Women in War Work and Home Front Struggles Highlighted
Across the home front women register for war work in Detroit factories and rivet, eight hour shifts, while rationing and rubber shortages loom. The War Production Board ends tire priorities for beer trucks as prices rise and people adjust. The piece notes FBI arrests of 28 Americans named in a national loyalty case, including Elizabeth Dilling and George Viereck, and recalls varied wartime domestic strains from car tires to recapping methods. It also covers a North Carolina case of a woman hiring a sheriff to murder her landlady, a California divorce demand over jealousy, and calls for a second front as Allied tensions grow, with remarks from La Guardia, Mead, Chaplin, and Litvinoff.
