Editor Urges Crusade
To Better Women sLot|

Harrison Smith, an associate edi-
tor Of the Saturday Review Of Lit
erature, today called for a mod
crate" crusade to better the position
Of women In modern society.
Mr.. Smith was moderator for a
panel discussion of the Shifting
Status Of Women" in the closing day
of a conference at the Departmental
Auditorium, sponsored by the
Women's Bureau Of the Labor De-
partment.s
The three-day session was due to
end this afternoon with q session
addressed by Undersecretary of
Labor David Morse. m.
Women control two-thirds of the
wealth of the Nation, Mr.. Smith de-
clared, but do not have a corre-
spondingly. important position in
community and national affairs. The
influence Is welded by the lawyers
and others who handle the wealth
for the women, he said.
If women ever should make up
t11CA A1A14Sso G41CJ WdAAt 4AV AlS1O VOL .
the speaker declared, they could
effect this very quiekly-by electing
the people who would work for
peace. If the women's clubs ever
really got together and voted as a
group, he asserted, not politician
in Washington could keep his hat
on"
Approximately $50 women from
women's organizations, State labor
departments and unions attended
the three-day conference on "The
American Woman, Her Changing
Role as Worker, Homemaker and
Citizen"
Another panel speaker was Miss
Pauline Newman of the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union, who said women are not as
sertive enough in unions.

The Federal Spotlight
(Continued From First Page }

Sunday-goes long way toward
removing this fear.
The legislation also calls for re-
moval of the $4,000 ceiling, some
thing which is badly needed. In
combining features of legislation
prepared by Senators Baldwin and
Flanders, the subcommittee pro-
vided for the following top-level
raises:
Cabinet officers, from the pres
ent $4,000 annual salary to $21,-
600; undersecretaries, $l7,5O0; as
sistant secretaries, $4,000; agency
heads, $4,000. And it would per-
NIT thousands of officials In the
SO 900 to $4,000 class who are not
in the agency head level to benefit
from the general 81 900 pay increase
provided in the bill.
Eventually the Senate may pro-
vide for some sort of a personnel
ceiling requirement to help "ab-
sorb" some OF the bills cost. The
cost estimate of the legislation is
81, 1859 1000.

SOLUTION-The Coast Guard
has come to the rescue OF the Army
in solving a dilemma that we re-
ported here yesterday.
We disclosed that brass hats at
the Pentagon couldn't figure out
what "costimers" were. "Costimers'
were listed on the supply list OF
an Army Department bureau which
Is being transferred to the Air De-
partment, and the fact that nobody
knew what "costimers" were was
delaying the transfer. /.
After reading the item 1t. Cenndr
g. G. Humphreys. stationed with the
Coast Guard here, teiephoned what
obviously must be the solution
fwnoeveT listed "costimers" mlst
have meant "costumers," which are
clothes or coat racks '
Shortly after Condr. Humphreys
called, Miss Pearl Tuttle Of the
Commerce Department telephoned
with the same solution. And so did
many other readers who didn't leave
their names.
Many thanks. We hope the Pen
tagon is properly grateful.

SAVING CHARLEY RussELLs WORN FOR MONTANA

There have been many attempts to record and report
Montana's history. Judging from the crltlscIsm OF Old
timers. most of these attempts have left much TO be decI
sired. There was one person who achieved the FAVOR OF
those who saw Montana when it was a pup, there was one
nerson whose works evoked the old-timers' praise OF that's
lust the way it was" tie was the outstanding Ieai-Ale
artist, Charles Russell. -
RussePs familiarity with his subject is reflected IN ms
work. 1t was not without reason that he was gwen the'
title of cowboy artist" He painted scenes with which
he was familiar and has left in his works a picture OF
Montana of his time that is far more accurate than words,
and certainly more interesting. Only a man who knew
the ways OF horses and COWBOYS couu portray Hell o'
Russell did. -.
At one time Russell went to Boston to study art, but
he left in disgust after only a short stay. He SAID ne dld
not mind learning from people that knew more tnan me-
but that he would not paint a coyote that looked ike no
thing he had ever seen. :,
Russell did Montana a great service when he preserved
the Montana of his day on canvas. Now an organization
known as the Charles Russell Memorial Committee, Inc,
is irving to perform another great service to Montana.
The committee seeks to make it possible for us to continue
to enjoy the works of Russells pen and brush by purchas-
ing the collection of his works which now resides at the
Mint in Great Falls. The present owners OF the collection
the east in order to give the committee time to raise funds
to purchase the collection and keep it in Montana. Ii the
committee can, through public subscription, make the pur--
chase, the entire collection will be moved to a permanent
residence in the capital building.
Sid Willis, president of the committee, reports that sub
stantial donations have come in from all parts OF Montana
and from many other states. "The Russell collection should
provide a tremendous attraction for MOntanans and tour
lists once it is on display at the capitol" -,

Great Exodus Is Moving North On Alaska Highway

To the motoriSt travelling north along the Alaska High way now, the road has all the appearance of one of the main travelled thoroughfares of the states, according to K n n h Hale of Cheyenne, Wyo., who only recently returned north that way.
 MT. Hale said automobiles are literally lining" the road north. Spring breakup is making traV- el difficult now, and nearly ev- cry garage and repair station along the way is filled to ca pacity with broken down ve- hicles.
 Clearance stations at Edmon- ton have proved incapable of handling the task without de lay, and many motorists are waiting there for their permit to cross Canada and come into Alaska.
 One of the most unfortunate aspects of the situation, as MT. Hale sees it, is that many of those coming to Alaska are still in search of an ''El Dorado" Most of them have cut all ties in the states, and are arriving here with little or no money on which to live. Almost all are counting on securing a well-paid job upon their arrival here, but only a few have any advance information on specific employ ment.
 MT. Hale, representative of Flora Engineering, was in the Valley about six months ago, when he sought office quarters for an Alaskan branch for his firm. The company has not yet established it's Alaskan head quarters.

 Although the official d i V e closed last Friday, most of the solicitors in the campaign asked permission to keep their mate rials in order to revisit some of the Valley homes which were unable to make a contribution within the drive dates. They said they had received many, many promises of bond purchases la ter in the spring.
