Observations
Slave Workers in
Germany Worry to
Their Conquerors
BY HELEN EssARY

Military circles are not discount
ing the potential effectiveness OF
mass movement OF Hitlers en-.
shaved 10 million peoples inside
Germany-despite the Gestapo's
tight grip, supervised by Heinrich
Himmler, over the entire Third
Reich.
Some observers believe that two
recent events in Germany were
aimed directly at possible rebellion
by Hitler's hostages. These were
Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler's
appearance in place OF Hitler, and
tho creation of the nationwide
Nolksturm peoples army.
With the Gestapo firmly en-.
trenched, it is believed the Nolk.
sturm-whose members We're order
ed to shoulder weapons assigned
TO them for defense OF the home
land-may be used 10 quell any
disturbance by the huge alien force
now held captive inside Germany.
Allied military commanders are
non-committal on the subject, but
some quarters recall Gen. Dwight
ID. Eisenhower's instructions to the
French underground to await the
message to rise against the Na2l
foe.
The French situation leads some
military experts 10 wonder just
what plans are under way to utilize
the labor prison population in Ger
many now that the Allied big push
on Berlin is under way.
A KNOCK.DOWN, DRAG OUT
FIGHT is looming between WA
and OPA on butter-one of the
more short of the shortage food
items.
WA wants higher ceilings on
butter which, the agency says. will
increase production.
But OPA, holding firm to its hold
the-line program. suggests that
WA instead make wider use Of
subsidies.
Outcome of the controversy may
result in WA seeking wider read
justment of prices on dairy pro-
ducts other than butter-in this
way attempting to bring all dairy
products into closer price relation
ship.
AMID THE BLOODIEST WAR
in history. another battle is taking
place which may determine in
many respects the bases for future
peace or hostilities. This is the
battle for postwar markets. When
American troops marched into
Paris, British members OF Parlia-
ment Immediately charged that
United States businessmen were
in the vanguard OF the French. vic
tory parade. linn lately after
wards, United States congressman
reversed the tables and said that
British tradesmen were stalking out
their own postwar claims.
HOPES OF THE WAR FOOD
ADMINISTRATION for more and
better beef in 1915 are fading. An
increase OF cattle to feedlots In
the Midwest has boosted prices OF
feeding cattle skyward; but despite
a favorable feed situation feedlot
operators are reluctant to meet the
price competition OF packer buyers.
WA now sees the prospect OF
much lighter beef production this
winter than they had anticipated
Which means that next year
civilians can expect not any more
and probably less good beef-than
they had in 1914.
IN SETTING THE NEW CROP
GOALS, WA Chief Marvin Jones
is making certain this country will
produce food at maximum rates in
1945. Crop goals call for plant
ing nearly 364 million acres-1Ol
per cent OF indicated acreage this
year.

Other Comparisons

There are practically no women
tonic strip artists, gag writers,
radio announcers or editorial writ
lrs.
women rarely get the hang of
mass comedy technique. Their
ideas lack punch and originality.
Their drawings lack briskness
dash and animation"
Women do not like 10 work for
women bosses.
Women competing with men at
heavy jobs:
The strength of the average
woman is little more than half
that of the average man.
Women are worse automobile
drivers than men. This is fact not
theory.
A woman will stay put longer
than a man on the average. For
instance-you tell woman "stand
there in that position" and she
does it longer than a man. This,
however, ! think, is true only If
she knows it is a contest. You tell
a woman to stand there until /
come back and don't remember to
add that there's q bet up on it, and
only the Lord in his infinite mercy
can tell what she will do.
Some TabOos Overcome
Woman in her demands for
equality with man has overcome
many taboos. DR.. Scheinfeld has
described a number of these as
they have existed and still obtain
in primitive tribes. She still, even
in the most civilized communities
faces certain taboos that are part
ly inherent and logical and newt
able. Some of these, as judged by
the standard of 80 years ago have
been disproved, for instance, the
idea that she must Of necessity abb
sent herself from work a certain
period of each monthly cycle. DR..
Scheinfeld says this is mostly psy-
Geological.
The inherent duties of child
bearing are less easily overcome.
The argument that among print
tive tribes the women work up to
the time Of child bearing and then
take an hour or so out and 90
back to work is simply untrue: the
primitive mother has on the aver
age harder time than the woman
Of civilization. The fact remains
and is fact that if the race is to
go on woman must take some time
out and her worldly career is con-
ditioned by that.

Words OF Wisdom

An avowal Of poverty is no dis
grace to any man; to make no
effort to escape it is indeed dis
graceful.-Thucydides.

