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,

her country more than she detests the traitorous masculine

menting on a published report that
the women of France, after the war,;
will claim political ‘recognition and
opportunities, Capt. 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.

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

Estimates of projected spendirg
in various cities included: Los Angeles $1,300,000; Oakland $300,

$500,000.

not opposed to the principle of draftlabor, if it ‘becomes necessary,
Dut it would undowbtedly kick over

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

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.

Examiners of Drivers
to Visit Small Fowns
SACRAMENTO, ‘Feb. 215.—(UP)—Gordon Garland, state director of
motor vehicles, today announced he
was planning an extended drivers license examination service to save the
time and tires of applicants for licensse. e
Garland said he believed that the
residents of smaller California towns
should not be forced to drive 40 or
‘50, miles in some cases in order to
take drivers’ tests. 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.
