General Federation Of Clubs' Head Urges Women To Take More Interest In Politics fly JANE EADS WASHINGTON Thirty years ago th 19th amendment to the Con stitution was ratified. The women of the United Statu had won the right to vote. Do enough of them take advantage of thia and actually go to the poll! and vote? The president of the General Federation of Women's clubs, Mrs. J. L. Blair Buck, thinks not. Writing in the current issue of the Federation's publication, "Clubwoman," Mrs. Buck urges women to take their political responsibilities more seriously. Roseburg, Oregon Do You Know That $ HOLDS Your Misses' or Women's COAT OR SUIT ON LAYAWAY UNTIL MARCH 30th! Py th bolnc In onvtnUnt Inttallmtntt Slate , Berk One of the things that has dis turbed students of political science in this country fo. a long time is the fact that almost half the people who could vote just don't bother t do it. Appeals to "get out and vote" are not new. Both political parties and labor's political organi zations already have drives under way to get more people registered and to get them to vote after they register. But Mrs. Buck makes a special sppeal for women. When they won the right to vote, Mrs. Buck said, most women regarded it as a right and a privilege, but she added: "Not many regarded it as a re sponsiblity." "We would like to think that the events of the past 30 years would have followed a better pattern if moie women had taken their politi cal rights seriously," Mrs. Buck wrote. "But we can say with as surance that unless they recognize the importance of their responsibil ities as citizens during the years of the immediate future, they will deserve . major share of the blame for what goes wrong and little of the credit for any gains made." The Federation is strictly non-partisan, so Mrs. Buck doesn't sug gest for whom you should vote. "Just vote," she says. If you don't vote in the primary. Dr. Georg L.

Mrs. Buck puts in a plug for the federation. She says that in addi tion to voting, a good citizen keeps himself aware of current issues.

"The Investigations so far per formed are only suggestive of the beneficial effect of antihistaminics for the common cold," the AMA council on pharmacy and chemistry reported. - In an editorial commenting on the council's report, the AMA jour nal said it has been estimated $100 million worth of antihislaminic drugs may be sold this year. It added: "This is a plum for those who want to pluck it. X X X the possi bilities for exploitation seem al most unlimited." The council said that In tests made so far there was no clear evidence .of a verified diagnosis of the common cold and no proof that allergy rather than the com mon cold virus may have been responsible for the cold symptoms. "Acceptance of the patient's own di gnosis of a cold introduces many sources of error," the council said. "The patient may have been mis taken in his belief that he was getting a cold; he may have been manifesting the symptoms of an a'.lergy, or his 'cold' may have been aborted (ended) without the aid of any therapeutic agent. The council also repeated its ear lier statement that the druga can cause drowsiness. Senator Downey To Quit . Race, L. A.

L UF -Sena tor Lucas (D-IU) has pitched the - .inistration a weight behind a move to acuttle the Byrd commit t - on non-essential government expenditures. - Lucas told reporters he supports a bill offered in the Senate by Senator Humphrey (D-MInn) which would abolish the nine-year-old senate-house group headed by Sena tor Byrd (D-Va), outspoken critic of President Truman's fair deal" program. "I think the Byrd committee is duplk .ing the work of the Senate expenditurea committee and ought to be abolished under the congres sional reorganisation act," Lucas said. .'.s Democratic leader, he said, he will give his support to the jmphrey bill. "We are ilways criticizing the executive branch ot the govern ment for waste and extravagance but we have plenty of it here in the legislative branch, although it is on a minor scale," Lucaa aaid. Humphrey told the Senate that the Byrd committee has spent more than $100,000. "plus $250,000 worth of time and effort of the ex ecutive branch of the government 1 compiling data, plus undetermin ed additional funds for printing." The committee, set up under the 1940 revenue act, issues month ly reports on the size of the govenment's payrolls. Byrd was not available for a reply to the statements of either L.icas or Humphrey. I'umphrey complained that the committee, which includes secre tary of the Treasury Snyder and Budget Director Frank Pace among its members, calls regu larly for a reduction in federal per sonn 1 "without giving any detailed rr sons."
