FWA Extends
'Non-Discrim'
Work Policy

The non-discrimination policy of
the Federal Works Agency was ex-
tended to cover employment in the
construction Of war public works
projects in the District Of Column
bia by a regulation promulgated
this week by Brigadier General
Philip b. Fleming, Federal Works
Administrator.
This is an extension of the po-
LEY and procedure developed ear
lier to cover war public works pro-
jects throughout the rest Of the
country. An amendment was re-
quired because the ST $685. 900 war
public works pdogram for the Die
trict Of Columbia was handled by
separate legislation. The new
regulation provides that:
.There shall be no discrimination
by reason of race. creed. color, ma
tional origin or political affilia-
tons in the employment Of persons
qualified by trimming and expert
ence for work in the development,
of Defense Public Works at thu
site thereof, including such pro.

At last the morning came when Lily was
to start. The house had been reduced to an
unnatural hush. Lily sat in the swivel chair,
a pile of fresh yellow sheets before her.
We'll. I'll leave you," said Ruth 'Zellan
bring up your lunch at one. And if you want
anything, just ring for her."
Ruth" Lily implored, Ruth, where do
you think ought to begin?''
why, think it will just come to you.'
Lily looked doubtful. Where do most
books like this start, do you know?"
Sometimes they're chronological. And
sometimes they just skip around"
Il think skipping would be better" Lily
contributed.
Just think of some places that impressed
you most" Ruth suggested. Then. being an
inveterate mental globe-trotter who had
never had the chance even to apply for a
passport, she couldn't resist rolling off her
tongue a few foreign names. Rome or

paused sentimentally, and her violet eyes
wandered back down the years. I'VE went to

Ruth shuddered. fascinated. Did you ac-
tually see bull killed? Didn't it make you
sick?"
''Oh, no Spanish gentleman would give
you time to think about the bull!" Lily con-
tinued her "reminiscences. I'VE went up ON a
mountain that first night, remember, to
some little inn. All, what night!''
Something full-bodied and lusty 1ept into
Llys perfect face.
Night" Ruth echoed measily.
Lily returned to the fray. "A night of
poetry - and stars" she amended hastily.
The Spanish are 50 poetic, you know"
She turned resolutely, seized pencil and
began to soibble. Ruth tptoed to the door
and closed it softly.
And that was the last anybody saw of Lily
until dinnertime. Then she came down looking

But Timmy had taken advantage of the

Lily looks peaked" said Bill.
She's worked the whole day." Ruth told
him proudly.
Then we ought to celebrate. Tell you
what. lets drive out to Fuller's and III buy
you a real dinner. What do you say?"
Ruth hesitated a minute. Dinners at
Fuller's roadhouse just weren't on the budget
this summer. Still, she couldn't be a spoil
sport, she decided. with Bill looking 50 pleased
with himself.
Lily stuck to her guns. The house, all day
long. maintained ghostly silence, with the
author clustered in her study. while Ruth,
relieved from social enterprises, caught up
with the bills.
Finally Bill said that J. G. had fixed the
interview with Jason Thomdyke.
Lily looked stricken. I'm scared to DEATH"
she admitted. Il simply don't know how to
talk to publisher"
Remember. a publisher is just a man."
Bill teased
"Yes, suppose so" Lily answered vague
ly. You're sure ought to go now. and not
wait little longer?"
WHEN she came back from her trip to New
York, however. Lily's confidence had in
creased little. Il think he was impressed"
she said mildly.
After that, Lily made several trips to New
York to consult Jason Thorndyke.
I'm sure he's pleased" she reported after
the latest conference. MY. what a lot of
work it takes to publish book!'
j. G. says Thorndyke's as rich as mud"
Bill said, and if he took fancy to your
book be could spend any amount to push it. -
"Oh. Lily. I'm 50 proud of you! Ruth
cried I'm just going to bask in your fame

Not yet, ducl1y. Mr.. Thorndyke thinks it
