Said Miss Muna Lee, director of

"Our organization takes no
stand for or against prohibition,
and we do not take any stand
upon Mr.. WOOdcOck'S action
from that viewpoint.
"But it is plain also that
whatever Is wrong and detri-

is wrong and detrimental to
men. We contend that women
should have equal opportunity
in industry and that the posi-.

 Aviation circles are inclined to believe it possible that the plane heard near Dutch Harbor was the missing "Clesina Madge'', in which Moyle and Allen took of from Tokyo Sunday to attempt non stop flight across the Pacific from Tokyo to Seattle. If so, it would indicate they had forced land ing and had succeeded in getting into the air again.
