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."

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

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.

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.

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-

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 "

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."
DRY MILK
By adding 4 tablespoons of
dry milk to each cup of fluid
milk used in cooking, you get
twice as much food value as
when the fluid milk is used
alone. Try this double-milk
method when fixing soups,
mashed potatoes, and cereals.
