Report Shows
Many Gains

One in every four Boston Girl
Scouts had Girl Scout camping
experience in la49, members of
the Boston Council Of Girl Scouts
and members Of council commit
tees learned at the Councils an
nual report meeting Jan. 10.
Seventy persons heard James
Wylie, chairman of the Camp CO.
ordinating Committee report that
the Councils percentage of Girl
Scouts in Scout camps was 25.7
per cent, an increase of 8 per
cent. since 1948. The number OF
girls in Camp Treasure Island,
day camps, troop camps, and
other camps grew from ITO to
1898.
Mrs. H. D. Hodgkinson, presi-
dent, was in charge Of this novel
meeting, at which each commit
tee had an opportunity to score
its years work, on a Council
yardstick. The measurements
were poor, ''fair", and "good".
Mrs. Max E. Bernkopf, who re-
ported 574 adults in Girl Scout
training for the year, of a total
of 936 adults serving the pro-
gram, received a rating of
good. Her report showed that
training for adults had almost
doubled in two years, with the
l947 figure showing S07 adults
trained as troop leaders, board
and committee members.
Mrs. George Kealey, vice
president in charge of organiza-
ton, emphasized a year of build
ing solid" troops, requiring
trained leaders, troop commit
tees, and sponsors had resulted in
more than so new solid" troops
being formed throughout the

Senate Test Nears
On Segregation Rider
To Draft Extension
By John A. Giles

The future of the draft act was
tied up today in a Senate dispute
over a civil rights issue.
Battle lines were formed over a
test on President Truman's direc-
tive to end Negro segregation in
the armed services as result of
an amendment by Senator Rus
sell, Democrat, of Georgia. to
allow enlistees and inductees to
state whether they wish to serve
in mixed units.
The present law. which con-
tains no such provision, will ex-
pire at midnight Saturday. Ma
Ijority Leader Lucas asked the
Senate to work overtime in a
night session if necessary to
complete action. A vote on the
bill may come tomorrow.
But even after Senate approval,
the measure must be sent to con-
ference with the House for COM
promises on several other basic
differences. The Senate bill would
extend the law three years and
allow the administration to in
duct when it saw fit. The House
would extend it for two years but
forbid inductions until Congress
declared national emergency.
Both bills provide for the con-
tinuation of registration of all
men from 18 through Is. But
administration leaders feared that
failure to extend the law on time
would mean re-registration OF
the millions already registered for
possible emergency military serv-
ice. The Selective Service was
ready with a draft of a resolution
to continue the present law with
out change for a short period to
allow time for completion of con-
gressional action if necessary.
However, Senator Lucas still
hopes to get the extension meas
ure through on time. He said
he was confident that there were
enough votes to kill the Russell
proposal.

Two sessions were held yester-
day. one in the presence of a
Federal mediator, ,sand a later. in
formal meeting between three
World-Telegram and Sun execu-
tives and three Guild negotiators.

of the newspaper.
Lee B. Wood, executive editor
said the second meeting was re-
quested by the Guild.

Outnumbered, Too!

In the United States today, for the first time
since we started taking count of our population
every ten years, there are more women than men.
The 1850 census will not begin until April, but
the officials in charge know beforehand, on the
basis of scientific samplings, that when all the
figures are n American females will be shown
to be at least million in excess of maIes-an
altogether new and significant fact in our history
This shift in the sex makeup of our popula-
tion-a shift attributable primarily to sharp
decline in immigration and to the fact that the
female death rate in this country is markedly
lower than the male-represents quite change
from the old days when American men held the
numerical balance of power by wide margin.
At first glance, husband-seekers may seem to
have cause for some ALARM but they really need
not worry. The Census Bureau assures them that
their prospects, are as good as ever, the truth
being that they are still less numerous than
bachelors in the marriageable 15-to-34 age group.
As for men-wel, the outlook may be some
what less comforting The American female
already controls most of the Nations private
wealth and obviously, in addition to being beau
tiful, is creature of enormous political and
social power. The fact that she at last out

For the Protection of the Honest

The Civil Service Commission was justified
in deciding to fingerprint all applicants for
census jobs before they take the competitive
examination for appointment. There has been
disturbing evidence Of cheating in some recent
examinations held by the commission-usualIy
through ringers" used to take the tests for the
real applicants. The fingerprinting system is
designed to eliminate such abuses. This is
precaution that will protect the honest appli-
cants and therefore, they should have no
objection to the procedure. In fact, the COM
mission should consider extending the plan to
all major civil service examinations.
