Defense Plans Help
Middle.Aged Women
Little, Club Told

Regardless of increased employ
ment and activities resulting from
the national defense program, there
is small hope that the problems
of unemployed middle-aged women
will be solved thereby, according to
Mrs. Marjorie Shearon of the Bu-
reau of Research and Statistics OF
the Social Security Board.
Mrs. Shearon, chairman of the
recently formed Woman's Occupa-
tional Council composed of members
of approximately 30 local profess
sional and service women's groups,
spoke before the Pilot Club at a
dinner meeting last night at the Ivy
Terrace Tea Room.
The new defense program will call
largely for skilled technicians and
workers in shipyards, airplane fac
tories and munitions plants, the
majority of whom will be men, Mrs.
Seharon pointed out.
A woman either unframed or with
past training, obliged to seek oc-
cupation after 40 years of age, finds
almost unsurmountable obstacles,
she said. IF women cannot take

u. S. Warned
Of Nazi Peril
To Imports
Economists Should
Become Alarmed,
Author Says

Declaring that Germany has
broken al rules both on the battle
field and in the fields of commerce,
Clark Foreman. author of New In
ternationalism," warned yesterday
that Americas economists should be
alarmed by the Reich trade methods
as our military experts were Startled
by her military tactics.
The speaker, who is chairman of
the Committee on Economic De-
fense of the American Council on
Public Affairs, addressed q luncheon
meeting of the Washington branch
of the Committee to Defend America
by Aiding the Allies.
To defeat the United States would
not necessarily require a war, Mr..
Foreman stated. The United States
must import some IA strategic ma
terials, and with the supply from
Asia cut off, we could get these
products from South America, he
said. However, he continued, If
Germany succeeds in efforts to con-
troll South America, that supply
would be cut off and we could not
survive.
Export Trade Cited.
The economy of this country is so
geared at present that we must
have an export trade, the speaker
asserted, and If that should be cut
off there would be terrific political
repercussions. All politicians would
find 1t difficult to resist such a
strain. he stated, adding: "One dan
ger of such a situation would be
that our business interests might be
as short-sighted as those of Eng
land and France have been in be-
leving that we could appease Ger
many"
To avert such situation, an In
ter-American security that will en-
dure should be worked up, he sug-
gested.
Partial defense is no Defense" he
added. THE best airplanes, the
best warships will not be able to save
us If We are collapsing within"
Mr.. Foreman predicted that If
Germany should succeed in her war
with England, she undoubtedly
would try to lure us into trade with
her by appealing to our humani-
tarianism.
Loan Plea Forecast.
"She would ask us to lend her
money with which to buy food for
the starving British, the starving
French, as well as the starving
Poles," he said.
If such time should come" he
continued, "our trade with Germany
should be governed by national in
terests and not by particular profits
which temporarily might accrue to
individuals. For example, it might
well be said we would be glad to
sell food and clothes, provided that
Germany paid for them with battle
ships and tanks, which would leave
us proportionately as strong after
the trading was DONE"
Mr.. Foreman has written a book,
Total Defense" to be issued in the
fall. His address was made at a
luncheon meeting at Wesley Hall
attended by number of clubwomen.
Mrs. Charles L. Jones announced
the discussion at the committees
session next Tuesday would be on
the problem of the child refugees.

care Of themselves In middle-age
what will become Of them in old
age?" she asked.
Mrs. Shearon expressed the belief
that the only solution to the prob
lem was for the community to
accept the responsibility, appoint
an efficient, well-equipped council,
devoid Of all political affiliations or
personal interests, and let the
council study the situation for the
purpose Of creating jobs for un-
employed older. women. In her
opinion, this council could be well
supported through cooperation Of
women's groups contributing equally
to the program.
"The problem Of the older un-
employed woman is not one that
can be solved by regular employ

ment exchanges" said Mrs. shearon.
THE only positions available by
them are generally domestic, and
the highly trained, professional and
college educated woman is not
equipped for that kind Of work.
Her problem is an individual one
and should be studied and handled
as SUCH"

This fact explains the compar-

Human Bat Seeks
New jump Record

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7. CUP)
-Manus Mickey Morgan, present
holder of the worlds record for a
human bat" jump, is preparing to
attempt to break his own record.
He said he has his wife'S per-
mission and will make the jump
when a concern will sponsor the
event.
Morgan's record was established
in 1887 at Sioux Falls, S. D., when
he jumped from airplane at an
altitude of $500 feet The previ-
GUS record, made the same year,
was held by Glen Sohn, who estab-
lished it in France when he climbed
to 1880 feet before leaving the
plane
The two men used similar me-
thods in making the jump. Each
scared downward on the bat
wings attached to their arms and
body until it was necessary to open
a parachute.
Morgan retired from bat wing"
jumping after he married. He is an

Draft Experts
Devise Plan
For Directors

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. (UP)-
Draft experts worked today on
plans under which conscientious
DIRECTORS to military service would
be put to work on special national
defense projects sponsored either
by the government or by religious
organizations.
The program is designed to carry
out that portion of the conscrip-
ton act which states that a con-
ScientiouS objector-one who "by
reason of religious training and be-
lief is conScientiouSly opposed to
participation in war Of any form"
can be excused from non-combat-
ant training and service provided
he is assigned to work of national
Importance under civilian direc-
ton"
Based on experiences of Great
Britain with such objectors, the
plan would provide that the gov
ernment find work for the men
on special defense tasks SO they
would neither receive special eco
nomic advantages nor suffer undue
hardships as a result of their be-
liefS.
Government agencies such as
WPA, the CCC and the national
health service would furnish the
projects of Importance to national
defense under the plan. An alterna-
tive proposal would provide that
church groups interested in con-
scientious objectors be authorized
under federal supervision to set up
and finance defense projects.

