The estimate was 1,500 men higher than the highest pre vious assessment to come from informed government sources. It also was above the highest unofficial estimate which had placed the force at possibly 16,000 men. Sources cautioned, however, against any conclusion that ad ditional troops have been com mitted since Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, toured South Viet Nam last month. Instead, they said, the higher figure was an attempt to "straighten out the arithmetic in preparation for the scheduled reduction of U.S. troop strength there starting about the first of the year. McNamra and Taylor report ed to President Kennedy on their return Oct. 2 that "by the end of the year the U.S. pro gram for training Vietnamese should have progressed to a point where 1,000 U.S. military personnel can be withdrawn." They said the bulk of ' the force should be out of Viet Nam by the end of 1965. As to whether the reduction would be carried out if the Diem government suffers a se ries of military reverses be tween now and Jan. 1, in formed officials were uncer tain. There was general agree ment that this would call for a new decision by the President. BEFORE AND AFTER Mary Ackerman, 11, tresses.

"She is playing a direct and indispensable part in shaping her children's lives," he said, "while he is involved in meaningless work In order to feed and clothe them." They say Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was a flop at the time of delivery, and it may be that sometime in the next century Stein will be saluted as an im mortal operator who uttered an enduring truth.

All of the soldiers were in the 53rd Signal Battalion. ican women are concerned. And experts are almost unanimous in the opinion that a woman s boredom with household chores is one of the toughest problems facing the American husband. Bored women who seek psy chiatric help come up with these complaints: The husband's job is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., five days a week. The wife's job is likely to be 7:30 a.m., until the dinner dishes are washed. Seven days a week. The husband can look for ward to retirement at age .65. The wife never retires because the meals must be cooked and the beds made regardless of whether they are living in a vine covered cottage in California or Florida. In infancy the children are almost exclusively the responsi bility of the wife. What Stein calls a "direct and indispensable part in shaping her children's lives"' also means endlessly changing diapers and preparing baby food. A woman's work is made up of many small chores and some times it is difficult to fit them into a schedule or time table. She can't iron the clothes until they dry. The American husband occu pies a somewhat privileged sta tus in the eyes of students of matrimony. They assume in most cases that it is the wife who must put forth time, thought and extra effort to keep things running smoothly at home. "From the time the female child is born," writes Dr. Virgil G. Damon, "she is stronger and has a better chance for survival than the male. She is tougher, braver, more patient, more will ing to sacrifice herself for the family. It takes a lot of work to make a good marriage, and hus bands are sometimes too busy carving out a career." In addition to cleaning the house, buying the food, cooking the meals and washing the dishes, the American housewife is urged to take on some of the qualities of a first-class diplomat and the dazzling blonde hostess in a cocktail lounge. She is urg ed to "fib gracefully when your opinion is asked about a minor matter; say something nice if you possibly can." She also should "take 20 minutes just be fore he comes home to put on make-up, brush your hair and change clothes, if only to put on a clean blouse such a common complaint that the American Institute ot fam ily Relations has a special course for bored housewives called "Less work, more fun, for homeworkers." Some advice: It is quicker to slack dishes on your right side and move them to the left side. Alternate stand ing up and sitting on a stool when in the kitchen. Don't waste time trying to decide whether to have string beans or peas; flip a coin. Make a diagram of the neces sary steps in baking muffins and save waste motion. Sit down every Sunday and plan the work for each day of the coming week. Keep on good terms with your neighbors, en courage all members of the family to take part in commu nity activities, and try to main tain the reputation of being a mighty fine family. No matter what job a man holds there is an element of competition. Either he is try ing to sell more groceries than his rival down the street or he is trying to edge out another man for a better job. There is not that much zest in keeping house and, in fact, the toughest competitor the housewife has is the clock. If she is going to do everything the marriage coun sellors advise here to do, she is likely to find herself in a rat race. The clock is a tyrant, cracking a whip over her from morning till night and silently ordering her to drop what she is doing because it is time for the children's lunch. Unkind Comments American literature and folk lore have been unkind to wom en. "A bad woman raises hell with a good many men while a good woman raises hell with only one," wrote E. W. Howe in an acid commentary on mat rimony. Jiggs is the sympa thetic character in an enduring comic strip, and his wife, Mag gie, the villainess. Ancient joke: Husband I fell as though I were going to have appendici tis. Wife Well, you'll just have to wait; I need a new hat. Much is made of the fact that the American woman has a longer life expectancy than her husband. The fact is that it is not an American phenomenon, but is true in every nation that keeps vital statistics. In Rus sia, (or instance, females live on the average of eight ears longer than males. The American wife may be full of faults, but she also gels The monotony of housework is her share of unfair raps. MOONLIGHT SHOPPING!
