0 The Poor Man's Philosopher Ponders Women's Course For Next Fifty Years By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK. UP) The most interesting thing about the next 50 years will be women. They have been the most In teresting things In any half cen tury. But the big problem won't be so much how women will get along. It will be how diminishing man can get along with them. There Is no doubt that this s really a woman's century, and by the year 2,000 the female brand will be stamped more clearly than ever upon it. The chief task In the 50 years ahead from the standpoint of women themselves is merely to extend their conquest of the male ego. The groundwork for this was successfhlly laid In the years from 1900 to 1950. Ma;.' Attitude Changes In that time the ordinary man's attitude toward women has changed irom a complacent "Dear, what would I do without you?" to an alarmed '.Honey, what am I ever going to do with you?" How will women go about ex tending their rule? I don't think 1 It will come about through any greatly Increased Invasion of ath letics. When Gertrude Edeile swam the English channel, 3he established the basic fact that a good strong girl could compete on equal terms with men in anv sport that requires stamina alone. The reason that Babe Ruth1 home run record stands today isn't that no woman is able to knock a baseball Into the bleaoh ers. It Is merely because ladles prefer doing something more sen sible than trotting around the bases under a hot sun. Why be a spitball pitcher If you can marry one and stay at home while he goes out and throws his arm off? No, It is not the world of WALLPAPER AND PAINT Largest S ck In Douglas County.

Women explored that world thoroughly long ago, in the ages through which they performed most of the work. Nor will women, as a class, make a particularly great to-do in the field of politics. As a lady politico expressed it to me: "Politics isn't worth the slam ming around you have to take." Women are looking more for prestige or affluence than for a ride on a roller coaster. There fore, I think their influence from now on will be felt most in science, finance and in solving the servant problem. Science is pre-eminently a woman's arena because it is neat and tidy, and the one who comes up with the best recipe wins. It beats cooking all hollow, and we are in for a great rash of petti coat scientists. Many of our finan ciers are going to be in skirts soon, too, for the control of cap ital intrigues women as much as it does the government. They have the mind and talent for the job. This brings us to the third chief avenue of feminine effort the solving of- the servant prob- Since maids are almost Impos- Snce maids are almost impos sible to hire and will become more so, the only solution will .le in the further harnessing of hus bands. They have taken the place of servants in many families, and this trend will go on. As families have grown smaller in this century husbands have taken over more and more house hold duties. And as they have done more and more about the home there has been less and less for the wives to do. One wife told me, 'The thing I'd like most in the next 50 years is for my hus band to bring me my breakfast in bed every morning." Another woman said: "I think our biggest problem is gong to be to find something to do with the time we alreadv have on our hands." And that's where you come in, fellows. Your chief duty for the next 50 years and probably 1 000,001 years after that will be to keep the fair sex amused. The more women change the less they do.

President Again Asks Statehood For Alaska, TH WASHINGTON (') Presi dent Truman Wednesday urged congress for the fourth time to grant statehood to Alaska and Ha. wail. He said it is "the duty of the elected representatives of the people" to let these and other civil rights proposals come to a vote. The delegates to congress from Hawaii and Alaska expressed gratification that the President specifically called for statehood for the two territories in his an nual state of the union message. Asked In 1948 Twice before, President Tru man has made similar specific appeals in messages opening a new session of congress. In Feb ruary, 1948, he called for .state hood for Hawaii and Alaska in a special message . on civil rights legislation. La The house passed an Hawaiian statehood bill in 1947, but it died without senate action at the end of the 80th congress. Last year, the house public lands committee approved bills for both Alaska and Hawaii statehood, but they have failed thus far to obtain rules committee clearance for ac tion on the house floor.

Clarence R. Huebner, deputy; commander of U. S. occupation forces In Germany. "He is the best ambassador we , can have he likes children and he is a wholesome fellow. Through him the German people are be ginning to see what we mean by the 'American way of life.' " The general was talking at a lunch eon sponsored by Mrs. Jouett Shouse, chairman of a drive to get Americans to contribute to the Gen. Clay fund for the main tenance of German youth centers in Germany. The GYA German Youth Ac tivities is a program of assist ance to the youth of Germany which was started by U. S. occu pation forces and carried on largely by the volunteer efforts of our servicemen and women overseas. Gen. Huebner told us that last year GIs dipped into their own pockets for $240,000 -to finance their program. In addi tion an appeal to the American public at Christmas time for CARE packages for the centers brought in $60,000. "Last year," Gen Huebner said, "the German children needed food. This year the GYA centers need money to buy textiles from which clothes can be made for the children and to buy play ground equipment. The GYA pro grams are a little bit of America transferred to Germany. They are worth more than all the books, all the ambassadors, all the writ- lings you can put out. And they may save us from having an other war sometime." CARE, the non-profit organiza tion which formerly dealt largely with sending food parcels over seas, has now expanded its pro gram into the field of rehabilita tion. CARE textiles were the first new materials the children had and they themselves converted them into an impressive supply of clothing. . The assistance program started in the early days of the occupa tion forces, GIs became interested In doing something for the for lorn youngsters who hung about the camp for lack of anything else to do for the chance of a jeep-ride, some gum or candy. In off-duty hours the boys began gathering the children together, teaching them games, the groups grew Mrs. Shouse told us that there now are 295 GYA centers in Germany which the Army esti mates are attended by close to 1,000,000 children. 'The Army's assistance pro gram for the' children in Ger many," says Mrs. Shouse, "Is an effort to turn the faces of the children away from the old nazi Indoctrination toward a peaceful, hopeful future. The hope of world peace lies with the children of this country, no less than with the children of the rest of the world." ,ast vear. the President urged enactment of his complete civil rights program, without specific mention of statehood. Delegate Bartlett (D.-Alaska) applauded the message. "I am tremendously gratified," he said, "that the President call ed specifically for Alaska and Ha waii statehood. It should do much to further the cause of state hood. Assistance Noted "The President's recommenda--tlon, joined with the recent state ment of Secretary of Interior Chapman that he would make! statehood top priority for the de partment, should be of great as sistance in putting it through this year." Delegate Farrington (R.-Ha-waii) told a reporter he was par ticularly pleased at President Truman's "insistence that it (statehood) be brought to , a vote."
