preme Court jury yesterday IN "a

wife of Frank w. Connor, former

tained by her four years ago when
the automobile in which she was
riding was struck by a bus of the
Old Dominion StagelineS. Inc.

i. 5. MARRIAGE
RULE RAPED

Section 213, the married per-
sons clause" (. the economy act,
constitutes "a discretionary con-
fiscation of earning power" de-
clared Miss Dorothy Thompson,
otherwise Mrs. Sinclair Lewis, in
a lecture on The Right of Mar
ried Women to Earn" given last
night at the Carlton Hotel under
the auspices of the National
Woman'S Party.
The Federal Governments &C.
tion in discriminating against mar.
ried women, she declared. had it's
influences in States and cities and
in private industry. In man. States
today, she said, married women,
despite their obviously greater fit
ness for the work, are not per-
mitted to teach in schools.
The 40-hour week bill for women
pending in the District of Colum-
bia she considered an even more
dangerous attack in some respects
than Section 213. She would favor
a universal 40-hour act, she de-
clared, but the net effect of this
act would simply be to drive more
women out of employment and to
make it more difficult for un-
employed women to get Jobs.
OF 1000 women dismissed under
Section 213 from the Government
service, two-thirds, she said, had
been working in their jobs 10 years
or more, and 80 per cent had never
obtained other jobs.

RIGID NEUTRAL
LAWURGED
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT
international News Service


On this day, the birthday ami
versary of the man who insisted
that this nation should have no
foreign entanglements, a new de-
mand arose in the Senate for an
American neutrality policy that is
permanent, mandatory and draS-
tic.
Senator Gerald P. Nye (R0 of
North Dakota, who headed the
special Senate Munitions Commit
tee which has conducted an in,
vestigation into the causes of war,
lasting two years, sounded the
battle cry. The North Dakotan
realized he has failed for the pres.
ent session of Congress, but he
announced the fight is far from
over. He said:
"We have extended for more
than another year the present
neutrality law, but that is not
enough. We must have per.
manent law, a law that will
not permit bankers to make
pawnS of life"
Nye and his supporters fought
for a law far more stringent than
the existing act, which was ex-
tended with amendments. They
still believe their drastic pro-
posalS should be written into the
statutes.
No matter what issues occupy
the next Congress, the neutrality
issue must come up, Nye pointed
out and, he added, the forces de-
manding a real law, an act that
will, as he sees it. per;lit this
nation to remain aloof from for,
eign conflicts, will be working all
the time to compel enactment of
such legislation.
