thoritative impressions of what is
going on.
For example, in the matter of
appointments. the prospect is that
there will be a great many more
Of them between now and January
20. The object is to have most of
the important policy making jobs
filled with people of the generals
choosing by the time he takes
over the reins. Just what the to-
tai figure will be is not known.
An estimate of 1900 such appoint
ments has been made, but cannot
be confirmed here.
Silent on Korea.
In regard to Korea, the general
will have nothing more to say un-
til after the Inauguration. At
least for the record. The policy
that has been adopted on this and
other matters of wide public in
terest is to make no statement
without the authority to back it
up.
This policy is responsible for
the fact that the general has
held no press conference since
his election, and will hold none
until he becomes president.
Rumors that the president-elect
is unsympathetic to the press as
a whole, seem to be without real
foundation.
The evidence is that there will
be no radical changes in the
present White House routine, in
Guiding the custom Of weekly press
conferences. The matter has been
discussed for several weeks and
no final decisions have been made.
But the indications are that the
first few weeks of the new admin
istration will be highly produc-
tive from a news standpoint.
Hit White House Setup.
In the trips that have been
made to Washington to look over
their new Offices, members of the
staff have been ap-
palled by working conditions at
the White House. They complain
that available working space in
tn executive wing is disgrace
fully inadequate. They stress par
ticularly the need for a larger
conference hall than is now pro-
vided by the cabinet room. They
point out that working conditions
for the president are greatly in
ferior to those of most State
governors who have executive
Offices separated from their homes.
The only solution would be the
abandonment of the White House
offices entirely and the taking
over of a modern Office building
for the purpose. Some members of
the Eisenhower staff would like
to see this happen, but they are
not optimistic about the chances.

Can a Jew become q drunkard? I?
That's the question Rosalie brings

Il am engaged to a very fine
young man." she explains. Lately
when he called on me I smelled
liquor on his breath. I was
brought up to think that drinking
is a great offense. and always
had before me the example of
one of my uncles who, although
a good man in many ways, was the
town drunkard and brought pow
erty, shame and grief to his fam
lily and relatives. Because of this,
and because of the way was
reared, I always said I would
never marry . drinking man.
"You can imagine how upset I
was when I found my fiance had
been drinking. I guess I behaved
very Historically; tried to give
him back his ring and told him I
would never see him again. AS /
look back I see that this was a
childish way to behave but as I
say, that was really the way
felt. He was astonished at the
violence of my reaction and de-
manded an explanation. I told
him about my uncle and my child
hood training. I told him I would
never marry q man who might
wreck our marriage by turning
into a drunkard and he said I was
perfectly safe because even though
Jews may drink little, they never
become drunkards. I thought
this was nonsense, but he said I
could ask any authority.

America has So million women
OF voting age and a record num-
ber OF them are registering for
the coming presidential election.
1t has taken a long time, but
now the gals are going full-steam
ahead in the campaign to get out
the vote. It's good bet that the
candidate who convinceS the
women is the one who's going to
move into the White House next
January.
Women deserve the major
credit for today's record registra-
tion," says spokesman for the
American Heritage Foundation, a
non-partisan. non-profit organiza-
tion whose job is to coordinate
the efforts of the scores of organi-
cations waging individual cam
paigns to get citizens to the polls.
There are 26 million workers
on the job at present. pledged to
get out the vote, and most of them
are women"
Virtually all the women's or
ganizations in the country are
working on intensive campaigns
to get voters to the polls November
4. II their plans are only so per
cent effective, We'll have the
biggest vote in the history of the
Nation.
The General Federation of
Women's Clubs, for instance, has
pledged each of its II million
members to get 10 of her friends
to the polls.
The OAR, with 158.000 members.
is engaged in the same project.
The Business and Professional
Women's Clubs also are working
through their organized groups in
practically every community.
The Girl Scouts and the Camp
fire Girls are volunteering as baby
sitters for mothers who want to
register or vote. The girls, with
complete instructions for the Job,
will even walk the puppy.
1t seems that the long and tire
less efforts Of such organizations
as the League Of Women Voters
are paying off at last. It has
dawned on the Nations women
that they haven't lived up to
their hard-fought battle for suf-
frage. Now they're going to put
it to work.
Students Of the political scene
say television may be responsible
for much of the new feminine
activity. When candidates and
issues come right into the living
room, they can't be ignored.
Women have discovered, too.
that politics is fun; that ringing
doorbells and speaking on sound
trucks is more exciting than a
bridge game; that lots of their
neighbors, whom they hadn't
bothered to meet, are nice people.
The gals are getting a kick out
Of the campaign. Their goal, and
that Of the various organizations
at work, is to roll up q record vote
of 50 million November 4.

