Those who believe there are so many more women working in the jederal service in Washington than men should take a look at the latest semi-annual statistical report issued by the U. S. Civil Service Com­ mission. The report explodes the belief that the Government service “ is Jull oS women employees.” On June 30, the report reveals, there were 53,038 women and 80,607 men working here in the Government. Outside the District the percentage of male employees w as e v e n greater. The figures are 736,003 men and 133,172 women. Fact is, women made a Uirger percentage increase than men during the six months ended June 30. The number of women increased 12.4 p e r cent and men only 9.6 per cent.

T h e n o tic e said: Federal employees on June 30 numbered 1,002,820, a n increase of 70,515 over the previous six months. Making the greatest gains were defense purjKises at that time. Since then another 40,000 have been Panama Canal, 4,449, and Civil Service Commission, 951. The report revealed that not more than 40,000 had been hired for defense p urp oses a t that time. Since then another 40,000 has been placed on the pay rolls. And the Commission, estimating conservatively, as it always does, predicts that 120,000 new employees will be added between now and June 30, 1941. This figure includes some 65,000 Navy Yard employees and at least that number loho are being hired by War to train conscriptees, make guns and munitions in the arsenals, and to build new bases and train­ ing sites.

T h e L e a d e r has made it a policy to refrain from repeating the news w h ic h has been adequately covered in the daily papers. Merely to h a v e r u n the neivs about Mr. R h e in s te in ’s testimony, which had been blazoned over the front pages of every pa­ per in toxon, would not. we feej, have been of great seriMce to our readers—certainly not when the same amount of space could be de­ voted to material tvhich had not appeared in the daily papers, and which most readers could find noxohere else. This policy has gtiided our coverage of the Coun­ cil investigation pom the beo\^‘ ning. Precisely because that in­ vestigation obtained so much cov­ erage in the newspapers, we havt sought out new and different angles o n the probe. We shall con­ tinue to do so in the future, noi only with reference to the present investigation, but to all news or fecting Civil Service.—Editor.
