider these positions essential rather than "political"- Miss O'Neill's assumption that all women in the armed forces are commissioned officers is quite er- roneous. There is an established ratio of officers to enlisted peison- nel for each branch of the service, and in many ways the enlisted per- sonnel have more advantages than do the officers. Moreover, certain positions are not even open to offi- cers. All women working as link trainers and parachute riggers can- not be commissioned officers. May, I correct you further, Miss O'Neil. on your conclusion that all the women's reserves are auxiliary branches? The WAVES and SPARS have been established by Act of Congress as integral parts of the United States Navy. The Women's Reserve of the Marine Corps has also been created by Act of Con- gress as an integral part of the United States Marine Corps. It is only the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps which is an aux- iliary branch and not an actual unit within the organization of the United States Arpny. A5 REGARDS the "learning to march" question I would an- swer that obviously the directors of the training programs believe marching is a necessary part of the military discipline. Such a program has the advantages of teaching the seriousness and im- portance of the job to each mem- ber in the armed organizations. The women must fulfill the same high requirements of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps and live up to the high standards of those organizations by which the men are governed. In the words of .Brigadier General L. W. T. Waller of the United States Marine Corps, "You, the women of America, are urged to become Marines and take over duties at home, thus releasing trained fighting men for combat. Like them you will be called upon to display stamina, courage, un- wavering devotion to duty." There can be no question in anybody's mind; we are all neces- sary to winning the war and peace! WAVE, WAAC. SPAR, must, do their part! -Jean S.

DRE NEW FORCE: Labor Endorses Plans For Post-War Wcrld LAB2R joined the fold for post-war interna- tionalism Tuesday when CIO President Phil- ip Murray came out for the establishment of a world federation supported by an international police force, and a reconstructed labor move- ment. Claiming that only by the rebuilding of genu- ine organizations of workers' movements all over Europe can sound democratic governments be established there, Murray said American labr would be against any "deals" with conservative forces in Europe. In thus adopting a definite attitude on the United States' part in the peace, labor has taken the lead in American post-war planning. In demanding labor movements in the Hitler- dominated countries of Europe, United States labor is showing itself more far-sighted than the other factions of the nation, have been. Labor will be a strong element in the impoverished lands of Europe after the war. It can dominate the attitudes, of the countries in almost any direction.' The best way to assure the outcropping of democratic elements in Europe is to allow the powerful labor forces as much free play as is possible with safety. If these denieratic elc-, ments are not existent, then nothing can save the world from World War I. L ABOR by its far-sighted attitude has shown the government the right direction in which to travel. The question of the future of Euro- pean labor after the war has been ignored too long now. Definite plans for it as well as for a post-war world federation cannot be neglected much longer by the United States if this country plans to have any voice in the establishment and the working out of the peace. -Jane Farrant POOR POLITICS: Unty of French Forces Is Yet Unaccomplished RECENT developments in North Africa show clearly that the French-American political situation, which depends on the unity of all French forces, has been further ilmpaired, Despite all declarations to the contgary, Amer- ican authorities are attempting to lessen General de Gaulle's participation with the Giraud forces in the united front in North Africa. These au- thorities have built up Giraud as the man on which the destiny of the North African front rests. The postponement of Gen. de Gaulle's visit to North Africa at the same time that a pro- gram of cllaboration with Gen. Catroux was adopted presents an ultimatum to the French National Committee in London. The reason, given for the postponement of the trip, mainly fighting in Tunisia, cannot be accepted as true. The entire American approach thus far fails to take into consideration that de Gaulle is today the acknowledged leader of the French National Committee, which heads the French Noionna Tihration Front. This is a direct in- DREW C& PEARSON'S MERRY-0O-ROUND WASHINGTON, April16.