12 Tht News-Review, Roteburg, Oro.-Thun., Sept. 19, 1949 i Job Of American President Appears To Be Too Demanding For Woman By BRUCE BIOSSAT Should a woman be president? Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, Maine Republican, thinks o. The other day she said the party that nominates a lady for either the presidency or vice presidency In 1952 will have the best chance in the elections. On the other hand. Mm Frank-1 lln D. Roosevelt, probably the (ake ,ne jies, Jockeying for Dfgl-Kaown WUIIJMII ill nt'ici ivoii life, doubts that the time Is right for a woman to occupy the high est positions In the nation. We tend to side with Mrs. Roosevelt. No question, women have made tremendous strides since they first began taking part in politics Right now there is a liberal sprinkling of them in Congress, some of them admit tedly able lawmakers. Mrs Smith herself belongs in the latter cate gory. The country has had wom an governors and many success ful lady mayors. But a woman for president Is i nan position, all call for mental and physical stamina that tew men let alone women possess In am ple amount. And then, too, one can conjure up all sorts of minor difficulties. Presuming a lady president were married, what would be her Hus band's statues? Comedian Bobby Clark took a crack at this prob lem in "As the Girls Go." Accord ing to him, all the poor guy can do is substitute for the White House barber, entertain visiting firemen, and generally behave as kind of upgraded Harry. Vaug- something else; It's an old story that the Job it a man killer. And few women in either business or politics have ever had to bear the sort ol constant pnysicai pressure a president feels.- A woman might stand up under the test better than we Imagine. But In these turbulent times the country can't take the risk of finding out. Still more important, It seems to us, is the matter of tempera ment. The emotional make-up of women raise serious doubt that a lady president could offer the toughmindedness the Job de mands these days. For example, how many wo men can you picture telling off John L. Lewis and making It stick? And can you see some Madame President holding her own at a future International con ference where Molotov or some other crafty Russian Is the ad versary? Life In the workaday world of high-level politics is a pretty brutal business today. The ten sion, the hammering give and- Would Madame President be able to throw out the first ball when the baseball season opens? Would the presidential plane be redecorated in chartre use and other distinctly feminine shades? Would we get a lady se cret ervlce? How would she look in Indian feathers? You can see the thorny path that would lie ahead. No, the Idea had best be shelv ed until timet get a little better, Some day it probably will hap pen, and when it doet It will be good for the country It will fur nish the world with a dramatic example that In a democracy any individual, regarciess of sex, may rise to the topmost place among the nation's leaders.

Proposed Changes In Mining Laws Disputed Subject SPOKANE. Sept. 29. (vP) A federal official and a mining In- jdustry spokesman disagreed snarpiy weanesaay on proposea changes in the nation's mining laws. Both tides of the question were aired in speeches prepared for the American Mining Congress western division convention here. Marlon Clawson, director of the bureau of land management, said the mining laws of 1872 have "been widely used to thwart the purposes of other land laws and to deprive people entitled to land use under other laws of their lawful rights." Charles E. Willis of Phoenix, state secretary of Arizona Small Mine Operator'i association, re plied that "current difficulties, to a large degree, can be charged to faulty administration or lack of administration" of the laws. The argument centered on ap plication of mining laws to gov ernment land. Clawson said the laws need re vision because they retard min ing development, interfere with other legitimate and desirable uses of government lands, and permit unauthorized uses of gov ernment lands In the guise of mining locations. Willis said some of the pro posed changes have merit, but many of them "are quite radical and would completely nullify the fhilosophy of the basic mining aw of the'eountry upon which our present mining industry has been successfully built." Clawson traced In detail what he called faults in the present mining law. Willis covered the same ground, pointing out new difficulties he thought might arise if new proposals were adopted. Mineral development now is re tarded on public land, Clawson said, because no legal protection is given to subsurface explora tion; claim owners are not re quired to develop claims; mon opolisation of mineral areas is possible; title to mineral areas frequently is In doubt, patenting of claims is too slow and expen sive, and prolonged legal dis putes are common. Highway Interim Report Cost Political Spat Topic PORTLAND, Sept. 29 (JPt Monroe Sweet land. Democratic national committeeman, atked Gov. Douglas McKay Wednesday to make public the amount of money a Portland author receiv ed for helping prepare the 194 legislative highway interim re port. Sweetland said that Robert Or mond Case received $1,000. plus "additional sums of taxpayers' money, which was relayed through' a Los Angeles organiza tion known as fcxecutlve Re tearch." "Sweetland't suggestion of something sinister it ridiculous," retorted Case. He said the $1,000 was paid him for two months' work, and was "less than half the amount 1 1 would have charged a national magazine for the same services. Executive Research, he said, published the engineering report for Oregon, Washington, and Cal ifornia, and hired him to do the preliminary work on the Wash ington report and all of the Ore gon report. Case added that he didn't 3b-' Ject if the firm wished to disclose what it paid him. You know it's good because IT'S FRESHER -.
