Darke AVOID POLITICS THINKING OUT LOUD (Continued from Page One)” are an answer but, frankly, not a very good answer. But many a4 woman, who considers this demand for her patriotic services outside the home may well consider bitterly the blunders and political malingering of those who run the government. f Ship building corporations that hoard men, keep them on the payroll doing nothing more important than swatting flies, in case they may be needed. Young men who have ducked into various war imdustries to avoid selective service. Union men who insist on their featherbed jobs even in war time, such as provided by Califor“nia’s brakemen law that prescribes . so many brakemen to every -train whether they are needed or not. Musicians who get paid or ‘“‘standby service whenever a high school band plays. Union men who strike or higher wages when they are already getting five or six times the ‘wages of soldiers or sailors. An intelligent woman about to enter a war industry, or the Waves, the Spars, or the Waages, will probably think of these things before she gives up her business of maintaining a home, but probalbly has, being intelligent, ‘will nevertheless take the job because she loves her country more than she detests the traitorous masculine scum and the slackers who put the brakes on our national war effort. But she will highly resolve in her own heart that she will vote to oust that congressman who gave these yellow offscourings’ their legal refuge.

Paul Jerigord, veteran of the last war, casts a doubt upon the prediction, contrasting the French woman with the more businesslike types of America and England. “The French woman ‘does not wish to be the rival of man,’’ said Capt. Perigord, ‘but wou'ld rather remain, POSTWAR HIGHWA “NUTT S'TS ON PLAN TO COST 70 MILLIONS SACRAMENTO, Feb. 22.—(UP)— A 70 million dollar postwar program ‘to modernize state highways and to absorb possible unemployed is envisioned by ‘Charles H. Purtell, director of state public works. The program, which calls for an immediate appropriation of $10,000,000 to prepare plans and acquire the rights of way, would fall into three types of improvement: 1. ‘Work on rural major traffic arteries now deferred because of fed eral restrictions on materials, equipment and manpower. 2. Bridges and structures requiring reconstruction. 3. iMajor highway developm2nts leading into and through metropolitan areas. Preparation now, including the Purchasing of rights of way, would greatly facilitate immediate beginning of the work after the war, Purcell said. He pointed out that funds. By CLEM WHITAKER Congress, it is now becoming a» parent, plans to take a hand in co» ing with the nation’s critical manpower problem—and there are likely to be repercussions which will echo the length and “breadth of the couniry, with War Manpower Commiss-. ioner Paul V. MeNutt occupying the hoitest seat in the land. MeNuit himself touched off con gressional rebellion when . he ane nounced that dependency would be abolished as a ground for draft de> ferment and that the heads of fam-. ilies. if employed in non-essential work, would be taken into the armed forces ahead of single or childless) men engaged in war industries. Conr-. according to current indica‘ions, will countermand that order, despite the combined protests of the) gress, Army and Navy and “McNutt, and} probably will enact legislation * definitely setting down tihe order in which men are to be drafted. Manpower Chief MecNutt’s announced plan for a nation-wide labor now available for such groundwork are limited. . “Readiness with plans and rights, of way at the time hostilities cease. means that immediate employment, can ibe provided for workers released from war industries and for re-. turning service men,” he said. “Projects are located generally where unemployment will exist, with . particular emphasis on the areas of} large employment where the adjus: ment period may be particularly sev ere”? : Estimates of projected spendirg in various cities included: Los Angeles $1,300,000; Oakland $300, 600; San Francisco $2,410,000; Sac: ramento $1,625,000 and San Diego $500,000. Farewell Surprise Party for Mrs. Al Williams Mrs. Al Williams was given a farewell party at her home on Park avenue Tuesday evening when several friends called to enjoy cards and refreshments. The friends came in a group taking her completely by surprise. Cards Were played with prizes going to Mrs. Annie Browning, Mrs. Ed Martine and Neita ‘Williams. Those invited were Mrs. Annie draft to provide workers for essential industries, while it may continue to be used for some time, as a threat to high pressure men into shifting to war industries; is also doomed to die a-Dorning, Washington experts pre,dict. Congress, in this instance, not opposed to the principle of draftlabor, if it ‘becomes necessary, Dut it would undowbtedly kick over ‘he traces and prohibit use of the labor draft if the Roosevelt administration attempted to require men so drafted to join labor unions. And if the administration didn’t insist on drafted workers paying initiation fees and dues to the various unions in each industry; the labor movement would fight the plan bitterly. Either way, McNutt would have a tough nut to crack—and the concensus of opinjon is that, despiteshis name, he isn’t that good a nut-cracker. Another condition which has congress steamed up is .the asserted waste of manpower, due to feather-. bed labor enactments, and to ove -. loading of government payrolls.

The department now gives examinations in many larger towns, but in the less populous counties examiners usually are available only at the county seat. The tentative plan, Garland said, is to have a number of traveling driving examiners who would spend two or three days a month in each town in their areas. The sessions in the smaller towns, he said, would be given adequate advertising. a Snow Conditions in ‘Returning’ ‘from ‘an‘* overnight trip to Gold Lake, Sierra county, Leland Smith, assistant supervisor in charge of grazing, and Marc Edmond, fire assistant, report that the snow at the shelter hut is almost 8 feet deep.
