WOMEN BENEFIT
FROM WAGE Law

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). EN-
ployment of women has increased
since the District Of Columbia MIN
imum wage law of SIT week Tor
women went into effect, Mrs. William
Kittle, member of the District MIN
imum Wage Board, told the Institute
of Management Policy at George
Washington University here.
The law has added to the number
of women receiving wages above the
minimum, she said.
Mrs. Kittle cited survey which
showed there were 5,185 women en-
ployes Of seven large stores the year
before the law went into effect and
$500 year later.
There were, she said, 1850 women
who got more than the minimum wage
when enforcement of the law was
started and 2,400 who exceeded the
fixed wage a year afterward.
"Our survey showed that the MN
imum was putting the maximum wage
up ahead" Mrs. Kittle commented.
There were $500 getting below the
minimum before the law was placed
on the books, and 500, most part-tlme
workers, year later, she said. DIS
placement of women by men had been
rare occurrence, she added.
Marion Hedges, research director
of the international Brotherhood OF
Electrical Workers, told the institute
that Hitler was reputed to have spent
SAC, 900 100000 to prepare for war and
that a similar military expenditure
in the United States, with it's stand
ards, would cost an estimated $780,
O0,OO0,0OO, which would present a
dramatic and rather staggering di-
lemma."
"Our economy is going to be
changed" he said, "but | hope not all
our values"
Hedges predicted that labor would
do all it could to aid the defense pro-
gram, because it realized it had some
thing vital to fight for and defend in
American democracy.

The Plattsburg maneuvers last
year revealed certain weaknesses In
the National Guard. To incrase its
officiency, the War Department has
ordered more intensive training

increased from 48 to so, and dur.
Ing the present fiscal year National
Guardsmen will be given seven
days additional local field training.
Despite the recent increases in per-
sonnet National Guard divisions are
still far below strength, and they
lack the proper quota of heavy ar
tillery, anti-aircraft, engineers and
other units needed for the organi-
zation Of these divisions into Army
corps. Many National Guard on
GERS will be taken into Regular
Army organizations this year for
varying periods to perform COM
mand and staff duties appropriate
to their respective grades.
The Organized Reserves, the
Army's second civilian component,
now have about 10000 officers
eligible for assignment. Except in
the higher grades there are COM
paratively few World War veter-
ans on the Reserve rolls.

Though there are still some
shortages in the equipment Of the
National Guard, progress has been

meter anti-tank guns. Many Field
