He said women are ideally fitted
by temperament to handle the ex-
tremely fine details in precision
manufacture Of bearings, and
added:
Unlike most men, women have
infinite patience. They have un-
usual ability to perform tasks call
ing for finer dexterity and to work
under conditions of sustained con-
centration"
At Brown Instrument, q division
of Minneapolis Honeywell Regula-
tor Co., women accounted for
about II per cent Of total employ
ment in 1910, rs per cent at the
war peak and lS per cent today.
1.-THE ratio is going to continue
at that level or may even increase"
Mr.. Heitman said. Women are a
must for the assembling of ex-
tremely delicate parts and &C
curately adjusting instruments to
provide highly sensitive and re-
sponsive operations"
Before the war Kollsman Avia-
ton Instrument division of Square

women. Today they represent IS

pared with so per cent during the
war.
I'VE found women do exceptional
work in machine shops" said
Joseph Neiderhofer, Kollsman per-

binoculars. gunsights and drift
sights, for cleaning binocular cases
and looping electrical circuits.
Square D, electrical device manu-
facturer, increased the percentage
of woman workers from Al per cent
in 1910 to So per cent last year, but

One of the years most anticipa- ted motion pictures came to the Poli screen Wednesday with the showing of "Cndercugrent," CO., starring Katharine Hepburn and Robert Taylor for the first time.
 The guspensefol romance with a mystery background marks Miss Hepburn's first appearance on the screen since the highly successful without Love" and brings Taylor back before the cameras after his three years as a Navy flyer.
 The plot Of "Cndercurrent, |" based on an original story by Thelma Strabel, revolves about the marital breakup between Hepburn and Taylor when the latter be- comes jealous of his mysterious brother So suspenSeful has the plot been created that not until the very finish is the audience able to de- ternine the story's ending.
 Irene. noted M-G-M designer. has given Miss Hepburn the most extensive wardrobs she has ever worn for a picture, the star making S2 costume changes for her role as the wife of a millionaire indus trialist.

Mental Attitude May ReUeGL Age
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Actresses more than any other women, perhaps seem to be en- dowed with perennial youth. With them any relaxing into middle age may halt a career or cause a shift from ingenus to mature roles.
 And believe 1t or not. her cam paign against relaxing. an actress friend confided to me once. is not altogether focused on the battle Of fighting of Times attacks on tig- ure and face. She takes care of that. too. as most women do. But she considers just as important the strategy Of raSes to keep people from thinking about her age.
 First Of all. she doesn't talk about it-her own age or anyone else's. The moment a woman starts dis cuSsing age. says my friend, she in- vites speculation about her own.

But when that pubic servant @ White House in troubled times like the present. those very virtues may give rise to complications and confuslon
 Take for example, the desire to please mat was u doubtedly strong motive behind the aomnisSaCio ing of wartime controls of food materials and and wages almost as the shooting stopped And IL was a popular move with the people.
 But now we find ourselves sitting in the midst or plenty while Europe faces starvation. So for humanitarian as well as practical reasons must return to sort o ln formal food ratonng which might become formal uness there is wholehearted public cooperation

 In the matter of industrial controls, Mr. Truman must have pleased labor when he encouraged ther requests @ wage increases. He must have pleased industry 10 some extent removing the government dam from the ree HOW of materials.
 But now we find ourselves being nudged toward infa- ton by general rises which are forcing rise m
 We find ourselves short of various goods because price tol has taken into account all the facors that go "

 As for Mr. Trumans loyalty, find it illustrated Tn ms continued support of Edwin w.

Mr. Truman says his nominee IS an honest man and excellent administrator.
 Be that it may it is clear to almost everyone except Mr Truman that Mr. Paueys background big oil man does not fit him for the Navy job, and would conuemn m to constant suspicion
 Mr. Truman has acted everywhere with the best Of ln' tentions. No him of being devious or ma lcious. But it does that he is making wlshiu at tempt to launch of good will when the time isn't ripe and when the public servant in the White House needs be not only wise, but than little hard-boiled
