who would make election
news only if she decided
against running, the women
have happily signed up again.
It was an aide of Mrs. Rog
ers who quipped that the situ
ation means "the men just
can't take it."
The List
His 75-year-old boss, who
has served 17 consecutive
terms and ranks 10th to
Speaker Sam Rayburn i n
years in the House, has filed
again. Three of her male col
leagues from Massachusetts
have decided to drop by the
political wayside.
' Rep. Kathryn Granahan (D
Pa.) is one of the House new
comers who has followed Mrs.
Rogers' lead. She won in the
May primary.
The other incumbent wom
en, besides Granahan, Rogers
and Knutson who have an
nounced are:
Republicans: Mrs. Frances
P. Bolton, Ohio; Mrs. Cecil
Harden, Indiana; Mrs. Katha
rine St. George, New York;
and Mrs. Florence P. Dwyer,
New Jersey.
Democrats: Mrs. Iris Blitch,
Georgia; Mrs. Martha W. Grif
fiths, Michigan; Mrs. Edith
Green, Oregon; Mrs. Elizabeth
Kee, West Virginia; Mrs. Edna
F. Kelly, New York; Mrs.
Gracie Pfost, Idaho, and Mrs.
Lenour Sullivan, Missouri.
In the Senate, where six
men all Republicans have
decided not to run, the lone
woman, Sen. Margaret Chase
Smith, has two more years in
her term.
The Democratic National
Committee reports that five
new Democratic women so far
have won primaries and are in
races for House seats along
with the nine Democratic in-
(cumbents. .
Bryan's Granddaughter
Included in the group is
Mrs. Rudd Brown in Califor
nia s 21st District a grand
daughter of William Jennings
Bryan and daughter of a for
mer congresswoman from
Florida, Mrs Ruth Bryan
Owen Rhode.
Four other Democrat wom
en have entered primaries and
there may be more before the
last state filing date, July 31.
Neither the Republican Na
tional Committe nor the Re
publican Congressional Cam
paign Committee has a com
plete tally of new GOP wom
en candidates. But one is Mrs.
Lawrence H. Smith, widow of
the late congressman from Ra
cine, Wis., who is running for
the seat her husband held for
17 years.
If all 15 incumbents and one
or more of the newcomers are
successful, the number of
women in Congress would
equal or top the record high of
16 reached the first session of
the 4th Congress, before the
death in 1955 of Rep. Vera
Buchanan (D-Pa.)

will be shown at the Port
land Art Museum July 16
August 3 in the "Contem
porary Japan" exhibition es
pecially created for the mu
semu by the Japan Trade cen
ter of San Francisco.
Exhibits will range from
original museum pieces val
ued at hundreds of dollars
to charming small household
accessories that anyone may
own from purely decorative
hangings, figures, pictures and
vases to such articles of every
day use as tea cups and ash
traps from objects of dis
tinctively Japanese custom
like hibachi and sake bottles
and covered lacquer soup
bowls to things designed for
western export, such as
carved wooden salad sets.
A number of pieces shown
are unique original creations
of "name" artists, wrought
each by hand, never to- be du
plicated. Others are of mod
ern factory production.
All have been selected, first
for their distinction and beau
ty of design and for authen
tic merit, second for their in
terest to westerners and their
adaptability to western use
and decoration. Of several
hundred articles shown from
a bamboo bird cage to a tem
ple dancer's mask almost
every one would make an in
teresting addition to Ameri
can furnishings, and are rep

throughout the United States.
Handicapped
Oyer Many Disabilities
New York There are sev
eral million homemakers in
the United State who are
physically handicapped in one
way or another. How many of
these women have been learn
ing to overcome their handi
caps, and live in a world of
unhandicapped people, make
a heart-warming story of cour
age and determination, re
ports the Institute of Life In
surance. Handicapped homemakers
are much more apt to be ac
tive today than in the past,
partly because of advances in
rehabilitation, and partly be
cause of the development of
centers where special techni
cal counseling is available for
disabled homemakers.' One re
cent count reveals there are
about 40 such centers across
the U. S.A. where counseling
is now under way or, is .soon
to be initiated.
"Men and women can do
amazing things despite handi
caps," states Mrs. Julia S. Jud
son, who is a consultant in
home making at the Institute
of Physical Medicine and Re
habilitation. The Institute is a
unit of the New York Univer-sity-Bellevue
Medical center,
and is widely known for its
work with handicapped per
sons. In earlier years, Mrs. Jud
son points out, handicaps kept
many a woman bedridden,
and often meant that a mem
ber of the family was tied
down in the home to help care
for her. Today's approach is
to show a disabled woman
how she can accept homemak
ing responsibilities, and carry
them out within the limits of
her capacity.

