Women in the armed services
apparently are finding 1t q
satisfying career Judging by
the increasing re-enlistment
rate. But there's still q public
education job to be done in
transmitting this success story
TO the grass roots. q group Of
the country's top women civic
and military leaders agreed
yesterday.
The occasion was q joint
press conference called by the
Women's Bureau Of the De-
partment Of Labor and the
Defense Advisory Committee
on Women In the Services, to
launch distribution of a hand
book describing job opportuni-
ties for women in the military
services.
The pamphlet, entitled
Careers for Women in the
Armed Forces" represents the
first joint Defense-Labor at
tempt to categorize women's
job opportunities in the armed
forces.
Provides Answers
The booklet provides am
swers to some Of the questions
most frequently asked by
women applicants for enlist
ment, such as: Can q recruit
choose her job? Does enlist
Inent assure the opportunity
for foreign travel? Is there q
real need for women to join
the armed forces2 Can q
woman in the services get mar
ried2 What types Of jobs are
open?
Mrs. Oliver crowther Of
Portland, Greg. retiring chair
man Of the committee which
Is now holding its seninnual
meeting here, said she felt the
pamphlet would help the group
In carrying out its two-fold
objective Of creating further
public acceptance OF military
careers for women and en-
couraging the women them
selves to 60 into military sery-
ice.
MRS. Alice Leopold, assistant
to the Secretary Of Labor in
charge Of women's affairs, said
she felt the pamphlet con-
tinued the Women's Bureaus
detectives Of guiding the
young women Of the Nation in
seeking job opportunities.
Our young women Of today
want to make something Of
themselves" she said. @They
want to find q satisfaction in
their work that Is create than

pointed out this Is one Of the
attractions Of serving In the
military services.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (P). - A
matters union announced yester-
day that it is taking over opera
ton of a Baltimore hat factory
that went out of business after
a four-month strike.
Alex Rose, president of the
United Hatters, Cap and Mil

manufacturing business to make
money, but merely to safeguard
the livelihood of the rs MEM
bees who lost their jobs.

Alexandra Departments
Ask 1914 Million Budget

Budget requests totalling $9.4
million for fiscal 1861 have
been submitted by Alexandria
City department heads, it was
learned today.
The figure represents an in
crease of SIG million over the
current $7.8 million budget.
City Manager Ira F. Willard
told City Council last week that
increased expenses expected
probably could not be carried by
the present SITS real estate tax
rate.
The Council has set a public
hearing for December q on the
tax rate for 1856. The tax rate is
fixed on calendar year basis
while the budget is drawn on q
July / to June 80 fiscal year.
This means that unless the
budget requests are cut. the 1856
tax rate would have to carry al
least half the SIG million in
crease requested for 1861.
Three councilmen said last
week they would not support any
increase in taxes. Mayor Leroy
