Now that we are concluding the
noble business OF extinguishing the
enemy. there comes to mind many
. sharp postwar problem TO be
solved.
Among the sharpest OF :he prob
lens ia: what is 10 be done about
the women in the armed services?
How long will we hold them In uni
form? How long will they keep-a-
wandering far from the old home
place?
Several hundred thousand enei
getic, patriotic girls and older sis
tiers responded to calls for aid from
the overtaxed Army and Navy and
Marine Corps. Now he same kind
of help is no longer needed.
II would seem that the first step
In cutting down the size OF the mill
tary would be to release most OF
the women volunteers. Undoubted
~ the women have done a superb
job. They have proved themselves
capable of doing hard work, work
more often dull and tedious than
interesting and specialized.
They have responded 10 disci-

lieve that it will not be necessary

Whether these fine, independent
women will want to return TO the
sort OF unglamorous lives some OF
them left behind is another prob
lem. | should guess that most OF
them will hurry back to civilian life
to get themselves settled in the
normal feminine routine-hus-
bands, home and babies.
The sooner the women and the
men, too, who were Called into

out OF uniform the more quickly the

Says Petain
Should Die!

PARIS, April 26-R-Andre
Mornet, procureur Of the high
court who will prosecute Mar
shall Petain on charges of trea-
son, said today "Petain deserves
death for his politics" but he
would ask clemency for the aged
military leader.
Declaring that he intended to
demand the death penalty at the
trial, Mornet said that in his
summary before a jury, how
ever, he would ask for clemency
on the grounds of humanity.
Petain is 80 years old.
'The politics personified by
this man deserve the verdict Of
DEATH" he told the Associated
Press in an interview. But as to
the execution verdict. think he
has reached an age where con-
siderations of humanity should
prevail"

Petain would ask Adm. William
D. Leahy, former U. S. Ambas-
sador to Vichy, to return to
France to testify in his behalf.

Meat Rations
Are SIashed
Nay Quotes Cut
by y. S. Ediet

WASHINGTON, April Is -
R1- Civilians will get even
less meat next month - and
they'll have to give up red
points, for all kinds except NUT
ton.
In addition, margarine and
most cheeses will cost more
points, as will some meats.
Announcing new point values
today, OPA estimated that 99h
per cent of the available meat
supply will require ration points.
This compares with 94hs per
cent now.
The action leaves only about
100000 pounds of mutton on a
point-free basis.
IA PER CENT CUT
On a weekly basis, the total
supply of all meats available
for civilians during the May ra-
tioning period beginning Sunday
and ending June 2 will be about
2a per cent less than at pres
ent.
OPA predicted supplies of
veal, lamb, mutton and pork
will be a shade larger but said
