(Acme Telephoto) Rosie the Riveter Makes Comeback in Defense Effort Baltimore, Dec. 21 (P) Rosie the Riveter the overtime gal in the blue jeans who helped shoulder America's World War II de fense effort is coming back in increasing numbers. At least In the Baltimore area, her sisters are busy swapping their peek-a-boo veils for welders' helmets in more than one Important industry, ' Officials of various firms here say that manpower shortages brought on by the twin causes of production expansion and ac celerating military requirements are being met by hiring more and more women. A spokesman for Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Company said that firm has had a personnel in crease of 1,500 in the last two months, and that it plans to keep hiring at the rate of two or three hundred per week. As manpower becomes short ' er, the percentage of women hired will Increase, he said. At the Bendix Radio Corp., 20 per cent of the employees are women already, and recruit ing of female workers is still in progress. An official of the Yellow Cab Company said it is currently using about 25 women drivers, and more women and older males will be added to the payroll. But as for bus driving, the Baltimore Transit Company would rather make it strictly stag. It's too fatiguing a propo sition. A spokesman said if the man power situation gets much worse. the company will begin hiring women, but they'll be given streetcars to operate not buses. At Bethlehem shipyards in Sparrows Point, an official made this statement: When you've got to build hips, and you run out of men, you go out and hire women." At present, he said, a low ebb of shipbuilding activity in that particular yard precludes a hir ing problem. Wish you and Ted could have been here f ot Sue's party. She served barbecued spareribs with a wonder ful dip sauce. Turns out the sauce she uses is a sandwich spread called Lunch Box and yours truly is now one of its greatest fans. Anyway, the next day I lost no time in getting a jar of this Lunch Box Spread (Safeway carries it) and wait till you taste what it does for a sandwich! I want you to try it with peanut butter and crisp bacon tidbits for something really special, You know what a fussbudget I m about flavor and this Lunch Box is the best and freshest spread I've ever tasted. It's made with real, pure mayonnaise perked up with pickle relish and sweet red peppers. Honestly, I don't see how it can sell o reasonably, but I'm glad it does for we go through a quart in no time. You better buy the quart size too for I know you'll want to try it in all your fillinss sauces and Spreads. You must be up to your ears, like I am, packing lunches these days, so lve got a new kind of sandwich for you no bread! Just spread a slice of cold boiled ham with lots of lus cious Lunch Box. Roll it around a crisp green onion and secure it with a toothpick. My boys think it's super and yours will, too. WW' Bridges Aide Barred by Army San Francisco, Dec. 21 (U.R) Left wing longshore leader Hen ry Schmidt was barred today from work on Bay area military docks. Schmidt, a leading figure in the International Longshore men's and Warehousemen's un ion, was convicted early this year of conspiring with Union President Harry Bridges to con ceal the latter's membership in the communist party, Schmidt has appealed that conviction and is out on bail. A spokesman for the army port of embarkation said that Schmidt, because of his convic tion, was considered "undesir able" and would be barred from work at Fort Mason or at the Oakland army base. This followed earlier action by the navy, which barred Schmidt from working at the Oakland naval supply center pending investigation of his status as a security risk. Schmidt Tuesday was ordered to leave the naval installation, where - he was working on a ship. Two civilian security guards at the depot told him "We don't want you around." This action was the first re ported since last September when the armed forces began making loyalty and security checks of longshoremen em ployed at army and navy docks The screening was designed to prevent communists and others considered bad security risks from handling military supplies to the orient. The 51-year-old Schmidt known on the waterfront as "The Dutchman," was born Germany. He was married here recently to Miss Sumiko Ogawa, 32, of Honolulu, whom he met while directing the ILWU's strike in the Hawaian Islands in 1949. Meanwhile, smaller firms whose defense contracts require almost overnight expansion have indicated they'll be glad to open their payrolls to the working women. Rosie's reputation for getting the job done rates high in the Baltimore area. Industrialistts are remembering what she did during World War Two. Mayor Lee Raps Defense Plan Portland, Dec. 21 VP) Mayor Dorothy McCullough Lee yester day rapped a plan outlined Tues day at Salem on Oregon civil defense procedure. She said she had made a pro test at Tuesday's meeting, but had agreed to say nothing1 about it until Gov. Douglas McKay had reached a decision. Then, she said, she found that It had been reported in the press. "I gathered from the govern or he dldn t want me to discuss it," she said. "Did they try to seal my lips and then rush to the Salem newspapers and correspondents and give them their version of it?" Under the plan outlined at the meeting, attended by of- Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Thursday, Dec. 21, 1950 13 ficials including representatives of the state police and the coun ty sheriff's association, cities and other disaster areas would first call on their own counties for needed help, then go to the state for aid If necessary. Police Supt. II. G. Maison was reported as saying that a call to the state for additional law enforcement help would bring either direct state police aid or help from neighboring communities. "Actually," the mayor said, they were discussing only law enforcement but I gathered this plan was to be the pattern for all civil defense aid." She said that was a new pro cedure, substituting a direct call to the state for previously plan ned mutual aid pacts between counties. If the governor were to ap prove the new plan, the already tentatively arranged procedures would be discarded with result ant confusion in Portland plan ning, she said.

(Acme Telephoto) Dallas Marines With Survivors Dallas Christmas will be much happier for two Dallas families because of good news this week from the fighting front in Korea. Two Dallas marines, who had not been heard from in some time, have sent letters to their families here. One, Sonny Brown, son oi Mr. and Mrs. Armon Brown, was wounded in the leg and suffered from frostbite at the time his 1st marine unit was encircled in the Changjin reservoir area, but in a letter to his wife in Dallas, he assures her that he is im proving fine and is getting "lots and lots of good warm food." Ron Nairn, who fought with the 7th regimental combat team of the 1st marine division at the reservoir, wrote from Hamhung under date of December 11: "I made it OK . '. . after two weeks of fighting on the way out from the Changjin reservoir . . , the 1st marine division is shot . . . the 5th, 7th and 11th marines were practically annihilated . . . Where my battery used to have a formation three deep and a city block long, now there is only a small group . . . lost all our of ficers except the assistant bat tery exec. , . . and all our staff NCO's." Nairn wrote that rumor had it they were supposed to ship out for Japan that afternoon. His wife, Mrs. Ronald Nairn of Sa lem, has been attempting to con tact him for the past several days through the Red Cross be cause of the serious illness of his father, Wesley Nairn of Dal las. ' Mr. Nairn is in the St. Vin cents hospital, Portland, where he is very ill with a heart condi tion. Worry about his son is be lieved to have aggravated the ailment.
