Head Tells Plans
For Polls Turnout
By Gretchen Smith.

Intensified efforts to bring more
voters to the polls during the COM
ing elections will be made by the
National League of Women Voters.
according to Miss Anna Lord
Strauss, newly elected president Of
the league, who arrived in WASH
ington three days ago to assume
her new duties at national head
quarters, 726 jackson place NV.
Discussing future policies of the
league in press conference yes
terday, Miss Strauss placed the
problems of absenteeism among the
most important domestic subjects
to be studied by league members
this year.
I'VE are concentrating specifically
on the coming political campaign"
she explained. "as never in the his
tory Of the Nation has there been
q greater need to have well quail
fed men and women in of1lce
than now"
She expressed the opinion that
there should be no discrimination
against women holding Govern
ment ONCE.
II believe the best qualified per-
son should hold the cabinet posts, :"
she replied in answer to query.
"Yes, I also think that women
should be represented at the peace
table-women have distinct con-
tribution to make
Curbing imitation through price
control, rationing and curtailing
purchasing power will continue to
be an objective of the women

pose Of those rules, she contended
Explaining previous experience in
this connection with employees work.
ing for United Aircraft at Stratford,
Conn, where she was employed In
the personnel division prior to her
election as league president, Miss
Strauss said: Frequently employees
at the plant would be resentful of
certain regulations: in fact, they
were belligerent at times. But when
the reasons for the rules were given
them and it was pointed out why
priorities or rationing was necessary,
they would get an entirely differ
ent point of view"
Miss Strauss predicted that fol-
lowing the war the League of Wom-
en- Voters will expand as there will
be a greater need for the organiza-
ton with more government than
exists today.
I'VE are bound to have more gov
ernment even than exists today"
she asserted. "The kind of govern
ment we have depends upon the
people. We want q government,
however, that will do the things we
need in the simplest way"
Shortly after assuming Office, Miss
Strauss forwarded a statement for
her organization to the House
Banking and Currency Committee
urging that a bill be proposed sup
porting the Price Control Act with
