WASHINGTON-Now that ccn- vcnIon smoke has cleared away, women in both parties have turned up with such a wealth of new privileges and duties that they are virtually on an eaGa! political foot ing with the men.
 At Philadelphia the Republican convention agreed that come 19H women will have equal represen- tat.on cn all convention commit tees, which means, most impor- tantly, they will sit on the plat form committee that decides the party's policy.
 At Chicago the Democratic con- vention passed a resolution giv- mg women 5O~5G representation immediately On the platform com mittce. Twenty women joined the last days deliberations.
 Both convention floors were bright with women's hats and huge corsages. Both groups had increased numbers of women delegates and accred- tied.
 Republican women had garnered 78 delegates posts, 231 alternates Democratic women had 202 dele- gates and 367 alternates.
 In the hotel suites where state delegations argued issues the change was most obvious. Women spoke up. argued. buttonholed and voted with their men colleagues.
 Even in the convention sessions there was a noticeable change. Women were spot-lighted on the speakers platform. None so much as stumbled over their lines. Most of them are veterans of local soap-boXes.
 But they kept their feminin- ity. Most of the women had special dresses for the occasion.

GERHARD BODY

Grapplers Give UP Hunt for Man Who Died in
 Sunday Tragedy

Hope is practically abandoned for recovery of the body of Albert Chem ard, 42, metal worker who drowned in double tragedy at Turner Lake Sunday
 A grappling party returned to Juneau last night from the second frutless attenlp to bring up Chen ards body, and it is believed the cnly possibility Of recovery lies in the slim chance the body might rise to the surface in a few days.
 Draggers, returning on the motor ship Forester, Capt. Kinky Bayers, said wide area was dragged to depth of 200 feet, bat it is thought the body probably drifted off the drop-off and will not be recovered.

THEY MANAGE CAMPAIGNS

Tn Philadelphia the convention was treated to two women mana gers for candidates campaigns. Brown-eyed Mrs. Robert A. Taft spent II hours 8 day greeting the people she hoped would vote her husband, the Ohio Senator, into the nominees post. She was a good loser, too. Said, well, mayoe it's best for the family"
 At the Thomas Dewey head quarters in Philadelphia the CO., manager was taciturn, elderly Ruth Hanna Mccormick Simms, daughter of legendary Sen. Mark Hanna, and q former member of Congress, herself.
 Tn Philadelphia another prece- dent was broken: A woman nom mated candidate. Many have seconded nominations. But none have made the introductory speech until Gladys Pyle, former South Dakota state legislator, named Gov. Harlan Bushfield. It was ad- mittedly not a nomination that would ride to victory, but, then, that's the way most Of the wo- mens political paths have start ed From the unimportant to the policy-makins.
 In both conventions the women had small committees that pre- sented women's platforms. The Democrats committee of l3 wo- men was an official part of the convention for the first time. In previous years they had met un- officially and coaXed a man to read their views to the drafting board

TuEY sEEK REFORM

The women's emphasis on both sides has always been for social 4eIorms. This year both women s ,.oHps were most interested in screign policy because of their hatred for war, Both blanks proD- ably would have been more bel lgerent had not the conventions been SO well attended by women.
 Secretary Frances Perkins gives a large share of the credit for the past eight years of the New Deal to women workers. She recalls tnat in 1924 there was a small group of determined New York women who met informally in her down.

 When the campaign speeches be- gin lumbling across the sand in September there will be almost as many sopranos as bases on the air.
 The Democrats have 90,000 wo- men trained in speech and New Deal theology who go out and lead educational sessions on such subjects as public power and for eign policy. There are an addi- tionai 1ZC,000 women who are re- sponsible for. keeping an eye on the local running of New Deal laws.
 The Republicans are busy or ganizing as many as possible. 1hair Federation of Republican Clubs is new since the last cam Eaign but the director, Marian Martin, from Maine, claims 250,- coo membership. These women meet locally and talk over issues preparatory for door-to-door can yassing.
 It's Q long way from the start
 In 1892 three women slipped quietly, conserVatively attired, into the Republican convention.
 In 1900 the Democrats seated three similarly decorous women delegates.
 It wasn't until l9f0 that wo- man addressed a full convention on anything but purely feminine interests. Then it was pretty vivacious Mrs. Thomas McAllis- ter of Michigan, who heads the Democrats women's division In jade green silk suit, two or chids on her shoulder. she took the microphone to speak on for eign policy. She got more than her share of applause.
