Mrs. Margaretta Neale of New York, assistant to the director general of the U S Employment Service, told the Massachusetts Civil Service Reform Association’s 18th annual meeting that greater effort is needed to place women returning from war work in Washington and other posts.

She called for post office to allow transfers to higher paid departments for qualified workers, and said the Federal Bureau will remain and cooperate with state agencies.
