New Manpower
Rules Expected
To Have Effect

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(SNS)-
Demand by employers for women
workers both in war production
and in civilian service occupations
are expected to increase unccr the
new system of priority referral OF
male labor, the War ManpoWer
Commission reported today to the
Office of War Information.
Employment ceilings, establish
ing the level of total employment
or of specified types of employees
that a concern is not permitted to
exceed, will be fixed in 1874 labor
shortage areas designated as
Groups | and II in VINO hstings.
These ceilings would automatically
check the number of men which
firm could hire, but would not pre-
vent employers in many cases from
increasing their ranks by hiring
women.
AS men move out of less essen
tial employment and are channel
ed by the new referral plan into
essential work, the VINO foreSeeS
increased calls for women to re-
place men in countless occupations

duty are cautioned by the War De-
partment that this payment may
have to last from five to eight
weeks.
Under the Servicemen's Deepen
dents Allowance Act of 1912 as
amended, the regular monthly
family allowance payments are not
due until after the end of the
month following the one in which
the soldier entered service and
applied for this benefit.
LAPSE MAY OCCUR
Thus, if a soldier enters early
in June and applies for family
allowance within IS days his wife
or other eligible dependents may
receive an initial" payment in
June. It will be in the amount
Of one full months family allow
ante authorized by law for the
dependents involved. After that,
the first regular payment will be
due early in August. No payment
will be made in July.
Time lapa1 between the Initial
payment and first regular month
ly payment may be shorter If the
soldier enters late in the month.
For example, if a soldier enters on
June "a and applies Immediately

More than one girl has donned
her war paint and trotted in a
state of pleasant excitement to
the studio, only to be told that
she must wash her face. The
photographer doesn't make the
request quite that crudely, but
it comes down to the same thing.
What the camera catches in a
wink is clearer than what the
human eye beholds at casual
glance.
LET DAY PASS
Don't have your hair set the
same day; get the grand hair-do
the day before, so that the stiff
look will have evaporated. Your
looks will appear clean, shining
and soft. Better have your eye
brows groomed, stray hairs
tweezed away.
Use powder lightly and omit
applications with the rouge pad.
Rouge casts a shadow; your por-
trait will not then carry the
HOl Illdl CUHCOut OF appearance.
Use the lipstick deity, forming
a clear-cut outline. Just before
posing, moisten the lips so they
will look soft, not heavy. A touch
of mascara on the eyelashes and
a bit of mineral oil on the eye
brows will help along the good
work.
If your eyebrows are thin and
shrunken - due to your being
overzealous with the tweezers, it
may be a good idea to broaden
them slightly with the crayon,
There won't be such a bald ex-
panse of forehead between eyes
and pompadour, and natural eye
brows are the order of the day
rather than fine lines.
A touch of blue eye-shadow
can be used if one wishes. but
this is hardly necessary if the
is young and lovely.
Some photographers touch the
lids with brown grease paint to
bring out the charm and express
sion of the eyes.
DON'T WEAR HAT
Don't wear a hat. Hats are

quickly dated and, anyhow, it is
you that the boy friend wants
to see, not your latest chapeau.
Also, he may treasure that pic
ture for years after the war is
over and you are married to him,
and he'll have something cute to
say no doubt, about your crazy
bonnet. -
Wear the kind of clothes in
which you are completely at
ease, no "all-dressed-up" sartor
ial glory. If a sweater and skirt
are your type, wear them. Jew
elry and other decorations do
not add to the ensemble; they
detract from appearance, as a
rule.
Insist upon a comfortable pose.
If you feel stiff and rigid, you'll
get a photograph that will be
a craven image of yourself; even
your mother won't recognize it.
Most important of all, have a
good nights sleep before the
big day. It your rested you will
be relaxed and radiant.

not directly connected with the war
effort. For example, women may be
more and more in demand as
workers in candy manufacturing
plants, in department stores as
floor managers and window-dreSs-
ers, as clerks in drug stores and
similar occupations.
How to accelerate the recruit
nrnt of women who will be need
ed will be one of the problems be-
fore the next meeting of the Wom-
ems Advisory Committee to the
War ManpoWer Commission, in
Washington on June IA. Margaret

or before July /. First regular
monthly payment may be expect
ed by his family early in August
or within a minimum of four
weeks time.
DON'T GET ANXIOUS
So, if a soldiers wife whose
husband goes to camp early this
month must wait longer between
those first two checks than an
other wife whose husband left the
last part of the month, she must
not feel that something has gone
wrong If required evidence was
submitted with the application
and the case is in order, it will be
processed and payment will be
made promptly by the ODB.
No application filed by a soldier
still in this country is authorized
for payment until this evidence
has been received by the ODB.
Each document should be clearly
MARKED with the soldiers name

