Milleil Hurls A Brickbat
At "Finer Femininity, Inc."
By RUTH MILLETT
A group of women have started
an organization for junior high
school girls whose main aim is to
keep them from drinking and smok
ing. Nobody in his right mind
thinks it is a good idea for kids
of that age to smoke or drink.
But isn’t it silly to organize girls
on the basis of “We do not do
this”? To begin with, you are fos
tering a “holier than thou” atti
tude in the young. And you’re giv
ing them the idea that the two
great evils of the world are femi
nine smoking and drinking — and
that without those habits a girl is
all she ought to be.
ON WRONG TACT
Certainly teen - age girls should
be given —at home and at school
—a set of standards that are suit
able for their age. But they should
be encouraged to have tbeir own
set of standards and to stick to
them for their own good, instead
of being organized as a group of
“we don’ts.”
The group of women sponsoring
this new organization of young
girls talks about encouraging “fin
er femininity.” But doesn’t finer
femininity mean that a woman has,
and quietly sticks to«her own ideals,
without shouting or bragging about
how good she is?
Isn’t putting “goodness” on a na
tional organization basis the wrong
way to tackle the problem? Good
ness is a personal matter—and not
something to be flaunted by a but
tonhole emblem.

NELSON WILL GET
NEW, BIGGER JOB
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. — <A>> —
Expanded industrialization of Mex
ico and certain South American
countries reportedly is among the
major projects to be placed in
the hands of Donald M. Nelson in
his future re.- as nresidential em
issary for “postwar economic co
operation with other nations.”
Nelson will work outside the
State Department and foreign eco
nomic adminstration, it was reli
ably stated, and will perform his
economic liaison job mainly by
moving between President Roose
velt and the heads of foreign gov
ernments. He probably will be a
member of President Roosevelt’s
personal staff.
The former War Production
Board chairman is expected to
turn his attention to Mexico when
his present White House assign
ment — that of spurring China’s
wer industry and planning Chinese
postwar industrial expansion — is
farther advanced.
Subsequently, it is understood,
he has hopes of helping broaden
the base of industry in the more
southerly Latin American coun
tries with the same ultimate aim
—the stimulation of trade between
this country and others. WPB as
sociates Dointed out that while it
was under Nelson’s leadership that
agency already has taken steps to
help bo+h Mexico and Brazil with
industrial expansion.
Nelson is no longer interested in
running a government agency, ac
cording to friends, and therefore
can be ruled out as a possible
choice for leadership of any pres
ent agency or any new one set up
to handle reconversion or demobi
lization.

—The Germans were reported to
day to be using old coal mine
tunnels as avenues to bring up

STRIKERS TOLD
TO RESUME WORK
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 2.—(A>>—
The regional War Labor Board,
through its disputes director, an
nounced late today it had sent a
telegram to Cody Quinn, represen
tative of the International Associ
ation of Machinists (A. F. of L.)
ordering him to put his men back
to work “at once” at the huge
Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Engine
plant, where more than 8,000
workers are on strike.
Edward A. Huesing, the disputes
director, said his telegram in part,
read:
“This is notice to you as respon
sible union officer and yc mem
bership of local 314, employed by
this company, to return to work at
once and not engage in illegal
work stoppage which is destroying
the flow of vital and urgently
needed war material.”
Ruesing’s action followed a rec
ommendation by Walter J. Munro,
commissioner of the U. S. Concili
ation Service, that the case of the
work stoppage at the plant be cer
tified immediately to the national
WLB at Washington. The national
board telephoned Ruesing and he
sent a telegram to Quinn.
L. C. Mallett, engine factory
manager, said an estimated 80 per
cent of the 10,000 men and women
employes on the day shift left
their work after punching time
clocks at 8 a. m. today. The exec
utive board of the local union is
sued a s*atement after a meeting,
saying the work stoppage was un
authorized.
A member of the union’s execu
tive board, who refused permis
sion to use his name, announced
late today that the executive board
of local 314, I. A. M. had just
reached a decision as to the course
the union should take in the dis
pute, but that it could not be an
nounced until after it had been ap
proved by the entire membership
of the union.
A special meeting of the mem
bership has been called for 9 o’
clock tonight, he said.
