Nelson, Port Woman as U.S. President Unlikely Soon,Say Leaders Bt PATRICIA WIGGINS Washington-(UPD-"Men will walk on the moon before a woman is elected president of the United States." That view, expressed by a top GOP woman politician,' is the most prevalent one held by politicians of each sex hi both major parties today, in spite of the growing number of women in the once all-male political field. However, some, like Mrs. Clare B. Williams, author of the remark and assistant chairman and director of women's activities of the Republican National Committee, think the statement doesn't rule out a "Madame President" in the future. But others, most males too wise in the ways of politics to be quoted by name, doubt that woman will ever hold down the nation's No. 1 job even if science does put a man on the moon. Perhaps the most emphatic comment against the idea of a woman in the White House came from a world-famous capital figure (male) who, de clining to be quoted, complain ed, "There are enough things In the world to worry about today without thinking of a woman as president." Mrs. Williams sees "no pos sibility" of a president in pet ticoats for the next 50 years. But eventually, she said, "when an outstanding woman comes along, who has training for the job equal to any man's, the day will come." That, day won't arrive, she added, until women have in creased their activity in state and federal governments, de veloped a "leadership poten tial," and generally built up a confidence in their own abil ities. Today, she said, women's confidence isundermined from the time they are little girls, listening to admonitions that only men can "use a ham mer, fly an airplane, keep track of money"-ror be presi dent.

Mrs. Williams counterpart on the Democratic National committee, Mrs. Katie Louch heim, agreed that if the right woman comes along at the right time she could be elect ed chief executive. But Mrs. Louchheim doubt ed it will happen in her life time. On the male side, few want ed to take the question seri ously. Sen. Prescott Bush (R-Conn.) for example, quipped in the only comment he chose to be quoted on, "I doubt that dur ing my lifetime the country will be fortunate enough to have a president of the femi nine sex." Sen. John L. McClellan (D Ark.) and other gentlemanly Southerners ducked ,an an swer to the question. The most frequently ex pressed serious doubts about a woman president were that a woman's role as mother, wife, and housew i f e is too great an obstacle for a mar ried woman to overcome en route to the White House. And, the politicians agreed, lack of a family would be too great a handicap for an un married woman to overcome if her name ever got on a ballot. land, department commander of the American Legion; Glenn Howe, Portland, Legion department service officer; Eu gene Orr, Medford, national rehabilita tion chairman for the Legion; (at back) Keegan Townsend, Medford, district com mander, and William Friend, commander of the Grants Pass post.

"How to Get Tips Given by Magazine By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York-(UPD-The subject for today is how to get a raise. Now that I have your un TW !m divided atten- 1 added that this, next to how to get a man, undoubt edly is one of the most im portant prob lems facing the young Gay Pauley working girl. Or, for that matter the older working girl. Or, tor that mat ter, just any person whose salary never quite keeps up with the cost of living.

Cheese-Apple Cake Makes Good Dessert New York -(DPD Cheese and apple cake go together like cheese and apple pie. Sift 2 cups flour with 2 tea spoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Add Va. cup milk, 2 beaten eggs, and V cup melted butter and mix until just blended. Spread over bottom of greased 11-by-7-by-2-inch baking pan. Top with 4 medium apples that have been pared, cored, sliced and mixed with 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and Vi cup flour. Cover with V4 cup (about IV ounces) crumbled blue cheese. Bake in 375-degree oven 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Serve warm or cold with cream. Bean Salad Marinate canned blue lake green beans in tart French dressing with a little instant minced onion. Drain, and serve as a luncheon salad with deviled hard cooked, eggs, pickled beets and a scoop of cottage cheese. This hearty salad is a whole meal when you add hot biscuits and glasses of milk. Raisin Relish A cup of sweet, sunny-flavored raisins, a few drops of mint extract and some India relish make a memorable ac companiment to roast, lamb, baked ham or chicken. For ex tra flavor, chop the raisins using a French knife. Blend ing them with a few drops of oil before chopping will help prevent them from sticking to the blade of the knife. A Raise" making the right pitch starts out logically enough, with tins on how to make the wrong pitch. It lists six approaches guaranteed not to extract more money from manage ment. How Not To Start Dont' start with: The subtle hint. "It's so hard to make ends meet these days, isn't it, Mr. Blank. The cost of living has gone up again and I wonder where it will all end." Not in a raise for you, sweetie. The poor little me ap proach: ."I thought I could go to California on my vacation, but I guess I can't afford it." (He gets enough of this from his wife). The petulant, you prom ised approach: "You said if the Smith and Smythe deal went through that . . ." You are imagining things; I men tioned a raise? The all other girls ap proach: "Betty told me she got a $5 raise this week and so did Mary . . ." If you really want to know, dear, you aren't worth as much as either of 'em . . . Old Dog Tray The Old Dog Tray ap proach: "You wouldn't remember of course, Mr. Blank, but then nobody has been around this office as long as I have." You do look tired. Why don't you go home, and send that cute blonde in to take some letters? The out and out black mail approach: "I've been of fered another job at a better salary and with electric type writer and . . ." (Congratula tions. I'm sure you'll be very happy there). Now, for the accent on the positive. "Today's ' Secretary" said that timing is important. "You would not, for example, pop the vital question just as he's about to dash off to a meeting with the big boss," it said. "Neither will you nab him when he's tired, hungry, an noyed with the big boss, with his wife, his best friend, his best customer, himself, or an noyed with jwu. "It is better to ask for a raise when the company is doing well, not when a perio dic economy wave shows busi ness is bad. Be Business-Like "Be as businesslike in ask ing for a raise as your boss is in presenting a sales pitch to a prospective customer. Give him a summary of the year's work you have engaged in, setting down the most out standing results . . ." Point out what new skills you have added to your repertoire, editing speeches, making charts and graphs And remind him that you've stayed a little while after hours in emergencies, or that you've put into effect dollar saving short cuts. If all the above fails, you might put on further pressure by reminding him, and thee are suggestions NOT from "Today's Secretary," that the coffe for his coffee break is hot and always on time; That each year you spend several of your lunch hours shopping fo his childrens' Christmas presents; That if it weren't for you, he would forget flowers for his wife on wedding anniver saries; And that you are the one who fibs that he's "in confer ence" to an important tele phone caller, when he in truth is right at his desk contem plating a hangover.
