' Although the house-to-house campaign to register the present or past work experience, training or vocational preferences of all adult Oregon women will not be gin until February 16, the gar gantuan problems demand detail ed attention in advance, accord ing to Mrs. Micelil. Every active women's organization in the city and county is expected to play an Important part when the door-to-door canvassing begins the regis tration of all women above high School level. - The announced purpose of the Inventory Is to create a vast new reservoir of skilled, semi-skilled and "trained" womanpowcr, avail able as substitutes for men if and when an acute labor short age develops as the result of workers being drawn Into mili tary service and heavy defense Industries. ' Commenllng on the program Mrs. Micelil drew a distinction between the pending inventory of womens' vocational skins ana the various civilian defense or ganizations. " : "The registry of women's vo cational skills will be placed at the disposal of the employment service," she explained, i "and if women are called for emergency work they will be fully paid In accordance with union standards. Civilian ' defense workers volun teer their services." " Classifications Listed. The abilities of the women reg istered will fall' into four main classifications: Women with skills more lmortant than the work they are now doing; women who have secondary skills that may be developed when heeded; wo men with potential skills who are willing to be trained In vocational work; and women who may fit Into places vacated by men called inlo heavy defense industries or military services. Mrs. Micclli said that some 4, 000 trained Intel-viewers will be gin the house-to house canvassing February IB, and that the Inven tory data for the entire state should be collected by the end ot the month. "If the inventory is successful, it may be used as the pattern for other states from Boston to the Golden Gate," Mrs. Micelil said. Just when women will he called Into emergency Jobs In the state's offices, factories and fields If at tall - depends largely upon changes In the accelerated Ameri can defense program, and the ex pansion of the military forces. The Mcsdamcs Dunbar and Mi celil urged that all women's or ganizations, clubs, auxiliaries and other groups be represented at the mass meeting January 30. Further information about any phase of the women's mobiliza tion project may bo obtained from F. W. Chase office manager of the employment service, Mrs. Micelil said.

Cigaret Tax Law Suit Arguments Offered at Salem V vv S v SALEM, Jan. 22. (AP) Argu ments In the State Retail Grocers association's' suit 'to force Secre ctary of State Sndll to place the two-cent cigaret tax law on the ballot next November are being heard by the state supreme court today. ' ' ' ;' 1 ' ' The association contends that the legislature- has r.o iU(lioriy to restrict ' the fiferendem by passing a law requiring filing of expense statements, that the as sociation'! ' - expense ' statement complied with the law, and that It. has not been "proved that the association wilfully disregarded tne law i ! The 1941 legislature passed the cigaret tax law, but the associa tion delayed enforcement of it by completing referendum petitions. Snell then ordered the tax com mission to collect the tax, Snell's action' being based On' an attor ney general's opinion that the ex pense statement was not' ade quate. ! r ' - The state tax commission be gan collecting the tax two weeks ago, and the association then fil ed the suit to force Snell to put mo measure on tne ballot. ' Alfred E. Clark, Portland at torney, will argue, in bohalf of the association, while Assistant Attorney General Rex Kimmel will represent Snell. If the court holds in favor of the association, collection of the tax would stop immediately, and the voters would decide next No vember whether they want the tax. The tax commission said today that if dealers have cigarcts on hand when and if the court or ders the measure to the ballot, tne tax would not be collected on those clgarets. The commission also held that responsibility for collection of the tax rests with the first deal er who receives the cigarets aft er they enter the state, whether the dealer is a wholesaler oi re tailer.
