beauty parlors for shampoos or IA
cials. were described by Inez Robb,
foreign correspondent recently re-
turned from London, before the
'Women's National Press Club yes
terday.
Speaking at a club luncheon at
the willard Hotel, Miss Robb derided
contentious by opponents Of the
proposed American Women's Army
Auxiliary Corps that "the Army Is
no place for women"
They should see what the Eng
hshwomen are doing" she declared.
The women Of England are not
only performing all kitchen work
for armed services ashore. serving
in military meSses and doing clerical
duty but are actually the girls
behind the guns" she reported.
They spot the planes, plot their
range and speed. and determine the
amount of powder to be placed in
the guns" she said. THE only Job
left for the men is to pull the trigger
Miss Robb told how American
pilots arriving at English airhelds
for the first time are surprised to
find their planes surrounded by
women mechanics. And they are
perfect mechanics, too" she COM
mented.
Women have been found particu-
larly adept in signal work and re-
Gently the British army has tried TO
recruit women for meteorological
work, she said.
Don't think that war makes
women masculine" Miss Robb
added. Their nails are broken and
their hands are calloused but their
hair is always beautifully coiffed
and their compilations are lovely.
Every woman takes her weekly trip
to q beauty parlor to keep herself
as pretty as possible"
Packing parachutes is another
duty performed In England exclu-
sively by women, the speaker ex-
planned
"A visit to a large airfleld near
my home in Idaho showed great,
strapping American soldiers packing
parachutes," she remarked. There
is no reason why that work can't
be done by women"
Miss Robb was introduced by
Esther van Wagner Tufty, the
president. Other guests included
Mrs. Florence Kerr, Mrs. Ellen S.
Woodward, Kenneth Stonehouse,
recently of Reuters, in London;

Voteless Unit
Hears Panel
On Initiation
Control of Prices
Is Defended
And Opposed
BY FRANCES LrDE,
womens C7zb Editor.

While an agricultural economist
urged the need Of Immediately
stsbilizing all prices, a labor repre-
sentative cautioned that freezing
wages at the present time might
have a bad effect on morale, in q
discussion on imitation before the
Voteless District League Of Women
Voters yesterday.
Marion Hedges, director Of re-
search of the International Broth
erhood Of Electrical Workers. con-
fessed TO q fear that imitation could
not be arrested by the stabilization
Of prices alone.
Calling wages symbol Of attain
ment," however, he warned that the
symbol could not be swept away
without paying a price for it.
You have to balance cost against
gain" he declared, "and I'm not
certain that the moment has ar
rived when we should freeze wages.
Economist Advocates
Control on All Prices.
Howard r. Tolley, chief Of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economies,
advocated comparable controls on
all prices, including farm prices, as
well as on wages and profits.
The stage is all set now for some
very rapid price rises all along the
hne unless something real Is done
about It," he warned.
Both points Of view were ex-
pressed in a panel discussion, THE
War and Your Pocketbook," spon-
sored by the league as part Of its
one-day school on taxation and
price control at the Washington
Hotel.
Also participating were Thomas
Tarleau, tax legislative counsel OF
the Treasury Department, and Don
d. Humphrey, chief Of the price
analysis and review section OF the
ONCE of Price Administration.
Asked to explain the Treasury's
opposition to a compulsory savings
plan, Mr.. Tarlean pointed out that
many groups had been organized in
support of voluntary savings and
that 1t was felt much of the en-
thusiasm would be lost should the
plan become compulsory. Failure
of the voluntary system within a
few months, however, would result
In a different program, he predicted.
Standard OF Living Must
Be Changed, Panel Is Told.
Mr.. Humphrey pointed out that
the war production program makes
it necessary to disturb the standard
Of living. The question, he said, is
to find the easiest, best and fairest
way to alter it.
A background for the discussion
was provided at the morning session
in talks by Dexter NJ Keezer, an
assistant administrator of the o. p.
A.; Senator Brown, Democrat, of
Michigan, and Randolph Paul, as
sistant to the Secretary of the
Treasury.
Mr.. Keezer suggested there had
not been sufficient emphasis on the
possibility of relieving upward pres
sure on prices by having larger sup
plies of goods and services made
available to civilians.

PREPAREDNESS
~ tie
AMERICAN RED CROSS

a NATION at war must guard
"A its health. One sure guard,
and one of the best forms of pre-
paredness is proper diet.
Since World War I, the Amer
lean Red Cross has offered the
nations housewives nutrition
courses, designed to teach both
men and women how to eat and
keep well and strong. But Amer
leans felt that since they were the
best fed people of the world, they
must also be the best nourished.
In that belief they were mistaken.
The army reported that one
third of all applicants for war
service were being rejected
because Of poor health-bad
teeth, heart trouble, poor eye
sight, skin diseases-all trace
able to undernourishment.
Americas mothers and house.
wives were shocked into action.
Within the past year, more than
$50, 900 women have won Red Cross
Food and Nutrition certificates by
attending these courses held by
Red Cross chapters in more than
1850 counties throughout the Unit
ed States.
In these Food and Nutrition
courses, women learned the
importance Of preparing and
serving the right amounts Of
the right kinds of f0ods-fOOds
which contained the needed
health protective qualities to
keep their husbands fit for jobs
in the shipyards, the farms,
the mines, the steel mills, and
to build their children into
physically stronger Americans.
These food-conscious women
have also learned how to buy food
economically and how to make the
best use of rationed foods, and
how to plan meals that enable
them and their husbands to work
harder, longer and better to help
win the war.
