Weaker sex?
Rubbish, says DR.. William G.
Leaman, jr., Philadelphia heart
specialist, who stunned Okla
homa Clinical Society delegates
(mostly male) with the bold
statement:
Women are smarter than
men!"
This weaker sex myth" he
said. just permits the ladies to
live a less exerting life, and out
live their male counterparts by
an average of six to seven years.
"The man beyond so can't re-
sist the temptation to shovel
snow" said DR.. Leaman. Men
like to show of. to prove they
are big and strong"
He said by keeping alive the
weaker sex idea, women don't
have to overexert themselves to
prove they still have their old
vim and vigor.

Weaker Sex Myth Debunked;
Women Just Outfoxinq Men

AS added proof to explode the
age-old myth of female weak
ness, DR.. Leaman said:
women can lose more blood.
Women can stand more
shock.
"They are far better drivers
(sic).
"They can go into a profession
and hold their own provided
men don't give them an inferi-
ority complex.
"They cali hold down a job.
take care of a home and family.
and, at the same time, guard the
supposedly stronger male"
AS a finale, DR.. Leaman add
ed: 1T Is a woman's world if she
wants to admit it and claim it..
But perhaps she would be un-
wise to do So"

Virginia Educators Urge
12-Month Teaching Year
BV the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Oct. 29.-The
Virginia Education Association s
department of teacher education
today recommended a 12-month
school teaching year in public
schools and five-year college
courses for teachers.
DR.. Raymond B. Pinchbeck OF
the University of Richmond ad-
vanced the heightened school
year as one way to solve Vir-
ginia's shortages of classroom
space and teachers. The aSSo-
citation is holding its annual con-
vention here.
Persons going into teaching
need basic preparations in Eng
lish, literature, mathematics
natural sciences, foreign Ian
guages, history and social sci
enceS, he said.
He recommended that teachers
be required to take these during
the first four years of college,
and that a fifth year be devoted
to pedagogy" including prac-
tice teaching.

Food prices next year will re-
main close to the 1858 average
retail level and farmers prob
ably will continue to get their
present share of the consumers S
food dollar, the Agriculture De-
partment said today.
These predictions, as well as
forecast that food supplies for
1854 will be about as large as this
year, came as Government Off
cials worked on plans to cope
with farm problems.
The agricultural supply and
price statements also came soon
after President Eisenhower said
he would not call a special ses-
sion of Congress to deal with
farmers problems unless the sit
uation was aggravated by re-
newal of the drought or some
other emergency.
Share Put at As Cents.
The Agriculture Department,
in it's report on the prospects
for farmers next year. estimated
that their share of the con-
sumer's food dollar would be
about As cents. approximately
the same as this year. That
figure is 2 cents less than in
1852 and the lowest since 1941.
But it is higher than in most
prewar years.
AS for food costs, the depart
ment reported:
with no marked change in
prospect for consumer income
the demand for food is likely
to continue strong. The rela-

Senator Ives 10 Head
Taft-HartIey. Study
BY the Associoted Press


Senator Ives, Republican, of
New York, long regarded as a
friend of organized labor, today
was appointed acting chairman
of a Senate Labor subcommittee
to study amendment of the
Taft-Hartley law.
Chairman Smith of the full
Labor Committee announced the
appointment. The late Senator
Taft of Ohio headed the sub
committee until his death last
July.
There have been indications
the Eisenhower administration
is aiming for enactment of some
changes in the Taft-Hartley law
early in the new session of Con-
gress. The appointment of Sen
ator Ives at this time appeared
designed to speed action.
Senator Smith said in a state
ment that he was making the
appointment of Senator Ives now
"Since preparatory activity in
regard to changes in the Taft
Hartley Act will continue be-
tween now and the opening of
the second session of the 83d
Congress" on January 6.
Martin P. Durkin resigned as
Secretary of Labor in the Eisen-
hover cabinet last September
because of differences with the
White House over Taft-Hartley
amendments. The cabinet post
since has been filled by James P
Mitchell who presumably will in
due time make administration
recommendations on Taft Hart
ley amendments to the Ives sub
committee.

