o 1. A. Woman Scientist Is Space Pioneer By Mill D. KENDALL Vnited Paesi Corespondent West Log Angeles W Dr. tfildegarde Kallmann, a German-born scientist at the Uni sersit?' of California at Los An geles, makes the movies' version of space travel a little more be lievable. In the movie world of the fu ture, there's almost always one brainy woman scientist among the crewcut adventurers who "blast off" to outer space in search of little green men. Dr. Kallmann "Hilde" to her associates could play that role with ease. She's a 'space pioneer" with her head figura tively in the ionosphere, some 60-200 miles up. As a theoretical geophysicist, her concern is with the charac teristics of the upper atmo sphere. She is a member of the rocket panel of the National Committee of the International Geophysical year and a consult ant to the Rand Corporation, a non-profit organization which does research for the Air Force. Head in Clouds "My head is in the clouds, but my feet are on the ground," said the red-haired scientist. "I'm content to let instruments in the rockets gather first-hand data. This serves my purposes just as well." Dr. Kallmann attended the University of Berlin and the Technische Hochschule, where she studied philosophy and de veloped an interest in mathe matics and physics. She and her husband. Curt Kallmann, a retired corporation lawyer, came to the United States from Sweden in 1940 and moved to the West Coast where she earned her bachelor, master, and doctor's degrees in physics at UCLA. Dr. Kallmann was the first woman to get a doctorate in physics at UCLA. She is associat ed with Dr. Joseph Kaplan in her research at the university. In her work, she has met some of the world greatest scientific brains and counted the late Al bert Einstein as one of her iriends. "He was a very sweet man," she said. "He often said that America treated foreign scien tists better than they might have been treated at home in giv ing them an opportunity to work and study." While Dr. Kallmann may have her head in the clouds at worK, sues strictly down to earth at home. "Talking shop at home is ta boo," she said. "I know little about law and my husband knows little about geophysics. We share a common interest in music." Wardrobe-Dress 9086 :.' I j:;jf ; 10 20 : .

Parents Can Spot Th Talented Child Chicago (W Parents can play a big part in "discovering" the talented child says a North western University education professor. The parents are in a position to recognize gifts in their chil dren at an early age. Dr. Paul Witty says in the magazine Na tional Parent-Teacher. If the child accurately uses a large vocabulary, is interested in books, can concentrate longer than most children, learns early to read or is adept at drawing, music or other art forms, then the child has unusual talent, Witty said. "Although genius usually will assert itself," Witty said, "many talents may be undetected and go to waste because of a com placent viewpoint which allows latent talent to be overlooked ALL IN THE EAR What you see m this girl's ear is Sonotone's new hear ing aid complete.

