More Women to Work
In Future Years

The next several years will
see more women working.
their career spans heightened
and their job opportunities
increased.
These prospects were held
out to members of the Ma
tional Federation Of Business
and Professional Women's
Clubs by prominent speakers
helping to dedicate the fed
eration's new headquarters
at 2012 Massachusetts, avenue
NV. yesterday.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell
predicted that more than
half an anticipated 10 mil
lion additional workers in the
country's labor force by 1865
will be women.
He said the future of the
country's economy depends
more than ever on woman
power. In the last i've years,
the number Of employed
women increased by nearly
rs million. a figure repre-
senting so per cent OF the
total increase in employment,
he noted.
Most Over IS
Most Of the women who
went to work in these years
were over IS years Of age, he
said.
Secretary Mitchell went on
to say that the outlook seems
to be that more women will
work longer than ever be-
fore-the average woman for
about 10 years Of her life.
He pointed out that relatively
few women work full time
without a break, usually for
homemaking.
He asserted that federation
members could do much to
see that training programs
are available for women
wishing to return to work.
and to provide adequate
guidance and counseling in
formation and facilities for
the young woman worker.

Haskell Votes To
Restore Defense Cut
CONTINUED from page one)

continued from page one)
"The budget estimate sent to the
House for its consideration called
for an appropriation of s26,12S,-
100000. That bill, of course, went
to the House Appropriation Com
mittee, which cut the original re-
quest by more than $2.5-billion dol
lars" he stated
Mr.. Haskell then noted that eff
forts were made to restore $780,
100000 for Army operation and
maintenance, $S,000,000 for Army
research and development, $780,
100000 for Naval airpower, and
$175, 100000 for Air Force aircraft
and related procurement, but each
amendment was defeated.
"In each case, | felt that it was
necessary for the funds to be re-
stored, and / so voted" he said.
THE President tried in every way
to have the funds restored, even to
go so far as to appeal on television
to the people"
Later, Congressman Garfield of
New Jersey introduced motion
to recommit the bill to the Appro-
priations Committee, with the in
structions that it should be report
ed back with 1913, 100000 worth of
cuts restored. But on roll-call
vote of Isl for and 242 against, the
motion was rejected. In this case,
| voted to recommit the bill, which
was another way of trying to re-
store the cuts. And once again, we
failed to put back the money.
'The only money restored by the
House was an amount of $21, ,500,-
900 for use of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration for aids to air navi-
cation. This was done by an amend
ment which | supported on the floor
of the House." Mr.. Haskell said.
'On several occasions" he con-
tinued, Il have mentioned that |
felt the cuts made in the Defense
budget were unwise. And | have no
reason to change my conviction
now.
Let us hope in the light of de-
velopments on the international
scene since Congress adjourned,
Members of the House and Senate
will give more carful consideration
to future budgets that vitally con-
Germ our national survival"
