Wrshington.—The barring of
women from the Civil Pilot Train
ing program Is called "Intolerable
discrimination’’ by Mrs. John L.
Whitehurst, president of the Gen
eral Federation o f Women’s
Clubs.
“I shall recommend that the
16,000 clubs that make up the
Federation take up this issue and
see it through to a finish. I feel
confident that our 2,000,000
members will feel as I do—that
this disoriinination against wom
en in aviation is not to he tole
rated.” said .Mrs. Whitehurst.
Pointing out that the full
weight of the Federation cannot
he brought into action until fall,
when club meetings are resumed,
Mrs. Whitehurst srid that Mrs.
H. J. Heinz of Pitt.-hiirgli. chair
man of the Committee on Avia
tion in the Federation’s new de
partment of National Defen.se
will take the necessary prelim
inary steps with the clubs in the
various states.
Commenting on the situatior
that has already stirred up a
storm of indignation from the
N’iiiety Nines, national organiza-
|tion of women fliers, as well as
drawing protests from outstand
ing men in aviation. Mrs. White
hurst said: “I cannot understand
the action of the Civil Aeronau
tics Board in closing the Civil
Pilot Training program.s to wom
en On the ground that, due to the
emergency, this training must he
entirely devoted to the streiigth-
jening of the national defense ef
fort, and so the ‘men only .“ign
is called for. Yet I have heard
men stand up and plead, ‘We
must count on you women you
are of vital importance to the na.
tional defense effort.’
“Now that just does not tie in
with this ruling by the CAA.
Women are capable of doing a
big job in aviation. Not only in
peace time, but during periods of
emergency and actual warfare.
The women of England have
proven this. The record on this is
entirely clear, and the record
says that properly trained women
pilots are just as capable and
just as fearless as men. I feel
confident that our two million
members will unite in very posi-
tiveaction as soon as the situa
tion is explained, to them.”