- Although food was supposed to be the chief topic of discussion at the recent White House conference with farm leaders, actually Foodczar Chester Davis did his best to sell the President on pay-as-you-go taxation. He proposed it as an anti-inflation measure to drain off surplus income and ease the work of income tax payment on the average citizen. "We have simply got to come to it, Mr. Presi- dent," argued the food chief. "It was unfortu- nate that pay-as-you-go taxes were given a black eye by the Rum plan. But pay-as-you-go' taxes should go hand in hand with rationing to prevent overspending." The President didn't commit himself definite- ly, but indicated that he would favor a pay-go plan if windfalls to the wealthy, as provided for in the Rum Plan, were coipletely eliminated, Ed O'Neal, President of the Farm Bureau Fed- eration and Ezra T. Benson, Executive Secre- tary of the National Council of Farmer Coopera- tives also took up the cudgels, O'Neal contending that taxpayers wouldn't be able to meet next year's assessments unless the pay-as-you-go plan or forced saving 'were adopted. GOP Watching Chances "I've made a poll of taxicab drivers and they, are all for it," said O'Neal "The great majority of the American people feel the same way. They are against windfalls but they feel they won't have enough money to pay their income tax pay- ient next year. If the Administration doesn't take some action on this, the Republicans will steal the ball from you." "That's right, Mr. President," chimed in Ben- son. "The farmers in my rganization are over- whelmingly for a pay-as-you-go tax program. I think labor is, too." "'Maybe you're right," responded the President. "Chester (to Davis), I 'suggest that you talk this' over with Congressional leaders." The conversation then turned to farm distri- butionand the President drew on his own experi- ence as a farmer to illustrate the .difficulty "little farmers" are having getting their crops to market. "I used to raise 100 barrels of apples every year on my Dutchess County farm in New Yrk," the President said. "I also raise some apples on my land in Georgia." Stale Navy News It looks as if the Navy was up to its old trick of releasing stale information months late, but jazzed up to make it look as if the battle bad just occurred. For instance. on March 13 many newspapers featured a Navy announcement "U.S. SUB' SINKS JAP WARSHIP IN WILD BATTLE."' Then follQwed .an account which,, although no date was given, looked as if the battle had taken place just a few days before. Among other things, it listed Herbert A. Calcaterra as killed; However, if anyone took the trouble to lok up the American Magazine for March, he would Id Rather Be Right 1--By SAMUEL GRAFTON f--- NEW YORA, April 16.- SNAPSHOTS, OF A WORLD AT WAR: So the girls of Sfax kissed the English Tommies when they arrived, and gave them wine to drink. It is like a story out of an old book. They strewed flowers before the soldiers under the African sun. I3,X America, a Hearst writer pops up with the idea that we ought to have a world police force, by all means, but that both Germany and Russia ought to be kept off of it. It would make too much trouble if we let either country in, he says. Maybe he's just not the kissing type. Germany, also without kisses, announces that 250,000 French prisoners of war ar'e to be re- leased in exchange for a equal numnber of con- scri4t workers sent from France. But they are to be released in curious fashion. They will stay in Germany, as workers. They will not be captives, but will be on "captivity furlough." They will continue to live in the same prison camps in which they have lived before, but the barbed wire will positively be taken down.' Walter Wnchelw. proclaims his displeasure because, he says, his radio sponsor won't let him praise Mr. Roosevelt sufficiently. As of this writing, the anti-kissing bloc in the world seems to have a slight majority.- Love seems about to break out for a moment, as Captain Eddie Rickenbacker announces that he does, indeed, draw a line between good labor and bad labor. He admits there are millions of good workers who are not absentees. Next mo- ment he recommends that overtime pay be' taken away from all of them, good and bad alike. No hits, no runs, no kisses. However, not all' the news is dreary. Mr. G. H, Archambault (who also got the "captivity fur- lough" story, above) reports to the New York T imes that the Vichy government is being snick- ered at all over France because it compelled each community to store potatoes, and has for- gotten to release them, in spite of the fact that spring is here' and the potatoes are about to sprout and spoil. It may have been the demo- crats who let France fall, but the fascists don't even know how to keep potatoes. If.France isn't getting any love, she is at least getting some laughs. Ah, love! Mr. Sumner Welles, assistant secre- tary of state, reports that he has the same tender feelings toward the plain people of the world as dp his critics. He really hates French and Span- ish fascists (he doesn't say it quite that clearly), but he must carry on with it, aspart of amaneu- ver against the enemy. It has been going on for years, but it will not be for always. When the time comes (here. too, Mr. Welles sort of mumbles, and' one hais to guess what he means) he will throw Peyrouion out, and kick Francm in the stomach, and grab the nearest French or Spanish demoirat an4 smooch him. Meanwhile, there is a mixed chorus of de Gaullists, Austrian democrats, Spanish loyalists In African prison camps, and French underground workers humming that they don't. mind If he dissembles his love, but -DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 2) quest after May 10 at the Information Desk in the Business Office, Room 1, University Hall.
