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. Recently she was named Pro
fessional Woman of the Year by
the BPW's District of Columbia
branch.
In private life she is the wife
of retired Air Force Maj. Harry
Sccord. 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.
"Ho wasn't In the Air Force for
years not to know something about
machinery," she says.

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

Br JACK P. 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.

"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.
Putting a cigarette out on the
floor of a public building is un
tidy and thoughtless. Other peo
ple don't want to have to walk
over cigarette butts or even look
a them scattered -around. You
wouldn't do it at home. Why do it
in public?
