Now we have a fresh young generation of women who want careers in politics. They have political backgrounds their mo thers can't match. They grew up, unlike their mothers, in households where women voted as often as the men and did more of the door-bell ring drug ery than men had time for in political campaigns. A training course for these young women with political am bitions opens here this week, specifically designed for the girl who thinks she would like to run for office some day. The first half dozen girls to sign up for the course have in teresting similarities. They have the- patience to take the long route to p,ublic office; they have demonstrated they are willing to work hard as volun teers in political campaigns; they are well educated and in telligent and in almost every case their own mothers were ac tive political volunteer work ers. Hard Work "We assume their enthusiasm will last," said Helen Mobert, a member of the Women's Nation al Republican club which is sponsoring the course for its own junior members. "But they have chosen a terrifically hard future. It is hard physically and emotionally. We want them to understand what they're up against." The club agreed to organize the course for its junior group of women members, ranging in age from 17 to 35, after numer ous requests. They contacted eight high-ranking women in politics, including Sen. Margar et Chase Smith (R-Me.), Rep. Katharine St. George (R-N.Y.), and Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (R-Mass.), for advice. Mrs. St. George sent word from Washington that "you must have a sense of humor and the hide of a rhinoceros. Politics is no place for the over-sensitive." Mrs. Smith's words of advice, which will be read to the ambi tious young women at one of the classes, reminded them that "Politics is simply home opera tion on a large scale. Home is government in miniature. The operation of government is not unlike in principle the basic op eratipn' of keepirjg a home well regulated." The Qualities 4 Mrs. Rogers listed the qualit ies indispensible to a woman politician as, "character, cour age, health, patience, intelli gence and a desire to serve." Barbara Witzell, a 23-year-old "Girl Friday" in an advertising agency here and some of the 25 young women expected to show up for the first class tomorrow night, says she "certainly" hopes "lin.f. -lift tV- ti iV. T OF 3 J2 MS to run for Congress some day. Womanlike, though, these young political aspirants re serve the right to change their minds. They do not put a career above everything. One of the early registrants dropped out three days ago. She got engaged. "Would your boy friend ob ject to your going into politics?" she was asked when she resign ed from the course. She had been one of the girls most adam ant about wanting to run for of fice. "Oh, no," she said, "but I just don't think I'll have time." 4 .
