Women Who Work

Nineteen million American wom-
en- are working today, and more
than half of them are married,
said Mrs. Helen Valentine. editor
of Charm Magazine speaking be-
fore the New York Fashion Group.
What a market, she pointed out.
They not only have their own
salaries to spend but those of
their husbands. They must be
well-groomed all day and they
wear out their clothes actually
as well as emotionally."
Mrs. Valentine was explaining
why her magazine has changed
its objective, is slanting its edito-
rial policy toward women who
work" rather than toward ''busi-
ness girls" She said that in the
ten years approximately of the
magazines life, woman's place in
the world of business has changed.
A job used to be considered a
stop-gap between school and mar
riage Now. it is more often &C
cepted as career.
To be certain that they know
their public, that they can select
fashion merchandise suited to
their readers each editor of
Charm works in a store one night
a month. Those busy nights find
working women thronging the
stores, and their tastes, their
needs, guide the editors in the
approach to their own jobs.

Traditional Christmas
Dishes From Europe

Nearly every Christian country
has it's representative Christmas
foods Let's see just what these
particular dainties are.
In England, of course, as here
in America. plum puddings. and
mince pies are "musts." Ginger
bread men, and fiat cakes OF
dough made in the shape Of a
baoy are also favorites. From
Austria comes "fruchtbrod" made
of raisins, currants, chopped figs
and dates, formed into cake and
served hot; baked carp. beef and
beer are other traditional refresh
ments.
Goose is the traditional dish of
Bulgaria. baked on bed of sauer-
kraut. Baked carp is the Christmas
dish of Czechoslovakia; its elab-
crate preparation takes on the
aspects of a ritual. Moravian
cookies, so well liked in this
country, originated in Czecho-
slovakia, as did sweet roll filled
with almonds and raisins, called
"vanocka."
Goose is. the Christmas dish in
Denmark, too, where it is often
served stuffed with prunes and
apples. Here, as in Sweden, one
finds that wonderful rice dish
that Is an essential part Of the
Christmas feasting. In Finland,
too, this rice dish plays an i'm
portant part. 1t Is a kind of
rice pudding made with milk,
and favored with cinnamon and
sugar. An almond is tucked
away in the pudding. and
the guest who finds it will be
lucky for the coming year-and
often is given a prize by the host.
The Firms like roast ham and
sucking pig for Christmas. and
have their version OF the Swedish
i1utfisk-dried cod prepared in a
special manner. Norway features
the rice porridge, the cod fish,
roast ribs of pork. and special
cakes and cookies made just for
the Christmas season.
France gives precedence to
truffled turkey, pate de fois gras,
or Strasbourg pie. boar's head in
jelly. and dark brown ginger
bread called pain d'epice. In
Germany all sorts of cookies,
honey cakes, gingerbread men and
marzipan candies signify the
| Christmas season.

Soviet Kibitzers

Judging from news reports, the British
seem to think that the fleet of Russian fishing
vessels" which has been hanging around Eng
lands southwest coast since last Friday is more
interested in shopping than fishing. At any rate,
when one of the Soviet ships dropped anchor
within sight of a new British aircraft carrier
the latter was ordered to move away
Why all of this restraint? If the British
think the fishing vessels really are there to spy
on the Western Union naval maneuvers in the
Bay OF Biscay, why do they not send the Rus
SLAMS on their way? Lord vansittart, former
Foreign Undersecretary, has said, probably quite
accurately, that If a British hotilla were to
appear off the Soviet coast under similar cir
cumstances the ships would be seized and the
crews jailed. And the Russians have demon
strated that they will not hesitate to shoot down
our planes If they get too close to Soviet
naval installations in the Baltic. So the British
instead of playing hide -and-seek with these
kibitzers might do better to order them to get
going-and not through the Bay of Biscay

