Boeing Executive Charges Girls
Do More Play Than Work

and they do not confine their per-
manent waves in nets, nor even
snoods, although they've been told
time and again that long flowing
bobs are apt to get caught in ma
chinery.
They are in fact" Mr. West said,
youngsters in search of a good
time"
Nevertheless, he comedies that it
is absolutely essential to utilize
Womanpower to keep the production
of the famous Boeing Flying Fort
resses up to par. AS of this month,
26 per cent of all employees at
Boeing are women, and the per-
centage probably will increase, he
said.
The solution, as outlined by Mr..
West at An interview with news
paper correspondents taking part in
the National Association of Manu-
facturers' tour of war plants, is
gradually to segregate the women.
I'VE intend to put most OF them
into subassembly work." Mr.. West
explained, separating them from
the men in shops on the second
floor balcony"
Subassembly was suited to women
workers, Mr.. West continued, be-
cause generally 1t called for less
skilled and less arduous work and
afforded fewer opportunities for
Irritation on company time.
During the conference, four young
women were ushered in from their
work benches to offer good -natured
rebuttal to the boss"
I didn't mean these girls, Of
course" Mr.. West assured. They're
just what we need"
They were an ex-receptionist, an
ex-elevator operator. an ex-ice
cream factory worker and an ex-
teacher.
The former teacher, Mrs. Marigale
Watson, holder an an M. A. degree
in mathematics, said:
They're trying to make an engi-
neer out of me, and I hope they
do. But after the war, when my
husband comes home-he's doc
tor in the Army-I'm going to quit
work and keep house"

MI. Rainier Auxiliary,
.Unarmed, 0vercomes
Suspect, Gun in Hand
3-BIock Pursuit Ends
In Arrest Of Man
Wanted for Shooting

An lmarmed Mount Rainier aux
iliary policeman last night captured
a man who, police said, had just
shot and seriously wounded another
during fight at the Mount Rainier
streetcar- bus terminal.
The auxiliary policeman was Will
liam Duffy, 38, of 3428 Rhode Island
avenue, owner of the Mount Rainier
Cab Co. His prisoner was listed by
police as Goldsmith Watkins, AZ,
colored, of Washington. He is
charged with assault with intent to
kill Trent Hedgman, about 25, col
ored, also of Washington. The
wounded man was taken to Casualty
Hospital by the Brentwood Rescue
Squad and his condition today was
described as serious.
Mr.. Duffy said he was seated In
his Office across the street from the
terminal when he heard three shots.
Rushing out, he saw man running
down Rhode Island avenue toward
the District line with gun in his
hand.s ..
The auxiliary policeman imme-'
diately jumped into one of his cabs
and, accompanied by two friends
A. P. Clayton and Edward Bailey,
pursued the man for about three.
blocks to Otis street.
Jumping out of the cab, Mr.. Duffy
said, he saw the man crouching be-
hind some bushes.
Il went up to him and ordered
him to come on out and throw up
his hands" Mr.. Duffy said, ''and
before he could move, I was on top
of him"
Asked whether he was afraid of
being shot, Mr.. Duffy declared, Il
never gave much thought to it, I
knew the man was wanted and 1
just went in and got him
1t was the first such experience
for Mr.. Duffy. He said he had
acted as clerk in the Mount Rainier
Police Station, patrolled the streets
and aided regular police in making
minor arrests.
But last night was the first time

Opening of an eastern front against
Japan should have precedence over

Earle Christmas Grafton Page,
Australian representative in the
British war cabinet, said last night
In broadcast to the Australian
people he urged that Russia be aid
ed to the greatest possible extent
with tanks, planes and other equip

devote their main efforts to a new
front in the Pacific.
He said an offensive from Aus

Senate Will Reject
Sales Tax Proposal,
BarkIey Believes
Majority Leoder Thinks
Freight Excise Levy
Also Will Be Dropped
By tire Associated Press.

