REPUBLICAN FOR STATE
REPRESENTATIVE
If you want PLAIN GOOD GOVERNMENT without frills or
extravagance, and a warm, sympathetic understanding
of YOUR problems, EVE NYE should be YOUR choice. She
believes in . . .
1. That government should be kept as close to the people
as possible.
2. That the state has an obligation to its citizens to
(a) Provide personal and property protection.
(b) Promote conditions which offer the maximum op
portunities for economic, physical and cultural
well-being.
To carry out these broad responsibilities, she believes
that we must:
T. Adopt a tax structure which distributes the burden
more equitably than presently.
2. Provide a favorable tax climate for industry, both
large and small for more and better job opportunities.
3. Pass laws which protect the rights of both labor and
management.
4. Provide for wise use of natural resources.
5. Assume a humane and long-range approach to social
problems particularly with regard to the aged and
the handicapped.
6. Provide a system of education which will develop the
highest potential in each student, eliminating extrava
gance and duplication through improved administra-'
tion and organizational procedures.

Cities Report Shortage
Of Capable Domestic Help
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
New York OP) The wom
an looking for a capable, full
time maid may find her if
the domestic gets her own
room and bath, a television
set, air-conditioning and regu
lar hours.
For today's household help
er can just about write her
own employment ticket in
most sections of the country,
despite all the labor-saving
devices supposed to eliminate
the need for servants. '
A United Press spotcheck
of major cities showed gen
eral shortage of capable do
mestics. Only Dallas and San
Francisco reported a surplus.
In San Francisco, the surplus
was in the domestic who
wanted to "live out."
But the numoer of domes
tics has increased rapidly in
tne post-war years, says the
U.S. Labor Department. It
said there now are 2,328,000
full and part-time workers.
compared with 1,922,000 in
1952 and 1,714,000 in 1947.
Agencies give two major
reasons why householders' ap
plications go unfilled, even
with the increase.
More Families Seeking Help
More families can afford
and are hiring part-time as
sistance. And the increase
isn't enough, because workers
who at one time may have
taken domestic jobs have
found better pay in factory,
office or store.
"I've at least 1,000 unfilled
applications, some of them on
file for six months," said An
thony Wagner, president of a
New York agency. "There's
a big demand for European
labor. Some housewives even
offer to pay the fare over for
a prospect."
"Housewives are begging for
help," reported - the Miami
branch of the Florida State
Employment agency.
"Today s domestic has be
come a specialis t, said
Jacques Taylor, whose firm
hires servants on a regular
50-week a year basis, and then
assigns them as job applica
tions come in. "What's become
of the maid-of-all-work? She's
drawing social security, that's
what."
"Most maids don't want to
keep children," reported an
agency m ruasnvme. Ana
they don't want to cook if
they have to clean, and don't
want to clean if they have
to cook."
New York agencies said the
specialist most in demand is
the housekeeper, and certain
ly the "housekeeper wanted"
ads are plentiful in the classi
fieds.
One suburban New York
housewife looking for a house
keeper advertised, ". . . .
pleasant, congenial family : . .
new, air - conditioned ranch
house, own room, bath, TV,
other help."
Agencies said most domes
tics no longer want to "live
in.' Smaller homes of today
provide less privacy, and they
like the idea of regular hours.
In some areas this, means the
householder adjusts her sched
ule to the domestic's. But not
so in Chicago and Hartford.
The day that happens, we'll
be out of business," said a
Klalt Miss Carolyn Hillyer, Miss Beverly Beach, Miss
Janet Bohl; (front row, left to right) Miss Gaye Daniel,
Miss Susan Hubbard and Miss Janet Ward. Guests at the
dinner noted that Miss Zundel is the only blonde of the
group and that she wears her hair longer than the other
contestants.
Chicago agency.
Salaries vary from city to
city, but the average paid the
maid who lives out runs from
$1 to $1.75 an hour, plus
lunch and carfare. A house
keeper will earn from $50 a
week on up, with meals and
rooms included. And Wag
ner's agency said a couple tak
ing jobs as butler and house
keeper in the East will earn
from $450 to $700 a month.
Mrs. Harriet Buell, an in
terviewer for the California
State Department of Employ
ment, said she could recall
when good help was even
scarcer than today. She told
of one young Irish-born girl
who would stare into space
as she listened to Mrs. Buell
describe a job.
"It finally got jne," said
Mrs. Buell. "I asked her, 'do
you want the position or
not?' " The girl answered, "I
have to find out if the spirit
moves me." Said Mrs. Buell,
"usually it did not."
