1t is easy to see why women
who never before have worked
outside their homes expect praise
along with their pay checks.
When they cooked a good meal
their husbands praised it. If they
did something extra, such as max
ing a dress, their husbands told
them how smart they were.
When they said they were tired,
their husbands sympathized and
cautioned, "NoW take it easy to-
morrow. No need for you to kill
yourself"
TAKEN FOR GRANTED
But when they went into the
working world, secretly feeling
like heroines answering their
country's call, they found that
praise wasn't dished out very
freely. You were expected to do
your job and no one else was espe-
cially excited if you did it we'll
It was so new and different that
some of them evidently couldn' t
take it.
Maybe it would be worth the
boss while these days to kid his
women workers along the way he
does his wife.

speech without clearing it at owl.
Mr.. Jeffers won that one, too.
In the spring, Undersecretary of
War Patterson charged that tactics
employed by the rubber director in
expediting his program had seriously
reduced the output of aviation gaso-
line. Mr.. Jeffers quickly demanded
investigation of the charges by the
Truman committee. The hearing
exonerated Mr.. Jeffers. Mr.. Patter-
son, who had attacked the rubber
director bitterly in the press, amazed
spectators by referring to Mr.. JEFF
fers, almost affectionately, as JEFF"
On emerging from the Truman in
vestigation, Mr.. Jeffers discovered
that Mr.. Nelson had taken away
rubber ALLEGATION powers from him
and given them to the Office of Civil
ian Supply. Enraged, Mr.. Jeffers
took the fight directly to the Presi-
dent. He threatened to resign and
take his entire staff with him. Mr..
Nelson withdrew the directive.
At Odds With Henderson.
Early in his Capital career, Mr..
Jeffers made an enemy of Leon
Henderson, then OPA administra-
tor, by taking control over tire ra-
tioning and distribution from OPA.
Mr.. Henderson bitterly opposed the
move. He never forgave Mr.. Jeffers
and had few kind words for him
after that.
Mr.. Jeffers had many battles with
Mr.. Nelson. Following one argu-
ment in the WPB chiefs Office, Mr..
JefferS told his boss" in effect,
though in more expressive language,
that he could go jump in the lake"
When Mr.. Jeffers arrived in
Washington the rubber program was
in great confusion. He quickly gath
cred a staff of the Nations most
competent construction men, rubber
experts and chemists. He selected
the processes for making synthetic
rubber from a huge number which
were being promoted and set to
work erecting the plants. Rapid
progress has been made since until
now the rubber program is far from
Americas greatest problem.
Official red tape rolled off the
big railroad man like water from
duck He did not cut the tape, he
ignored it. Although he threw his
full weight behind his many battles,
he did not take them too seriously
He was always ready with a wise
crack.
Yesterday, a reporter asked him
