WAVE Lost SIS

One WAVE, who just discovered
the room after having waited tnree
weeks for tailor to fix one OF her
uniforms, said that she could have
saved IS and done better job on
the uniform herself had she only
known about the room.
Victims of the frequent rainy
days here in Washington have touno
the room blessing. Just the other
dav two Government workers came
into the "Y" drenched. and visit
fully asked If there was any place
they might press their dresses as
thev had engagements that night
and could not get back to their
rooms to change their clothes.
Mrs. Boell cited another case, that
of a young girl who had checkeo
her bags through on the train ana
wanted to find somewhere to wash
and iron the dress she was wear
ing. Unfortunately, the "Y" has no
facilities for washing clothes as yet
but, always finding way to solve
problems. they sent the girl over TO
Strong Hall, residence hall OF the
YWCA, where she was able to wash
her dress, returning to the freshen-
ing-up room to iron it.
One often hears the criticism that
Washington workers are slopplly
dressed but few people stop to real
ize that when six or eight girls and
sometimes more are living together
in the same room, it is not easy. to
find places to make yourself neat
and tidy after a days work. AS Mrs.
Boell says, "It is amazing how happy
the girls are when they discover
that there really is some place
where they can press rumpled uni
forms, make over last years dress
and start on a new fall suit

on the Fourth floor of the YWCA at
Seventeenth and X streets NV.
Always thinking of ways to lessen
the burden of young women living
away from home, the YWCA has
lust added a utility of freshening-
up room to its many fourth-foor
facilities.
Already frequently visited spot
BY Government workers, WAVES,
SPARS, Marines and WAACS, the
freshening-up room, with its two
irons and ironing boards, three
sewing machines and cutting table,
has been a money saver and time
saver for girls living in wartime
Washington.
Gone are the days of the 24-hour
tailor. cleaner or laundry service,
but for a nominal cost any young
girl may still have these services by
doing them herself.
WAVES have been more frequent
users of the room than the WAACS,
Mrs, Eloise Boell, USO and YWCA
counselor on the fourth floor, says,
but news spreads rapidly II Is
hoped that all girls, whether IN the
service. working for the Govern
men or employed by private con-

much theirs to use as sewing ma

is considered probable on the Hill
that the basis of the legislation will
be the Green-L Lucas bill in the Sen
ate and the Worley bill in the House.
A feature of these bills is the pro-
posal to use V-mail ballots.
1t is too early yet to make any
definite predictions on just how the
problem will be worked out, but the
complications involved are interest
ing. In practically every state, for
example, no more than 10 to 80 days
are allowed between the time of
printing of the ballots and election
day. How to get those ballots to
soldiers in Australia, New Zealand
India, Iceland and Kiska in that
time looks like an insurmountable
obstacle. 1t is even more so in the
case of. ships at sea whose destina-
lions and even locations are mill
tary secret.
To throw onto the Army and
Navy the responsibility of distrib-
uting these ballots, collecting them
and getting them back to this coun-
try for tabulation is serious mat
ter. The man hours involved would
run into the millions. It's no par
ticular secret that the Army and
Navy want no part of the business
and might even have opposed the
voting by men on duty outside of
the country. However, it's rumored
that President Roosevelt has passed
the word along and the report ON
the pending legislation that the
Army and Navy will make to the
Senate privileges and elections COM
mittee any day now will be favor
able.

Bard Says 62,500,000
Will Be in War Work
Before Year Ends
White-ColIur Glasses
Will Have to Fill Cops,
He Tells Labor Press
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23-Predicting
that $500, 900 American men and
women will be doing war work be-
fore the end of the year, Ralph A.
Bard, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, declared yesterday that of
that total at least 3,000,0 900 workers
will have to be drawn from the
hite-collar class.
Bankers, brokers, lawyers and re-
tired men. as we'll as thousands of
women college graduates will have
to be called on to fill the gaps in
war industries plants, Mr.. Bard told
the American Labor Press Associa-
ton Conference. a. ~
He said that 65oo,ooo more war
workers will be required this year,
but more than half will be obtained
by transferring men and women
from non-essential to essential in
dustries. The remaining 5000, 900,
he added, will come from the ranks
of groups heretofore not directly
connected with the war effort.
Urges Publicity for Labor.
Julius Hochman, vice president of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union (AFL), asserting
that labor should go off the defen-
sive and go on the attack" advo-
Gated the establishment by all or
ganized labor in this country of a
100000 public relations fund.
Calling for increased production
by closer cooperation between man.
agement and labor as one method
OF gaining manpower, Mr.. Bard also
declared we must have "a rediscov-
cry by large body of our Nation
that manual labor is an upright
calling.
"In wartime" he added, "there is
no justification for a white collar
class as such, or any other class If
that class does not contribute di-
rectly to the war effort"
Too Much Optimism.
One cause of absenteeism in war
plants was ascribed by Mr. Bard to
false optimism" fostered by mag
nifying of small local war successes
into major victories"
II am convinced that survey
would show that absenteeism in
creases with each new wave of false
optimism that comes along" he said.
IF worker is told often enough
that we are winning the war, it Is
much easier for him to take note of
the fact that the sun Is shining
brightly and the shad are running
in the river.
Likewise, it is accepted human
trait that a victory worth the win
ming Is worth the celebration. In
this respect, would like to point
out that in shipyard activities, alb
senteeism invariably reaches its
weekly peak over each week end,
with Saturday and Monday absences
counting for full 40 per cent of the
entire time lost"

WelIes Says U. 5. Hopes
Firms Will Quit War

Undersecretary of State Welles
made it clear today that the United
States Government hopes Finland
soon will withdraw from the war on
the side of the Axis.
With reports from Europe that
Finland is ready to seek a separate
peace with Russia in the back
ground. Mr.. Welles was asked at
press conference if he believed it
was time for Finland to disassociate
itself from the Axis.
He replied that it was only nat
ural for the United States to have
made clear its hope that Finland
would not longer continue a policy
of giving effective military aid to
the mortal enemies of the United
Nations and of the type of democ-
racy for which Finland herself has
stood
Because of the friendship that has
existed between Finland and the
United States during the last quar-
ter of century, this Governments
hope has been made very clear dur
ing past months, Mr.. Welles said.

Capt. R. o. D. Sullivan, who was

Not REQUIRED to Count Cans

None of the residents at 1900

the amount of canned goods on
hand. 1t was explained that the
White House is classed as an in
stitution and the rations are handled
by the area ration board on that
basis. Thus, under OPA regulations,
it was not necessary for individuals
residing there to make declarations.
The White House secretary point
ed out, however, that Mrs. Roose-
velt's Ration Book No. 2 will be used
when the Presidents wife stays at
her New York apartment. The books
issued at the White House today
also may be needed later for COM
