gratitude TO women. When il
was finally realized that women
must be employed-many with
no i n d u strial experience -
policies were completely over
hauled and greatly improved
methods of utilizing labor were
instituted.
Careful methods of selection,
induction and training were de-
veloped. Standards of super
vision were raised.
IT h csc improved methods

in the readjustment TO peace

or women are to be employed.
IF fairly applied, women
should find no occupations
closed to them that they have
demonstrated their special fit
ness TO perform.
The bureau expresses this
opinion:
Women lmost exclusively
would be employed for many
more types of work than now if
employers would start from the
beginning to build up their work
forces, putting aside tradition
and selecting by tests for each
job the person best suited for
the work.
Increased poroduction som
The placement of the right per-
son on each process undoubted-
ly would lessen labor costs.
In other words: Many times a
woman in peacetime would be
given a job ahead of a man il
choosing person for the JOB
was based on ability instead OF
old pre-war ideas about hiring
women.

Where do women go for jobs
after the war?
Servicemen, with a claim on
many jobs now held by women,
will be coming back.
Women in war jobs but with
husbands coming out of the

Older women, working only
for the duration, will retire.
But where do the women 60

3-U.D - Retreating Germans

horror spot by killing at least 81
innocent men and women in re-
prisal for harrassment by Italian
patriots.
I talked to stunned residents
yesterday. They told me how
eight partisans were shot first,
then how AZ men hostages wero
seized and executed under a
spreading chestnut tree as their
helpless families watched. Six
other Italians were shot in their
homes or fields.
Witnesses said the eight parti-
sans were buried in one grave
and the hostages in another. In
dicating the widespread terror
ism the Germans may be start
ing in Italy, the executioners
even shot a dog and tossed it on
the bodies in graves the victims
were forced to dig for them
selves before the machine guns
spoke tehir doom. &.
There were reports the Ger
mans also had carried out exc
cutions in nearby towns.
One half-dazed man who had
come from the efnbattled town
of Reparbella told Allied mill
tary government officer Maj.
Carl Kat of Red Bank, N. j.
that the Germans had killed
eight members of his family. He
said perhaps as many as "a 9TH

particans, said he had 80 men
lying in ambush as the Germans
Wando Celia, leader of the
partisans, said he had 80 men
lying in ambush as the Germans
approached Thursday. He said
they killed eight or nine Ger
mans but that they were over
whelmed by machine gun and
mortar fire and eight of their
men were captured,
Another partisan said the Ger
mans, apparently angered by the
resistance, Immediately began
smashing into farm houses. He
said he saw eight Germans walk
up to an Italian who just had
started working in his wheat
field and all of them turned
their tommy guns on him.
Another partisan told me he
hid in a thicket and saw the
Germans execute the Al host
ages after forcing them to dig
their own graves. Before the
executions he said the Germans
stripped the condemned of their
money and jewels and their
shoes, if they were good.
One witness said the order to
fire the machine guns was given
by a mono commissioned officer
whom he would recognize. He
said he also would be able TO
identify commissioned officers
who commanded the German
unit in this area. ...
American officers were press
ing an investigation on the basis
of his descriptions. They prsm-
ised that every effort would be
made to bring those responsible
to Justice.

Petain Reported in Reich
As Rumors Fly in Vichy
BY the Associated Press.

AT THE FRENCH FRONTIER
Aug. 15.-Heavily-armed guards In
streets and hotels kept watch today
over a turbulent and restless Vichy,
through which ran a series of I'M
confirmed rumors, including one
that Marshal Petain had gone to
Germany.
Whether Petain still was in Vichy
could not be stated by persons who
left there Sunday. At any rate, he
had not been seen. He was known
in the most reliable quarters to have
sent a note last week to Legations
of his capital" that he would not
leave willingly: If it should become
known that he had departed it can
be taken for granted that 1t was
against his will
Regardless of Petain, there was a
steadily intensified feeling of crisis
and confusion in Vichy, travellers
from there said. The report that a
Partisan army was marching to at
tack the capital was taken as highly
exaggerated. But the danger from
Partisan ambush attacks was said
to have increased.
Troops guarded all entrances to
the town. The streets of Vichy
were crowded with policemen, mill
tia and special police"

Military Leaders Lauded
For Long, Range Planning

American military leaders were
lauded for the success of their long
range planning by Maj. Gen. George
Richards, War Department budget
officer, yesterday in an address at a
luncheon meeting of the Washing
ton Building Congress.
The overall strategy must be
planned 18 months in advance, he
said. to obtain appropriations from
Congress covering the cost of sup
plies. Victories of American forces
on far-f1ung fronts under varying
unfavorable conditions have borne
witness to the efficiency of the gen.
eral staff's planning, Gen. Richards
said.
Gen. Richards spoke of the prob
lem of getting necessary materiel
for the armed forces. and how it was
necessary to schedule the raw mate
rails from which munitions are
manufactured from farm, mine and
forest to factory. Commanders
overseas also require funds for such
things as the cost of labor and ma
terial for rebuilding ports, railroads
and airfields. Thus, it was neces-
sary for the staff to plan far in
advance the building of the airf1elds
in China from which the super
B-29s took of on their first epochal
raid against Japan.
The thoroughness with which the
War Departments estimates for the
fiscal year 1945 were prepared was
attested to by the fact that the
Budget Bureau reduced them by less
than 4 per cent, and the Congress by
less than one-half Of per cent.
