PAGE EIGHT FEDERAL POSTS Many Problems Face Army Of Young Women See Need Of Community Help Washington, CU.R) More than 300,000 women are on the gov ernment payroll throughout the country. Nearly doubling their number since 1939, Uncle Sam s "favor ite nieces" would populate now a city equal to Seattle, Houston Denver, or Atlanta. The Wo men's bureau of the U. S. de partment of lat-or estimated that Federal feminine workers in the District of Columbia alone totalled 118,900 in May, .1952, compared to 78,000 in 1941. Requires Health So many problems confront these young women that the U. S. Department of Labor recently published a handbook to guide them. Mary Anderson, director of the Women s bureau, super vised the publication. Needs of community adjust ment at this time are acute, Miss Anderson said.

Knnkit attmnta to solve the problems of girls who mi grate from one locamy -other to secure Jobs in factories, offices, or service trades.

Living quarters should be up to standards essential for health, privacy, cleanliness and comfort. Room rents should not exceed 20 per cent of a woman's income and her bathing, eating, and laundry facilities must be planned for normal living.

Three Major Crises In Separate Sectors Seen Closely Linked BY DE WITT MACKENZIE Wide World War Analyst The week-end has developed three major crises which, al though In widely separated theaters, seem to be closely related (1) the American offensive against the Japanese in the Solomon and Aleutian Islands, (2) the further German gain in the Maikop oil lone of the northern Caucasus, and (3) the inauguration of the Indian Nationalist revolt against Brit ish rule. While we have no official In-" terpretation of the strategic pur poses of the new drive against the Japs, I think we are war ranted in assuming that it prob ably Is intended to serve in part as a "second front" to protect Russia from the Nipponese dur ing the height of the Caucasian pressure. There is danger that the Japanese may take advan tage of the Soviet difficulties to attack Siberia, and our offensive may be Intended to create a sufficient diversion, especially in the air, to discourage them from sticking a knife in Russia's back. Indian Tragery Holds Invitation to Japs The Indian tragedy provides further incentive for the Jap anese to duplicate their Pearl Harbor treachery and strike at Russia. With India thus strick en, and the allies in danger of seeing this vast arsenal and vital strategic base rendered useless -r-or perhaps much worse the hand of the United Nations against Japan will be weakened. MEDFORD MAIL carriers to the bottom in the By the same token China loses striking power against the Japs. Since the Nipponese cut the Bur ma road she has been getting most of her supplies from the outside world by air from India and over primitive trade trails through the mountains from that country. Howeer, while our offensive does protect Russia, either by design or by circumstance, it undoubtedly is calculated to do more than create a diversion to help our Soviet ally. The Solo mons and the neighboring Bis marck Archipelago which the Japs hold, together with North eastern New Guinea, not only constitute a threat to our sea communications with Austalia and New Zealand, but they pro "J - - L A TRIBUNE.

Initial Success To Govern Development Whether this offensive will develop Into a major operation probably depends on what suc cess meets our initial efforts. The chances are that our com mand if figuring on ousting the Japs entirely from this whole group of islands if things go well. That would be a great achievement and one which would create a threat against the whole structure of the Nip ponese island conquests. Apart from the strategic con side-rations, this offensive may provide a most useful answer to the Chii.ese appeals for allied initiative in the Orient, and the Australian fears of invasion. A success there certainly would do much for morale at a time when Britain and America are having to devote most of their energy to meeting the German on slaught against Russia.