Modern Marriage
There Are Drunkurds-
And Those Who Just Drink

DR.. Popenoe. It's very important
to me to have a correct answer
Is it a fact that Jews never be-
come drunkards?"
Alas. no. 1t would be hard to
find any group in which no drunk
ard ever appeared, Rosalie. But
lit is a fact that there is less
drunkenness among Jews thar
among most other parts Of the
population. The late psychiatrist
Abraham Myerson, pointed out
that whatever measurement you
take-arrests for drunkenness OF
confinement to a hospital because
of alcoholism-the Jewish people
are relatively free from this "dis-
ease." It's an interesting point
because alcoholism is often said
to be the result of feelings of frus-
tration, insecurity and anxiety
and there is no apparent reason
why Jews should have fewer such
feelings than any one else. The
explanation seems to be tradition
social pressure and religious con-
viction.
I'd watch the young man fol
a while, Rosalie, and not condemn
him on suspicion. It will be help
full to you to study UP on alcohol
ism. Write me for my up-to-date
list Of books on the subject. It
will be sent to. you with the COM
pliments Of this newspaper If you
enclose a stamped, self lf-addressed
envelope. Your public library can
then supply the books.
Any girl will be wise to avoid
marriage to q drunkard. Liquor
is one Of the worst curses Of fam
lily life. But get all the proofs be-
fore you make q decision.

A statement made yesterday by
Senator A. S. Mike Monroney
Democrat. of Oklahoma. that Gen
Eisenhower's telecasts have been
Cancelled, has been challenged by
a representative of an agency
which handles space and time
buying for the Republican National
Committee.
In a luncheon talk, the Senator
told the Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club that whereas Gov
Adlai Stevenson will be deliver
ing three instead of two telecast
addresses a week, "the Republi-
cans have wisely Cancelled out
Eisenhower's telecasts."
In a statement from Republican
Committee headquarters later ir
the day, Frank Armstrong, of the
Kudner Agency, Inc, which han
dies advertising for the committee
declared:
I'VE have Cancelled no televisior
shows where it's been possible to
put Gen. Eisenhower on. The only
reason that we have Cancelled any
TV shows or have considered can
ceiling them is the lack Of any
money"
Mr.. Armstrong said that the
committee has actually not can
celed any shows where the general
was available" He said that the
September 29th show was can
celed because neither candidate
was available.
Future plans. he said, include
eat least two complete network TV
broadcastS" by Gen. Eisenhower,
land probably others over local
stations"
In his talk yesterday, Senator
Monroney in a follow-up remark
to the TV broadcast cancellation
statement. said it was probably
just as we'll that the Republican
presidential candidates programs
had been Cancelled because "Eisen-
hover looks ten years older on tele-
vision and talks so years younger.
Hes great with the teenagers,
he continued, land with the
lower ages. he's a rival for Hop
along Cassidy"
Senator Monroney expressed
confidence that the Democrats
will win by carrying the South,
the border States, Illinois. Cali
fornia, Washington and some OF
the Middle Western States.
He warned of the dangers OF
overconfidence, however, and
urged continued effort by cam
paign volunteers. He particularly
asked members of the local club to
'go out and work in Montgomery
County" for the election of Mrs
Stella Werner to the House OF
Representatives.
In another broadside at the op-
position. Senator Monroney de-
clared that "the Republicans are
believing in a supernatural cam
paign-for three reasons. They
expect to crash the solid South:
