HASTE and others
The bill for a permanent FEPC
has the wholehearted support of
many labor, religious, and liberal
organizations including the CLIO
and several AFL unions. Support
ers of the measure are alarmed by
the AFL's attitude.

c. flushing, legislative representa-

by the Executive Council of the
AFL at its 1913 convention.
This report opposed racial dis
elimination in employment, but

salutary, through compulsory gov

to realize how precarious the nurs-
ing situation is. This very day my
young grandson had to be taken
home after an operation G.mply be-
cause there were no nurses TO look
after him. His parents, both busy
through the day, were obliged to
stay with him at night, and in the
enc he had to be taken home so he
could be properly cared for.
I have a great many women ap-
plying to me for some method in
which to use their ability. Some of
them are graduate nurses who have
considered themselves beyond the
nursing age. This is no longer true,
and 1 advise them to get back into
uniform as rapidly as possible. This
is an immediate emergency. 1t has
none of the glamor of the young
women in foreign fields who are
doing their washing in their he'll
NETS, or flying the wounded home.
But it has glamor all its own, as
has all hospital Work-the peculiar
warmth which comes from easing
pain, and of feeling more than use
ful-of feeling essential.

Eight Arrested
On Gasoline
Black Mart Count

LOS ANGELES, Dec % up
Six men and two women were named
in a federal complaint charging con-
spiracy as the OPA announced
breaking up of a huge black market
gasoline coupon ring which may
have involved 100000 gallons or
mere.
Mrs. Lucille f. Weaver, a Balboa
bank teller, was arrested and re-
leased on her recognizance. 1t was
indicated she would be used as a
government witness.
Assistant U. S. Attorney Charles
E. Veale said head of the alleged
ring was Fred w Ruff, Los Angeles
service station operator, also named
in the complaint. Ruff would buy
from gas companies and give return
ration coupons calling for from 25,-
900 to $4,000 gallons of gasoline,
Veale said
"The checks would go through the
Los Angeles clearing house and be
sent to the Balboa bank he said.
Mrs. Weaver, instead of charging
the checks to Ruff's account, would
hold the checks out and destroy
them, leaving no record"
Names of the others involved
were not revealed as they are not
yet in custody.

Mrs. Roosevelt
Thinks Picture
Is Too Pretty
BY RUTH MILLETT

The First Lady is out of step
with the times. She is threatening
to take down and burn up a por-
trait of herself because it is too
pretty" That in a period when the
pin-up girl is the symbol of feminine
charm.
No living and breathing girl in
the world is as gorgeous a creature
as the pin-up portrait, which is the
achievement of a photographer who
can take a fairly pretty girl, the
right kind of cosmetics including
false eyelasheS that swoop, a brief
costume, flattering lights, and turn
out a picture that boosts morale
from France to New Guinea.
And it isn't just the models for
pin-up portraits who are demand
ing glamor from the camera these
days. Because of the keen compe-
tition from pin-ups, the sweet
hearts and wives of the men in
service are asking for glamor, too,
when they visit a photographer.
They ave posing in sweaters
and with flowers in their hair,
and they are rejecting proofs that
make them look like nice, capable
home bodies in favor of something
that doesn't look like them at all,
but is the kind of picture a man
would get kick out of showing his
buddies.
AGE OF GLAMOR
"Glamor it up" the girls are tell
ing photographers. Girls who go
around looking windblown have a
fit if a hair is out of place in a
photograph. And mothers of three
kids turn up their noses at pictures
of themselves that look any less
alluring than a photograph of a
movie star It's too matronly" they
tell the photographer who apparent
ly is never too tactless to say, But
you ARE matron, my dear"
And in this age of make it
luscious" photography along comes
the First Lady with a complaint
that a portrait of herself is too
pretty" I'll bet that if a photo
grapher ever heard that one he'd
drop dead. TOO DID," too serious, "
"too matronly," too grim" too
fat" too thin" But too pretty
never. There just isn't any such
picture in this pin-up age, Mrs
Roosevelt.
