Womanpower


What our country is shortest of
compared to the countries IN
which our enemies live-is man.
power. Our numbers are but drop
in the bucket compared to the
hordes of Russians and Chinese.
The new census shows there are
l50.697,0 900 u. S. Americans.
Z We have some friends, fortu-
nately, and that brings our num-
bers up. But our friends, for the
most part, must look to us for
equipment and supplies. That in
creases our production problem,
makes it much bigger than last
time. For those friends, with our
aid, are only now barely back on
their feet.
We have no reservoir of unem-
ployed in this country except about
37,000,O00 women. They are not
unemployed in the strict sense. It's
just that they are not in the labor
force. They are the manpower' re-
serves and the only people around
to be called upon as more men go
into the armed forces and as there
are more jobs to be filled. They
will be called upon.
Should They Work?
It's not question of should
these women take jobs, really. The
fact is that many of them will have
to take jobs if our country is to
survive. Women are needed in the
military services-many more than
are going in right now-but the
bulk of them will be needed for
home-front and production jobs.
What is the HomefrOnt?
The homefront is much bigger
than just production jobs. 1t is
morale, public opinion, civil de-
fense, shopping, caring for chill
dren, running the schools, serv-
ing hot meals, cleaning and patch
ing clothing, collecting and paying
taxes, taking up the garbage. It's
everything that makes our cOun-
try run efficiently and smoothly.
It's everything that lets the fight
ing forces know all is well back
home.
This time the homefront must be
the best run, the calmest and the
most efficient homefront we've
ever had. Anything which upsets it
will rock the whole defense boat.
By their sheer weight as numbers
women will be the mainstay of the
homefront. Being more than half
the adult population, they must do
their share Of the actual work and
shoulder much more of the share
for the work that's not done in fac
tories.
Public Opinion
General George Marshall says
it's women who can make or break
US on the public opinion front. I'm
less they have an understanding Of
the job to be done, have patience
and fortitude the overall job be-
comes almost impossible. Most wo-
men do possess these qualities, we
think, but when times are tense
and people age working hard, one
person can DO more damage--Or
good-than at other times. In a
democracy, always, the individual
counts. That's what democracy is.
What an individual does and how
he uses his freedom, however, be-
comes more important in times Of
stress.
General Marshall praises women
more than we've ever heard an
other public official do. He learned
during the last war, he says, that
you can put group of women rep
resenting different interests and
groups in a room, throw a problem
at them, and they will come to an
agreement quicker and come out
ready TO do something about the
problem quicker than men are apt
to do. eve men have inhibitions,

OfpdIllZeu LdDOI, OuI Olu 1llCiiu
the POTTERS HERALD, East Liv-
erpool, Ohio, editorially observed
some weeks ago, has often felt
boycotted or deserted by the Re-
publicans. Citing the Republican
party stand on labor and pointedly
asking, why shouldn't the aver
age worker feel that the COP has
left him behind?, it thoughtfully
concluded:
"If the Republicans in Con-
gress would end their boycott
of progressive issues and list
en- to the desperate needs of
the people, thy would have
labor's embrace. It's the record
that counts. They'll have an
other opportunity in the 82d
Congress-"
A great deal has been written,
and will continue to be written,
about labor's attitude toward poll
tics and in particular about union
Identification with the policies of
the administration and the Demo
cratic party. This column shares
the HERALD's hope that no candi-
date will ever be supported by
labor because he happens to be a
Democrat or Republican or any
thing else"
Unfortunately, this hope is not
always borne out by events. The
tremendous growth and centraliza-
tion of powers in the hands of the
federal government, the desire to
enlist government (either directly
or through it's manifold agencies)
on the side of labor, and last, the
Understandable wish to ride the
"winnah's" bandwagon-all these
have promoted a state of mind
among the national union leader
ship that leans heavily toward the
side.
AS to political allegiance of the
union membership, that is some
thing else. The elections, not only
of 1850 but of years past, have con-
clusively proven that the opinion
of union members on political,
economic and social issues widely
differs. There is, to be blunt, no
collective labor vote, no yardstick
to measure it and no chance to de-
liver it, even if it came into being
by a miracle.
!. :. x
That these considerations loom
large in the minds of the Repub-
lican policy-makers is vividly at
tested by an address of Sen. Robert
Taft before the COPS national eX-
ecutive committee, in which he
urged the party to make big drive
for labor votes in 1852. Referring
to the Ohio campaign which, he
said, proved that the working peo-
pile could be weaned away from the
class appeal of the Democratic
party, he stated:
"There are some people who
fear you can't beat Santa
Claus. | think you can beat
Santa Claus if you reach the
people. The working man does
not regard himself primarily
as a union man, but as an Am
ercan. He is open to the ap-
peal that the general interest
also serves his interests"
Senator Taft was correct I'M
pointing out that the labor gener-
alship made a fatal mistake to
single him out as "No / target"
and to concentrate on the Taft
Hartley Act as their main issue.
He also recommended to other Re-
publican candidates his campaign
technique Of visiting some 300l
factories throughout the state. Re-
calling that he had generally been
given a friendly reception and had
apparently picked up votes, he add
ed:

