WASHINGTON STATE COL
LEGE. Pullman, Wash, Feb. Is -
One of the most fascinating and
one of the lengthiest field trips ever
made by Washington State COLLEGE
staff members has just started.
II was begun, Feb. IL, by DIR.
and Mrs. Allan ii. Smith, anthro-
poIigists. The journey will take
them to one of the worlds least
known places-the tiny island of
YOnakuni, so deep in the South
South Pacific that from ii at night
the lights of Formosa can be seen
across sixty miles of water.
The Pullman couple will be gone
until Feb. l, 1851 on leave of alb
sence from the staff and they do
not expect to be leaving Yonakuni
on the return trip until January of
next year. DR.. Smith is associate
professor of anthropology. while Mrs,
Smith cTrude'-Ann Gertrude) is
research associate in anthropology.
The two will be primarily inter-
ested in making a complete cultural
description of one island-an island
largely off the beaten track of hu-
man runways where they believe
they may find life not too greatly
changed from what it was there
about the time that the Christian
era began.
They believe that on this fleck OF
an island with an area of only 11h
square miles and a native popula-
ton guessed to be about forty-five
hundred that time may have come
closer to standing still" and customs
be closer to being untouched by civil
ization's impact than perhaps al
most any place else they could
choose.
From the little that is known
about this island the Smiths con-
clude that it is basically japanese,
ethnologically, with some Malayan
and probably some North Chinese
strains. They would not be sur
prised to see the culture somewhat
of the old japanese type, as it
was not merely before the Japan
csc came in contact with Occiden-
tai civilization but even before
they were subjected to important
Chinese influences many centur-
les ago.

Reduced Staff
To be Maintained
To House Aliens

Genji Mihara. president of the
Seattle japanese Community Ser
vice. was advised "Wednesday NOR
ming by Senator Warren G. Mag
nuson in Washington, d. c., that
the u. :. immigration Service has
authorized John z. Boyd, district
director of immigration, to main
tain a reduced detention staff and
suitable quarters to accommodate
those passengers from the Orient
who are not readily admissible.
Aliens will be held in the de-
tention station here IL their cases
can be disposed of quickly, Boyd
said. If it appears that they will
have to be held for a prolonged
period. they will be sent TO San
Francisco.
Aliens detained on arrest war
rants. Boyd said, will be held in
the King County Jail.
In move to retain the detention

urged to use their good offices to-
ward this end.

The telegram read as follows

great hardship will be caused to the
detainees, their families and friends.
Detention in county Jail for any
period however short, is degrading
to such persons.
We feel that this will affect the
status of the State and Seattle in
particular as port of entry for
Oriental and Canadian persons. Ira
vellers will prefer to enter at San
Francisco or other port of entry
rather than run risk of detention
at Seattle in county jail. Dual effect

Why Grow Otd9
The Women Men Like

problem of cold cream. This is a
puzzle for many women who wish
to look their best when their hus-
bands are at home and yet who
have very dry skins. One solu-
ton is to put the cream on during
the day and leave it for several
hours. Then at night you can
use only little eye cream, patted
under the eyes and on the lids.
This is not unattractive.
If you are a career wife Of
course you cannot use the cream
during the day. There are some
oils which practically disappear
into the skin and there are oily
bases for the dry skin which lessen
the drying out it receives during
the day. I know woman who
keeps her lubricating cream on
her bedside table. She likes to
read later at night than her hus-
band and puts the cream on just
before going to sleep. A business
woman of my acquaintance keeps
cream in her desk at the Office.
Whenever it is possible to, applies
it and leaves it on for a half hour
at noon while in the lounge.
However you solve it. one thing
is certain. You will age rapidly

yesterday we discussed

Yesterday we discussed some OF
the things men do not like in
women. Today let us consider
some of the things they do like
in their homes and their little
ladies. According to the fall issue
of Modern Bride men like bic
chairs. good reading lights, rugs
that do not slip. adequate drawer
and closet space, a place of their
own in which to keep hobby ma
terials. They like household tools
which are up to date and really
work.
Here are some things which
men like in. women. They like
good humor. They like the woman
WHO makes them feel comfortable
They like the woman who relies
on them even in small ways. They
like a woman who is gay and can
slough off hectic situations.
They like the woman who is
natural. They like the one who
is interested in what they are do
ing. They like a woman who can
listen. They like a woman who
is a good COOK. They like the
woman who is we'll groomed. They
like her to look lovely withou:

she does to make herself that way

An act of Congress last March

the contract could be let only from

This was believed to have dis

From March of this year, the
Voice has no breakdown on Soviet

1948 and 1949.
Day-to-Day Evaluation Urged.
Researchers point out that such
evaluation should be done on q
day-to-day basis.
If it is not, broadcasts could
lose their punch and tineliness,
the researchers say. ...-.-
One of the researchers in re-
viewing the completed and prof.
ected plans of the Voice of Amer-
lea for evaluation had this to say:
1T appears that the Voice has
set out in the pattern of American
radio research, the kind of thing
an advertiser would do if he
bought time on Saturday night
and wanted to learn if it paid off.
"The question comes down to
this" he said. Can that pattern
of evaluation be extended into
the political sphere? 1t is doubt
full that the pattern would hold
up in many respects" -s-.-

pointing these detectives:
How the Voice can help our
allies in Western Europe and
Asia and how it can SOW the seeds
Of dissension in Russia and in the
Red army.
Overall Program Needed.
What we need" he stressed;
"is an overall evaluation program
in which the attitude of the Euro
pean and Asiatic is measured not
only in terms of the Voice, but
of the United States Information
Service.
