United Press Correspondent
New York U.R) In 1954
women discussed such topics as
the high price of coff ee lower
taxes on some so-called luxuries,
a new polio vaccine, a Supreme
Court action which would affect
many of their children, and how
so many of their friends were
either running for office or cam
paigning. A number of women scrawled
signatures across the year's 365
days qames such as that of
Genevieve de Garlard-Terraube,
Marilyn Monroe, Emilie Dionne,
Margaret Chase Smith, Marilyn
Bell, Queen Elizabeth, Bobo
Rockefeller, and Lee Ann Meri
wether. One mere male left his mark
in this feminine world. His
name Christian Dior.
In politics, 1954 was a banner
year for the women. A record
number of congresswomen 16
were elected in November,
many of them at the expense of
men.
.Women Active in Capital
One was Margaret Chase
Smith, Republican of Maine, who
in January will begin her 14th
year in Congress six of those
years as a senator.
The year saw plenty of Wash
ington activity of special interest
to women. Congress voted a re
duction in the federal excise tax
on jewelry, furs, cosmetics, .lug
gage, admission tickets and other
assorted items.
The U.S. Department of labor
reported there were 19,500,000
women holding outside jobs a
new high. The government
changed the date when these
working women will file income
tax returns. The deadline now
is" April 15, instead of March
15. The new income tax law also
gave bigger tax breaks to work
ing women with children, to
widows and older folks.
The Supreme Court ruled that
segregation of Negro and white
children in schools is contrary to
the Constitution.
Coffee Prices Probed
The government began an in
vestigation when coffee prices
soared to more than $1 a pound.
The industry blamed frost and a
short supply. As the year ended,
the price was on the decline.
The cost of living continued
to drop. The latest government
figures as the year ended showed
the level at its lowest since June,
1953.
The government reported the
nation's birth rate was up, and
the death rate down.
The polio vaccine produced by
Dr. Jonas Salk of the, University
of Pittsburgh was used widely
in '54, but the year was one of
the worst in the history of the
disease. The National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis esti
mated the case total at 40,000,
topped only by 1949 and 1952
Washington played host in
1954 to two famous women-
Genevieve de Galard-Terraube,
the "angel of Dien Bien Phu,"
and Queen Mother Elizabeth,
mother of Britain's queen.
Only Woman in Fort
The "angel" was the only
woman among 12,000 embattled
French "soldiers who made the
last stand at the Indo-China
fortress against the Communists.
She was captured when the Reds
took Dien Bien Phu, but later
was freed.
Congress invited her to , visit
Washington, the first time such
hospitality has been extended of
ficially to a woman.
Queen Mother Elizabeth, 54,
visited New York and Washing
ton in late October and early
November. And although she
was on a constant round of offi
cial engagements, she still found
time to behave like any other
tourist. She took in one Broad
way hit, and went on a shopping
tour ot New York stores.
Hollywood Marriage Center
A high total of the year's mar
riages were in the movie colony.
In January Marilyn Monroe, the
most famous blonde hi a decade,
was married to baseball's Joe
DiMaggio, but the marriage end
ed in divorce in October.,
Other marriages in the enter
tainment world: actress Pier An
geli and singer Vic Damone;
Joan Benny, daughter of come
dian Jack Benny and Seth Ba
ker, a New York broker; Suzan
Ball, the actress who had one
leg amputated because of cancer,
and actor Dick Long; actress
June Haver and Fred MacMur-
ray; Oscar-winning Audrey Hep
burn and actor Mel Ferrer; and
Linda Darnell and Philip Lieb
mann, a New York brewer. :
Divorce took its toll of mar
riages among the famous. Blonde
Bobo Rockefeller won a divorce
and a record $5,000,000 settle
ment from Winthrop Rockefel
ler. And actress Susan Hayward
was divorce from Jess Barker.
Other Famous Women ,
These were some other names
on the distaff side in 1954:
Marilyn Bell '. . . the 16-year-old
Canadian school girl became
the first person to swim the 32
treacherous miles across Lake
Ontario. .' '
Margaret Trum ah . . . the
daughter of a former president
made her stage debut in sum
mer stock.
Lee Ann Meriwether . . . the
19-year-old brunette from San
Francisco was named Miss
America of 1955. -
Death came in '54 to Emilie
Dionne, one of the famous quin
tuplets of Callander, Ont., and
to Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen
Rohde, the first American wom
an to serve as envoy to a for
eign country. "
In fashion, the year's biggest
stir was caused by Christian
Dior, who in 1947 gave women
the "new look." This year, it
was the flat look.
