Willkie enter the Government in
some post. This is offered as a
parallel to British practice. But
those wro suggest it forget that
in the British democracy there Is
a union of executive and legislative
branches of the government. What
ever chance Mr. Willkie might have
to unity and lead his own party
inside or outside OF Congress would
be destroyed if he accepted a job
in the executive machine. For I'M
der our system of government all
the executive agency employees are
mere clerks and subordinates Of
the Chief Executive. The only in
dependent instrumentalities Of OPP
position in our Government are in
the Senate and House. The stu
alton would be somewhat parallel
to England if by some means .
Senator from Indiana could be in
duced to resign and the Governor
would appoint Wendell Willkie to
that position. This, however. would
compel him to devote his time to
the local interests Of one State and
not to national policies, and the
object of furnishing a minority
leader would not be attained.

Mr.. Willkie is not the lind of
man who would care to crusade
every day from now till 1914. He
is the type who would prefer to
take an executive position in some
company which has large employ

Airline Is Seeking Hostesses
For Duties of Girl Friends
Dozen Applicants
interviewed Here
By Official

A dozen potential "girl friends"
were interviewed for jobs as air.
line hostesses at the Carlton Hotel
today.
The "girl friend" idea was pro-
pounded by j. j. ODonovan, vice
president of Pennsylvania Central
Airlines before he singled out the
young women for separate inter-
views.
Suppose man had invited a
group of people to his home and
then at the last minute was called
back to the Office, - he said. Sup
pose, in that case, that he asked
his girl friend to entertain them.
She would see that their hats and
coats were, taken, that they were
seated, that conversation was car
ried on, that they were entertained,
and, if they were hungry, that re-
freshments were served"
The airline hostess is supposed to
be that girl friend, he enlarged,
acting as personal representative
of the host" rather than as q paid
employe.
1,100 Names on File.
The girls interviewed today were
among the 1,100 whose names are
on file with the company. If they
pass Mr.. ODonovan, they will be
given a more extensive interview by
the lines chief air hostess and will
go through a months training.
What Mr.. ODonovan is looking
for are girls who are charming in
their appearance for the male pas
sengers, but sweet and acceptable
to the women passengers.
The girls don't have to be nurses
on this airline, but must be single,
attractive, between 20 and 25 years
of age, between feet 2 and feet
inches tall and between los and
125 pounds.

Brick Yards
StrikeCaIIed Off
After Farley
Workers Will Return
TO Jobs; Demands to
Go to Arbitration

The strike of the Building La
borers' Union against several local
brick yards, which had resulted in
a stoppage of work on the Social
Security Railroad Retirement Build
ing, was called of this afternoon.
Announcement of the end of the
strike was made after a 3-hour con-
ference at the Labor Department,
presided over by Labor Conciliator
John Steelman.
The workers agreed to return to
their jobs and to submit their de-
mands against the brick-maKing
companies to arbitration. Negotia-
tions will begin Immediately 10 settle
the controversy and the union
agreed to remove its pickets from
all local jobs. work on many of
which had been stopped by the
strike.
Strike Began Last Week.
Some differences still exist be-
tween the Teamsters' Union and the
brickyard owners, it was said but
there is no strike in effect. An at
tempt to settle these differences
will be made.
The strike against the brick yards
began last week, and yesterday it
caused complete shutdown of
work on the Social Security Rail
road Retirement project-which is
being completed as rapidly as pos
sible for occupation by the National
Defense Commission and the War
Department.
Federal officials stepped in yes
terday and arranged truce. where
by pickets were withdrawn from
the neighborhood of the new build
ings. The presence of the pickets
had caused a halt in deliveries of
materials to the building, thus stop
ping work.
This morning, brick deliveries re-
sumed, although one of the stipula-
tions of the truce agreement was
that such deliveries would not be
made until the strike at the brick
yards was settled
! Picketing Headed OFF.
l. The American Federation of
Labor union leaders threatened to
resume~their picketing, but this was
headed off by the settlement reached
at the Labor Department.
Participating in the conference
which settled the strike were union
leaders, representatives of the COM
panies and labor experts from the
National Defense Commission and
the Federal Works Agency.
The agreement also permitted re-
sumption of work on project at
the Navy Yard, which was tied up
yesterday. Some two or three
weeks supply of brick is on hand
there, it was said.
Meanwhile, officials continued to
work for settlement of a jurisdic-
tional strike between the Plasterers'
and Carpenters Unions, both A. F.
of L. affiliates, which has slowed up
work on the two buildings. The dis
pute is over which union shall in