By tire Associated Press.
Senator Barkley, Democrat, of
Kentucky expressed doubt today
that the Senate would include a
sales tax In the new revenue bill.
Further, he told reporters in dis
cussing the big revenue measure, he
believes the per cent freight ex-
else tax is out"
Il don't know anybody who Is for
it," the majority leader said.
Officials of the ONCE of Price Ad-
ministration and the War Produc-
ton Board have opposed the freight
levy. contending it would raise the
price of vital war goods. Treasury
officials have estimated the tax
would bring in s161 900 900 year.
Increase Over House Bill Doubted.
Senator Barkley declared 1t was
by no means certain that the bill
as finally agreed on would be larger
than the measure which passed the
House. That version was estimated
to yield $6,271 900 900 additional
taxes on full years basis, bringing
total Federal revenues to about
$23, 900 900 900 annually.
Deduction of the freight tax would
leave the bill nearly $2.500 900 900
short of the Treasury's estimate of
minimum revenue needs.
I'VE can tell a lot more about
how the bill will shape up after the
committee considers it in executive
session next week." Senator Barkley
said
That was also the attitude of
Chairman George of the Finance
Committee. Senator George has
said repeatedly he does not believe
the Treasury's income figure can be
met without going to some new form
of tax, but he never specified the
sales tax, indorsed by number Of
important business groups.
ITS not the only one and don't
know If it is the best one the
chairman said. ..
Difficult TO Enforce.
Pointing out that the Federal
Government is now the largest pur-
| chaser in the Nation. he commented
that net income from the tax would
be greatly reduced as compared with
the yield that could be expected in
normal times. A retail sales tax
would present difficult enforcement
problems. he said, due to the short
age OF trained personnel.
Senator Barkley said he saw very
interesting possibilities" in a pro-
posal by Beardsley Ruml of New
York for daylight savings" plan
of collecting income taxes by with
holding them at the source for the
current calendar year and simply
disregarding taxes due for the pre-
vious year.
Senator George said also he saw
some virtues in the RumI plan and
indicated it would be studied closely
by the committee next week.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri, said he was deeply impressed"
by the possibilities Of the plan and
added that Mr.. Ruml had been
asked to appear at an executive
session Of the subcommittee We'd
nesday for further questioning. par
ticularly as to the desirability Of
coupling a withdrawal tax program
with his plan

FTC Accuses Head
OF Draft Board Here
OF Deceptive Acts
Charges Mailing Service
Indicated Connection
With Government

William Edgar Spicer, an account
ant prominent in civic work here
and chairman of Draft Board No. 5.
today was charged by the Federal
Trade Commission with being one of
four men who have been mailing
out commercial questionnaires
falsely indicating that they are
issued by branches of the United
States Government"
Also named in the complaints are
Michel Lipman and Jack Silverman
of San Francisco. trading as J. Sill
verman & Associates, and Leo
Greenberg OF Los Angeles. trading as
Bureau of Research Reclassihcation
Department.
Mr.. Spicer, who heads the WASH
ington Telephone Service, is named
as respondent in the complaints,
which allege that questionnaires
mailed out by Mr.. Spicer's business
Office are used by collection agencies
to procure information on the
whereabouts and employment of
debtors.
Received by u. S. Agencies.
The FTC charges that communi
cations and replies to the question
naires which bear a Washington
postmark have been received by the
Selective Service System and other
Government agencies from persons
who believed the queries were is
sued by these agencies"
Mr. Spicer, who is president Of
the Washington Institute of Public
Accountants. explained to The Star
today that in addition to furnishing
telephone secretarial service to the
public he offers mailing address
service to business firms out of the
city. The two West Coast concerns
are among his customers in this
service, he said.
On the upper left-hand corner OF
the card addressed to the debtor or
other informant, the ETC charges,
are the words, Return to Chief
Statistician, Bond Building, Wash
ington, D. c."
The complaints charge that Mr..
Spicer, knowing that the cards
have not been prepared by and are
not intended for the Government
or any branch or agency thereof y
Is guilty Of IAN unfair and deceptive
act and practice in commerce.
Says Forms Garry Postage.
Nobody has ever said the ques-
tionnaires were printed for the Gov
ernment,' Mr.. Spicer asserted. "A
comparison of this card with any
Government form would convince
any one that it is not intended to
be a Government form"
Furthermore, the draft board
chairman said, all forms sent out by
his office carry postage and are not
franked.
Asked why the two firms were
using a Washington address, Mr..
Spicer said he believed the compa-
nies felt that any debtors receiving
questionnaires from the West Coast
would ignore the data, realizing that
attempts were being made to have
them pay up their bad debts. 49,,
Mr.. Spicer, whose Offices are In
the Bond Building, is a graduate Of
Southeastern University here. Serv-
ing overseas In the first World
War with the Marines, he has been