THE CASE of Mrs. Ellen Knauff, the
l. German war bride who has been
trying since l948 to get OF OF Ellis
Island into the United States, has aroused
two nationwide disputes-one legal and
the other emotional. 1t is hard to say
which is the bigger.
The courts, all the way up to the
Supreme Court. have ruled against Mrs.
Knauff. But even they do not know the
exact reasons why the Justice Depart
ment refuses to give her hearing, much
less admit her and enable her to seek
naturalization.
The record contains a Justice Depart
ment letter indicating information that
Mrs. Knauff formerly was a paid agent
of the CzechoSlovakian Government, who
reported on American personnel as
signed to the civil censorship division
in Germany. The letter implies that the
FBI feels "she would be hazard to
internal security"
Mrs. knauf, whose parents and
brother were murdered by the Hitler
regime, denies any of this is so. She
points to her wartime service with the
Raj in England and to an excellent
rating as a civilian employe of the
OAAeCN OIoecS AIu1y III dcIuua1ly. SIle
declares she has no more use for Com
munists than she did for Nazis.
Jealousy. in her opinion is at the
root of the complaints against her. She
suspects the information came chiefly
from woman with whom she worked
In Germany
In any event. Congress is concerned
in the case. The House approved a
bill May 2 to allow Mrs Knauff to
enter the United States. The measure
Is pending in the Senate.
The legal storm burst over the Justice
Departments order barring Mrs. Knauf
without hearing. on the ground that
to divulge the evidence against her or
identify informants would further en-
danger security.
In 43 decision last January, the
Supreme Court upheld the department.
But the battle has ragged on and may
shift again to the Supreme Court. If
1t does, the issue may be broader than
a mere Interpretation of a 1941 national
emergency law or the now-expired War
Brides Act.
1t could boil down to settlement of q

crucial problem that has cropped up
often in loyalty and other civil rights
cases. That problem is how to reconcile
the conStitutionally guaranteed rights of
the individual citizen-or alien-with the
basic right of the Nation to safeguard
itself.
Meanwhile. the 35-year-old wife of
Kurt Knauff "a United States natural
lied citizen and World War II veteran
now employed as a civilian by the Amer
lean Military Government in Germany
is fighting it out on Ellis Island.
She first arrived there in August,
1948, about eight months after her mar
riage. She was denied entry to this
country. She started legal proceedings
in Federal District Court in New York,
only to lose every move there and in
the United States Court of Appeals.
While her plea was on the way to
the Supreme Court in May, 1949, she
went free on bond in New York. She
went back to Ellis Island last February.

Souso the Man

Inc United States Government has honOred
John Philip Sousa by reproducing his portrait
on a postage stamp and now the District of
Columbia is honoring him by applying his name
to junior high school. Many persons remember
him as he was in his prime. But larger num-
Der undoubtedly know him only by his sobriquet
THE March King and through hearing the
compositions which earned him that title and
which still are played.
For the latter group few words of explana-
tion concerning Sousa the man may be in order
He was born in Washington, November 6, 1854,
and always regarded this city as his home. John
Philip showed an aptitude for music as an infant
and was violin pupil at six. His father arranged
for him to enlist in the United States Marine
Band as an apprentice when he was only ttir-
teen. In 1872 he conducted an orchestra at
Kernan's Theater Meanwhile he had begun to
write marches and galops. His first light opera,
THE Smugglers," was produced in Philadelphia
in 1879. The next year saw him installed as con-
ductor OF the Marine Band. He held the post
until 1892, and the period was exceedingly pro-
ductive. "Semper Ffdelis" was written in 1888
and proved him master in his field.
But Sousa needed his own organization
He obtained his discharge from the Marines and
developed what was unquestionably the finest
private band in the world in its day. Four times

over continental America, once he girdled the
globe. Wherever he went he was legend. More
than hundred marches came from his hands,
from a single one of whch-"StarS and Stripes
Forever"-the royalties were 100000. He also
turned out songs, waltzes, overtures, suites and
operatic scores. Up to the last he was maker
of music, not simply player or director of
music.
No biographical sketch, however, can give
an accurate impression of Sousa as his friends
remember him. He was handsome pleasant to
meet, kindly and patient in manner, witty and
full of fun, helpful in his reactions to the trou-
bles of the human race, a good neighbor,
patriotic citizen. When he died. March 6, 1882,
The Star said of him editorially: His career was
8 proof of the hypothesis that man best sue
ceeds who develops his natural talents and
pursues the course in which they are steadfastly
applied" In relation to junior high school,
these words seem especially appropriate

whole was that Of the United States Senator
