Doing Grand job President
Tells Secretary Perkins

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-ln
message to Secretary of Labor Per-
kins, President Roosevelt paid tribute
to the millions Of American women
engaged in war production and at
work in mems places on civilian jobs.
Secretary Perkins read the message

nection with the 25th anniversary of

ment of Labor.
Praising the women workers for the
"grand job" they are doing, the Presi

81 am informed that approximate
ly 100000 American women are
now working, more than 100000 of
them being engaged in producing the
munitions with which the United
Nations are steadily beating down the
Axis. More and more of our women,
in the months to come, will go into
munition plants, into aircraft factor
les, into shipyards and into the other
industries making actual equipment
for our soldiers, sailors and marine
or into plants servicing our armed
forces.
"They are doing grand job, all of
them. Working under what are new
conditions, for most of them, they are
showing the skill and efficiency which
make for high production.
"We owe them and their sisters,
who are taking the places of men in
many drudging civilian jobs, a great
debt and JON with Americans here
and those on fighting fronts all over
the world in acknowledging it upon an
occasion such as the anniversary of
the Government agency which is so
much concerned with their welfare"

British Hear
Conference Is
On in Africa

LONDON, Dec. z (INS)-
The well-informed British
Press Association said today
it is believed" that a confer
ence of President Roosevelt,
Prime Minister Churchill and
Turkeys President Ismet
Inonu "is now in progress" in
North Africa following last
weeks Teheran meeting.
TIE article declared that the
new deliberations may be almost
as important in their effect on
the course and conduct of the
war as the Teheran talks with
Premier Stain and the preceding
Roosevelt Churchill-Chia meet
ing at Cairo.
BALKAN INVASION
Should the Allies be granted
military transit through Turkey
and bases on Turkish soil, the
long predicted invasion of the
Balkans toward an eventual juno
ton with the Red Army would
be enormously facilitated.
German broadcasts laid stress
on a -raport that Inonu was ac-
I cUmparneu 10 the North African
meeting with Roosevelt and
Churchill by Marshal Fevzi Cax-
max. chief of the Turkish general
staff. This indicated that military
operations involving hitherto. neu-
trail Turkey were being discussed.
PRESSURE REPORTED
The Daily Mails diplomatic
correspondent said it was clear
from the tenor Of reports circu-
lifting in Europe that the Allies
are APPLYING pressure to Turkey
TO declare herself something more
than a co-belligerent."
The British Press Association
did not mention Cakmak. but
agreed with another part Of the
German account - that Turkish
Foreign Minister human Mene-
mencioglu lis understood" TO have
been in the party that went to
North Africa with lnonu.
