Woman MAY HEADI
CITY Department
Letter by Moore Lends Color to
the Often-Discussed
Appointment
ASKS FOR SUGGESTIONS

Appointment of a woman TO the new
post of director OF public welfare by the
next Mayor appears highly probable in
the light Of n letter which Congressman
Moore Republican nominee for Mayor.
has written to Mrs. Cornelius Steven
son. chairman of the womcn's commit
iec associated with the Moore campaign
committee.
Tho letter lends color to the sugges
ton heard in Moore headquarters last
week that Mrs. Jane Dcetcr Rippin,
formerly chief probation officer for the
Municipal Court and a well known
social worker. might he named either
director or assistant director of the new
department.
After thanking the women for their
part in the campaign now closing. Con-
gresham Moore wrote:
Moore's Letter
II think the department of welfare,
dealing with questions of housing. sani-
tation. recreation. piers and public
Fairgrounds. bath houses. stations of
comfort and other necessary adjuucts to
the success of modern municipality,
will bc the special concern and pride Of
the public spirited women of Philadcl
phia. and it is because of this belief,
aud in the hope that the women who
have organized to help in matters Of
this kind will be willing and free TO co
operate with the incoming administrn
ton, that / bring this specifically to
your attention
Mr.. Moore added that the response Of
audiences to the discussion of plans for
the new department was highly pleas
ing.
1t is understood that in writing tn
tho women, Mr., Moore had in mind
meeting of group of women at the
Acorn Club which Murdoch Kendrick,
campaign manager, had been invited TO
address,
The women brought up the question
of the appointment of the director of the
new department and referred to the fact
that Mr.. Moore in his primary cam
paign had referred to the possibility of
naming woman. Mr.. kcndrick re
piled that the candidate had made no
pledges to any one, but that he would
be glad to have suggestions.
'Aud don't be stingy with your sug
gestons.' added Mr.. Kendrick. Give
him four or five names.
