This is too important matter to

Before hitting the Hoffman hurdle,
the House wrote into the bill an
amendment to make certain that
publishers of weekly or semiweekly
newspapers having a circulation OF
less than 5000 would not be affected
by the Hatch Act.
The amendment was offered by
Representative Creal, Democrat. of
Kentucky, who said economic con-
ditions were forcing many Of the
approximately 400 country editors
to take part-time Federal jobs. These
jobs, he explained, include every
thing from serving as ration board
clerks to running down to the river
to measure the water" for SIS a year.
Describing country editors as "the
unpoluted and non-contaminated
voice Of the people," Mr.. Creal said
it might be argued that publishers
holding part-time Federal Jobs could
not freely express their views in
their own papers unless Congress
specifically exempted them from the
Hatch Act.
Teachers, many of whom receive
their pay from school funds to which
the Federal Government contributes,
were the only group exempted in the
Senate bill. Senator Brown, Demo-
crat, Of Michigan said he believed

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Women
workers in the heavy machine in
dustry were given a hearty indorse-
ment today by Wendell E. Whipp,
president of the Monarch Machine
Tool Co.
Said Whipp in an address pre-
pared for delivery before the 4lst
annual convention of the National
Machine Tool Builders Association:
"As new employees women have
shown themselves just as capable of
learning how to operate machines
as have the new men. In fact, with
respect to some types of operations,
they have shown themselves SUI
perior to men,"
AS of today, Whipp said, almost
8 per cent of the company's en-
ployes were women who have
proved themselves we'll able to han
die all types Of machining opera
tions and our only differentiation
between men and women thus far
has been entirely on the basis of
physical effort.
Il am convinced that all of us
in the machine tool industry must
of necessity prepare for the en-
ployment of women in rather large
numbers before this war production
emergency is over.
And, on the basis of our expert
ence, believe that those of you
who still have this transition before
you may be agreeably surprised.
Il think you will find women
more attentive to their jobs than
Is the case with most men.
"The girls take their jobs Sc
riously. When you walk out through
the plant, you will see that the
girls have their eyes on their work.
They are not looking around the
shop-they are not grumbling about
this or that.
They are frequently asking for
suggestions as to how they can do
their work better, and we are get
ting some mighty valuable ideas
from some of the women in our
plant"

Mr.. Churchill responded