Action by Congress
Forced Atom Plant
Start, Democrat Says
Administration Preferred
Privote Enterprise,
HolifieId Declares
ey the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. ga
Democratic member said today
the Congressional Atomic Energy
Committees prodding forced a
start on a Government financed
atomic power project despite
Eisenhower administration ad-
vice to let private companies do
it.
Representative Holifield, Demo-
crat. of California said admins
tration spokesmen proposed to
the committee last summer what
he called a danger zone of in
action" in the field of peacetime
uses Of atomic power.
After closed hearings, he said,
the committee was unable to
discover any sound basis for the
proposition that if the Govern
ment would step out of the
atomic power picture, American
industry was ready and able to
pick up where the Atomic Energy
Commission left off,"
Gives Credit to Congress.
Mr.. Holifield said Congress,
not the Executive departments,
is responsible for last weeks an
nouncement that the Acc is
launching the first industrial
atomic power plant.
In remarks prepared for a
panel discussion at the National
Industrial Conference Board
meeting, Mr.. Holif1eld said the
proposed financed
plant probably will cost about
$40 million eventually and will
be of 'incalculable benefit"
Last June and July, he said:
THE Atomic Energy Commits
sion and the National Security
Council were busy canceling ex-
listing atomic power projects and
revising the budget on the stated
assumption that private industry
was ready to pick up the ball if
only the Government would step
aside and make way for private
enterprise. -.
IF we had taken seriously this
advice from the executive de-
partments, there would have
been created a danger zone of
inaction in the atomic energy
program, marked by curtailed
Government activity on the one
side and lack of private per-
formance on the other.
Says Evidence Was Lacking.
THE blunt fact is that the
joint committee had received no
reliable evidence whatever to sup
port the contention that private
induStry-or any segment of it
was prepared to invest the large
sums of money required to carry
forward the atomic power de-
velopment program. :"
Mr.. Holifield said the commit
tee chairman, Representative
Cole, Republican, of New York,
took the matter to the House Ap-
preparation Committee. The re-
suit, he said. was an ALLEGATION of
81 million for this fiscal year Ito
begin construction of a full-scale
atomic power plant"
This undertaking, I reiterate,
was commenced on congressional,
not executive, initiative" Mr..
Holifleld said.

Infi|tration by Reds

Access to War Secrets;
Cites Link to SobeIl
BY the Assoeioted Press

Chairman Velde of the House
Un-American Activities Commit
tee said today subcommittee
has been holding hearings re-
garding Communist infiltration
OF the United States Navy in
Boston during World War II.
Mr.. Velde said in a statement
that eight witnesses have been
heard, seven of whom declined
to answer pertinent questions
on the grounds of possible self
incrimination.
Some of these witnesses-none
OF whom were identifed-had
access to confidential and re-
stricted information while in the
Navy Department, Mr.. Velde said
Deny Party Membership.
He added that a number of
the witnesses had been given
loyalty hearings by the Navy and
had been kept on the job after
they denied membership in the
Communist Party.
"The particular Communist
cell under investigation was so
secret that its members could
during the loyalty investigation
successfully deny membership in
the Communist cell without fear
of being identified" Mr.. Velde's
statement said.
He stated that some of the
ramif1cations involved in the in
vestigation "tie in with the ex-
pose of Morton Sobell,, one OF
those convicted in the julius
Rosenberg case" Rosenberg and
his wife, Ethel, were electrocuted
for atomic espionage. Sobell
drew a prison term.
Got Army Contracts.
One witness who declined to
answer questions of the subcom-
mittee regarding Communist
membership, Mr.. Velde said, has
admitted receiving contracts
with the Army after he left the
Navy Department. One of these
contracts, he stated, concerned
the use of restricted photographs.

President Backs
All Republican
Office Seekers
White House Defines
Position; Troust Of
New Jersey Indorsed
By Joseph A. Fox,

