OREGON SUNDAY, MAY 25, 1958 j MARGUERITE..RAWALT Woman Lawyer Has To Prove Legal Ability A woman lawyer can't argue that she's as good as a man in winning legal battles. She's got to prove it first. Washington attorney Marguerite Hawaii believes that's the only way to get a prospective male client who doubts a woman can win his case. "If you discuss his case with him, he might come to the con clusion that you had knowledge and ability in spite of your sex." And Miss Hawaii's record re veals conclusive evidence that a woman can become just as suc cessful as a man in the nation's legal profession. An expert on tax law for the . United Slates Internal Revenue Service, she holds the Important job of assistant to the head of the Civil Division, Office of the Chief . Counsel. Miss Rawalf was president of the National Association of Worn en Lawyers in 1!M2. A year later ahe became president of the Fed' eral Bar Association, the only woman io ever now this position Last year she was one of seven American lawyers invited to Germany to study that country's court system.. Presently she is working with a group of olher at torneys to establish a special re search center and library on gov , ernmental law. Miss Hawalt disagrees with the Idea that tax law is a dull subject to work on day after day. "Tax lawyers see the whole play of hu man 'relations," she says.- ''. "One of the most satisfying things about my job is that 1 have freedom to come to an inde pendent conclusion that 'I think is the right one for the tnxnaver." She explains, "We're not out to win a case just for the record but to be fair with the taxpayer under the law. All wo want is the tax he owes, no more or no less." In addition to her extensive le gal work. Miss Rawalt has played an active and important part in the National Federation of Busi ness and Professional . Womcns Clubs. While president of the or ganization, she represented it at international BPW meetings in Venice, Italy and Berne, Switzer land.

Whenever she can find time to relax from her job and club activities, Miss Rawalt likes to fish, swim and look at televi sion whodunits. But even at home, she can't escape her outstanding legal rep utation. Miss Rawalt reveals that she has to fill out the yearly in come tax report. "My husband leaves that to me like 1 leave such things as repairs and purchases to him." She explains that the ma jor is completely in charge when it comes to buying something like a new car.

Things To Remember When Overseas By AI.ICIA HART NEA Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON INEA) Im proving overseas reputation of the American girl is the special as signment just handed to an offi cial of the United States Infor Illation Agency. Miss Virginia Geiger, recently appointed head of USIA's new Women's Activities Office, has the job of convincing the gals in for eign countries that tne average American icmaie is nui a uuiin ncering careerist or empty-head ed glamor girl. The former foreign service of ficial explains that these are two of the most common misconcep tions that foreigners have about U.S. women. Ideas that they are ill mannered, disrespectful to old neople and responsible for the country's skyrocketing juvenile de linquency also are prevalent, she says. In order to correct these impres sions, Miss Geiger is organizing a worldwide campaign which will combine the efforts of the USIA with those of U.S. and foreign women's groups. Recently she has been sounding nut these organizations to deter mine what kind of projects would be -most effective in promoting U.S. womanhood abroad. "I think the women of foreign countries have an insatiable curi osity about almost every aspect or our life, Miss Geiger says. "They're eager to find out how other women's organizations got started and what they have achieved." She explains they arc especial ly interested in learning how to organize and run programs thai deal with social welfare and aid to the handicapped. The .16-year-old government of ficial hones the educational cam paign will prove that the aver age Americn woman is actually a very generous, sincere, hard working person. Miss Geiger adds that these qualities make the best impression -on foreigners. She reminds American women to always display them when travel ing overseas or entertaining for eigners in this country. "When you are overseas, you are so much more than yourself," she declares. "You are the Amer ican Woman." Since beginning her job. Miss Geiger has been astounded to learn how much U.S. women's clubs are already doing in the foreign field. She says it is hard to find woman's organization that not carrying on some kind of in ternational program. Projects include sending retire sentatives to international women's conferences, aiding the student ex chango program and correspond ing with people overseas. Miss Geiger s ability to under stand foreign altitudes results from the years she winked for the gov ernment overseas. Her foreign as- ignments have included a stint Si' - ' - I n hi i ,$j imi LINDA LOUISE WIDOWS, above, Is the bride-elect of Earl C. Foster, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene L.

GABRIEL NEA SCaff Correspondent NEW YORK NEAi When group of determined females bands together to accomplish something, they are apt to move heaven and earth and come up with tne lm possible. In India on official business tor the United Nations Children's Fund UNICEF) last fall, Mrs. Grace II. Barbey heard something which disturbed her. At India's request. most of the countries in the world were sending in sample textbooks and supplementary reading books on subjects like geography, antn metic, social science and others. But the U.S.A. wasn t in the pic-' ture. 'The books are printed In their; original language. Mrs. Barbey explains. "Then they re translat ed into Indian and their best lea Hires are adapted for purposes in Indian schools." They'll be used by students up through high school years. Generous response to India s need came from Russia and her satellite territories. Their textbooks told of the glories of life and ed ucation in the U.S.S.R. and the occupied countries. The subtle phrasing had all Uie lure of trav el pesters; Nothing, however, was sent Dy the United States. There is agency in our country which has any appropriation to buy books to give to another country. UNICEF provides food and ne cessities for children abroad but it, too, has no money for text books. Mrs. Barbey took the prob lem to Mrs. Polly Rivers, vice president of the Women's Nation al Book Association, a group ol women who derive part of their income from the world of books "It was a challenge," Mrs. Riv ers admits. "No one in our govern ment could give me any help in sending these books to India, and I knew they should go. Everyone agreed it was import ant to this country to be repre sented in India's changing educa tion program, which is being dras tically revised since India got its independence In 1947. After running up too many blind alleys, Mrs. Rivers talked it over with Miss Mary Shipley, chair man of the WNBA's special proj ects committee, and Miss Shipley immediately got involved in the scheme. There were more blind alleys to discourage these charter members of "Operation Textbook." Some publishers were willing to donate their, books. But the ones shipped had to be perfect examples of the education program in the U.S., or they'd be of no use. FOR HOUSE-! CLEANING HARDWARE 528 Main For Your Shopping Convenience . . . Open a Charge Account at WHYTAl'S "We sounded out children's book fairs," Miss Shipley says. "When the fairs are over, there are lots of books to be disposed of, and we went after some of them." The books are ordinarily given to or ganizations like the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, hospitals or orphan ages, or wherever they'll do some good. The Washington, D.C., Book Fair was the first to donate anything usable. When the R. R. Bowker Co., to whom all publishers send books to be listed, made a sizable con tribution, the ball really started to roll. The books themselves were not the end of the problem. "No one was contributing mon ey for postage, either," Miss Shipley adds. "We were not allowed to send a package weighing over seven pounds, but the postage was still en item to be considered By this time, the assistance of other unselfish workers had been obtained. The solution to the post age problem was to chip in and pay for it. Ten small packages have been mailed and others will soon be ready to go. Things are looking up for "Operation Text book." "We've been offered more and more books," Mrs. Rivers says with a happy sigh, "and the U.S. Information Agency in Washington has since made arrangements to ship the boxes from now on." Nor will they be limited to a mere seven pounds per box. Now, thanks to some women who know and appreciate the American way of living, the United States will have some influence on stu dents in India's future education program.
