Women Irked
At Montgomery
BY RUTH MILLETT

Members of the American WACS
and the British ATS are burned up
over press agency report from the
headquarters of Field Marshal Sir
Bernard L. Montgomery that women
of the two services would be sent
into Germany MANLY to prevent
men of the two armies from fra
ternizing with German women"
The majority of the American
women in uniform went in because
they had been sold en- the idea that
by taking over routine jobs they
could relieve much-needed men for
combat. Many Of them are girls and
women with husbands, cons, BROTH
ers, fiances in service. Some of them
joined after loved che had given
his life.
Most of them took their training
period so seriously that they sur
rrised old-time army officers with
their enthusiasm. their willingness
to work, and their capability. And
once they were put in jobs they
did these jobs well.

PATRIOTISM WASTED

rather than as members of the
army, needed to perform respon-

If it is true, they have been

has been waited. If it is not true,
they have still been insulted-as
there are many people in the world
ready tc believe such a story-the
people WHO from the beginning
have been against Women's being
taken into the services.
