Defense Program
Held to Increase
Jobs for Women

The defense program will increase
the number of women employees in
the Government, Mrs. Lucille Foster
McMillin, United States civil service
commissioner, told members of the
American Association of University
Women yesterday at tea at club
headquarters. While the present
emergency will give more positions
to women, it will be necessary for
applicants to comply with estab-
lished civil procedure, she said.
The World War was the first
great crisis to bring a revolutionary
change in the status of women en-
ployed, she pointed out. Hundreds
of women who came to Washington
as clerks at that time have risen
to administrative posts and dem
onstrated that women are efficient
and indispensable, she added.
The social reform by which wom-
en- have become the equal of men
with respect to their right to work
is now generally accepted" she con-
tinued Except for a very few
positions, both men and women are
admitted to civil service examina-
tions without restriction or dis
elimination
Mrs. McMillin said that only the
Civil Service Act and the Classifca-
ton Act we're more important to
Government workers than the
Ramspeck bill, signed by the Presi-
dent last month.
1T is estimated that between
10000 and 100000 positions will be
affected by this measure" she con-
cluded.