Pleas for Unity
Follow Campaign
Bitterness in U.S..

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. (UP)-Out
of the bitterness of a fiercely fought
presidential battle came pleas for
national unity today from the sup
porters of both candidates.
William Allen White, chairman
of the committee to defend Ameri-
ca by aiding the allies announced
that unity mass meetings would
be held throught The nation within
the next few days.
"The mass meetings" White said,
should plead for unity of national
spirit in support of foreign poi
icy to defend America by aidlns
the allies. This is appropriate mas
much as both presidential candi-
dates pledged all aid to the allies"
White proposed that all Demo-
cratic and Republican campaign

tary of the navy, asserted that it
now becomes the duty of every
good American to foster and pro-
mote a national unity"

If called up, he states his case to
his local draft board, which has
authority to assign him to non

life.
He has the right of appeal from
his boards decision, and may get
a hearing before the Department
of which has set up a

torney general, to handle all such
cases. If in the end his plea is
overruled and he simply refuses to
serve, he gets tried by a civil court
CHURCHES
SET UP OFFICE
Meanwhile, the three religious
denominations whose tenets most
strongly oppose the taking of hu-
man life-the Quakers, the Men
nonites and the Brethren-have
opened an office here in charge
of Paul Comfy French, former
Philadelphia newspaperman, to see
that the conscientious objector
gets a fair break. Far from oppos-
ing this, the War Department is CO.
operating and has assigned a staff
officer to work with French.
French is by no means out to
promote objection to the draft. He
sees his principal job as explain
ing to all objectors just what the
laws provisions are. His first task
for instance, was to make clear that
since the law recognized the objec-
tors rights the objector was under
moral obligation to register.
For example: a week or more
before registration day, French
went to Massachusetts, to talk tc
a group of 70-odd pacifist students
from various New England colleges
He found most of them rather con-

WASHINGTON, Nov. T. AL
though stiffer than the World War
law in most ways, the present sell
ective service act takes a far more
liberal and intelligent attitude to-
ward conscientious Obtectors-for
which reason the whole question is
likely to be much less of problem
than in 1917.
The World War draft law hard
ly admitted there could be such q
thing as a conscientious objector.
A rational policy for dealing with
objectors was not worked out until
the war was nearly over. Hard
treatment was the rule; II OBJ
jetors were sentenced to be shot
(although all these sentences were
commuted and SOB were sentenc-
ed to prison. Many of those in
prison were given extremely brutal
treatment.
Today things seem certain to go
much more smoothly Out of the
100000 men obliged to register
authorities SO far have listed only
80 cases of objectors who refused
to fill out their cards.
SPECIAL FORM
PREPARED
This is largely because the prob
lem was recognized in advance.
While the draft act was before

that while they might not agree
with the stand of the objector, they

Vogel reported theft of new
gold watch from his locker at a
Stockyards packing plant in 1914.
The watch, no longer gold, turned
up in Duluth paWnshop recently.
The hunting case had been re-
placed with a cheap nickel plated
cpen-face case, but police were able
to check the watch number.
Efforts to trace the watch re-
vealed it had been pawned by a
man who had borrowed it from a

fused about the situation and talk
ing rather vaguely about how they
would go to Jail rather than register.
He spent two days explaining
things to them; all registered, as a
result, stopped talking about Jail,
and prepared to make their pleas
in the regular manner if and when
their names were called.
Right now French is conferring
with the authorities regarding the
kind of work conscientious objec-
tors may be assigned to. He points
out that in England great many
objectors are serving on such ultra
perilous assignments as naval mine
sweepers-they refuse to take life,
but they 90 not refuse to risk their
own lives. In addition, various gov
ernment experts here are consider
ing the sort of work objectors might
do in the fields of soil conservation

The Safe Way
To Treat Snakes

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. (UP)-How
to handle snake safely:
Pick it up with long stick, drop
it in a wire box and put the box in
a refrigerator until the snake cools.
The formula was recommended
today by DR.. Raymond L. Ditmars,
curator OF mammals and reptiles
at the Bronx ZOO, in an article,
Snakes In the Icebox", in the
bulletin of the New York Geological
Society.
DR.. Ditmars said he devised the
method when the zoos research
parasitologist saw a tick on the
side of big yellow cobra recently
and asked DR.. Ditmars to hold
the snake while he picked the tick
of. DR.. Ditmars had just had an
almost disastrous experience with
a cobra, which drove its fangs
to within an eighth of an inch of
his finger. Knowing that snakes
are cold blooded"-that their body
temperature is about the same as
the air around them-and that semi
freezing makes them sluggish, he
thought of the ice box treatment.
He said it worked.