Talks 10 Grand jury;
Would Sign Waiver
War Correspondent Also
Appears in Inquiry
On Midway Story
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. Sd. 10y
Maloney, managing editor of the
Chicago Tribune. appeared at the
Federal Building today to testify
before a grand jury investigating
publication of allegedly confidential
naval information.
Before he entered the office of
William D. Mitchell. special assist
ant to the Attorney General who is
directing the inquiry, Mr.. Maloney
said he was willing to sign an i'm
munity waiver and added:
Il am going to tell the truth. II
any one thinks that gave informa-
ton to the Japs against my country
they're crazy" Mr. Maloney served
during the last war with Capt. Eddie
Rickenbacker's air squadron.
Stanley Johnston. Tribune war
correspondent, arrived few minutes
after Mr.. Maloney with the declara-
ton that I'm going to tell the
same bloody story I told to the
admirals in Washington. I signed
an immunity waiver there, and I'll
sign one here"
Made Flying Visit.
Mr.. Johnston apparently referred
to flying visit to Washington he
made late in June to tell his story
to Naval authorities.
The newspaper story under inVesti-
CATION, an article which estimated
the size Of the Japanese feet which
sailed on Midway. was based, the
Tribune said, on material gathered
by Mr. Johnston ard was published
June 7 in the Tribune. the New
York Daily News and the Washing
ton Times
y Mr.. Johnston and Mr.. Maloney,
explained that Mr.. Johnston made
his estimate Of the Jap force from
knowledge gained during the battle
OF the Coral Sea, information con-
tanned In James Fighting Ships, dis
cussions with Naval officers and his
own study of Naval affairs.
At the time the Investigation was
announced in Washington, Robert
w. Horton, then head of the news
bureau of the Once of War Infor-
nation, said the story stated that
the strength Of japanese forces
engaged in the battle of Midway
was known in advance in American
Naval circles.
Appeared at Own Request.
Mr.. Johnston and Mr.. Maloney
were appearing before the grand
jurors at their own request.
Mr.. Mitchell said earlier that
Weymouth Kirkland, counsel for the
Tribune, had asked that the two
men be heard. He recommended to
the jurors that the request be
granted and they agreed.
Mr.. Maloney and Mr.. Johnston
went to the Federal Building yester-
day to ascertain whether they could
testify. Mr.. Maloney told reporters
they made the visit because it was
reported the investigation was ap-
preaching an end, and Mr.. Mitchell
had not acted on their request to be
allowed to appear
They presented their cards to Mr..
Mitchells secretary. Miss Leta Mag
stad. She stepped into Mr. Mitchell's
ofIice and returned with word he
did not wish to see them. But they
asked If they should wait, and she
replied:
mo. II Mr.. Mitchell wishes to
see you, he will get in touch with
you"
Are we to infer that Mr.. Mitchell
does not care to see us?" Mr.. Ma
loney asked.
Yes the secretary responded.
Both men left, but shortly after
ward Mr.. Mitchell issued a state
ment saying the grand jury had
granted the request for their ap-
pearance.
