FEMINIST LEADERS
PRAISE RUTH ELDER
Joint Participation of Man
and Woman in Aviation
Is Acclaimed.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. November 1.-THE
definite Inauguration OF womens par
ticipation in aviation and the coopera-
ton of q man and a woman in gal
liant adventure were regarded by fem
mist leaders today as the significant
contributions to their cause made by
the oversea flight Of the monoplane
American Girl.
Speakers at the women's national
party dinner to Ruth Elder and Capt.
George Haldeman last night lauded the
girl f1ier for having shown proof OF
their contention that women were as
able as men in any field of activity
where the opportunity to use courage
and intelligence presented itself.
Human Beings on Common Ground.
"The most wonderful thing to me-"
said Miss Doris Stevens, former wife
of Dudley Field Malone and leading
feminist, lis that Ruth Elder, woman.
and George Haldeman. man, joined
together as two human beings on the
common ground Of skill and mutual
confidence to do a gallant, beautiful
and inspiring deed. George Haldeman,
you are a pioneer in placing confidence
in a woman in an untried experiment.
| Ruth Elder, your achievement distln-
guished the whole sex. We honor
you, esteem you and love you.
Ruth Elder smashed many myths,
the most diverting of which is that
beauty in women need not be unac'
companied by ability and ambition for
a career, in common with men. we
delight in your beauty, Miss Elder.
We honor your ambition.
To Fly or to Wash.
II am glad that the press is excited
about whether this distinguished avi'
ator will continue to fly or will wash
dishes. Now why should an aviator
wash dishes? I see no future for pro-
fessional aviators in dish washing.
1t Is as reasonable to suggest that
George Haldeman stay home to stoke
the furnace"
Miss Elder, she said, took her place
in the cause with Gertrude Ederle,
who smashed the myth of women's
physical inferiority." and with Mile
Gade Corson, "who smashed the myth
that motherhood means invalidism."
Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, president OF
the party, said: I'VE welcome the
proof which Ruth Elder has given the
world that in aviation, a woman has
swept away the determinations against
our sex"
Miss Elder, who has announced she
does not intend to return Immediately
to Panama, as her husband. Lyle Wo-
mack, had indicated he wished her to
do, with Capt Haldeman, was among
those invited to President Coolidge's
reception to cross-seas fliers in Wash
ington today.