I'VE therefore pledge ourselves
to mutual support and such Joint

these principles, and further
pledge ourselves actively to op-
pose any practices, organizations

CLIO. APPEAL
 GOES TO BOSTON
Walkinshaw Reveals WLB
 to Review ScOvill Walk out Situation

The recent appeal made by the C.IO. Scovill Brass Workers union relative to the decision by the Scovill Mfg. CO, not to reinstate some 50 or more men who recently staged an unauthorized walkout, and made to the War Labor Board in Wash ington has been passed by the ap- peals committee and forwarded to the regional VILE at Boston.
 Robert L. Walkinshaw of the C.1.O. today announced that he had re- cieved such information from Wash ington representatives of the union who told him that the appeal was to be given full consideration soon by the Boston WLB.
 The appeal resulted from the con- panys refusal to reinstate the men involved in the walkout after the state mediation and arbitration board though Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin requested that company of- ficials reconsider the matter and re- instate the more than 50 men with full seniority rights. The company has maintained that the men "have quit their jobs" and have offered to consider applications of any of these men as new workers. This the union has refused to acknowl- edge contending that the men would lose all seniority rights by such pro- cedure.

Alimony and support payments made to Mrs. Sigrid Hansen Pickett of Waterbury by Randolph c.

 Provision was made by the court for payment of SIP weekly for the support of a child to Helen L. Crow ley, who is being sued for divorce by Thomas J. Crowley. An allow ance of $50 to defend the divorce action also was granted by the court to the woman.
 Decision was reserved by the jur- ist on a motion of the defense to in- troduce newly discovered evidence into a civil action brought by Jo- seph Bashinsky ct al against John Licknikas ct al. A claim was made that one of the plaintiffs sustained a broken leg sometime ago and the fact was not mentioned when the case was heard several weeks ago.

Labor Problems Hold Up
 Mill Street Plant Sale
Continuance of Receivership for Months Granted;
 Atty Finkestein Praised for Work

Uncertainty of labor is the only consideration which is preventing the Watertown Undergarment Cor poration from purchasing premises of the Industrial Properties, Inc. at SIS Mil street, 1t was declared in superior court today before Judge Edward J. Quinlan by Attorney Herman A. Weisman, counsel for the corporation.
 The remarks were, made when the receiver, Attorney Alfred L. Finklestein, appeared to ask for permission to continue business for another four-month period, and the court inquired whether or not still another continuance would be sought in the future.
 Attorney Weisman stated the Wa tertown Undergarment concern, which holds an option to purchase the premises for $74,000 by May 1, 1945, has 500 machines in the build ing and heavy expense would be in- volved in moving them. He said that if the war were to end this summer the sale might be transact ed within @ few weeks, but because of the uncertainty of the situa- ton, the concern does not want to jump into anything, as long as the option gives 1t until next May to take action.
 It was pointed out that the con- cern formerly employed 750 per- sons, but now has only 250 because of the war situation. He said that if the company continues to exist there is every indication it will ex- ercise the option to purchase the premises.
 The property in question is the last major holding of the Industrial Properties, and termination of the receivership depends upon its dis- position.
 Attorney Finklestein said today that the climax of the receivership has already been reached, and that he does not expect to have to ask for many more continuances.
 Permission for the requested four month continuance, starting June 16, was granted by the judge, but decision on a request for compensa- tion by the receiver was reserved
 Attorney Finklestein pointed out that since the fall of 194l he has re- ceived $2,000 semi-annually for his services as receiver and legal rep resentative of the concern. He re- viewed the work of the past half year. pointing out that two major sales, one for $60,000 and the other for $30,000 were made, and that no brokerage commission was in- volved. He said he negotiated the sales personally and that if a real estate commission of five per cent had been involved the concern would have had to pay $4,500. The re- ceivership took in $27.395 in the past six months, and $82,000 was paid in taxes and interest to the