that, wherever they had strong
CIO unions and acted as nasty

Seven-Ieague boots for Power

You may have heard about the superhigh-vooge lines
that ore being built the American Cos and Electric
System, about the many years of intensive research and
development that preceded them.
Over these lines electric power will be sent from
power plants voIoges before put to commercial
use in this any other country.
What's il all about? What does it all mean TO you?
II means that more power can be sent over single

several IoweryoItoee lines that would be needed.
And means that electricity can be economically

Plan Ready 10 Speed
Science Fact Flow
Between Countries
By she Assoeioted Press

The State Department was re-
ported today to have developed
plans for speeding and expand
ing the exchange of non-secret
scientific information with friend
ly nations.
It is understood the plans call
for assignment Of scientific at
taches to American embassies.
They will have the task of tapping
large stores of information on
scientific developments abroad.
These attaches would work in
about the same manner as the
present commercial and labor ex-
perts attached to American en-
baSsies in major countries: that
is, keep in close touch with de-
velopments and report them to
Washington.
The problem Of what to dc
about stimulating and facilitat-
ing an optimum flow of interna-
tional scientific and chronological
information" has been investi-
gated for several months by DR.
Lloyd v. Berkner, scientist and
special consultant to Secretary
Acheson.
DR.. Berkner is understood to
have completed a report which
will be made public in few days.
Secret atomic energy informa-
tion would not be involved, since
the American Government is pro-
hibited by law from disclosing
atomic secrets.

Grand Jury in Recess
After Hearing Adonis,
Kass on Stamp Deals

The grand jury investigating
Harold Ambrose's stamp transac-
tions with businessmen and un-
derworld figures again is in week
end recess.
With the appearance of such
figures as Joe Adonis. the New
York gambler, and Garfield KaSs,
prominent Washington real estate
man, at yesterdays session, the
Government announced hearings
will be suspended until next week.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney John w. Fihelly introduced
about 10 witnesses, some on re-
call, to the panel in a six-hour
session in the Municipal Court
building yesterday.
Adonis repeatedly was bilked in
the Ambrose deals to the extent
of more than 100000. Mr.. Kass,
who owns the Kass Realty Co.. re-
portedly was taken" for less than
$40, 900, in the ex-postal officials
scheme to buy and resell large
quantities of new stamps at a SO
per cent profit.
Neither of these witnesses, or
any of the others, including an
unidentified Cumberland Md
hotel man, showed any inclination
to talk about his experience after
emerging from the jury room.
Adonis went as far as to say
that Prosecutor Fihelly lis very
nice gentleman" who instructed
him to maintain secrecy about his
testimony or any aspect of the
case. The gambler is expected to
reappear for further testimony.
Ambrose, who resigned under
pressure as a special assistant to
the Postmaster General last Jam
uary, has not been held on any
charge.
Mr.. Fihelly said he expects
there will be testimony on two
more days before the investigation
ends.
