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.
