Mrs. THIett Sees
Women V0ting
|FOrDemOcrats

Women are going to vote the
Democratic ticket in this years
elections" declared Mrs. Charles w
Tillett, vice chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, in a
statement this week before the Exc
cutive Committee of the Democratic
Committee.
AS a result of recent extensive
travels throughout the country, Mrs.
Tillett stated she felt sure" that
women who formerly voted the
Republican ticket will vote for
Democratic members of Congress
on November S.
They are convinced" she said.
''by the voting records of the Repub-
licans in the Seventy-ninth Congress
that the legislative branch of our
Government cannot be entrusted to
the reactionary party that puts the
rights OF property against those of
human rights, that wants privileges
for the few rather than the pros
perity and we'll being of the many
Women are realists," the COM
mittee vice chairman added, land
they know that peace is the most
important thing in the world
They know too, she stressed, chat
a Democratic President and q
Democratic Congress can do more
toward creating national and inter-
national atmosphere in which peace
and security can thrive than a
Democratic President and a Repub-
lican Congress"
Mrs. Tillett further emphasized
that on the domestic side. women
are going to cast their ballots this
fall for men and women who will
support the United Nations in ac-
ton as we'll as word, who will vote
for measures that will insure wages
and living standards will not be
lowered, and who will put through
legislation that will mean better
housing for Americans in the future.
The vice chairman again repeated
her belief that women are going to
vote Democratic this year, because
the Democratic party has recog-
nized women's power and their
effectiveness in Government by
nominating 10 women to run on the
Democratic ticket whereas the
Republicans are running only four
women for the House"

Elnanciers Gather at Wardman Park
Snyders Give Gay Reception
For Monetary Delegates Here
BY Betty Beale

The financial brains of the world
had cocktails together yesterday
afternoon in the Continental Room
of Wardman Park Hotel, and any
one having trouble balancing his
check book should have wandered
inadvertently in there between the
hours of $50 and 7:30 o'clock. The
gentlemen who represent the wealth
OF 80 nations, here for the first an
nual meeting of the International
Bank for Reconstruction and De-
velopment and the International
Monetary Fund, were being enter
tanned by the Secretary of the
Treasury and Mrs. John Snyder,
In the formers capacity as chair
man of the boards of governors
of the two institutions.
-Four prominent official couples
stood in the receiving line to greet
the 300 or more guests present
Standing next to Secretary and
Mrs. Snyder in the following order
were the Chief Justice of the
United States, Mr.. Fred M. Vinson,
who was host at the Monetary
Conference in Savannah; Mrs. Vim
son; the alternate governor of the
bank and fund. Mr.. William L.
Clayton; Mrs Clayton, and the pres
ident of the Export Import Bank,
MIR. William McChesney Martin, jr.,
and Mrs. Martin. Every one was
especially pleased to see the Chief
Justice and his wife, who have been
missed at parties for several weeks
because of Mrs. Wilson's recent
illness.
The heads of the two interna-
tional monetary organizations were
there with their wives. Mr.. Eu-
gene Meyer, president of the In
ternational Bank for Reconstruc-
ton and Development, which, to
the uninitiated is the same thing
as the World Bank, and Mr.. Ca
mile Quit pronounced Goot) |
director of the fund. The
latter and his wife, Washington resi-
dents for the next five years, are an
interesting couple. Mr.. Quit, who
will be host at cocktails this after
noon, one observer remarked, is
the man responsible for getting
finances in order. Mrs.
Quit did Red Cross work in Bel
gium under the eagle eye of the
Germans during the entire war |
and, while she can't understand |
why, she was never put in prison,
though she was brought before the
Gestapo twice.
