Registration Of Women
Next Month
,Registration Will Be Com-
pulsory But Women Will Not
Be Forced To Accept Positions
Elliot M. Little, director or
National Selective Service, said in
an initervievr at Montreal, that
national regiestraltionl of women
would start early in September.
He eonrphaelzed that while the
regietratlon was comoulsary, wo-
men would not be totted to accept
offered positions "at this time," He
dndleated, lihowever, if there were
serious developments in the war the
volauntaty basis an which women
enter industry might be set aside.
He did not elaborate on this point,
Mr. Little said the national regis-
tration would bow just how many
women were available for war indus-
try.
"We avast consider eaioh woman's
po.siation indnvidnhia1ly in this scheme,"
he said. "We must 'consider her re-
esponsibilitese,"
Mr. Tattle said it -might be neces-
sary to move women me industrial
areas. Thiai wowld only be done 96
there were no other solution to this
war labor problem. .
Ultimately, he said, the percentage
of woanen employed in the majotlity
of war indmOttties would exceed that
of mer'. An excerption, would be the
sated industries, ewhdhh could not
,absorb many women on 500011ntt of
