Within organizations and social
groups that have regular meet
ings along constitutional lines,
the "overworked secretary" has
become proverbial. Almost every
one can name, offhand, some or
ganization which owes its exist
ence and smooth running to the
ardor of a tireleSS secretary.
Down at the Agriculture Depart
ment, where employees indulge in
all varieties of extracurricular
social and recreational activity,
Mrs. Elsie E. Romero is pointed
out as a typical example Of un-
selfish worker whose steady zeal
has kept her organization thriving
over a period of years.
Mrs. Romero, an assistant clerk
in the Agriculture Photographic
section, has been Secretary-treaS-
urer of the Ladies Federal Bowl
ing League for most of the past
decade. AS most masculine wit
nesses will declare, an organiza-
ton composed solely Of feminine
members generally excelS in in
ternal strife if it lacks a steady
hand at the helm, but Mrs.
Romero'S aid to President Doris
Goodau has resulted in consist
emily smooth administration with
in the league.
Also Official Scorer
In addition to her secretarial
duties for the bowlers, which she
has held for the past eight years,
Mrs. Romero also acts as official
scorer and captains the "Agricul.
ture No. 2" team. And in recog-
milton Of her willingness for hard
work, she was recently elected to
her second term as treasurer of
the Agriculture Athletic Associa-
tion, which now comprises 1,50O
of Secretary Wallace's staff.
A new York product, Mrs.
Romero came to Washington 20
years ago after preparing herself
for commercial art career, and
has remained in the Government
since. All of her employment
has beeen with Agriculture.
Another "overWorked secretary
within the department is Mayne
Fleharty, who acts as secretary"
for the Agriculture Ladies Bowl
ing League in addition to rolling

STEEL WORKERS
 IN AGREEMENT

Portsmouth, O., July ii.--(UP).- Union employees Of the Wheeling Steel Corp, agreed early today to return to their jobs and end their strike which began May 22. Joseph K. Gather, associate of John l.. Lewis, who split with American Federation of Labor heads over inc duStrial and craft unionization, aFl- ilounced that 4,O00 union strikers who met here last night agreed tc settlement. Exact terms of the agreement will be revealed today in Pittsburgh and Portsmouth offices of the company, Gather said.
 Employes will start returning to work Sunday, Gather said. The plant, which normally employs $500 men, has been closed since the ASnaigamated Association Of Iron, Steel and Iron Workers called the waikout demanding wage increases up to 50 per cent and abolition of 4 departmental councils which t declared were actually company unions. The unions accused the cor. poration Of violating en order Of the national labor relations board to diSband the councils. The company replied that the boards ruling waS unconstitutional

ITALY, GERMANY
 READY TO AGREE

Rome. July ii-(UP)-Vienns re. ports that Germany and Austria have finally negotiated . peace pact were considered in diplomatic quar- terB here to Do irrefutable evidence that Italy and Germany are on the point of concluding c political liEl' derStanding of far reaching i'm. portance. In some quarters 1t waS believed that an Italo.d German agreement has been reached al- ready. Chancellor Adolf H!tler's reported promise not to interfere in Austria's internal affairs was re- garded as the price Germany dc. cided to pay for Italian support Of German Temilitarisation of the Rhineland.
 Many believed that before anti. Italian sanctions end on July ib, 0ermay and Italy will present Eur. ope with . working agreement which will have most important repercussions throughout Europe.
 It was considered almost certain that Austrian Chancellor Kurt schushcnigg would not have gone so far in negotiations with Ger many unless his plans had the ap" proval of Premier Benito Musso" lini.
