MAYOR PERRIELLO
DECIDES FRIDAY
Will Inform Friends, Pub
lie As to Whether He
Will Run or Not

Mayor Patrick M. Perriello will an
nounce tomorrow whether or not he
will run for mayor as the candidate
Of the recently-formed Independent
Republican Party. Until the
mayors decision is announced, it
will not be known whether there
will be four or five parties repre-
scented on the voting machines in
the city election November IA.
The mayor is expected to take
early action in filling of the office OF
corporation counsel, which became
vacant by the resignation OF At
torney Vincent A. Scully, Democratic
candidate for mayor. Also now to be
filled is the post of secretary to the
mayor, which will be vacant Satur-
day, when the resignation of Charles
G. Foster becomes effective.
Close advisers of the mayor differ
sharply as to whether or not he
should run on an independent ticket.
Some tell him that he should run to
show his voting strength and thereby
have a weapon to gain recognition
from the COP. organization. Others
tell him he would be taking fool
ish step and would alternate himself
entirely from regular organization.
Republican leaders seem to be
hoping that the mayor will run in
dependently. This seeming paradox
Is explained by their belief that
If he runs Independently, Mr.. Per-
riello will take more votes from the
Democratic Party than the Repub-
Ican Party. This group holds that
MT. Perriello would attract the votes
of italian Democrats and Of dis
gruntled supporters of Senator
George T. Culhane.

REICH ENLISTS
YOUNG WOMEN
Rural Areas Suffer as Youths
Desert to Find Future
in the Cities
FOR ECONOMIC WELFARE

BERLIN.-In line with the Nazi
precept that every German must
do his bit for the Third Reich's eco
nonic welfare, an army of 100000
to 100000 young girls is being mo-
bilized to share the burdens of the
overworked German hausfrau cn
the land and in the cities.
Just as all German youths must
serve six months in the labor corps
as preliminary to their two years
military service, so the German girl
is bound to serve at least six months
as a mothers helper" in some
home. This service. voluntary for
the first few years Of the Nazi re-
gime, became compulsory at the
beginning Of 1899 and goes into full
swing with the end Of the German
school year. It is known as the
duty year for girls" Last year
the volunteers earned from 81 to $40
a month. plus board.
Women Not Homebodies.
A great change has taken place in
the Nazi attitude toward Germany's
female population. When Adolf
Hitler came to power. there was
widespread unemployment and ''the
woman's place was in the home"
Now the government has had to
adapt its credo to its economic
needs and every effort is made to
get the woman out Of the home
and into industry.
More women are being put to
work constantly, and an increasing
number are taking the places of
men sent to labor on the Reich's
Notifications. road building and re-
construction projects.
The German railways, for in
stance, recently announced that
they would have to begin to "em-
ploy female help. preferably tuve-
niles more than 16 years DID," even
for such work as freight dispatch
ing.
Farm Areas Suffer.
With industry unable to get
enough manpower, girls and young
women are deserting their homes In
the country by the thousands for
more profitable and nvelier Jobs in
the cities. The result is that the
older women have been left to take
care Of more work than they alone
can handle, with detrimental ef-
feet on farming. It was mainly to
check this labor shortage on the
land that decree was issued that
all girls under 25 must enter the
ranks Of the girls labor corps.
A large number Of employables
have just been let out of school, and
the press is loud in reminding both
prospective duty year" girls and
their employers to advertise or reg
lister for jobs. Because Of the la
Dor scarcity. the help Of the female
youth is urgently needed by house.
wives in the country and the city"
writes the ''Wirtschaft nd Recht."
THE duty year will provide house
wives with the necessary help and
will at the same time introduce our
girls to the tasks Of a German haus-
frau"
