The happy housewife is more
than a singing commercial in
Kent Village, Md.
That's the conclusion of Mrs
Lorraine Dennis, who recently
completed study of how young
thomemakers in that Prince
Georges County community feel
about their lot in life.
Her research emphatically dis
putes the widely preached con-
cept of young Mrs. America as
a distressed, frustrated or neu-
rotic female, utterly despising the
chores of her life and ready at
the drop of a hat to change places
with the career gal.
Mrs. Dennis study, comprising
her thesis for a masters degree
in psychology at Kansas State
College. Manhattan, Kans., shows
that two-thirds of the 72 young
Kent Village mothers questioned
could be classified as "very happy
or happy" with their homemak-
ing role.
Another 1851 per cent were
considered to be fairly happy"
while only 81 per cent of the re-
plies were adjudged unhappy" or
very unhappy" in the classical
tions made for Mrs. Dennis by
five faculty advisers at Kansas
State.
Chaplain's Wife Is Very Happy.
One of the most obviously
happy of the Kent Village home
makers is a Navy chaplain's wife
with three pre-school children,
who wrote:
II love it! 7 get tired and I
get mad, but I wouldn't trade
places with anyone in the whole
world! High school and business
school were only to fill up the
time It'll I married and had chill
dren, so I really feel that I'm
doing just what I always wanted
to do. This is my career!"
A former secretary admitted
she occasionally gets bored with
the routine tasks of the home, but
she said she knows from expe-
rlence that most jobs, have rou-
tine tasks.
Il also know" she added, that
a steel corporation executive has
his grumpy days. just as my chill
dren do, and I'd just as soon
deal with the children. And I nev-

education, the study showed, were
happiest with their homemaking
role. The women who were rated
as happiest averaged less than one
year of college work in contrast
to an average of 3.2 years of COL
|lege among the group of women
considered to be unhappy with
their job as wife and mother.
Mrs. Dennis was unable to de-
termine from her sample how
much of a part the religious fac
tor played in women's acceptance
of the homemaking role, although
she said there seemed "to be a
tendency for greater frequency
|of Catholic marriages among the
happier respondents and an ap-
parent tendency for marriages
with no religious belief to cluster
toward the unhappier side"
A native of Hibbing, Mimi,
Mrs. Dennis received her B. S.
degree from the University of
Minnesota. She took her graduate
work at both the University of
Iowa, while her husband was
studying for his Ph.D, and Kan
sas State College, where Mr..
Dennis taught journalism and
political science.
Won Degree Last Week.
When her husband accepted
the Government job last year,
Mrs. Dennis received permission
of the college to do her thesis here.
She received her masters degree
last week after returning to Man
haitian and passing the required
examinations.
The number of children seemed
to have virtually no effect on the
happiness or unhappiness of the
women tested. This was also true,
Mrs. Dennis said, of the home
makers age, years she worked
before marriage, age when mar
ried. husbands education, hus-
bands age when married and
family income.
The 70 women interviewed were
on the average, % to 80 years
old, with two children. Most had
some college training and their
husbands earned about $4,000 al
year.
Mrs. Dennis. mother of a six
year-old son, has lived in Kent
Village since February, 1850. Her
husband, a former journalist and
college professor, is now working
for the United States Office of
Education as an assistant to the
commissioner.

AS for Fighter Command, no
British government in possession
of its senses can be expected to
fritter away the ultimate defense

in a fight of uncertain outcome
The British were almost over
whelmed in the last war by taking
long chances with their fighter de-
fenses. 1t is probable that very
few squadrons of Fighter Com
mand would be made available for
air warfare over the Continent
unless and until the struggle for
air superiority had already been
won, or was so nearly won, that
it was clear that the intervention
of Fighter Command would be
decisive of the issue.
Air Switch Necessary.
This is sound military sense
from the Allied viewpoint, too,
since the security of the British

purposes, there should be about

of operations, plus a due proper
ton of light bonlbers and night

Short on Tactical Power.
Air defense, in the strict appli-I
cation of the term is defense OF
home territory from hostile air
attack, as distinguished from tao
tical air operations in the combat
zone. But in Europe, the home |
territory of some countries Of the
North Atlantic Alliance may be
close to or actually in the combat
zone; hence this distinction is not
a Tine, one.
Under present plans there isl
little prospect of having enough
tactical air power to support the
prospective number of ground
troops in Western Europe's de-
tense forces either this year or
next year. This deficiency is made
worse by two additional factors:
Cd Since inferiority in numbers
on the ground is certain, this
should be made up for by extra
tactical air power, but, in fact,
there will be shortage instead.
(2) There will be an inescapaole
tendency for governments con-
cerned to drain off tactical air
power for home defense.
Here is how the situation breaks
down by countries:
U. S. Air Forces, Europe
(USAFE) and the British Air
forces of occupation (BAFO) will
have, by the end of 1851. sufficient
tactical air power in Europe to
provide minimum support for the
American and British divisions
which then will be under Gen. Eli
senhower's command. This will be
supplemented in the light and
medium bomber field by Bomber
Command, RAF, based in Great
Britain. But the rest of the Allied
Evening star., 1951-04-25

forces will be in no such fortunate
condition.
French Start from Scratch.
The French air force is starting
virtually from scratch, and, with
all the spirit and good will in the
world, it will be lucky to be able
to put two tactical groups into
the air by the end of this year to
support its 10 divisions. Its re-
manning units will be chiefly USE
full for air defense.
The Belgian and Dutch air
forces may. by that time, have one
tactical group each. The Italian
air force is restricted by treaty to
200 combat-type planes, which it
is getting this year-but they are
FATS and F-51s, not jets. The
net deficiency in tactical air power
on the main front Switzerland
to the North Sea- will be about
1912 groups at the end OF 1851
BY the end of 1852, as the
forces will increase more
rapidly than the air forces Gin
the nature of things-can't be
helped the net deficiency of tao
tical air power will be of the order
of 1920 groups. After that, as Eu-
ropean aircraft production begins
to become significant and our own
and Britain's gets into
stride on newer models, the tao
;icals air situations will improve
-apidly. This year and next are

improve history textbooks by Sc
curing in each country a fair treat
ment of political events involving
the other countries. Much of the
credit for the success of this work
is due the Norden, or Northern,
Association, which after the First
World War was formed in each
of the five countries. At a con-
terence of the five groups in
Stockholm in 1882 it was decided
to undertake a thorough revision
of the history textbooks on a reci-
procal basis, which originally had
been suggested by Denmark, and
for this purpose joint committee
was appointed. Meeting in Oslo in
1895, the Norden Associations de-
cided to publish the findings. and
as a result a book of some go
pages. THE History Textbooks of
the Northern Countries" was pub
lished in Helsinki in 1887. After
it's publication it became current
practice for history textbook au-
thors to submit their manuscripts
to experts in the neighboring
countries for criticism before
turning them over to publisher.
Most of the material that tended
to foment petty nationalism has
thus been removed from the his
tory textbooks.
