Colled Serious Problem
For Women Workers

The establishment Of an once OF
War Welfare to coordinate Federal
action on child care, feeding in fac
tories. housing, recreation, transpor-
tation and other war problems Of
workers. was urged yesterday by the
National Board Of the YWCA In
letter to Senator Pepper, Democrat,
Of Florida, one of the three sponsors
Of the Once Of War Mobilizatiorbill.
The overall OWN bill would
centralze under single agency, the
OWN, production, economic stabil-
tzation, manpower and chronological
mobilization, functions now scattered
among various civilian and military
departments and divisions.
Would BE Fifth Big Agency,
The Once of War welfare, accord
ing to the national YWCA president,
Mrs. Henry A. 1ngraham, would be
the NTH large co-ordinating agency
under the Once Of War Mobilization.
The problem Of where to get a
meal" according to the letter. Is
one Of the most serious problems
facing women war workers. Though
some factories operate their own
cafeterias, buses do not run early
enough to get the girls to the plant
In time for breakfast.
There are no facilities in their
lodgings and restaurants are often
q mile or more away. Lunch periods
are sometimes too short for workers
to get to the cafeteria, have q meal
and get back to the 'line'," the letter
says.
Many Other Problems Noted.
Overcrowding In housing, lack Of
sanitary equipment, no provisions
for laundry. grocery and other stores
miles away from the place Of work
afe all regarded serious problems
facing women and girls.
Calling for Nation wide planning
for the fullest utilization Of al
mAnpower and all materials to meet
war needs, the YWCA urged Fed
eral planning on the war services
front as well. At present cities
and States are trying to solve these
problems with q minimum Of Fed
eral guidance. The Once Of War

would centralize child care, feed

Shipping 10 Equa|ize
East S Gas Supply

Recent improvements in ship
ments of gasoline along the Atlantic
Seaboard's s inland waterway will re-
suit in more equitable distribution
IN the East generally, but Will have
no effect on gasoline supplies in the
District, it was learned today.
Areas which will be principally
benefited by the redistribution will
be the Carolinas and Southern Vir-
ginia. The additional gasoline will
come from Florida and Georgia
which recently have been enloyine
shipments far in excess of alloca-
tions because barge shipments to
northward points have fallen off
Florida has been getting l4O per cent
and Georgia 1922 per cent of allo-
cations at the expense of neighbor-
ing States to the north, a spokesman
for the Petroleum Administrator for
War said
Except for brief period Just be-
fore Thanksgiving. the PAW official
explained. the District has been
getting its full ALLEGATION of gaso-
line, since it does not depend on
barge shipments.
Meanwhile, another order, issued
by the Office Of Defense Transpor-
tation, which will permit railroad
tank cars to be shifted to West
Coast destinations was expected to
have little effect on the East. Pre-
viouslv, under ODT orders. tank
cars were confined to service in the
East.
The move was taken because of
the critical need for petroleum pro-
ducts on the Pacific Coast and be-
cause pipeline completions in the
East have materially eased the de-
livery situation here.

FEC Ex-Aide Reports
Draft Delay Was Fixed
Policy Of Agency
BY the Associated Press.

Dy tne Associated PfeSS.
A former employe of the Federal
Communications Commission. in a
letter read yesterday before a House
committee, said that it was an es-
tablished policy to seek occupational
deferment from the draft for all
FEC workers.
John T. Duty, Auburn, Me, wrote
the Lea Committee investigating the
FEC that 'it took all the persuasive
power have to convince them that
1t was useless to go through the red
tape" of asking for deferment since
he was classified a 4-F.
They told me it was orders from
Washington to apply for deferment
OF all men when they joined the
FEC" the letter continued. Il later
read the order myself"
Mr.. Duty's letter also said FCC's
radio intelligence division, when it
picked up distress calls from ships
at sea, teSephoned them long dis
tance to the Coast Guard, even
when the Coast Guard already was
in radio communication with the
ships in trouble.
1T was pointed out to me-" Mr.
Duty wrote, that the commission
desired these reports to submit to
the Appropriations Committee to
Justify their request for large
budget. They said the larger ap-
preparation the FEC got the more
likely that we would have a good
job and not go in the Army"
FEC spokesmen told reporters
that Mr.. Duty joined the FEC Janu-
ary Is, 1912, and resigned two and
a half months later because. they
said, he was unsuccessful in OBJ
tanning promotion.

NEW YORK, Dec. e-Lawrence
William Brown. l8. of Morristown.

travelling for year through the
country in the uniform of a naval
aviation pilot. first class. with nine
campaign bars and three silver
stars, was arraigned yesterday in
Federal Court for illegally wearing
a service uniform. He was held
under $1,000 bond.
Brown was in New York for four
weeks before his arrest. FBI agents
said. and during that time he Won
a prize on Nationwide radio pro-
gram for the story Of his exploits in
Gaudalcanal and married a girl who
asked him about his campaign rib
bOnS.
The FBI said Brown. using the
name of Larry Lane, posed as a
veteran of % major engagements
and carried what he claimed was
a special citation from President
Roosevelt.
The FBI said Brown admitted
under questioning that he had en-
listed in the Navy in 1941 and was

Il guess my job in the next few
years, perhaps for the rest of my
life, will be to harp on that idea
(revolutionD and incidentally to in
terpret Yugoslavia to America"
The original idea behind the spe-
cial armed services editions was to
provide carefully selected reading
matter for fighting men stationed
outside the United States. How
Mr.. Adamic's book came to be Slip
ped into the list as morale builder
for the battle weary men remains
mystery
Ordinary procedure is for the ad-
visory committee, with headquarters
in New York, to submit its recon
mendations to the War and Navy
Departments once month"; What
happens after that remains obscure
There is no blueprint as to how
this thing operates" said Miss Isa l.
belle Duboise of the Navy's book
department.
According to the War Department,
no book selected by the New York
group may be sent overseas without
Army approval, and contrariWise
no War Department selection may
be printed without the sanction of
the New York committee.
Apparently, both service depart
ments may suggest titles on their
own initiative and submit them to
the New York committee. How
many such books are ever accepted
and then distributed overseas could
not be ascertained. Occasionally
some of the books sent by the New
York office to Washington military
authorities must be rejected because
of mechanical difficulties involved
in printing pocket editions.
The Council of Books in Wartime
maintains friendly liaison relations
With the Office of War Information.
Who placed the final stamp of
approval on The Natives Return
or on other books selected to fit
reading for servicemen could not be
learned. Like so many other phases
Iof the books for soldiers procedure,
this is regarded as military secret.
