BY JOSEPHINE LowMAN

Lots of women age before
they should because they are
bored, and one reason they are
bored is because they no longer
feel they are needed.
Therefore, when I learn about
a spot in which a woman who
is past early youth can work
and enrich her own life, make
a living and render a serv-
ice, ! like to tell my readers
about it.
I am talking about the fact
that the Girl Scouts of Amer
lea will need more than 5000
professional workers within the
next five years. judging by their
present rate Of expansion.
I am sure that you already
know of the wonderful work
the Girl Scouts have been doing
for more than 40 years. Today,
more and more local Girl
Scout Councils in large cities
and small ones are employing
paid executives to work with
adult volunteers in carrying
out the Scout program. A re-
quirement for this job is

Wiretopping Is Old Stuff

Telephoning to two of my
friends has recently taken on
the excitement of an adven-
ture. That is because their
exchanges, 1t has been re-
vealed. were among those
tapped by professionals for
purposes that are not clear.
Presumably the tapping has
now ended, but since we don't
know for sure, we still talk as
If we were being eavesdropped
on.
I vaguely remember tele-
phone overlapping from my
reporter days. Only then. 1t
seemed very remote from my
life. The late Dutch Schultz.
a beer baron turned policy king
in the 1930s, was tapped so
constantly both by law en-
forcement authorities and by
his enemies that whenever he
concluded a call. he is sup
posed to have snarled to his
extra-curricula audience,
drop dead!"
Government employees in
Washington have for years
taken overlapping for granted
and important public servants
with big secrets to protect have
talked more or less in code, the
way we used to do on the coun-
try party line which was my
first experience with the tele-
phone. When you'd answer
your two short, two long rings,
you'd sense receivers being
carefully lifted off the hook
and you'd know they were all
there-Miss Jodie, Cousin Lou,
one Of the Ragsdale girls and
so on.
So If there was anything you
didn't want them to know, you
either spoke graphically Of it
or not at all. My only expert
ence with a party line since
those days was during q sum-
mer in rural Maine when the
telephone in my rented house
was on the same line as that
of explorer Richard E. Byrd.
My admiring curiosity made
me take down the receiver al
belt shamefacedly, every time
I heard his ring but the near
est I ever came to listening in
on Polar secrets was when the
laundry in town lost a gar
ment which I understood from
the conversation to have been
a relic of the explorers far
North past.
There was nothing much to
do about party-line listening
except be careful, but wiretap-
ping is a matter of open de-
bate. Some think that under
proper conditions, recordings
of overheard conversations
should be accepted by the court
as evidence. But I'm with the
strong body of opinion against
it. It seems to me that it is
of doubtful value. anyway.
Certainly judging by escape
literature, when persons of evil

OARS PutHat
On Statue
BY the Associated Press

Because of a motherly con-
Germ lest the father of his
country look cold around the
ears. a hat has been added to
the design of a George Wash
ington statue to be erected at
Gettysburg, Pa.
The statue is sponsored by

general, Miss Gertrude Cara

A four-panel bas-relief of
the story of Valley Forge. done
by New York sculptor c. Paul
Jennewein. is being installed
in the memorial tower. Out
side will be a statue of Wash
ington by the same artist,
carved out of stone from Rock
wood, Ala.
Miss Carraway said the origi-
nal design for this statue had
Washington bareheaded. But
we though it would be too cold
for him to have his hat off,"
said Miss Carraway, so a re-
viSed version puts him under
headgear.

BY FRANCES LIDE

A resolution denouncing the
post of "chief of religious
policy" in the United States
Information Agency as a vio-
lation of the traditional sepa-
ration of church and State in
this country was adopted yes
terday by the Daughters of
the American Colonists.
The action was directed at
the Office held by DR.. D. Elton
Trueblood. author and profess
sor of philosophy and religion.
now on leave from Earlham
College in Richmond. Ind. DR..
Trueblood's title is chief of
religious information of the
USIA.
Miss Dorothy Mitchell. a
member OF the District society,
objected to the resolution on
the grounds that DR.. True
hoods work is in the field of
religious information and the
position doesn't imply that he
dictates religious policy.
Later a spokesman for the
USIA told The Star that DR..
Trueblood's title was changed
from chief of religious policy
to chief of religious informa-
ton shortly after he took Office
last April in order to clarity
the position. The DAG resolu-
ton quoted from an Associated
Press dispatch of March Z,
1854, when the appointment
was announced.
Based on Constitution
The Daughters declared the
traditional separation of &C.
clesiaStical from political
realms is based on the Con-
stitution and recommended
that the post be abolished at
once.
The resolution was approved
by a standing vote after a
lengthy discussion. Mrs. Cyrus
G. Martin, State regent of
Tennessee. was applauded
when she warned that what
appears to be perfectly in
nocent post" could develop
sooner or later into a dicta-
torship in that field"
A suggestion that it would
strengthen the resolution to
leave out DR.. Trueblood's name
was opposed by Mrs. Edwin S.
hammers of Texas. She said
the name was included merely
for Qualification and was not
intended to reflect upon DR..
Trueblood.
The resolution was one Of
ii adopted at the final session
of the society's 34th annual
General Assembly at the May
flower Hotel. The report was
presented by Mrs. William L.
Ainsworth, resolutions chair
man.
The Daughters opposed any
revision of the United Nations
charter which would reduce the
sovereignty of the United
States and reaffirmed their
"adamant stand" against ANY
and all forms of world govern
ment." They also reaffirmed
support of the Bricker amend
ment.

In spite of the mile long, or
even five mile long plants which
some companies have, and in
spite of the further fact that
some of these companies employ
tens of thousands Of workers, it
is nevertheless also fact that
most Of the business in the
United States is done by small
companies.
In 1947, the last year for which
the statistical abstract of the u.
S. has complete information.
there were 240,881 manufactur-
ing establishments in the United
States. OF this total number only
1864 employed more than five
hundred wage earners, and out
of the total Of l4,294,304 workers
employed in manufacturing, $50
were employed by establish
ments which had five hundred
or fewer employees.
In wholesaljng, 1861 of the
total number employed were on
the payrolls of companies doing
an annual volume of less than
one million dollars.
In retailing, 684% of the total
