orthodox leaders of Germany's
major political parties has been
shrewd enough to direct a cam
paign designed to round up the
votes of women, as women. But as
the old men who are running Ger
many today die or retire, younger
leaders will certainly become aware
of the potential so far neglected.
~Peace Campaign"
UP TO now, the party making
the loudest appeal to women is
the German Communists. In
Soviet East Germany, roughly 40
per cent of all government posts
are reserved for women. In West
Germany. the great Communist
rallying cry for women is the
Peace Campaign" Although the
overwhelming majority of Ger
many's women are profoundly
anti Communist, thousands are all
too easily swayed by the delusive
Communist slogans of peace.

most important gain since the war
in the province of Lower Saxony
by garnering II per cent of the
popular vote. Lower Saxony,
jammed with refugees, is one of
the areas of Germany where the
preponderance of women in society
is most conspicuous.
On the other hand West Berlin,
rising glittering and vigorous
above the dreary wastes of Ger
man Communism in the East
Zone, impresses every foreign visi-
tor as the most authentic demo-
cratic community in Germany. 1t
is no accident that here in West
Berlin women's organizations are
most active - and here the pro-
portion of women voting reaches
its peak: 63.5 per cent of ballots
at the last municipal election.
Show the Way
AMERICAN guidance experts and
women's leaders cannot, by them
selves, spread. the experience of
Berlin across the country, or urge
each individual city and province
to the same level of feminine par
ticipation in community life. They
can only show the way. In the
last analysis, the future of Ger

ton rests with the leaders of
Germany and themselves. Yet, if
they fail, not only they but all the

To Fight Drug Addiction
By the Assoeiated Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Establish.
ment of clinics to conduct a three.
way fight against narcotic addic.
ton was suggested today by 9
former police surgeon.
The plan advanced by DR.
Leonidas H. Berry. a staff member
lof Cook County and Provident
Hospitals, Chicago, and former
Chicago police department sur.
geon, was printed today in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association.
DR.. Berry suggested clinics
which could be operated by con-
Isulting staffs of IL specialists and
attached to hospital out-patient
departments. They could serve
he said, as preventive agencies
offering counsel to potential VIC
tins. diagnostic centers for those
in need of treatment, and long,
term folloW-up services for pa
tlents after they are discharged
from disqualification.
Many young drug addicts are
free in the larger communities
cropping for help outside the law
DR.. Berry said.
Many parents Of drug addicts
would gladly cooperate to
get them into the hands of physi-
clans before they get into the
hands OF the law. Victims helped
by the clinic would undoubtedly
