MALE Less SUBTLE
X Il
Newswomen Sought After
X Il
THAN The FEMALE?
BY SIGRID ARNE
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81
You'd know the name in a min
ute. Her family makes a product
used for generations. She's
fat, worth millions, and covered
with smiles and diamonds. Her
friends admit she's inept.
So when she wanted to crash
Washington society she saw
she'd better make friends with
the newspaper women. She ask
ed them in to cocktails and they
floeked over to see the newcom-
er to Waashington's social zoo.
They said nice things. and she,
fat and overdressed, beamed
Finally she turned to a distin-
guished, gray-haired woman. a
stranger standing next to her,
and looking at the crowd of
newspaperwomen, said, Really,
several look as though they are
well-born".
The gray-haired woman, a
top-notch reporter, drawled: $50?
How can YOU tell?"
The fact is, some of Washing
tons newspaper women are
much-sought dinner guests.
True, some ake frumps. And true,
again, some are fashion plates.
But they can talk well, and they
WELD an influence which no
caHny newcomer ignores.
They WELD influence, both in
drawing rooms and in the corri-
doris outside the House and Sen
ate chambers, depending on
their abilities. Let me cite a few
instances:
The most dramatic, in the po-
litieianS versus a newspaper
woman category, occurred when
a reform bill was up in the
House.
That bill was the special en-
thusiasm of little, red-headed
Ruth Fl icy who has written
politics for Is years. The issue
was ticklish so the House de-
cided on a teller vote.
A teller vote is a skirt to hide
behind. The House members pa
rade by tellers and announc
their votes in near whispers. AS
a result, the individual votes are
not known.
But there was a catch which
Miss Finney saw. The mo" votes
spoke to one man, and the Eyes
votes &c another. So Miss Finney
organized a staff, and they spot
ted each representative as he
walked by the two tellers That
night Miss Finny printed the
vote. man by man. There was
CONSERVATION in the House. The
hill finally passed. and many
think il was due to Miss Finney'S
maneuver. Her political enemies
can her 'Little Poison Ivy.
There are more subtle jobs.
