AUNT ALICE SAYS WOMEN ARE SHY

Washington, Nov. 20. = American
women are not yet experienced
enough in politics to hold office
such as a seat in congress, Repre-
sentative Alice Robertson of Okla
homa, said today
She said her own career in con-
gress has convinced her of that.
Women have not had enough ex-
perience yet to be ready for office"
she declared. I'VE are only in the
kindergarten of politics and we are
not yet ready for the higher math-
ematics. For the time being my ad-
vice to my sex is to not seek office
but to study politics from the
ground up and learn how to vote.
Then, after while we can go after
the higher honors.
Women now are too tempera-
mental and too sensitive in politics,
and include myself. That is be-
cause we are novices at the game.
1t won't be that way after we've
worked our way up from the bottom
and learned to take the personal
element out of it,"
Aunt Alice" was afraid her re-
marks would be construed as "sour
grapes because of her defeat for
reelection.
But it is nothing of the kind, =
she asserted. Il was sort of mad
about getting beat, but l don't shed
any tears or carry on one bit. The
