Women in Politics
(WaShinqton PoSt)

Washington PosD
 The virtual naming of Representative Mary T. Norton chairman of the credentials committee of the Democratic National Convention that have made little more progress toward crashing ke-fcd room" councils. This is the first time woman has been made top chairman of convention committee, though served in 1914 cochair- Womens recognition in convention politics-and all other kinds-has been snalike during the 28 years they have had the vote. Many States still do not give them 50-50 representation delegates to na- tional conventions. Though there are and a half million more women of voting age than men, the proportion of women in Congress and even in State and city legislative bodies is very small Only seven women in addition to the seven who hold seats are running for Congress in the present cam pagn an eighth having been defeated in the primary And political leaders have seldom if ever exerted much influence in inner party caucuses
 One reason for this is that women are not as politically active at the grassroots men. The National Education Association recently released
 sample study showing that, in 1940 75 out of every 100 voted, but only 61 out of every 100 women. And when to working in parties polling pre- cincts, running for office, trail at much greater length They are more inclined to work for welfare goals through their clubs. Representative Norton who has been in politics 24 years decres this insisting that the more direct way to their ends is through their party organizations. Probably women shy away from this because they possess, than do men, the American social prejudice against going into politics. Polls show that mothers generally don't want their children to seek political careers Also find harder to places in political organizations than in their clubs
 Yet women have great stake in politics because of their concern for their childrens future and be- they about TO per cent of private wealth. They have leisure than men to work in politics. And, according to aptitude experts, politics should be their natural field because they specially endowed with insight, tact and human understanding. What is chiefly lacking interest in public affairs This, it might be remembered to the women of Europe the hard way.

TAFT TIPS ABOUT
 OREGON

The Taft convention notebook also gives some interesting advice to his campaign managers about Oregon, as follows.
 "Oregon-Insomuch as Dewey won the preferential primary vote, all 12 delegates are pledged to vote for him so long as he has a reasonable chance for the nomina- ton. It should be noted, however, that it is not up to Dewey to re- lease these delegates at any given time, but is matter for the judgment of each delegate.

 Prior to this payment Ben Davis was not for Hoover. Afterward he was.
 Perry Howard, CoIored COP Ma tional Committeeman for Mississ- ippi, also received S2,000 of Hoover money. The Mississippi delegates voted for Hoover.
 Rush Holland, former Assistant Attorney General for Harry Dough- erty, was the Hoover Bagman who toured the South and paid off the Southern delegates.
 Today, Perry Howard. the same COP potentate of Mississippi, is vigorously in the corner of Sena- tor Taft. Taft has used a techni- que different from Hoovers. Some time ago he gave Perry Towards son a job in the Senate post office.
 John E. Jackson, chief Republi- can mogul of Louisiana, is also a Taft man. He is reported to ham de some of the law business for warded by the Taft family law firm in Cincinnati.
 This year, however, Dewey has a slice of the Southern Republi- cans, and the battle to carve them up is the chief backstage battle now being fought in Philadelphia.
 Who gets them may be the next President of the United States.
