E2 LOWELL SUNDAY SUN, NOV. 7, 1971 One businesswoman who does not need Women's Lib By FRANK MACOMBEB Copley News Service Juliette Moran, middle name May, Is too good to be true. Yet she is for real, an American businesswoman who needs Women's Lib like she needs another phone on her cluttered desk. Julie Moran at 54 is senior vice president of the GAF a worldwide manufacturer of chemical and photographic products and equipment, among other things, Its far flung branches stretching around the globe. Before her promotion she was vice president tof communications, which involved all the headaches of advertising, sales promotion and public, investor and shareholder relations.

Miss Moran, the daughter of an Irish father and a French mother, still wears that hat along with her new lone as senior veep. A woman who enjoys good wines, good books and good company, she once unknowigly turned down a job on the supersecret wartime Manhattan noject out oi wtuch grew the atomic bomb. on th gaIa occasFo! 0 whfch 15ran dldtl 1 2 tQJhB keightS 0f Se d'Arc parish payi special trib corporate success overnight, She hired on as an P.T assistant chemist in the GAF process development department way back in 1943 and went cjimbine h0 after that, THERE WERE TOO MANY promotions to Ist here, but needless to say Miss Moran coupled her 1939 BMS. degree in chemistry with a lot of drive and business know how, especially for a lady Who could speak French but no English when she was 10 years old. That's because the family moved to France for a few years when Juliette was only five.

Juliette Moran wears big horn rimmed glasses while she works and part of the time in her book laden apartment in New York's upper Manhattan. But behind them is a pair of Irish eyes or are they French? which smile out at her business associates and friends. Edith Fagan, Miss Moran's secretary for nearly a decade, says her boss' sense of humor is what saves her, what wilh all the puzzlers and decisionmaking that confront her every workday. "In spite of the headaches connected with her Job, I have never known Miss Moran to lose her sense of humor or take an ExnedHn she takes Empirin," explains Miss Fagan, with her own special brand of humor, Chemistry apparently Intrigued Julie Moran by the time she began her high school studies. "For the first time, an orderly universe was being revealed to me," recalls this ladv with the tousled, short, dark brown hair who likes to wear suit type dresses to work but leans toward sweaters when she's off the job.

"I found out that everything in life was made up of chemistry." And she hasn't changed her mind yet, JULIETTE M. MORAN reem at the top THINGS WERE PRETTY hectic for Juliette Moran in the early 1940s after her graduation from New College, Columbia University, just as they were for many young people. She managed to land a job in Macys book department but was admonished for thinking of books as literature instead of merchandise. Finally, after a job as a chemistry assistant at Columbia, Miss Moran worked in the U.S. Army Signal Corps Lab at Red Bank, N.J, When she resigned about a year later, she joined GAF instead of accepting a "rather mysterious job dealing with physical chemistry" because it would have required weeics of delay for the red tape of another round of security cheeks.

Later Miss Moran learned that the job she rejected was in the top secret but later famous "Manhattan Project," where she would have worked with some of the world's top flight nuclear scientists as they conceived a weapon that ended World War II in August, 1945. Are women handicapped In big business because of their sex? Juliette Moran's answer is a big "no." "My being a woman has been basically unim poriHuUn any job I have held," she insists. "I can only think or three business occasions where my gender posed an overproblem two concerned admittance to private clubs where women were not pm miMed and the other involved membership in nn industry association where I was turned down bocHuse I was a woman." Later, however, she adds, she became the first and for many years the only woman in the professional organization. "Tills kind of thing is merely a matter of ignorance and lack of thought," contends Juliette Moran. "If people simply would look at people as individual human beings, we would have a lot less of this kind of nonsense." Glancing back for a moment, Miss Moran recalls a dozen times when she could have moved in a variety of ways to change her life.

"When we make these decisions," she says, "wc never realize they are final choices. Tint once they arc made, it's up to us to mnke them work for us and enjoy them to their fullest," And that's what Julie Moran Is doing, In lave or will observe 25 and 50 vears of married life during the course of ttia Br sfl IMP Being congratulated year are Mr. and Mrs. Roland Laehapelle, who were among the 12 silver jubilar ian couples honored, and Mr. and Mrs.
