THESE DAY
 --B Y GEORGE =. SOKOLSKY
THE HALF-CENTURY YEAR TX
Baron Holbach wrote in 1774:

Baron Holbach wrote in 1774:
 "In all the countries of the world the lot of women is to submit to tyranny. The savage makes a shve of his mate, and carries his con- tempt for her to the point of cruelty. While we refuse them a sensible education, while we feed their minds with tedium and trif- les, while we allow them to busy
 themselves only with playthings and fashions and adornments, while we seek to inspire them only with the taste for frivolous accomplish ments, do we not show our real contempt, while we mask it with a show of difference and reSpect?' And his cry was taken up by Mary Wollstonecraft, who, in 1792. published her "vindication of the rights of woman" book that startled a century Certainly in 1900 women had nowhere achieved pol itical, economic or social equality or even legal emancipation. The first 49 years of this century there fore may be regarded as signaliz-
 ing the recognition of an equal role for women in all phases of life i in education, in business, in pol
 itics, in the professions. This has
 in short historic period, worked
 revolution in the habits of hu- man beings, particularly in the
 United States.
 In 1900, the typewriter was a
 new device and the telephone was not of universal usage in the Uni
 ted States. These two industries
 which have since given employment

to millions of women, to say noth- ing of the newer service industries, such as beauticians, elevator girls, laboratory assistants, salesladies, nurses, receptionists, neWspGper- women, opened new possibilities for that economic independence which must precede social independence. When father pays the bills, he in- evitably is the master; when a young lady pays her own way, she has a freedom of choice as to her conduct which she can make good.
 True, women have in the past earned their living as teachers, governesses, maids, laundresses, cooks and so on. But in the first half of the Twentieth Century, par ticularly after World War l, they stepped into every vocation and every business, even into such mas culine environments as steel mills. Women are presidents of corpora tions; they own, publish and edit newspapers and magazines; they are even taxi-drivers. In a word the American woman is not de- pendent upon her father, her hus- band, her brother, or a generous lover.
 Politically, the Pankhursts fought their good fight and achieved wo- mems sufferage. In the United States, this took an amendment to the Constitution (the 19thD, and by 1850, women hold high office, one of them, Francis Perkins, actually having served in the Cabinet Of Franklin D. Roosevelt. They have been elected to both houses of Congress; serve in administrative and judicial positions, not only in Federal Government but also in state, county and municipal gov- .rments. They also play a vital role in party organizations.
 Eleanor Roosevelt has achieved a political leadership unequalled in her generation by any man, which even those who dislike her must recognize. As a matter of fact, 1t is not impossible that the record of the past 20 years, when it is all in, will disclose that she was really the architect of that amals- am of disjointed groups known as the New Deal.
 The economic and political equal
 ty of women has appeared simul- taneously with vast alterations in the mores of our country. Free marriage, That is, marriage with out parental consent-has become customary In 1900, a young man asked fathers permission to wed the daughter; in 1850, the daughter announces her intention. Divorce has become so usual that it is al- most an institution. Certainly, such word as, divorcee, has no delet- ious meaning Birth control is widely practised and openly discus sed. Illegitimacy has been abol- ished by law in various places and newspapers discuss sex, using pre- else rather than euphemistic lan guage.
 The marketing of many commod- ities is focused upon the woman buyer, who dresses to suit her own tastes. Housework has changed it's nature to meet the increasing necessity of women for more lei sure, less drudgery and the com bined functions of wife, mother and earner. This concept has never before appeared in history on such scale and it's development in so short a time to it's present charac- teristics is unassimilatet in the morality of the Western World. ---

New A-BOmb Plan

Inside reason why David Lilien- thai postponed his resignation from December to February Is was on Truman's personal plea that he stay on for six more weeks to prepare a new international con- trol plan for atomic energy super seding the old Baruch Plan.
 The Baruch Plan was conceived on the idea that Russia would not have the bomb before 1854. In other words it was based on an American

final plans to review the fight for