President Eisenhower wants to
see elected all Republican candi-
dates running for Office, including
Paul L. TroaSt, who seeks the
New Jersey governorship, the
White House said today.
Mr.. Troast is currently under
fire because he wrote a letter
seeking executive clemency for
Joseph Fay, convicted labor ex-
tortioner.
James C. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, said the state
ment today was prompted by
numerous inquiries about whether
the President was withdrawing
support from other candidates
when he told a news conference
yesterday he was interested in
the success of Republican con-
gressional aspirants.
Will Stress Record.
The Eisenhower statement
brought considerable" questions,
according to Mr.. Hagerty, but he
would not comment when asked
If the TroaSt organization had
asked for a White House state
ment. Gen. Eisenhower has
stressed he is not going into in
dividual fights, but he made it
clear yesterday he will have no
hesitancy in pointing to the ad-
ministration record.
In amplifying the statement
on the Presidents support of
congressional candidates, Mr..
Hagerty said that 'iust so
therell be no misunderstanding,
that applies likewise to other
candidates who run for Office on
the Republican ticket"
Photographed With TrOast.
Gen. Eisenhower had his pic
ture taken with Mr.. Troast dur
ing his Atlantic City visit Oc-
tober 6. He told questioner
at his news conference yesterday
that at that time he had never
heard of the Fay incident nor of
Mr.. Fay himself.
This statement left unanswered
the question of whether there
would have been such a picture
If Gen. Eisenhower had known
about Fay or the letter.
Meanwhile, most Republicans
seemed satisfied from the Presi-
dents news conference state
ments yesterday that they will
have ample White House help in
next years battle for control of
Congress.
Gen. Eisenhower said a week
ago he wasn't going to use the
presidency as an agency in par
tiSan elections. Yesterday he
told his news conference that to
say he wasn't interested in re-
tanning a Republican Congress
was like saying he had no in
terest in drawing his next breath.
While he stuck to his state
ment he won't campaign for
individuals. he said in response
to questions he likes posing for
pictures with candidates. may
pat some OF them on the back
and will do his part, within
bounds, to publicize the Republi-
can record to the voters.
About All Expected.
Senator KnoWland of Cali
fornia, the Republican floor
leader, said in an interview with
the Associated Press that is
about all anybody could ex-
pect the President to do.
Nobody expects him to go out
ringing door BELLS" Senator
Knowland observed.
Senator Duff, Republican, of
Pennsylvania one of the first to
back Gen. Eisenhower for the
presidency last year, said that so
far as they go the Presidents
plans are fine.
But l think he will find as
time goes on that he is going to
have to dig deeper than that"

Hunting Ban Lifted
In Most Of Virginia
As Rain Continues
Bonus Fall Raises Total
In D. c. to More Than
z Inches IN z Duys

Rain. caused the Virginia
Game Commission today to lift
it's Statewide ban on hunting
in most areas. The Washington
area fer the second day was
pelted by rain to bring a total
here of more than two inches.
All types of hunting had been
called off in Virginia last Sat-
urday after the threat of forest
fire mounted ir the worst
drought in more than 20 years.
Ban in 4 Counties.
The two-day rainfall reduced
the fire hazard sufficiently to put
hunters back in business every
where but in the counties of Isle
of Wight, Nansemond, Norfolk
and Princess Anne.
Virginia also announced imme-
date reopening of it's vast Jeffer-
son and George Washington
forests to the public. The is
million acres had been closed
to picnickers and campers this
week because of the fire danger.
More than three-quarters of
an inch was measured at the
Weather Bureaus airport sta
tion overnight, bringing to POT
inches the total since a 50-day
drought was broken Tuesday.
Formed Over CaroIinas.
Last nights rain did not ex-
actly catch the Weather Bureau
by surprise, but it's formation
over the Carolinas was so un-
certain and fast-acting, yester-
days early forecast did not an
nounce it.
The rain famed out over
much of the Middle Allan
tic section, bringing additional
moisture to fields and forests
dried out during an almost rain
less late summer and early fall.
Agriculture experts regarded
it as a fine start toward eventual
solution of their problems, but
still saw a need for Federal re-
lief.
Further Aid Sought.
The Virginia State Agricul-
tural Mobilization Committee
forwarded to the Agriculture De-
partment the names of 18 addi-
tional counties recommended for
eaSy-pay loans and bargain
priced grain
They included Fairfax. Fau-
quier. Clarke, Loudon, Surry,
Smyth, Russell, Pulaski, Bu-
chanan, Bland, Giles, Grayson,
Prince Georges, Prince William,
Scott, Shenandoah, Tazewell and
Westmoreland Counties.
Parke c. Brinkley, Virginia
agriculture commissioner, was
to meet today with Agriculture
Department men to map a pro-
gram for lower-priced hay for
Virginia farmers. The progam
was expected to use more than
$125,000 toward the purchase of
up to 10000 tons of hay.
The rains have leSsened the
danger of forest fires, which
already have cost an estimated
$450,000 in Virginia forests since
September /.
Warning in Maryland.
Maryland experienced con-
siderable benefit from the rains,
except in particularly dry west
ern counties. Foresters warned
that high winds quickly would
dry out the woods and restore
the fire danger.
The Weather Bureau looked |
fer the moving rain condi- |
ton to taper off late today, but
forecast cloudy skies tonight and |
tomorrow. A low of 46 was fore !.
case for tonight, which might
be something of shock to the |
cherry blossoms which surpriS-
ingly bloomed at Hams Point
yesterday.
