Noteless League Begins Drive
To AdUance Postwar PLunning
BY Frances Lide,

campaign opened. Now they rather
enjoy the experience.
Rationing "Springboard."
Ratloning serves as one of the
best "springboards" to postwar plan
ming. Everybody likes to complain
a little about the difficulties of ra-
tlonlng, members have found. The
obvious opening then Is to ask: do
you think We'll have to go through
it again?"
The funniest experience so far
was reported by two members who
never had met. They were side by
side on streetcar and started chat
ting about the weather. To jump
from the weather to postwar Or
ganization proved to be a difficult
transition. Each f1oundered in the
effort; then began to suspect the
other. The encounter ended in a
good laugh when they identified
themselves.
On the whole, the women have
found that the public is interested
in postwar planning. The most
frequent question asked concerns
our future relations with Russia.
In organizing the campaign, the
league formed IS units whose lead
ers worked with Mrs. Walter
Laves, program chairman, and Mrs.
E. w. Spaulding, chairman of or
ganization.
A photography of such works as
Wendell WILKES "One World" and
magazine articles dealing with for
eign policy also was compiled by
Mrs Joseph Low The list proved
so interesting that the Public
Library will include it in an exhibit
of books on postwar conditions
which will open September 10. The
library, by the way, also will circu-
late a broadside of the National
League of Women Voters entitled
Whose Foreign Policy?"
Wide Audience Seen.
The first unit meetings were held
July %, but no date has been set for
the close Of the campaign because
it is hoped the drive can be con-
tinued indefinitely.
Because of the nature of the
undertaking, leaders find it difficult
to appraise it's value in statistical
terms. They point out, however,
that there are more than 450 men,
bers in the Voteless District League
of Women Voters and that If each
talked to one person a day, more
than $4,000 could be reached in two
months.
With other leagues throughout
the United States carrying out a
similar program, it is estimated that
100000 persons could be reached
in two months.

commented, could turn the balance

If you're riding on bus and sud-
denly find yourself talking about
postwar planning to an intelligent
looking woman you never have seen
before, it may be purely a coinci-
dence. Such casual conversations
occur hundreds of times a day in
Washington.
On the other hand, it's possible
that your friendly bus-riding COM
panion is member of the Voteless
District League of Women Voters.
For the past few weeks league
members have been putting into
practice a theory that casual talk
among friends or strangers can have
a lot to do with forming public
opinion.
To make such conversation lead
to postwar planning is an assign
ment given to each alnember in a
league campaign to help create
public opinion which will be favor
able to the collaboration of the
United States in postwar organiza-
tio1."
The league indorses no specific
plan Of postwar collaboration, but
it stresses the Importance of Stimu-
lating a feeling of individual re-
sponsibility for the Governments
foreign policy and of helping to Gre
ate as wide an interest as possible
in the problems, policies and news
of the times.
Talk a Day Assigned.
Each member has been requested
to make it a definite task to have
one conversation day on the sub
ject.
AS the program was launched, a
bulletin urged the women to talk
to your friends, casual acquain-
tances, strangers, young and old,
professional people, workers, house
wives-in short-any one you can
draw into conversation on the
postwar world and the part the
United States will play in it,
A member following instructions
never allows her conversation to be-
come an argument. Nor is she ex-
pected to take the position that she
knows all the answers. In fact, if
her technique is good, she probably
will ask more questions than the
person with whom she's talking.
THE one thing we emphasize"
explained the president, Mrs. Eu-
gene Duffield, "is the urgency of be-
ginning to think now in terms of
our participation in postwar organ
ization.
II think President Roosevelt
summed up the idea in his speech
Wednesday night when he predict
ed that after this war our main
emotion will be one of grim deter
mination that this shall not happen
again."

The Hagerstown globe., 1943-02-05

Washington, D. c., February s.
Liquor rationing may put crimp
in traditional drinking habits in
Maryland, but the states teetotaler
governor, Herbert O'Conor, isn't
likely to take any measured steps
to join the movement.
A lot of people whose very social
life includes well-mannered imbib-
ing have often held it against non
smoking, non-drinking O'Conor for
his total abstinence. But they
never have been able to complain
that he has tried to force his dry
behavior down their wet throats.
And Herby is now running true
to form. His own-appointed state
liquor commission is recommend
ing some laws which may veer on
the blue" side. The commission
has recommended to the Legisla-
ture, among other things, restrict
ed hours for the sale of alcoholic
beverages but the governor has dis
Creetly refrained from indicating
his approval
Perhaps, one good and very po-
little reason is that the labor forces
headed by Sidney katz of the CIO
beat the commission TO the punch
$50 to speak, by opposing any and
all restrictions on the rights of
citizens to buy liquor after certain
hours or only in certain places.
The commission, headed by VIM.
R. McClaytOn, of Baltimore, has
recommended to the Annapolis
lawmakers that they shorten the
drinking hours so as to prvoide for
tavern closings on week nights not
later than 100 A NJ, and that
no sales be permitted on Sundays
between 100 A. M. and 200 P.
NJ. On the side of package sales,
the commission has recommended
that all stores dispensing same be
closed at 800 P. NJ. each night in

