It's Washington Problem

of women to men in government
service has been growing until now
the situation is well out of hand.
Budget Director Harold S. Smith
has estimated that $4,000 new gov
ernment employees will come to the
capital this year and it appears
probable that nearly 70 per cent
of them will be women.
Indications are that as of the
moment there are more women
than men in Washington and that
the situation will become more and
more lopsided
Patricia Grady, society writer
for the Washington Post, said that
more eligible men than ever be-
fore" were appearing in the higher
brackets-reserve officers, business
men seeking contracts, returning
foreign service perSonncl-but that
working girls we're having a bad
time of it."
They don't have anything to dc
with themselves she said. They
live five or six girls to an apart
ment and the glamorous Washing
ton they read about at home just
doesn't exist for them.
Not one out Of 1000 ever gets
inside an embassy or a legation
or gets a closeup glimpse of the
President. They come from gooG
families and backgrounds in which
they always had a full social life
only to find themselves stranded.

Smashing Victory Over
Japs Near RangOOn
By DARRELL BERRIGAN

RANGOON, Jan. "a. (UP)
American and British fight
ers today shot down an en-
tire flight of seven japanese
bombers attempting to raid RAN
COON and brought down nine pro-
tecting japanese fighters. bringing
to at least 36 the number of Japa-
nese planes destroyed aloft in this
area in two days.
No losses were suffered today by
the Allied fighters, who yesterday
lost only two planes in downing 20
Japanese planes and damaging at
least seven others.
On their two latest ill-fated at
tempts to blast Rangoon the Japa-
nese encountered such formidable
resistance that they we're unable to
bomb their objectives.

imminent for the Salween estuary
