Eur0be's Women Look to u. S.
For Guidance, Observers Report
By Ruth Dean

European women are turning to-
ward the United States for leader
ship and inspiration, and American
clubwomen can play an important
part in helping them, two prom
inent woman leaders emphasized
here yesterday.
Speaking at a reception last night
where she was guest Of honor, Miss
Anna Lord Strauss, national presi-
dent of the League of Women
Voters, said "the eyes of the women
of Europe are turned toward the
United States"
Miss Strauss has just returned
from Europe, where she attended
the meeting of the international
Alliance of Women at Interlocken
Switzerland She pointed out that
women in the occupied countries
who for six years have been kept
unaware of what was happening in
the outside world. are eager to know
of activities of women here.
She particularly stressed how
women in France and Italy, who Sc
recently have been given the right
to vote. are greatly concerned with
the political and economic recon-
struction of their countries, and are
anxious to learn from their Ameri-
can sisters how to organize them
selves into a nonpartisan political
force.
The active part these women took
in the underground movement
during the war has given them ex-
perience and aroused in them zeal
to help solve postwar problems, u
Miss Strauss added.
Miss Strauss was received by Mrs
Robert w. Leonard, president of the
Districts Voteless League of Women
Voters. in the parish house of st
Johns Church.
Assisting Mrs. Leonard with re.
ceiving the guests were Mrs. Donald
C. Blaisdell, Mrs. Donovan Zook anc
Mrs. Harold w. Krogh.

I DR.. Goodykoontz has just returned
from Germany, where she went as
representative of the State and
War Departments to observe and
evaluate the program of the United
States Military Government there.
DR.. Goodykoontz said she had all
ways had the profoundest respect
for women's club organizations in
this country, adding that she had
noted their absence in Germany,
where so to 10 per cent of the adult
population is made up Of women.
"You can be a model for other
countries who need organizations
like this to rehabilitate themselves
to become one of the family OF ma
tions." she said.
Turning to the educational phase
of German reconstruction, DR..
Goodykoontz remarked that she was
happy to sees the return Of high
grade of literacy which she observed
in the schools she visited. She was
appalled, to find, however, that the
caste system still remains, with chill
III Cll at NCAS JooiA6 oSS SAlOooihS
between a~trade or profession for
their life's work.
Because there are no fees to pay,
the majority of children choose a
trade, DR.. Goodykoontz added, thus
cutting off all opportunity for ac-
quiring the liberal education to
equip them for a responsible place
in the community later.
IF democracy is to be re-estab-
lished in Germany" she said, this
system should be abolished, and in
| its place children from the first
grade up should be taught to as
sumo individual responsibility.
She pointed out that few teach-
ers' colleges have student govern
ment. Some teachers have grasped
an understanding of the demo-
cratic system of education, shs
added, but it will take long time
to reconvert the majority from the
old school of thought, where the
| teacher was master.
DR.. Goodykoontz was introduced
by Mrs. William j. Lettice, chair
man of the education department.
Mrs. John E. Edgerton, jr., club
president, presided.

In Today 5 Elections
BY the Associated Pres.

BRUSSELS, Feb. 16.-The fate Of
exiled King Leopold Is among the
issues in tomorrow's elections. when
the Belgians will elect a Parliament
for the first time since 1899.
Leopold's hope of regaining his
crown rests on the return to power
of the Catholic party, rejuvenated
as the Christian Social party.
The only party favorable to the
Kings return from his exile in
Switzerland, 1t has the support of
the clergy but is not expected to
gain a full majority.
Five parties have nominated can
didates for the 200 seats in the
chamber of deputies: Socialists,
Catholics, Liberals, Communists and
Democratic Belgian Union.
The retiring Socialist government
of Achille van Acker is Campaigning
on What we have accomplished
and not what we cap promise" Van
Acker's regime took Office in March
1945.
Senator Robert Gooding, minis
ter of colonies and a prominent
Liberal, said he believed his party
will play an important role in the
new parliament as a controlling mi
nority. The Liberals had six min
listers in the retiring government.
The Liberals" Mr.. Gooding said,
will act as a propelling force when
the going Is uphill and as brake
when on the downward grade"
Etinne de la Vallee Poussin, one
OF the leaders of the Catholic party,
accused the government of hasten
ing the elections before some es-
sential problems, such as the crea-
ton of council of state, could be
solved. He also blamed the gov
ernment for not taking enough pre-
cautions to defend the franc against
devaluation.
Ernest Lalmand, Communist min
ister of food. accused industrialists
under the Van Asker regime of max
ing huge profits which he said
should be distributed equitably
among the workers.
