Sweeping
Changes in
Europe Seen
Miss Tomara Speak.
At WOmen's Press
Club Luncheon

Regardless of the outcome Of the
present conflict, Europe will never
be the same when the war is over,
Miss Sonia Tomara, New York
Herald Tribune war correspondent,
told members of the Women's Ma
tional Press Club at luncheon yes
terday.
"It is the end Of one period OF
time" she said, "and the beginning
of another. The change is SO deep
and sweeping that it is not only the
map that has been changed but the
hearts Of the people have been
changed" she said.
Even if England wins, Miss Tomara
predicted there never will be a re-
turn to any of the present forms OF
government.
There will be neither National
Socialism. Communism, nor democ-
racy as we know it," she said.
Capitalism has been uprooted in
Europe forever, she added.
People have realized that material
values, inventions, and such have
proved to be SO fragile" she con-
tinued. "They believe there must be
something besides material achieve
ment.
Aid for Children Urged.
'The only country which has q
possibility to keep what it has
gathered in the past is America" she
declared. She expressed belief 1t
would be a safeguard of future gen.
erations for America to help the
children of Nazi occupied countries
today, sending milk, cod liver oil
and other necessities" She did not
believe the Germans would confiscate
such supplies, she said.
Miss Tomara declared the present
triumphs of Greece had greatly sur
prised her, as she had been told dur
ing recent visit to the Balkans that
Greece had the poorest army in
Europe and the least equipment.
She added that whereas she was

Impossible in l840
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.--Mrs
Franklin d. Roosevelt-cited as No
/ for success in public service-last
night headed "roll of successful
women in careers, 1910, impossible
for women in 1840"
The roll was prepared. by Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait. for the Wom-
ans Centennial Congress. which is
reviewing woman's progress in the
last century and planning a course
for the future.
Women astronomers, surgeons,
archaeologists and professors of the
ology were among the names on the
list. cleaned by the 81-year-old vet
eran Of the woman suffrage move
ment from several hundred impor-
tant careers open to women in 1910
Earlier. Mrs. Roosevelt presided al
panel discussion of realities which
women must face about themselves
and about the world as it is now and
as 1t might be-"
Community Service Urged.
At one point Mrs. Roosevelt said
"A great many women today demand
an opportunity for service. 1t is the
first time in a long while that we
have considered our obligations a,
well as our rights.
"The time is coming when the
question Of specified training fol
women and girls will have to be
faced. imagine we are going to
have to meet this question very
soon. Some think the Government
has no right to draft men and this
feeling Is intensified when 1t comes
to women and girls. I find that
many Of those in Government shy
away from that as from the plague
Each woman should do a real Job
that serves the communicated
lust sit and twiddle her thumbs and
think how hard it is to run a house. "
Some of the other views expressed
by the panel were:
Mary Winslow of the Inter-Amer-
ican Committee of Women estab-
lished by the Pan-American Con-
gress-'Women should stop study
ing situations, and go in and act.
We shouldn't think 100 years ahead
for peace, but 100 days"
Women Called Citizens First.
Marion E. Martin, women's di-
vision chairman of the Repub-
ican National ommittee-"Women
should realize they are citizens first,
and women second"
Mrs. Thomas McAllister, women's
division chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee-"We
need more women in practical poll
tics-party politics"
Pearl Buck, novelist-"I feel as if
American women were struggling
really with themselves. I don't see
great deal of opposition to wom-
en- here-our men are generally
ready for us to do what we think
we ought to do"
Mrs. Raymond Sayre, representing
rural women, said that farm women
today were producing 50 per cent
in excess of enough children to pro-
duce stationary population; but
that city women were producing
less than enough to provide a sta
tionary population.

Dewey Big Issue
In 9Th District

Sixth congressional distric I
pierce county and King county
outside Seattle) Is in the midst
Of a stirring political tussle this
week over selection Of delegates
to the Republican national conven-
ton, to meet in June at Phila-
delphia.
The issue: Shall the delegates
back Tom Dewey for president,
and, II so, to what extent?
Thursday to Tacoma came three
interested Republicans from King
county. They were Joe Daley,
Walberg Tonstad. Auburn, former
postmaster there under Hoover,
and Tom Dobson, 31st legislative
district and former King county
commissioner.
Tonstad Is a Dewey hacker
and candidate for selection rs
n national delegate. The three
conferred here with local
Dewey hackers.
As result, Willard Young, two
years ago COP congressional
nominee, agreed to withdraw his
delegate candidacy in the interest
of Tonstad II this seems advisable
at state convention time, when ma
tional delegates will be picked.
This would mean, on the basis
of action to date, that Dewey
delegate candidates from this dis
trict would be Tonstad and De
Witt Rowland, deputy prosecutor.
1t 10 understood their opponents
for membership on the delegation
will be Reno Odlin. Tacoma banker
and senatorial nominee in the state
six years ago. and John Buchanan,
mill operator.
Odlin has declined to agree to
vote for Dewey; Buchanan has
been non-commital.
