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."
