O SizesD7-14 o o o O Downstairs Store o 0 Woman Ropcttter Becomes First Rate Correspondent During Korean Hostilities By RBLMAN MORIN (For Hal Boyle) NEW YORK (AP) My wife, who is a career woman and admits to strong feelings on the subject, has a favorite cliclfe, to wit: "A woman, in any kind of business, has to work twice as hard as a man to get half as far." I used to be stuck for an answer to that, but the war In Korea provided one. "How about Marguerite Higgins," I ask, by way of a crusher. Maggie Higgins was the only woman reporter over there on a daily stint. Some others came and went on quickies. But Maggie made a job of it. She came back with a Pulitzer prize, an excellent book and a clear track for the lecture cir cuits. A Hollywood studio wanted her life story as the basis for a picture, 'but the agents made the mistake of showing her the story outline they had in mind, and sha said nix to that. There were many other emoluments that came to her. AH of them were richly de served. Works As Hard Whether Maggie worked twice as hard as the men on the same beat would be hard to determine. Let's just say that she worked as hard as most, and harder than others. In any case, the point is that when the rewards were being passed out Maggie was handsomely remem bered. And so she should have been. She underwent all the usual hardships of war correspondents plus. For example, she stayed with a South Korean division for a week or 10 days, and I do not recall that any other American correspondent did that. It was much more dangerous than sticking with American units, and by the nature of the things, not much of a story. The news paper readers over here naturally were more interested in closeups of what Americans were doing than they were in any of the Allied units. I doubt that she got much copy out of it. But is was typical of her thoroughness to assign her self to the ROKS. Her bravery, in fact, bordered on plain recklessness. One day, a correspondents' jeep was moving up near the front and it came to a fork in the road. An M. P. was standing there. And they asked directions of him. He pointed down one road and said that was the quickest route to the unit they were hunting. But he added, "I wouldn't advise you to go that way. -The Gooks have it under observation and they shot KIRBY HOME RENOVATION SYSTEM For fret demonstration Dial 3-5804 Ivan Melvln, Distributor 3.95-5.95 O O O hell out of another jeep about an hour ago. Nothing But Contempt The boys debated for a moment and decided to take a chance. Mag gie was in the jeep. As soon as it moved out of earshot of the M. r. she said, with some irritation, "I have nothing but contempt for people like that. If you worry about oemg snot at, you a never get a story." Coming into Kimpo airfield one afternoon, she pointed to a bridge, "We were here last night," she said, "following the tanks when they took Kimpo. There was a lot "t fighting around this bridge." And she said, pretty much like a junior leaguer discussing the horse snow, "It was quite ex citing." She lived in her dirty slacks and shirt for weeks on end, ate out of cans, and swallowed the yel low dust without a murmur. At the press camps, she asked for exactly nothing in the way of privileges or amenities due her sex. Every two months or so, she would fly over to Tokyo, put on a dress get a manicure and have her hair done. Maggie is a very pretty girl, tall, slim and blonde, with nice blue eyes, and a win some, almost a little-girl, man ner. This Is wholly deceptive. On a job, she is ferociously competitive, and eternally driven by a rest less necessity to be wherever "the story" is. When the last war ended, she was in Paris. She speaks good French and knows the country well, and she could have stayed there. But she didn't. She was hell-bent to get to Berlin "be ccause there will be so much more news there." As a group, women reporters aae mighty good, Maggie ia one of the best. James Buchanan, 15th president of the United States, was a Fed eralist. His successor, Lincoln, wai a Republican. -...) ftfefrt - - 4 mi . , 'f Everybody loves Scotch Jjf ;V l&jr Htm'm highroad to fashion, the Iowroad to pric f2T- -l I ' PT1SS5f And repeated washing, make the River-shrunk "WA L " A - I ) Labor Supply, Demand Nearly Equal In County Employment in Douglas county has settled down to the level where the supply and demand are nearly equal in most classifications. Def inite shortages exist in certain skilled jobs and in the clerical field. This condition is expected to continue for the next 90 days. A few more vacancies are antici pated when school opens in early September. Information concerning the la bor situation is furnished by George T. Foster, manager of the Roseburg office of the state em ployment service. ' Available job openings at the end of July were approximately twenty-seven percent less than for the same period last year and num bered nearly the same as at the end of June. Fortv percent of these openings are in the trade and serv ice field, twenty-eight percent i n the lumber industry and the bal ance spread over other industries. Claims for unemployment insur ance benefits rose slightly as the new benefit year began on July 1. The annual Fourth of July vaca tion peirod, coupled with low hu midity conditions was also respon suble for the increase in claims filed.

The World Liberal union, meet ing at Uppsala, adopted its own "Uppsala appeal" calling o n men and womaaj all over the world to fight against any form of totali tarianism. The resolution said the Retftn spired world peace movement "aims at weakening the resist ance of the free world to Com munist fight against freedom and $eace." Other points in the resolution were that: "No government that holds its people by force can be said to have secured internal peace. No government which is at war with its own people can be said to be at peace with the rest of the world. "No lasting and real peace is possible so long as there are un democratic schemes to usurp the freedom of other nations and keep millions of men reduced to slav MAYTAG WASHERS .
