entirely new in the field of press
and public relations was estab-
lisned Saturday, June 18th, when
the Global News Syndicate pre-
sented it's first annual Press and
Public Relations Conference and
Workshop at the Hotel Theresa.
Under the general Craftsmanship
Of julius j. Adams, veteran news
paperman and writer, the confer
ence started at 10 am. on a high
note which carried on throughout
the day.
Lou Swarz, Associated Director
of Global, opened the morning ses-
sion by giving brief history of
the Syndicate. Mr. Adams, starting
the purpose of the conference,
said: "In presenting this Press
and Public Relations Conference
and Newspaper Workshop, Global
News Syndicate is seeking to show
the way to bridging the gap be-
tween press and public. This is
the time for the Public to give
it's views on the press and for
the press, in turn to point out to
the public what it's problems are,
as. well as what the press really
feels it's responsibility to be-"
An estimated 800 representatives
of civic and social clubs, teachers
and organizations and Business
Firms, and experienced newspaper
and Public Relations experts, came
from many sections of the coun-
try to participate in the one-day
conference. At the outset, the
general feeling was that the SUBJ
.jects were interested and challeng-
ing and that such conference
would be highly educational and
extremely valuable both to the
community and those who serve
the community through various in
formation sources. AS the program
developed throughout the day,
however, there was even greater
enthusiasm expressed both by
guests and participants, as to the
Importance of a clear understand
ing of what the newspaper is and
can do to serve it's community.
A panel of outstanding commun-

morning session and expressed
their views as to the "Role of the

Swedish Woman Looks Ahead
Story Of Swedish
womanhood Told

Legally, only three doors are
still closed to women in Sweden.
They cannot become (D king ca
clergy of the State Lutheran
Church, go soldiers in the regu-
lar army.
Barriers one and three seem to
arouse no great ire in the other
wise militant Swedish women lead
ers. None of them seem to have
any ambition to become monarch
of the realm as ruling queen, even
though it was a right they once
held, and held spectacularly by
Queen Christina in the seventeenth
century. Attacks on the law of
male succession to the throne are
seldom, if ever heard. A special
military auxiliary corps, the Lolita
organization, seems to satisfy any
desire Swedish women have to
wear braid and salute each other,
and its membership was in t he
hundreds of thousands during
World War II. Currently, the ques-
ton of conscripting women (all
men undergo compulsory military
training) for some form of ma
tional service has been re-acti-
waited, partly as a means of allevi-
ating a severe shortage of nurses.
Women in the clergy are some
thing else. and the salyos fired
off now and again against dis
elimination in the wearing of the
