League of Voters Has Study Plan

Underprivileged Children And Social Security Are Topics.

Study outlines on “How New Social Security Legislation Is Affecting the Community” and “Commusnity Plans for Underprivileged Chil dren” are being prepared this sumemer. by the Indiana League of Women Voters.

The first study is to be written by Mrs. Don Datisman, Gary, Govemment and Economic Welfare Department chairman. The second study is to be made by Mrs. C. T. Boynton, Elkhart, Government and Child Welfare Department chair man, Local league officials say that the recently installed merit system in county welfare departments necessitates studies from the viewpoint of the system's administration. Congress, ignoring election pledges, is making raids on the merit system while state Legislatures this year made notable gains in the establishment and improvement of state personnel programs, according to Miss Marguerite M. Wells, National League of Women Voters’ . bresident, Cites Defects

“Such defects are outstanding in the recently signed Independent Offices Appropriation Act and the pending reorganization bill,” she said. “Even in the reorganization bil slated to embody merit system recommendations of the highest character, the ‘presidential appointment’ method of evasion would be further extended. “Patronage appointments for all civilian CCC employees, railroad employee preferences in the railroad retirement legislation and the Senate blockade on the Ramspeck Péstmasters’ Bill are a few of the disturbing illustrations of Congressional indorsement of the spoils grab-bag,” she states. In eight of 15 states where the establishment of new merit systems was proposed, legislation was approved by one house of the Legislature. The states were Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota and Oklahoma. Backed 31 Systems

The League of Women Voters supported 31 merit system measures in 24 state legislatures this year, Miss Wells reported. In 16 states it was the major legislative effort of the league. Fourteen successes and 17 failures resulted. In Kansas, where an inoperative merit laws has been in effect since 1919, the league sought correcting amendments to a pending revision, but no action was taken. In Nebraska, the League successfully worked for authorization of a state study of other state merit system laws. In Iowa, the league supported a measure enabling municipalities of over 1500 population to adopt civil service systems,

Vacation to Do School Work

By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS

One person's finesse may be another's fiasco. Story writing holds a fascination for Miss Jacqueline Wolf but to Miss Priscilla Johnson, her Wellesley College schoolmate, it’s a chore. She prefers to paint her word pictures with water colors and a brush. Just because Wellesley classes have been dismissed for the summer months doesn’t mean that these two local students are frittering away

Urge Campaign To Put Women In Public Otfice

By United Press ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, July 20. ~The National Federation of Business and Professional Women agreed today with President Roosevelt’'s remarks that “under our pres-ent-day life women assume and discharge an ever-widening range of duties and responsibilities.” ? The President's communication to the organization's annual convention came as delegates advocated a vigorous drive to place women in public posts, chiefly in Congress. “If the business of our towns and local communities is to be efficiently discharged, it must be with the aid and co-operation and wholehearted participation of our women citizens —particularly those who follow busi ness and the professions,” Mr. Roosevelt wrote the convention. Marjory Shuler, New York, federation executive and correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, called upon delegates to do their utmost to elect women to the national and State Legislatures. . “I recommend that each region select the one outstanding woman writer and the one outstanding woman speaker of the locality,” she said, “invite them to the 1938 ses sion, educate them to the purposes of the federation, and appeal to them to participate in a public information campaign.” Major task of the federation, she added, is the “protection of the right of all women to do that work which will enable them to fulfill their individual capacities and their responsibilities for individual or family support.”

Young Newlyweds Seek Film Careers
