'British secretaries are being brought to the United States to fill paying executive secretary positions and the American girls ttWB't too happy about it, "Why should British secretaries be hired for the good jobs we American girts pound pavements itor?" one home-grown secretary asks. The answer is simple, says Dav- Jd L. Wexler of the first ImeBl agency to import English Secretaries: "The demand for competent executive secretaries today is not being adequately filled by American girls. There are more jobs available than competent secretaries, a firm hires ah able British girl to fill the job." The British girls are guaranteed One year's employment smarting at an $85 a week They receive permanent visas and an option to become a citizen.

They must have had one or two years in secretarial school or college three years' job experience before coming to the United States. The, arrival of English secretaries on the local scene has caused a disturbance ranging 'from the serious to the ridiculous: The New York State Committee Against Discrimination has been investigating possibilities of racial discrlnation in the importation of The State Department has been asked to investigate a possible violation of immigration laws. (It says the Immigration and Nationality Act does not cover secretarial im- iports.) On Madison Avenue, public relations people are testing the reaction of American and British secretaries.

And, on-a recent trip to the United States, Vera Sugg, head of an English employment agency, caused a national incident when she had a fashion designer design a dictation skirt for British secretaries.

She wanted to make sure the British gals weren't showing their knees, she says. "'The skirt didn't go over on the American market. "It's ridiculous," one American secretary says. "I refuse to look dowdy. Besides 'my boss see my legs.

I sit on the other side of the desk." All this fuss is silly, says Wexler, "We bring all types of specialists to the United States to fill job shortages machinists, tool makers, registered nurses besides secretaries. "No one is making a fuss about the Imports in other fields just secretaries. There are a million extra females in England and the class system often prevents advancement there. The girls are higher paid and have better opportunities in the United States and they aren't taking any jobs away the American girls. "Many American girls are being paid $100 a week for sloppy work.

The firms that hire British girls have looked in the home field and can't find what they want." Some American secretaries believe the English girls are hired because "they add dignity to the office. They're hired to answer phones because of their accent." "You can't understand them over the phone," another says. But British girls have nothing to say about all the fuss.