Fabric's Emotional Aooeal
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York (UPI)
There's more than meets the
eye to the. fabrics we buy.
Silk, for instance,, is "sens
uously and sexually exciting,"
says one well known author
ity on why we purchase what
we do. .
. We women
select materi
als not" only
for coverage,
but on the ba
sis of emotion
al appeal says
Dr. Ernest
President of
the Institute
for Motiva-
Gay Pauley t i o n a 1 Re
search, Croton - on - Hudson,
N.Y.
Dichter says that each of
the basic textiles creates a
variety of psychological reac
tion. Writing in the current
issue of "American Fabrics,'
a magazine for the textile
trade, Dichter listed some of
fabrics' effect on us. He fur
ther expanded on his observa
tions , in an interview.
Women Material Conscious
"Women especially are al
most as conscious of the ma
terial they wear as they are
of their own bodies." said
Dichter. "Instinctively a worn
an feels that the material she
wears, or its design, reveals
her entire personality."
As Dichter has figured us
out, we like silk not only be
cause it is "sensuously and
sexually exciting" but it is
"personal, intimate and re
vealing," is the "standard of
excellence for refinement," is
Women Win
would like to save energy in
their housework, but it be
comes absolutely necessary
for a woman to simplify her
housework if she becomes
handicapped by an accident,
by age, or by an ailment such
as arthritis or heart disease
Automatic washing machines
and driers are of considerable
help, although it may be nec
essary to elevate the drier to
make loading and unloading
more accessible. Much house
work, especially ironing and
food preparation, can be done
sitting down. The new built
in oven and range units now
make it possible for cooking
equipment to be located at
any desirable level. Built-in
sink units can be installed,
along with lowered counter
tops, at just the right height
for energy saving.
"We have totted up 120 'lit
tle things' that many handi
capped women have been able
to learn to do things that
many handicapped women
have been able to learn to do
things that most of us take
for granted," Mrs. Judson
says. "Imagine, for instance,
what is involved for a woman
who does not have full use of
her arms to brush her teeth,
or to wash her feet, to drive
her car, to apply lipstick and
other makeup. Or for the
woman who does not have
full leg mobility, to get off
and on a bus, particularly tne
ones with high steps."
Even the extremely handi
capped woman, bedridden be
cause of complete immobility,
can be a working homemaker
to a degree, Mrs. Judson says.
Rehabilitation centers teach
many such women to become
"home executives," with the
responsibility of planning and
supervising household affairs.
This would include general
supervision of buying, making
up shopping lists and main
taining the family budget.
Active homemakers often
take household planning for
granted, and perhaps in the
ordinary course of events, do
not devote as much time as
they might to this area of fam
ily living. A severely handi
capped homemaker can play

a cool, gracious luxury and
is "regal and exotic.",--
Cotton, Dichter said, is
"friendly - without effusive
ness or ostentation," indicates
"innocence with a promise of
underlying sexuality," is
"cool and calm with a prom
ise of hidden inner warmth,"
and is "clean and pure."
Wool Called Masculine
Wool is "masculine strong,
rugged, protecting, flexible
and sexually attractive," its
tough exterior implies "a
warm, tender life beneath the
surface,", it is "sedate, con
servative, cultured" and rep
resents a-"respectable group
life."
Linen, he said, has "the ap
peal of elegance."
What about the synthetics
the nylons, dacrons and or
lons? Dichter said that "as
might be expected, they lack
this type of cultural and sen
sory appeal" although, they
may acquire it as we "become
more familiar with them."
"But today I think perhaps
the chief appeal ... is their
helpfulness for the housewife
actually looks forward to the
ease of care they promise,"
he said.