MRS. BYRON TO ALASKA

When people get good and mad
even as Rubber Car William JEFF
fers did in Baltimore recently
they don't stop always to consider
whom they may embarrass or
whether the censorious Office of
War Information will approve the
slings and arrows of their outraged
feelings.
For instance, there are many
around Washington right now who
are wondering whether Ex-Con-
gresswoman Katherine Byron will
let out mighty scream against
certain bureaucrats who have been
blocking a good job for her with
the administrator. Katherine might
for instance, tell about the promise
made to her when she withdrew
from the Democratic nominations
last summer in favor of Brooke
Lee.
What has Katherine a bit burned
up right now is the job that was
recently offered her by OPA Off
cials, A Washington ''sassiety"
cOlumnist reported Katherine was
to receive $4,000 but this is far,
far from the truth. Real truth is
that La Belle Byron was told by
certain Democratic administration
officials to go over to OPA and
she probably would find an inter-
esting proposition awaiting her
$500 job in the OPA field service
there. But this was the offer-a
requiring her to go either to Puerto
Rico or to Alaskai

This and That: Auto chain
sales scared this week, the first
since Old Man Winter charged
in on US. Speaking of snow,
the City Administration ran
true to form and the streets were
left in a mess, with little or nc
effort made to give the citizens
relief. - The War Manpower
Commission is making headway
toward forming local board,
so you can expect an announce
ment very, very soon; those who
want to change jobs because
they can make overtime else
where, are due for disappoint-
ments, I'm told. - Former WPA
workers are making the rounds
of employment offices trying to
get Jobs in private industry
Brain trusters in Washington es-
timated at the first of the year
that approximately 100000 small
businesses would fold in 1943;
in many communities. this pre-
diction has come true, but for
some reason or another, Hagers-
town is still plugging along, with
few concerns giving up the ghost.
Another large Government
contract will be given a Ha-
qerstown concern within a few
days. - Believe it or not, jobs
are not as easy to get here as
has been the case in past months.
However, the draft is still TAX
ing many away and this means
requirements. - 1943 looks like
a bad year for fishermen, what
with this gas and tire rationing
and the danger Of being "hooked"
for using cars for that purpose.
A local man has received let
ter from a nephew, who has just
been removed to base hospital
after mixing it with Jap Zeros;
his flight knocked down II Jap
planes, and he came back to the
air-fieId shot up; reading this
letter is like taking a flight with
the author. If you think you
have troubles, you should be in
the restaurant business. - A
number of GOPites, new in office,
are spending much time in an at
tempt to "get something" on a
former Democratic appointee;
to date they have been terrifical-
Iy disappointed, not to mention
the fact that taxpayers are be-
coming disgusted with their
childish methods; the tax-pay-
ers feel there is more important
work for them to do than waste
time in an attempt to promote a
"smear" campaign. - Voters
are now trying to figure out the
purpose of a recentIystaged tes-
timonial dinner; perhaps it was
lust another one of those things
without sense or reason.-This

REGISTRATION OF
WORKERS INCREASE
RESULT VINO EDICT
Non Essential JOb-HOld-
ers Preparing to Enter
Local War Plants

War Manpower Commissioner
McNutt's announcement of several
days ago that those working in
non-essential industry will be sub
ject to the draft, regardless of their
martial status unless they trans
fer to jobs directly contributing to
the war effort, is having some eff
feet in HagerstOwn.
Since the announcement scores
of men between the ages of 18 and
3S inclusive. have applied for reg
istration at the United States En-
ployment Service, As East Wash
ington street, and, according to EN-
ployment Service officers, more
are expected to register as the
closing date, April l, draws near.
That there may be some difficult
ty in obtaining essential jobs in
HagerstOWn two months hence, was
the opinion expressed by persons
we'll versed with labor problems in
this city Reason for this opinion
is that quite a few local Industries
have already reached their maxi
mum labor capacity, and are now
employing only comparatively
small number of requirements.
However. this situation may mean,
indirectly. the awarding of addi-
tional contracts to local industries
as the government has recently
adopted policy of placing con-
tracts in those areas where there
is no scarcity of labor for war in
dustries. Should the number be
applicants applying to the Employ
ment Service for war work, ex-
ceed the demand. it is assumed
that this particular area would
again be reclassified by the War
Production Board. At the present
Hagerstown is in Grade II.
The list Of non-essential jobs re-
leased by the War Manpower Com
mission is expected to increase
rapidly, and more men, now engag-
ed in non-essential activities will,
without question, be brought into
the war labor market.
The organization of a War Man
power Committee for this area is
expected to be completed within
week, and the activities Of this
group will further the war effort
here in that regulations to be in
stituted by this committee will
eliminate, to a great extent, the
loss of man hours resulting from
"absenteeism" and the frequent
changing of jobs.
All men subject to the draft as
result of the War Manpower
Commissions edict are urged to
register at the Employment Serv-
ice at once. Those not subject to
the new regulations are likewise
requested to register as the EN-
ployment Service will make every
effort to place these men and wO-
men in jobs vacated by the Is to 80
year-old group. In the opinion Of
the u. S. E. S., there is sufficient
labor here to meet present de-
mands, provided women, who have
! heretofore, never worked in the
plants, will enter the labor market
and do their share on the produc-
| ton lines.
