37 Women Law. J. 23 (1951)
Obiter Dictum

handle is hein.journals/wolj37 and id is 25 raw text is: WOMEN LAWYERS JOURNAL OBITER DICTUM WASHINGTON, D. C.... The appointment of ANNA M. RO- SENBERG, of New York, to the re- sponsible position of Assistant Secre- tary of Defense for Manpower and Personnel is at once an honor and a challenge to all women in political life. Her decisions will effect policy on training, on remobilization and will eventually alter and define this coun- try's policy on the draft and the gene- ral disposition of men and women in the future of the U. S. in world affairs. Mrs. Rosenberg's experience as a Re- gional Director of the War Manpower Commission and a Consultant on Man- power to the National Security Re- sources Board will serve her well. She, herself, served in uniform as President Roosevelt's representative in Europe reporting in 1944-45 on the problems of returning soldiers, mindful even then of her own son's war time service in the Army. Mrs. Rosenberg's immediate job is to find a three million man force and then to maintain it. She will face the criticism of men and women throughout the country for this extra- ordinarily responsible choice. She has been referred to as energetic, per- suasive and that she represents good human relations in industry. Starting her career as a campaign manager, she is presently an advisor in the Dem- ocratic party. Here at least we have a woman participating at the policy mak- ing level in our government and we take great pride in her appointment. RED BANK, NEW JERSEY . .. Joining the other women who have served as Mayors of cities throughout the U. S. is the newly-elected KATH- ERINE ELKUS WHITE. Formerly President of the Monmouth County Branch of the American Association of University Women and subsequently President of its N. J. State Division, KATHERINE ELKUS WHITE Mrs. White was a graduate of Vassar College, the daughter of the later Ab- raham I. Elkus, U.S. Ambassador to Turkey under Woodrow Wilson and Judge of the Court of Appeals of the State of New York. Married to Arthur J. White, Regional Director of the Wage and Hour and Public Contracts of the U. S. Dept. of Labor for N. Y. and N. J., she has combined an active political career with a full home life, which includes her teenage sons pre- sently attending college. Delegate-at- Large to the last four National Demo- cratic Conventions, in 1948 she was named Special Assistant to the Direc- tor of the Women's Division of the Democratic National Committee. Iden- tified with social reform and general community responsibility, she h a s brought to her position as Mayor the combined background of a thoroughly co-ordinated, well-integrated, family- community point of view.