There are no bakeries in Lib
eria; homemade bread is a house
hold staple.

Women More Moral

Women are more moral than
men. At least in a one year period
10000 men were sent To Federal
or State prisons or reformatories,
and 1900 women. In l94O-l4,00O
men committed suicide, 4,4O0
women.
AS to comparative intelligence,
you have to name the sphere of
operation.
In clerical work Of any kind
women are far and away superior
to men. Among group of high
school freshmen so per cent Of the
girls achieved scores of high rat
ing, achieved by Is per cent of the
boys. In general on such tests the
girls do 10 to 80 per cent better
than the boys.
On mechanical comprehension,
however, the boys and men far
outshine the women. Shown the
picture Of a machine and asked to
explain it 70 per cent of the men
do so correctly in a given time and
80 per cent of the women.
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1944-12-06

men or vice versa, why men have
dominated women, just how diff
ferent boys and girls are and such
like disputatious subjects. 1t goes
without saying that if you happen
to be either a man or a woman it
is interesting.
"No fact about you is more inn
portant than your SEX" is the way
it starts out. Most of US have prob
ably wondered what kind of peo-
pie we would have been if we had
been of the opposite sex.
Women live longer than men. A
white infant at birth in 1912 could
look forward to 6S years if a wom-
an, 63 years if a man.

questions of general interest
only, and then only through

Legion Of Decency Pledge
To Be Renewed Dec. 10

The annual renewal of the Legion
Of Decency pledge will take place
In Catholic churches throughout the
country Sunday, December 10, 1t wa.
announced today. The thousands
of persons attending masses that
day will repeat after their pastor,
a pledge not to patronize movies
condemned by the legion as "objec-
tionable."
OF the 429 Aims reviewed last year
an announcement from the National
Catholic Welfare Conference de-
clared, three were condemned out
right. Fifty-one were termed lob.
jectional in part" Only 19l were
considered fit for both children and
adults to see. There was q slight
decline this year in class Al" pic
lures and an increase In pictures
showing something Objectionable
the NCWC said.
The date for the pledge was fixed
by the Bishops Committee on Mo-
ton Pictures, meeting at the confer
ence headquarters at 1912 Massachu-
sets avenue NV. yesterday. Bishop

House Group 10 Pres!
Uphill Fight Monday
For Voice in Peace
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A congressional group set out to-
day on an uphill fight: To win for
the House of Representatives q voice
in making the coming peace.
Representative Walter, Democrat,
Of Pennsylvania, called a meeting
of House Judiciary subcommittee
for Monday to consider q consti-
tutional amendment making future
treaties subject to ratifica ton by a
simple majority vote in both
branches of Congress.
He told reporters he was certain
the resolution would be approved
and expressed confidence it would
get through the Senate In time 70
be submitted to State Legislatures
for ratification early next year.
Other members expressed the pri-
vate belief, however, that the
amendment is headed for trouble
in the Senate, even should it win
House approval. Treaties must be
ratified by a two-thirds vote OF
the Senate and the House doesn' I
have a thing to say about it.
The original reason for the Sen
ate two-thirds rule long ago passed
out Of existence" Mr.. Walter said
The only reason q resolution to
bring treaties to the House hasn't
passed before is because Of . feeling
Of futility. Members felt the Sen
ate would kill 1t 30 they never tried
But there is q considerable senti-
ment now to try it this session and
see what the attitude is.'
Subcommittee members said they
wanted to get the amendment
through Congress before it adjourns
in December so that States can pass
on the proposal during their regular
legislative sessions next year. Forty
five State Legislatures meet in 1945
Three-fourths Of the States must
ratify q constitutional amendment
to make 1t operative.

Matches
Continued From First Page,

one could tell why, he said. 1t just
didn't get here.
Reason for the expected match
shortage is an order Of the War
Production Board about 10 days ago
which allotted the Army 80 per cent
Of the production Of penny safety
matches and Is per cent Of book
matches for the next six months.
WPB explained there would be an
ample supply" Of the big kitchen
matches ''for Ill essential needs, |"
but more practical dealers pointed
out the shortage probably would
extend to this type when smokers
begin filing their vest pockets and
purses with the big sticks.
An ofncial Of q large match distri-
buting company here said the whole
thing was puzzle to him.
Practically every soldier has 4
lighter" he said. The Army hasn't
needed any more matches until now.
/ don't understand what they need
them for now. A lot Of good lighters
have been manufactured for the
