Mrs. Blgalow Is de partment president, of In. auxiliary in Oregon, ' Duties of U.S. Treasurer Listed as Administrative By ROSE McKEE f ...... Washington-Mrs. Elizabeth Rudel Smith, appointed by President Kennedy as the new , Treasurer of the United States, oversees 'probably the biggest checking account of any woman In the world. Few realize that her office operates a banking service for all branches of the Gov ernment except the military, It issues about 450. million checks a year. - '' The bank balance ot public money for which Mrs. Smith la responsible amounted on a . recent day to $6,014,679, ' 013.31. : However, Mrs. Smith Is bet ter known to most people be cause her signature Is on all , the paper money Issued by the Treasury Department since : Jan. 30, the date she took office. Her name seldom an . pears on the check, which usually bear the signature of a disbursing officer. Administratis Work f Mrs. Smith, an attractive brunette of SO, said ahe and the public money "never get .very close , together." The work of her office is admin istrative and, she said, "I am slowly catching on to it, with an enormous amount of help from other people." Asked if she ever had any trouble with her own check ing account, Mrs. Smith thought she was "no better and no worse than any wo man with her personal check ing account,?; But, she stressed, "I give much, much more attention to this, for " this is public -money and must be handled with great care." She added, with a shrug, "My money is only mine," ' Among decisions la which the California Democrat has participated since becoming Treasurer of the United States, was to install a new electronics computer, It re cords checks at the rate ot 6,000 a minute. The woman ' who keeps track of so many check, at least theoretically, has, ot all things, a bachelor ot arts de gree in Far Eastern Ctvlllza tlon. From 1948 to 1980, she was a reporter and feature writer on the San Rafael, Calif., Independent Journal. Active In Democratic politics for the last 10 years, she was assistant labor commissioner in California -just prior to her Washington appointment. She lives in the Georgetown section of Washington, in a furnished home she is renting, She plans to rent furnished her own home in Kentfleld, Calif. Mrs. Smith told the Nation al Association ot Home Build ers that, surprisingly, the two nomes nave some similar features. Both living rooms are in the same color tones-soft browns with blending greens, and both have the same "rest ful and comfortable" atmos phere. Both look out onto walled . gardens. Both have fireplaces, which Mrs. Smith would never want to be with out. Two Children The Washington home, found for her by a friend, "is small enough so that I do not feel i rattle around by my self" and yet It is big enough so that her son, Dan, now a high school senior, can live with her when he starts col lege next fall. Mrs. Smith also has a daughter, Mrs. Rob ert W. Gunn, Bedford Village, N.Y., and two granddaugh ters, v " .- Mrs. Smith, who enjoys cooking, planned the kitchen for her California home. She said it is a "U-shaped kitchen, very simple, very convenient, very workable." : Her Interest In fireplaces and "the price of kindling wood in California," led her to invent and patent .a fire starter, made of waxed wood fibre of the type used in pad ding some furniture. She sold tlu patent to an Indiana manufacturer in 1959. . The tire staners, she said, are about three by six by one-halt inch in size and burn for about 12 minutes "with a good high' flame," making it easy to get a log fire going.

Women Without Husbands Serious German Problem By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (OPD - In any era, in any society, there al ways will be women without men, The subject of the unmar- rieds came up lightly In this space when we talked of s o m e of the answers to the eternal q u e s tlon of, "Why are you still single?" a serious look Ciy Pauley . Now comes at the matter of women with out husbands - in this case. in West Germany. The of ficial information office pub lication of the German fed eral government reports that all told, there are two million women in a total population of 56 million who are without a marriage partner. Some 600,000 of these lost their hus bands in the war, the publica tion said. Many thousands of others lost their fiances and perhaps for this reason never married. In addition, the report con tinued, there are innumerable cases in which a long war separation or other aspects of troubled times" ultimately led to divorce. - , Not Enough Men - "Finally," the report said, there is the large group of women born approximately between 1914 and 1928 who were of marriageable age at the end of the war, but have ever since then so outnumber ed the men of their own gen eration that they have re mained single simply because th'ere were not enough men to go around." The agency said that in Germany "probably more than in any other country in volved in World War II . . , events of war" are most re sponsible for this state of singleness. In the United States, re ports the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, there are an estimated 22 million worn. en who have never married, are widowed or divorced, In a population of close to 185 million. . How do West Germany's women without men spend their time? Much as they do in the United States, the in formation agency reported. : "As things stand now," said the study, "many of the wom en are active in the home and in a job." Free From Pity But it indicates that the emancipation of the average working woman in the United States does not always hold for West Germany. As the study puts it, "The women are well aware mat west uer- many's program ... to guaran tee the 'equality of women' can haraiy wipe out over night the feeling that woman's place is in li.s home." "Some of " them feel the strain of holding their own In a man-made competitive so ciety," the report continued. Few are openly resentful. But most accept the reality that -tU certain jobs there is likely , to . be economic dis crimination against them by employers - psychological re sentment of them by men as fellow workers." The report concluded though that like their British or American, sisters, these women "make do" or "get along." "Rut naradoxically. there are so many lonely women of their generation in Germany that in the eves of society no one of them is alone ... To day's woman without a hus band is free from the pity that misht have befallen the wom an alone in an earlier day." . -. -t ....
