Just what has happened in thi.
period of tourist stalemate, together
with progressive thinking of States
and related agencies on matters of
postwar travel, and the development
of attractions for vacationiStS will
feature discussions of the Executive
Committee of the National ASSocia-
ton of Travel Officials at their con-
ference which opens in Chicago No
vember l8.
The results of the deliberations
will form the policy which will be
adopted by the association in en-
suing months. Delegates include
heads OF travel publicity groups and
directors Of State travel bureaus.
Two years ago the association met
in this city.
Some idea of the scope of the
problems the committee will face
may be cleaned from an excerpt
of letter by George Prince Arnold
of the Virginia Conservation Com
mission to the association. Mr.. Ar
mold wrote:
These are not bright days for
travel officials, but it seems to me
now that. in spite of this, we should
do our best to keep the association
going against the day when inten-
sive promotion programs will be
needed to revive big business"
From a recent issue of the Ad-
vertising Age comes this gem: "A
S10,000000 Come to Britain adver-
tlsing campaign is already in the
works for postwar travel, probably
because Hitler couldn't accept the
invitation in 1870"

Hopes for Personnel

The Recreation Department is

for victory building" programs for

At the same time it was indicated
at a special Recreation Board meet

the department for increased per-

District population and additional

before Congress.
"Our employees are spread pretty

we do much more spreading we will
lose effectiveness"
To Seek Restoration.
The department hopes to get ap-
preparations for additional employees
restored at congressional hearings
next week, he said. The only other
hope for handling such increased de-
mands as the victory builders" ex
panded population and totally new
areas, he said, is transfer of en-
ployes from less busy districts. This
would only partially solve the prob
lem. Mr.. Christensen added.
The victory building" program
would supplement the increased
physical fitness program in District
schools by giving children definite
standards of fitness to achieve after
hours and during the summer on the
Fairgrounds. Armbands and other
insignia will be issued to those who
have passed certain tests, Mr.. Chris
Hansen said.
A special committee of the board
members will meet later this week to

Miss Perkins
Urges Broader
Social Security
Sees Extension
Initiation Check
During Var Boom

Extension of present social secur-
ity laws now while the Nation is
passing through an inflationary
period was advocated by Labor Sec
retary Frances Perkins yesterday in
an address before the Women's Ma
tional Press Club.
In talk which also touched on
the increasing numbers OF women
in industry, Miss Perkins said.
This is a period when, for reasons
of preventing imitation, it is desir-
able to withdraw purchasing power
from the market. The postwar
period will be a time when we want
to release purchasing power to pre-
vent too severe def1ation."
There can be no question of our
ability to pay for adequate social
security at this time, Miss Perkins
said.
Indeed, we can hardly envisage
an equally propitious time to intro
duce postponed spending" she as
serted.
The Labor Secretary declared that
the social insurance program should
cover all workers and that lit
should be made to cover much
greater variety Of social hazards
and disasters for all those covered"
Pointing out that after the war
there will be numbers of unem-
ployed during a period of readjust-
ment, Miss Perkins declared that
social security insurance covering
unemployment at such a time will
prove curb and a check against
delation"
Women will be the beneficiaries
of such legislation in large numbers,
she added, as women are now en-
tering into fields of industry in
ever-increasing numbers.
More than 100000 American
women are now working" she COM
mented, "and by the end of this
year the number will rise to close
to 100000"
The speaker said the number of
women in the aircraft industry had
jumped from 1000 before Pearl
Harbor to 100000 year later and
that shipyards which formerly
would not employ women were now
glad to do SO.
Women have surprised not only
employers but themselves, too, at
the record they've made on jobs
they've never done before in the
manufacture of all kinds of war
equipment, from small arms ammu-
milton to big guns and cannon" F."
she said
The speaker declared that while
employers contend men show more
initiative in work, women show more
ingenuity. She told of one woman
in an aircraft factory who short
ened the process of painting strips
of color on tube, thereby saving
eight hours of work on every plane
produced.
Miss Perkins predicted that after
the war large proportion of women
would go back to their old, less-Well-
paid jobs and that many would
return to their homes.
However, she added, many women
will prefer factory employment to
the more poorly paid "white-collar
jobs

prominent positions in the Govern
ment we're honor guests at the
luncheon, which was held at the
Willard Hotel. Miss Christine Sad
Ter, president of the club, made the