SP 2-5904 Art Collection All on Stamps By BOB HAUGHT United Press Corespondent Muskoeee. Okla. W A Muskogee doctor's wife has a collection of art ranging from drawings of the ice age to works of such contemporaries as Pi casso. The collection is unique in that it is all on stamps. Mrs. Lawrence S. McAlister started collecting stamps in 1949 at the suggestion of her- hus band. In slightly more than eight years, she has established her self as an authority in the field. She is editor of the Fine Arts Philatelist, a world-wide bulle tin dealing with the visual arts on stamps. Mrs. McAllister said she found general stamp collecting Unpractical since stamps would be hard to file and the collec tion would of necessity, be in complete in specific categories. Stamp Specialization "I decided to collect by sub jects and I chose music and medicine," she said. "My hus band is a physician, and I had hoped to interest him in stamp collections with the medical stamps, but this proved fruitless." Mrs. McAlister concentrated on fine arts stamps, including painting, sculpture and archi ture, reproduced on stamps. Her interest in writing about her collection led her to edit the 14-page bi-monthly publication which has subscribers in coun tries from Australia to the Bel gian Congo. Catalogues 25,000 Mrs. McAlister estimated she had catologued upwards of 23, 000 stamps. Mrs. McAlister has built up a library of travel guide books, art books and magazines and a file of correspondence with other collectors. "Getting the information on the story behind the stamp is often more interesting than get ting the stamp," she said. She advised anyone consider ing the hobby to start their col lections "just for the fun of it." "Don't collect with the idea of making money, because you won't be able to do it," she said. i Retirement Home Easy Life For Elderly By MARY PRIME United Press Correspondent New York W A new idea in housing a "retirement house" opens a door to older persons who want their own home but can't keep up their present one. The retirement house features special devices for safety and convenience designed especially for older persons or those who have retired because of poor health. It uses many ideas which retired families said they want in a home. The man behind the idea is a retired lawyer, N. R. Field, of Boynton Beach, Fla. Field is founder and president of the Re tirement Foundation of Amer ica, a non-profit organization which promotes the best inter ests of the nation's more than 14 million persons over 65 years of age. "Trouble Bells" When Tield retired from law, he became active in developing housing projects in the West and Southwest. He said during a visit to Man hattan that he got the idea for the retirement house after meet ing problems of older customers who wanted a house which they could run without help. He talked with hundreds of families, local architects and en gineers and helped the Florida Development Commission con duct a nation-wide survey on most-wanted and needed items in a home. A two-bedroom, ranch-type model house at Boynton Beach is the result. It costs $13,500 and includes a private swimming pool and land. Special features include "trou ble bells" in bedroom and living room to summon help from neighbors in case of emergency, bathtubs with built-in seats and grabbars. and electrical outlets under window sills to eliminate stooping. No Stairs Light switches are luminous, and yard and approaches are floodlighted. The house has no stairs or thresholds. Glass is used abund antly to aid failing vision. Glass entrance halls and window walls in living and bedrooms admit three times the amount of day light entering most houses, Field said. Sink, stove and refrigerator are placed side by side, with the wall refrigerator and oven at chest level. Pantry and closets have eye-level shelves. Doors are extra-wide to per mit passage of wheelchairs. And the swimming pool is built with a graduated level up to five feet deep. Grab-rails are on all sides. The pool also has a low angle ramp entrance and a slip-proof floor. Colors are up to the indi vidual, but Field said he has found that most retired couples prefer pastel shades. Oldest House in Washington Defended by Women's Group By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press Correspondent Washington OP The oldest house in Washington, destroyed once by the British 143 years ago, faces destruction again at the hands of Congress. And Congress is likely to en- counter as much opposition within the old red brick walls as did the British. This time the fight will be led by the National Women's party, the present oc cupants and a group experienced on the political battlefield. Cause of the upcoming strug gle is a bill introduced by Sen. Carl Hayden (D.-Ariz.) which would add one and one-half blocks of property, including his toric Alva Belmont house, to the Senate side of the Capitol grounds. The lawmakers, already wait ing completion of a new Senate office building to help take care of mushrooming committees and staffs, have been eyeing the nearby Belmont House land for future needs. Support Grows "It's a sad thing," says Miss Alice Paul, founder and hono rary chairman of the Women's party, "to see buildings which have so much history woven around them destroyed." She has rallied a growing number of House and Senate votes each year for her pro posed "women's rights" amend ment to the Constitution. And she feels that "public support also has grown" for preservation of Belmont house. The women were joined by the American Society of Archi tects, the Capitol Hill Restora tion society and other historical preservation groups to success- tuny beat oil three previous Congressional attempts to flat ten their headquarters. They hope sufficient support will be mustered again this time and are awaiting date of a hear ing on the bill to rally their forces of opposition publicly. Last session s Din tmally was Boston (IB Lady, how would I reported out of committee but ! you like to keep your house Sunday, July 14, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN 20-Minute Plan For Cleaning House never reached a vote. Belmont house is named for Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont who donated a previous site to the Women's party. That site was destroyed to make way for the Supreme court building, so the party, which moved into Bel mont house in 1929, would be evicted for a second time if Hayden's bill passed. The house, believed to be the oldest in Washington, was part of the original grant given Lord Baltimore by the King of Eng land and reportedly provided the only resistance to the British when they marched into Wash ington in the summer of 1814. A National Historical maga zine account says "Commodore Barney and his men fired on the advancing forces from the upper stories, killing and wound- j ing several of the enemy and ! killing General Ross' horse. This i last indignity so enraged the general that he immediately or dered the house burned." The house was rebuilt several years later with one center por tion erected in the 17th century still intact. The house today also holds mementos of the women's rights struggle. Among them are a desk which belonged to Susan B. An thony and a key to the old Dis trict of Columbia jail temDO- rary home of some enthusiastic ! suffragists during a 1917 demon- i stration which included picket- i ing the White House. 1 spick and span by devoting just 20 minutes a day to house clean ing? It can be done, according to one housewife who submitted her novel plan to the Boston Globe's household department. She signed herself "20-Minute Gal." "We feel we are giving you a practical working plan that can be fitted into any household." she wrote. "It is not meant for the perfectionists. Those gals can take care of themselves. It is meant for the overworked, the half sick and the disorgan ized . . . "You can make it a fascinat ing game of beating the clock. You'll never know how effective 20 minutes a day cleaning can be unless you give it a fair trial . . . "The most important thing is to do these 20 minutes as soon as you can in the morning, be fore you are tired from other chores and before the interrup tions of midday. "If it goes against the grain at first, like cleaning a small section of a dish cupboard and putting gleaming glassware right back beside dirty ones, it will -ear off and after a while you amuse you at the madness of it. "The whole secret is to know enough to stop at the end of 20 minutes. If you do not, you are fooling yourself and it defeats the plan's purpose " PASS THE SYRUP PLEASE New York m For blueberry pancakes, place 1 or 2 table spoons of the fresh berries, crush ed and sweetened, in the center of each pancake.

Researchers Change Opinions of Frozen Bread Uses in Lunches Chicago 'IP) T h e American Institute of Baking says one cool lunch box idea is not so cool" after all. The institute made studies to determine whether freezing bread will chill it sufficiently to help refrigerate other foods in the lunch pail and to keep sandwich fillings fresh longer. It used a variety of sand wiches, kinds usually found m lunch pails cheese, summer sausage and chicken salad made with frozen bread. The sandwiches were wrapped in dividually in heavy waxed paper and stored at temperatures rang ing from 45 to 106 degrees Fahr enheit. They were checked at half-haur intervals for flavor and appearance. At the first check period, the institute said, the bread in all the sandwiches had thawed. So its capacity to cool surrounding foods in the lunch pail to any degree "would be doubtful. The checks also showed that sandwiches stored under condi tions comparable to a hot sum mer day were not edible after three hours. The institute con cluded that "it is best to carry sandwiches to the picnic in a portable refrigerator or keep the lunch box in a cool place."
