WASHINGTON, Feb. l-(Up)-t,ady
Aston, e6-year-old Virgins. born
former member Of the British Par
lament, said today that the
womans point Of view should be
put around the world"
Women should cooperate with

women" she said.
The peppery, one-time Southern
beauty said she was elected TO Par
lament to represent the woman's
point Of view and that she tried
to do Just that during her Is years
in Commons.
Lady Astor remarked that tits
easier for women 10 be spiritually
minded because they're stronger,
and male reporters wanted 10 know
II men had any future.
She replied that men had been
very magnificent" in the past but
needed a rest" now.
She went on to say, however, that
cooperation between both sexes Is
imperative but that she felt women
could do a great deal for world Sc
curity because Of their distinctive
outlook.
She told Questioner a woman
could be "temperamentally suited
to be President of the United
States, but that she doubted the
country was ready to elevate a
woman to the highest office.
Lady Aston added that she would
pity the woman who was handed
such a job now.
Look at poor Madame Perkins

Reds Refuse Channels
Bevin commented heatedly 4
the Russians persistently refus
to approach the British shron
normal diplomatic channels on 81
Greek problem and that vishinxks
built his case against Britain larEtlN
on unofficial reports and news die
patches.
I'VE are in the dock today vita
out a single official communicates
from the Soviet government--oa
ally" he said.
Bevin told the council that 8
British had been accused OF pro
tecting rightist factions in Gree
and that likewise the rightists u
accused them Of protecting the ii
wingers.
He said the British troops wesH
sent into Greece when the CIFA
War began there--and according -
our information it was started ~
the Communist" to preve&
wholesale massacres by both sides.
Communists Tried Seizure
Bevin charged taat the Coma
munist party in Greece made q de-
termined effort to seize power ard
establish a minority government.
I'VE decided to allow trial and
error in Greece" Bevin said. We
could have done what Mr.. Vishinsay
did in Romania and set up minor
ity cove nment. We had tla
power, but we didn't because Ee
believe democracy should come
from the bottom and not from TIE
top"
Britain, he said, wants only TO in
sure fra elections in Greece -
that British troops can be brought
home.
I'VE don't want occupying forces
there, but the Greek government
over and over again has said they
must have fair and free elections
first"
Russian Charges Derided
Bevin derided Russian charges
that Greece was threatening war
against her neighbors. He said h
had proposed four-power commla~
sion TO investigate frontier inci~
dents there but got no response from
Moscow.
vishinsky opened the council
meeting with a cold, dispassionaze
denunciation Of the British policy
in Greece. He said the presence g
British troops there was entirely
unjustified" and that the Soviet
government insists on their
prompt withdrawal.
Vishinsky's long speech about tn9
terror in Greece and the laeK
Of order, Bevin said ironically
points not to necessity for with
drawal Of British troops but TO tlle

Bevin opened his defense q

proposal. The union has accepted
it.
Although the President told his
press conference he thought the
labor situation was improving al
the time, high officials have con-
sistently viewed the steel dispute
as the key to the courrent indus
trial crisis. They also believed that
action to reopen the mills could not
be delayed long because Of the ef-
feet on reconversion. The growing
shortage OF steel materials already
has forced many plants to shut
down and is threatening others.
In a discussion of the steel price
issue, Mr.. Truman told newsmen
that the White House had not yet
received Office Of Price Admins
tration report on steel earnings for
the fourth quarter OF i045.
The Presidents remark puzzled
OPA officials who evidently thought
they had finished their Job. An
