hapmakers Work Nights
To Furnish Navy Charts

Illustrating that even farthest-
removed units from sea action feel
the press of emergency requirements,
the Navy Department announced
yesterday that its photographic Of
fice - the mapmaking branch is
hve' times buster than it used to be.
The normal output of nautical
charts, about 450,000 copies, went Up
to 1881 900 during the last fiscal
year, or to 100000 including odd
and miscellaneous work.
The United States has acquired
new bases that demand careful sur
veying and mapping. The fleet is
relying on the photographic Office
to provide many guides to navi-
CATION with no delay. This has ne
cessitated employment of a night
shift for mailing and shipping.

Army's First Womon's Editor
ReIishes Job of Trail Blazing
Mrs. w. P. Hobby
Is Wife of Former
Texas Governor
Ry NELSON M. SHEPHERD.

BY NELSON nj. SHEPHERD.
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, the wife
of former Gov. William Pettus Hob
by of Texas, has chosen the hard
way along untrodden paths to rem
der a patriotic service to her coun-
try as the Armys first woman's
editor.
Being an experienced newspaper
woman and executive vice president
of the Houston Post. she is undis-
mayed at the prospect of blazing a
trail in the heretofore masculine
dominated field of military public
relations. 1t is a job she is attack
ing with relish at her desk in the
Munitions Building.
1t has taken the War Depart
ment $50 years and half a dozen
major wars to make up its official
mind that the millions of women
have a peculiar and personal inter-
est in what the Army is doing or
proposes to do with their particu-
lar man. Mrs Hobby's main task,
as she sees it. is to give these Wom-
an readers a break in the news.
AS one of the civilian specialists
brought in as assistants and ad-
visers to Secretary Stimson, Mrs.
Hobby brings to her new position
an experience as wide and varied
as the boundaries and products of
her native State. Besides being
news writer and executive, she is a
LAWYER, public speaker, bank di-
rector, parliamentarian and gold
digger" for the Houston Community
Chest and Symphony Orchestra.
She is the mother, too, of William
Pettus, jr., aged 9, and Jessica,
aged 4.
Admits Being IS.
All that experience and many
other side interests, including per-
feet grooming and fondness for
cultivating friendships. Mrs. Hobby
has crowded into frankly admitted
IS years.
Mrs. Hobby has come here with
the intention of staying at her new
Job only a matter of months to get
things running smoothly. Her ap-
pointment was indicative of the
new progressiveness to which Maj.
Gen. Robert C. Richardson, jr., COM
mitted the Bureau of Public Rela-
tions before his recent departure
for an Army corps post. Six months
ago the Army probably never would
have dreamed of engaging wom-
an editor. Now it has been accepted
in official circles as a matter of
fact that should have been done
during the World War.
Mrs. Hobby has her own ideas
about the way she should dis
seminate news for women readers.
What want to do is to personalize
the news with a woman's slant on
Army things" she explained.
Contracts for new camps may be
hot news for businessmen, but its
not exactly in line with what wom-
en- are most interested in. she says,
and when it comes to counting the

Chinese to Consider
Countermeosures

CHUNGKING, Aug. 2 lP.-Quo
Tai-chi, Chinese foreign minister,
said today Thailand is coming more
and more under the. domination of
Japan and that China, though she
recognizes that the That's are acting
under duress, will consider counter
measures.
Quo spoke in an interview after
Chinese reports had been received
that Thailand has granted recog-
milton to Manchoukuo, Japan's pup
pet, as an independent state.
Coincidentally, the influential
newspaper Takungpao sharply crit
icized failure of the United States
and Britain for failing to forestall
Japanese domination of Thailand
"All of our previous appeals for
the United States and Britain to
protect Thailand and prevent her
coming into Japans orbit have
fallen on deaf ears" said the paper.
THE United States and Britain
Jagged behind again - always be-
hind. Now the sword is swinging
toward their necks. Will they still
pursue the policy of appeasement?"
Other Chinese circles, however, re-
ceived the news of President Roose-
velt's embargo of aviation oil and
fuel to Japan with joy.
Quo. commenting on economic
measures against Japan, said "the
United States has for the first time
adopted measures against Japan.
China's enemy, as she adopted
against the Axis powers in the west,
Britain's enemies. So the anti-ag-
gression front is closer and clear
by that much.
II feel that the economic sane
tions by the United States and Brit
ain have already set in action a
moose around Japan's neck"
He laughed when asked if he was
preparing to welcome Harry Hop
kins, United States lease-lend CO.
ordinator, from Moscow.
"Mr. Hopkins will be warmly well
coined if he comes this way, but we
have not heard anything" he said
He said it was clear that Japan's
decision at the recent imperial con-
ference was to adhere tightly to her
Axis allegiance, and that this was
more important than the question
OF whether she would move north
or south.
"Japan's policy is immutable." he
declared. Sooner or later these
measures Cthe freezing orders must
be reinforced If they are to serve the
purpose intended. Japan economic
ally Is the most vulnerable power,
and the anti-aggression democracies
hold the whip-hand. Japan in the
past has been able to threaten and
bluster only on their sufferance.
.''' If Japan is strong enough to
strike she will do so. The more
oil she gets the more she will feel
able to take the plunge" ..
