' al Brotherhood of Electrical

16,500 American
Troops Said Now
In South Viet Nam
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Au
thoritative sources said today
that 16,500 U.S. air and ground
troops are now in South Viet
Nam to aid the struggle against
the Communist Viet Cong.
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personnel can be withdrawn."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.

By HARRY FfcRGUSON
Unilrd Press International
WASHINGTON (UPI) -The
other evening a magazine editor
named Robert Stein told the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs here that housewives lead
more exciting lives than their
husbands do.
"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. But right now
he is in the soup so far as the
overwhelming number of Amer-
Rogue Hospital
Official Elected
PORTLAND (UPI) - P. D.
Fleissncr of the McKenzie-Wil-lamctte
Memorial Hospital in
Springfield today was named
president-elect of the Oregon
Association of Hospitals.
Sister Ernestine Marie, ad
ministrator of Providence Hos
pital in Portland, succeeded to
the presidency. She was president-elect
last year.
Other officers include E. L.
Frye, administrator of Keizer
Hospital in North Bend, vice
president, and Charles I. Gus
tafson, administrator of Rogue
Valley Memorial Hospital in
Medford, secretary-treasurer.
Eugene Soldier
Killed in Crash
FORT SMITH, Ark. (UPD
Two Ft. Chaffee soldiers died
early today and three others
were injured seriously in a two
car accident, police reported.
Killed instantly was Pvt. Wil
liam A. Little, 19, of Bremer
ton, Wash., Spec. 4 William F.
Coleman, 13, of Claremont,
Calif., died in a hospital about
an hour later.
Listed in critical condition
were Pvts. Terry W. Fagan of
Griffith Lake, Ind.; Richard H.
Truit of Gadsen, Ala., and
.lames Y. Brady of Eugene,
Ore.
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.
