DAME INVADES
 HARVARD CLUB
Reporter First Woman in so Years to Crash New
 York Emporium
(NEA Telephoto)
By JOAN YOUNGER

New York, Feb. 13. CUP)-Today for the first time in the 80-year his tory of the Harvard club, woman walked in the front door, up the front stairway and sat down in the board of directors room on the third floor.
 The woman was I. didn't know any better.
 I was sent to that address to cover story about postwar rockets. Nobody told me that the club ad- mits women only via the back door. and only on special occasions, and that no woman ever is permitted above the second floor.
 The first indication I had that l was trespassing was in the lobby. which, incidentally, is a very nice lobby with a cozy fire burning under a picture of Woodrow Wilson. A man with goatee lowered his newspaper and stared at me.
 Another man told me was not permitted in the lobby. He said I must leave immediately. showed him my invitation to the press con- ference which said board room, Harvard club" very clearly on 1t and said nothing about women being thrown out.
 I said was not coming to the Harvard club as woman but as 8 neWSpaperman.
 I walked up the stairway toward the board room. There were now three men in conference at the foot of the stairway.
 had barely sat down in the board room when all three and two others came in and discussed the predica- ment with the man who was run ming the press conference.
 He said he didn't think would bother anyone, and that would leave quietly by the back door when it was over.
 The press conference was held by Louis Bruchiss ,an expert on air. craft armament. He predicted that within five years mail would be car- rico by rockets, and letter going from New York to London would ar rive there in one hour and cost $1 to send. He also predicted that in 10 or IS years, passengers would be fly ing all over the world in rocket ships which would by that time be con- trolled so that they would not ex- plode when they landed.
 He said that the Rocket ships would take off slowly but would travel at speed of approximately 5000 miles an hour, so that you could, if you wished, junket to London simply to take book out of the British Museum and be back in three hours.
 After the press conference, a member of the Harvard Club staff told me solemly I was the first women ever to have been on the third floor, that even cleaning men were used so that the rules would not be violated. He said it was very unfortunate that such precedent had been set.
 I asked him why there was such rule, and he said that it wasn't because there was anything there that ladies shouldn't see, 1t was simply because Harvard men liked retreat where they were sure women wouldn't follow.
 He escorted me to service ele- vator at the back of the building and I rode down with 8 can of trash. I went out the back door where crates of ice were being carted in.

Though the Hart1orQ OFA o1llcS has kept watchful eye on the ac- tivities of black market vendors, MT. Feiney said, no complaints have been received at that office to date. It is believed however, that some black market selling exists in the towns bordering the New York area, such as Greenwich and Stamford. Tobacco jobbers and wholesalers are assisting the OPA office in the in- Vestigation, which should be com- pleted within a week, the OPA of- ficial said.
 Whether the Connecticut office will follow suit and insist that mer- chants display their cigarettes was not known at this time. MT. Feiney said that the Hartford officials doubted whether the New York di- rective would in any way promote fairer distribution of cigarettes to consumers since people with plenty of time to shop around would as usual be the lucky customers. For instance, if merchants placed c1- garettes on the counter upon re- ceiving them during working hours, the leisured few would have plenty of cigarettes while working people would even get a pack a week..
 Though the Hartford OPA office has received few complaints, MT. Feiney stressed the point that the OPA is poWerless to invoke ration ing of cigarettes. Such directive, he said, would have to be author ized by the War food administra- tion, which rations all food com- modities.
