In 1944, the report said, there was only one servant for every 20 families.

War work has made household workers conscious of hours, even more than of wages, said Miss Gun the going rate for part-time workers. For sleep-ins the wajes are about the same, $150 a month average. "Of course, we don't set the wages," explained Miss Gunner.

"The housewife herself makes the offer." Actually, most houseworkers don't want what the British are now calling resident workers rather 'than sleep-ins, said Mist Gunner. "At a meeting to discuss the domestic worker problem it was decided that resident worker sounded more dignified. But American workers seem indifferent to what housewives call them they don't want to be sleep-ins or resident workers either. What they're interested in are the hours, and the problem will continue to be acute until the housewives begin thinking in terms of regular hours for their household help, a 9-to-5 or a 10-to-6 day and a five-day week, possibly. Some employers are already thinking In these terms.

A $25 weekly minimum is being offered by housewives in this group." Training Courses Along with a shorter working schedule and adequate wages, Miss Gunner believes that training courses for houseworkers should be on the program which both housewives and houseworkers will arrive at in due course. Efficiently planned and organized household tasks, efficiently performed, will have to be substituted for the old beck-and-call arrangement between mistress and maid. That current shortages of house-workers are widespread was confirmed by Mrs. Mary Brower of the Bush Employment Agency, 148 Livingston who said "sleep-ins are much the hardest to find. Many housewives are willing to pay $40 a week to girls, particularly if they are asked to do the cooking.

There just aren't many girls willing to lease their own homes except for part-time work. A lot of them are married and want to spend as much as possible of their time in their own homes." At the Able Employment Agency, 1425 Kings Highway, Mrs. A. Bacal. the owner, said "there are very few girls who want full-time household ner.

One Hopeful Noie The next time you hear the familiar wisecrack "There are all sorts of ways to make a living" you can think of Raoul De Leon. For Raoul, who lives with his wife and son at 152 Beach 116th Rockaway Park, specialized in "dubbing in" for the movies. Which means that If you were In South America and dropped into a movie house in Rio or Buenos Aires to see Edward O. Robinson in "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" you'd see Mr.

Robinson all right but you'd hear Raoul De Leon, the specialist in supplying voices for Spanish and French version of American films. That's what "dubbing in" is the reading of the original actor's lines in translation at exactly the same rate of speed as he said the English ocean. Among the paraphernalia is The same story, with variations, was repeated at several private employment agencies. The only hopeful note, for the old-fashioned lines In each scene so that the soundtrack for the foreign version will synchronize with the lip movement of the original actor. Strangely enough, although most films are made on the West Coast, most of the mechanical work of preparing the export films is done here in New York.

Born in Mexico, educated in Chile, and a stage, screen and radio actor since 1921, 41-year-old De Leon has functioned as the Spanish voice of Prank McHugh in "Medal for Benny," of George Brent in "The Affairs of Susan" (he also directed the Spanish version), and of Lloyd Nolan in "The House on 92d Street." And by way of switching the process, he was the voice of the French actor who played the chief of police in the English-voice version of "It Happened at the Inn." Being a radio actor is a great help to the man who'd like to be a specialist at "dubbing in," this expert maintains because the radio actor works entirely with the voice and because timing is one of the a chemical for dyeing the water so that reconnaissance planes can locate lost crew members, and three parachutes having a 24-foot canopy that will support up to 150 pounds.
