Accredited to Army

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. March 26.-Two Amer
lean woman reporters who lived in
London through its worst air at
tacks yesterday became the first
woman correspondents formally ac-
credited to the United States Army.
They are Helen kirkpatrick Of the
Chicago Daily News and Mary Welsh
of Time and Life magazines.
They turned their attention at
once to what kind of uniforms they
would wear. The Army said they
probably will be issued the same
dress as woman drivers attached
to the United States Embassy-an
adaptation of an officers uniform
with a skirt instead Of trousers.

Shift From D. {. Seen
Hurting Patent Office

Any move of the Patent Once
from Washington, either in whole or
in part, will tend to reduce its
efficiency, Malcolm Kerlin, admin
istrative assistant to Secretary Jones,
told the House Appropriations Com
mittee. 1t was disclosed in hearings
on the Commerce Department ap-
preparation bill, made public today.
The division decided upon. that
between Richmond and Washington,
will result in minimum disturb
ance," Mr.. Kerlin said. With the
examining divisions in Richmond,
there may be q slight delay, he ex-
planned. in getting approved applica-
tions or applications ready for issue
to tn, Government Printing ONCE in
Washington.
I'VE expect to institute truck
service between Richmond and
Washington. and bring up every
day applications which have been
examined and approved by the ex-
aminers," he told the committee.
Mr.. Kerlin expressed the opinion
that the examining divisions and
other Patent once units transferred
to Richmond would return to WASH
ington after the present emergency.

u. S. Tourists
Urged to Behave
In Latin Lands

Representative Rabaut, Democrat,
of Michigan wants something done
to keep United States tourists from
creating a bad impression in Latin
America by raising Cain" on visits
to the neighbor countries.
att has got to be frowned on, and
it must be frowned on in big way"
he declared during hearings on the
State Department appropriation bill
for the 1943 fiscal year before the
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tee, which he heads.
Publication of the hearings today
disclosed that Mrs. Ruth 3. Shipley,
chief of the State Departments
Passport Division, agreed with Mr..
Rabaut, but did not think 1t would
do any good to give list of dos
and don't's" to American tourist
along with their passports.
'This is problem as old as for
eign travel of Americans" Mrs.
Shipley said They have misbe-
haved all over the world, and I do
not know anything you could put
In a pamphlet that would stop it"
She suggested that lectures on
ships just before arriving at a for
eign port might do some good.
