be pooled In a national fund making
possible a safer and sounder sys-

employment risk and more effective
utilization Of reserves, she pointed
out.
Under national system, a
simpler, more effective and more
economical administration could be
achieved, while local offices manned
by local personnel and local advisory
and appeals councils would bring
operation close to both employers
and employees, the speaker added.
A national system of unemploy-
ment insurance would be better able
to meet the impact of postwar re-
adjustment than the State systems
now employed, Mrs. Woodward de-
clared.

rled about unemployment now" she

Tor men and women to take them,

Training Women
Now Chief Job,
Miss Hickey Says
Employers Find
Women Can Fill
Posts, She Says

The problem OF perSuading en-
ployers to accept women in execu-
tive or technical jobs has now
shifted to one of equipping women
for these jobs In the shortest pos
sible time, according to Miss Mar
garet Hickey, chairman of the
Women's Policy Committee of the
War Manpower Commission.
Addressing the installation meet
ing Of the Business and Professional
Women's Club Of the District last
night at the Washington Club, Miss
Hickey pointed out that acute labor
shortages and successful perform
ances of women in a wide variety of
occupations have overcome the
doubts of some of the most reluc-
tant employers as to the adaptable
ity, efficiency and endurance Of
women workers.
"The greatest possible obstacle to
complete fulfllment Of this ad-
vance in women's work status is
lack of trained women to seize the
new and rapidly expanding oppor-
tunities," she declared. Caught un-
awares, too few women have pre-
pared themselves for executive and
technical jobs now open to them"
The speaker recommended brief
training courses as a measure to
make the most effective use of the
Nations womanpower.
There Is no need to permit en-
ployeS to learn piecemeal by the old
trial and error methods what can be
mastered in intensive training" she
said. Short unit preparation
courses could be given by many edu-
cational institutions, along with
basic training in needed skills."
Stating that by the end of this
year possibly one-third OF all Amer
ican women, IA years of age or over,
will be employed, Miss Hickey
pointed out that great number OF
these will be women who have re-
tired and women who have never
worked outside the home. In out
lining program for placing them
in jobs which must be filled, she
declared these women must be
reached through vigorous recruit
ing policy.
"And when the day of victory
comes, what them" the speaker
asked. cts true that we may have
more workers than needed. But
If so, let's make certain that the
weeding-out process takes place on
the basis of ability rather than sex
that job casualties are the result
of ineficiency and not discrimina-
tion."
Miss Hickey cited statistics show
ing the change in employer atti-
tudeS toward hiring women during
the past year and a half.
Installation of Miss Marjorie
Webster as president OF the club
was a feature of the meeting, with
Miss Hickey acting as installing
officer. Miss Webster succeeds Miss
Elizabeth Mann.
Others who took Office included
Mrs. zada Daniels, vice president;
Miss Louise Edwards, corresponding
secretary; Mrs. Norma Henneberry
recording secretary; Miss Eleanor
