r n Salem, Oregon, Saturday, April 6, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Section 2 Pare 5 Anne Wheaton Ready to Work At'Man'sJob' Pressmen, Hagerty Say ' New . Secretary to -Do All Right ". B FRANCES .LEWINE WASHINGTON Wl - When Mrs. Anne, Wheaton moves into a small White House office May 1, a lot of people will be watching to see how. she'll do a man's job as 'he President's associate press secre tary. - ' Mrs. Wheaton, the first woman to get such a post, will have to work with a predominantly male press corps. For the past 30 years her major concern has been with women's organizations, mostly as director of women's publicity for the Re publican National Committee. But she's been dealing with the press for many years and is thoroughly experienced in public relations. ; All in Favor The word from newspapermen and women in Washington is prac tically unanimous in favor of "An nie," who will be the No. 2 press liaison with the President and the White House. Intelligent, capable, respected, trustworthy, even-tempered is what they had to say about her. Press Secretary James Hagerty, who will he Mrs. Wheaton'a new boss, says, "She's a pro." Mrs. Wheaton has plenty of know-how in politics. She's been to every GOP National Convention since 1940. She says she's watched women "build a niche for them selves" in politics to a point where they are a power sought by poli ticians. Succeeds Snyder She succeeds Murray Snyder, now in a top Defense Department press post. . . If she does the job of her pre decessor, she will be handling pic ture arrangements for the Presi dent and top visiting personalities at the White House, press re leases, details on presidential trips. It will probably be the rou tine, rather than policy-level oper ations. But, when Jim Hagerty is away, Mrs. Wheaton will be in charge of press queries. At times, she ma'' be called on to handle a news conference whore what she says or does could have international import. Veteran In Politics Mrs. Wheaton has been in politics ttracticallv since she was born. She is the oldest of nine children of the late John Williams, who was an assemblyman from Utica, N.Y., and a labor commissioner under five New YorK governors. She started out as a newspaper woman and became one of the first women political correspond ents at the New York state capi tal in Albany. She has been personal press rep resentative for the wives of presi dential candidates Wendell Willkie and Thomas Dewey. Dur ing the 1052 campaign she took on a similar job with Mrs. Eisenhow er. There was talk then that she would be brought into the White House to continue that role for fhc First Lady. Instead, she now moves onto the President's team Social Work Group Elects Salem People PORTLAND Ifl The 40th an nual state Conference of Social Work has been told that "saving lives without assuring those saved to live a decent life is certainly no social action."
