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.

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.

the nominees are going to be, you

candidates.
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.

clubs, can make a vitally impor

Drugs For Colds
Is Undetermined
CHICAGO, P) The value of
antihistamines in combatting colds
can not be determined on the basis
of te.sts made so far, a Council of
the Anjerican Medical association
says.
"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.

WASHINGTON. 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."
Besides Byrd, senators on the
committee are McKellar (D-Tenni,
C- rei (D-Ga). Bridges (R-NH)
and Butler (R-Neb), with one va
cancy. House members are Reps.
Doughton (D-NC), Cannon (D-Mo),
Kerr (D-NC), Cooper (D-Tenn),
Taber (R-NY). and Reed (R-NY).
Byrd has been at odds with the
Truman administration almost
since it went into office in 1945.
