submitted her resignation last week

Asserting it was with mixed feel

nation, Mrs. Kurtz declared that
Illustration and discouragement'
resulting from a shortage of staff
and the insufficient appropriation
of State funds" in the past yeal
have produced a serious question
as to whether the citizens of Mary.

public assistance adequate to main.

program"
MY participation in the growth
process of the agency has been q

much of my time and effort, she
said.
During her 10 years in Office, Mrs
Kurtz continued, the agency "has
expanded its function from that OF
discharging a single responsibility
in the administration of three pub
lie assistance categories, authorized
by the Social Security Act, to in
clude a program. embracing all Of
the public welfare services provided
for the citizens of Montgomery
County,"
Describing the consolidation" o1
the program as completed" Mrs
Kurtz said the agency is now ready
to embark upon a new phase of en-.
deavor in which the quality of its
service to the community, rather
than the variety of services offered
should receive major emphasis"

uating from the New York School o.
Social Work. She returned to tht

Gov. Tuck Urges
Leaving Poll Tax
Repeal 10 States
Opposes Federal Bon
At Hearing by Senote
Rules Committee

Gov. Tuck of Virginia today con-
tinued his assault on President Tru-
mans civil rights program by telling
the Republican-controlled Senate
Rules Committee that the States,
not the Federal Government, should
decide the question of repeating the
poll tax.
He Joined the fight of other
Southern Democrats in an attempt
to head of favorable committee ac-
tion on anti-poll tax legislation
which already has passed the House.
Such a Federal law, he argued,
would abolish one barrier against
Communism, because it would
break down States rights
Only two weeks ago the Virginia
General Assembly passed legislation
to submit the question of poll tax
repeal to the voters in a referendum
next year.
Unconstitutional, Almond SAYS.
A portion of Gov. Tuck's testi.
mony was enlivened when under
direct questioning by Senator Green,
Democrat, of Rhode Island the
Virginia chief executive said you
cannot make me recede," from the
belief that the States did not dele
gate authority to the Federal Gov
ernment to establish voting quail
fications." -.-..
Senator Green asked if ownership
OF property was. in the Governors
opinion, a valid qualification for
voting.
That is not for me to decide"
Gov. Tuck replied. THE question
of qualifications is a matter for the
people Of the States to determine.
1t has not been a requirement of
the Virginia constitution since 1885,"
It Congress can abolish the poll
tax it also can allow morons and
felons to vote, Representative Al
mond, Democrat, of Virginia told
the committee earlier.
Mr.. Almond contended the Fed
eral Government has no consti-
tutional power to eliminate the poll
tax as a voting requirement.
Denies Congress Power.
If Congress has the power to
abrogate the poll tax requirements"
Mr.. Almond said, "by the same token
it possesses the power to nullify re-
quirements as to registrations, age,
residence and mentality.
1T can open the ballot box to the
moron, the idiot, and the felon."
If it can enlarge the privilege Of
suffrage it can diminish it."
"If it can undermine the sovereign
rights of the States in this respect
it can destroy the last vestige Of
those rights"
Mr.. Almond said political ex-
pediency" does not render the great
charter of our liberty less sacred
or less inViOlate"

Meet Mrs. Jones - the woman
most American men would like
to be married to. As a wife,
how do you measure up to her?

Tn THE eyes of the typical American male,
l. what kind Of woman is the perfect wife?
Not long ago in THIS WEEK described the
average wife's dream man. Now, what
about the other partner in the contract?
To get at the root of all-too-prevalent
discords IN American homes, psychologists
have querled many thousands of husbands
about their wives. Their answers provide
picture of statistical dream wife whom
well call Mrs. Jones. And right now. III tip
of all those who envision the perfect wife as
a reasonable facsimile of Hollywood glam-
our girl - you're due for disillusionment.
Here are the questions, and the consensus
of American manhood:
IL Mrs. Jones beautiful?
It's hard to believe, but the perfect wife
probably isn't even pretty! It's true that
in survey of college boys beauty of form
and face" was listed as much-wanted attri-
butte in a wife. But in survey of older men
men with more of mind to marry
only 10 per cent said it was important for
their wives to be pretty"
What's more important. as Mrs Jones
knows, is that wife should be as careful
about her appearance after marriage as
before. Her husband may not consider
Mrs. Jones pretty. but he does think of her
as attractive. Wives carelessness about
their appearance is a major cause of discord
HosV intelligent is Mrs. Jones?
Slightly less intelligent than Mr.. Jones.
