WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

When a housewife gets a job in
a war plant, she is taught to do
her job with as few waste motions
as possible.
But chances are it doesn't occur
to her to try to adapt the same
principles to make her hoCSeWork
easier.
She is going to hear about that
idea in the near future, however.
for home economists from all over
the country met at Purdue Uni
yersity recently to study the prin-
ciples of simplifying work and
speeding up production as develop
ed in industry, and to figure out
ways of fitting these techniques to
jobs in the home.
1t took a war to make it seem
important whether housewife
could clean her house in three
hours or in six. But now that it Is
being given some attention, Mrs.
America may come to feel the pride
of technician in her job as house
keeper.
Not only that, but if she learns
to do her housework without any
waste time or wasted energy, she
will have time left for some of the
outside work she would like to do.
Now 1t should be war work. In
peacetime it can be anything that
interests her.
DISLIKE ROUTINE
Thre probably never has been
a housewife with a brain and am
bition who hasn't begrudged the
time that the pure drudgery of
housework takes-the dishwashing,
scrubbing, ironing.

Wrifes:

The WaShingtonian was telling,
over lunch, why he was on leave
looking for a job in private IN
duStry, though he now is receiving
from a government agency the
highest salary he ever attained.
II like the work" he said, land
I think it is of major Importance.
1t is being carried out efficiently,
intelligently and without politics.
l like my associates and my su-
perior. If I find another job prob
ably it will involve a reduction in
my income.
But here's the difficulty:
haven't anything to do. Circum-
stances have changed since I went
TO Washington a year ago, and our
agency now can carry out its duties
with less manpoWer. Much of the
time I sit around with nothing to
do-and I'm not old enough, yet,
to enjoy that.
Last summer I tried to resign.
I told my superior why - that l
didn't have enough work to keep
me busy He was sympathetic. But
he didn't want me to leave. So he
offered me an assistant
We laughed 1t seemed very
funny. Offering an assistant in
order to retain the services OF Il
man whose only complaint was lack
of work.
1T isn't as funny as you think, y
retorted the Washing oman. There
was logic in the offer. What he
really was doing was offering me a
raise if I would stay.
Under civil service regulations,
the only way can get a raise Is
by bossing my subordinates. one
more helper, and my salary could
be increased That is why / was
offered an assistant"
But why" we asked, SIS your
superior so anxious to keep you, II
there isn't enough work? Is it on
the basis of personal friendship?
mo" said the Washingtonian
'sWe, are friendly enough, but not
that pally. I suppose he wants me
10 stay for the same reason that III
offered me an assistant - because
his status, too, depends upon the
number of subordinates he has. II
left, he would have to fino
somebody in my place or he woulo
drop step in the hierarchy. which
might have financial implications

There are many reasons WhJ
taxes are high. Among them is TIT
cost of the war. But multiply thi.
incident many thousands OF times
and there is another reason.

FINANCIAL BOTTLENECK

The problem of financing the de-
fense of the Philippines during the
fall Of l941 ran into congressional
stymie. Fifteen million dollars were
taken from the Presidents emer-
gency funds, and an additional 10
million were taken from Air Force
funds, but these sums were quickly
exhausted. In September, the Waf
Department asked authorization to
eXpend on defense of the islands
some S52 million available in Phil
ippine sugar excise tax funds, but
Congress debated, then denied the
request and the War Department
did not get the money it needed
until the Third Supplemental Ma
tional Defense appropriation act
was passed on Dec. IT, 10 days after
Pearl Harbor.
BY October, 1941, 100000 tons
of supplies had been assembled
for the Philippines, and 10000
reinfOrcements. Eleven transports
were scheduled to sail between
Nov. Fl and Dec. 8, and IL cargo
vessels by Jan. 6. Six of the troop
ships and nine of the cargo ves-
sells were at sea when word Of the
Pearl HarbOr attack was received.
Four of the troop ships returned
to San Francisco and the other
two made Brisbane, Australia,
after Is days of silence.
How the bottom of the military
supply barrel was scraped in the
early days of the Pacific war is
revealed in General Marshalls ac-
count of a visit from representa-
tives Of the government of the
/ Netherlands East Indies, making
a moving appeal for 25 million
rounds of small arms ammunition.
In the face of the japanese threat.
General Marshall took seven million
! rounds from the reserve intended
for troops in movement to Iceland
and gave them to the Dutch. Four
million rounds were moved immed-
lately from the Philippines.
REINFORCE GARRISONS
The attack on Pearl Harbor made
necessary the immediate reinforce
ment of all U. S. garrisons along
the west coast, in Hawaii, Panama
and Alaska. In the first five weeks
of the war, this involved a move
ment by rail Of 100000 troops with
all their equipment and supplies.
b. June, 1912, 10000 troops had
been moved into the Southwest Pa
cific.

A number of details on early
stages of the conduct of the war in
the Pacific, not previously made
public, have just been released by
Gen. George c. Marshall in his
biennial report to the secretary Of
war, covering the period from July
l, 194l, to June 30, l943.
During the summer of 194l, in CO.
operation with the Australian gov
ernment, arrangements were made
to improve the landing strips at
Rabaul and Port Morseby, and to
deliver bombs and gasoline to these
points and to Balikpapan in Borneo
and Singapore-which were later to
fall into the hands of the japanese.
With these installations COM
pleted, the first flights of Flying
FOrtresses were started to the
Philippines late in August. BY
November, 1941, Fortresses had
completed the trip, going by way
of Hawaii, Midway, then south
through Rabaul, Port M0resby or
Darwin, Australia, then north to
the Philippines. A gap in plane
deliveries from the factory, COM
bined with adverse winds between
San Francisco and Hawaii, pre-
vented the ferrying of an addi-
tiOnaI 48 FOrtresses to the Philip
pines, prior to Pearl HarbOr.

In an opinion on the Grammar
plan, WLB Vice Chairman George
w. Taylor said the board would ap-
prove carefully developed plans
designed to increase the produc-
ton OF existing facilities and avail
able manpower where wage IN
creases bear a proper relationship
to the increased output achieved
as result of the increased effort
OF the employees"
He said incentive programs could
not be regarded as panaceas for
production problems and indicated
the Grammar proposal was viewed
as an experiment.
The Grammar plan was based on
stabilized production record,
showing that an average of As
pounds OF airframe per man hour
OF work was manufactured at its
plant. Employees will receive an
Increase OF one per cent in pay
for each two per cent increase in
output by weight.
Grammar abandoned traditional
plans linked TO individual or de-
partment records. Taylor said the
proposal could not be applied ex-
tensively.
