WOMEN WORKERS:
To Stay after War

Tasting well the fruits of boom
time employment, with many ad-
justing themselves to industry since
1941, seven out of ten women war
workers intend to stay at work after
hostilities cease, a survey by the
Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance company revealed.
Nearly two-thirds of the married
women and four-fifths Of the single
women declared their intention to
remain in industry, the survey
showed. Only 10 per cent planned
to return to housework, tn per cent
thought Of marriage, and 2 per cent
figured on gesuming schooling.

under supply of goods and overly
stuffed pocketbooks to set off dan
gerous inf1ationary cycle, War
Mobilization Director James F.
Byrnes declared.
Stating that figures of the bureau
Of labor statistics showed only an
increase OF Is per cent since Janu-
airy, 1941, Byrnes said that farm in
come rose 81 per cent and the aver
age weekly pay Of workers 81 per
cent during the same period.
'The sterilization program has
hurt neither the farmer nor the
worker" Byrnes asserted. 1.-THE
white collar workers and the people
with small fixed incomes have Jared
less well during the war, but the
only way to help them is to continue
to hold the line against imitation"
Seek Higher Wages
Even while Byrnes spoke, organ
lied labor pressed for revision Of
the government sterilization pro-
gram, urging that the formula for
limiting wage increases to is per
cent over January, 1941, levels be
junked.
In appearing before the War Labor
board, CLIO Chieftain Philip Murray
argued that public members of
WLB panel had found living costs in
creased almost 30 per cent since
January, 1941, rather than Is per
cent as claimed by the bureau of
labor statistics.
Declaring that both labor and
management were entitled to a
quick settlement of the wage ques-
ton so as to be able to solve i'm
mediate and ireconversion problems,
Murray called upon the WLB to
recommend changes in government
wage policies to President Roosevelt
by October Is.
ALL leaders joined the CLIO in the
assault upon present wage stabili-
cation.

Jap Resistance

With Japan possessing many stra-

and Korea enabling her to increase
war production; with the country ca
pable of putting 5000, 900 men in the

lines stretched, U. S. victory in the
Pacific may require from III to 2
years after Germany's defeat, the
Office of War Information said.
To Americas advantage in press

Far from shaking the Japs' fervor,

fitting services conducted in Water

her rights to independence, liberty
and self enterprise would again be
restored in full through Divine
providence and with the aid Of
Americas armed might.

therefore appeal for a reconsidera-
ton Of the decision to cancel the

It Is also necessary to point out
that II the announced policy should
be put into effect, 1t would result
In an unjust and intolerable dis
elimination against one religious
group as compared with another. In
keeping with the official interpre-
tation Of the 6elective Service Act,
Roman Catholic students for the
priesthood may be exempt from the
draft when they are in junior SEM
inaries-that Is, when they are stu
dents on the college level. As q re-
suit, Roman Catholic students for
the priesthood would not be af-
fected by the new ruling. Protestant
students for the ministry, however,

al preparation as Catholic students
would not be permitted to con-
tinue their training. The supply Of
future ministers for the Protestant
churches would be wholly cut off,
while the supply for the Roman
Catholic priesthood would not be
affected at all.
We respectfully but firmly sub
init that any program affecting stu
dents preparing for the ministry
must bear equally upon Catholic
and Protestant and Jew. It Is con-
trary to the fundamental American
tradition Of equality for all reli-
gious groups before the law that
provisions should be set UP which
result in placing one important re.

at the same time maintaining their
ministry to the civilian population,
the statement indicates that the
churches cannot meet this double
responsibility II the government
makes It impossible for them to
continue to train students for the
ministry.
The full text Of the Protestant
appeal follows:
The special provision Of the Be-
lective Service Act. as enacted In
1910, for the deferment Of "stu-
dents who are preparing for the
ministry In theological or divinity
schools" was presumably based
upon the conviction that the eHec-
tive functioning Of the agencies Of
religion Is essential to the national
welfare.
The recently announced change
In policy, whereby students pre-
pasing Tor the ministry will no
longer be granted deferment unless
they have begun their studies In
theological schools prior to July !,
1914, presents grave obstacle to
the Protestant churches in their
EFFORT to render the service expect
ed Of them In the national crisis.
More than 5000 Of their younger
ministers are serving as chaplains
In the Army and Navy and a steady
stream Of additional men for the
chaplaincy Is required by the arm

churches are required to strengthen
their ministry to the civilian popu-
lation because Of the extraordinary
community services which they are
called upon to provide and the
special strains which press upon
the people in wartime.
