Mrs. Gladys Knowles, Mon

retary of the national G. o. p.
declared: 1.-THE women are very
stirred up about this. They feel
it was put over on them, and
they resent 1t. The State chair
man did a good sales job. 1t
was all over before most Of the
women knew what was hap

'It makes the committee too
unwieldly, with all those extra
members" she added. But if
they are going to let the men

"They definitely pulled the

national committeewoman. She
is one of the few women who
understood the significance of
the rules change at the time
and spoke against it on the
floor of the 1852 convention.
Mrs. Horace H. Sayre, Okla
homa committeewoman, de-
clared: I'VE haven't done any
effective work on the national
committee since all these extra
members came on. It has COM
pletely changed the cozy, friendly
atmosphere of committee meet
ings. And it's very unfair to
the women. We should have
equal representation"
''Unfair to South"
Mrs. Howard Coffin, national
committeewoman for the Dis
trict, pointed out that in addi-
ton to discriminating against
women. the new rule is particu-
larly unfair to Southern States,
many Of which have little
chance to get the bonus seat for
their State chairman. (The 10
States whose State chairmen are
not now on the national COM
mittee all are from the South)
"The rule is even more unfair
to the voteless District of CO.

ALL" Mrs. Coffin added.
Many other committeewomen
expressed equal concern, bVt did
not want to be quoted.

this change was slipped through
toward the close Of the Repubn-
can National Convention Of 1852
when most Of the delegates were
concentrating on the nomina-
ton Of candidates.
The new rule upsets the his
toric balance Of one man and
one woman on the committee
from each State. which has been
in effect since shortly after
women got the vote.
Provides Bonus" Seat.
1t provides for the granting Of
a bonus" seat on the National
Committee, with full voting
rights, to the State chairman OF
each State which went pre-
ponderantly Republican at the
last election.
A State can qualify by casting
a majority of its votes for the
Republican presidential nomi-
nee, by electing a State Cover
nor. or by choosing a majority
Of Republicans for the States
seats in Congress, Senate and
House combined.
State ehairmen from 80 States
and the Territory of Hawaii
have been added to the commit
tee under the new rule. Since
the State chairman is almost in
variably a man (all 80 additions
are mem this means that there
now are almost twice as many
men as women on the commit

confusion, doubt and anxiety OF
which there were few symptoms
six months ago. The unity and
purpose which has set Western
Germany of from many of its
European neighbors seems to have
cracked badly under the weight
Of recent developments.
The change is felt strongly
here in Bonn where the "German
problem" is the one sure-f1re
subject Of conversation.
Don't worry" q friend told me
at the beginning Of my trip. tits
not hard to get these people to
talk. The problem is to get them
to shut up."
It was an understatement. In
the days that have followed. a
generous assortment Of poll
ticians, businessmen. Army OFF,
GERS, fellow-reporters, labor lead
ers, youth-rallyers, editors and
ordinary, Germans had poured
out their special version Of the
German problem. Far from try
ing to hide their new national
neurosis from strangers, most
Germans seem almost patheti-
cally eager to tell him ali about
it.
No Longer Docile.
The result is convincing proof
that the thinking German is no
longer the docile political animal
he was a year ago. For the first
time there are deep thoughts
about the wisdom Of policies
which up to this point have been
taken for granted. There is a
new distrust Of political cliches
and a growing tendency to look
for radical solutions.
To some extent, this may all
be natural enough-the normal
political reawakening Of a coun-
try looking forward to running
it's own affairs again. Like a
patient coming out of anesthesia.
Germany is struggling out of the
coma brought on by 20 years of
tyranny and the shock Of war
Today the German-in-the-street
is beginning to take certain
slight interest in his government.
Gradually, the grogginess and
confusion are wearing of.
Another factor, certainly, Is
the change that has taken place
within the Western coalition it
self. The shift in the German
mood was first noticed soon after
the defeat of the European De-
Tense Community by the French
National Assembly last August.
More than most places in
Europe, the ideal Of a United
Europe caught fire in Germany.
The scheme was grand enough
to capture the German imagina-
ton: Germans were excited by
the prospect OF solving once and
for all many of the problems that

Any such open rule, leaders
said, would prolong the debate
on the bill for at least two weeks
instead of two days.

of West Virginia protested that

complained, "only in an extreme
emergency could there be any

Mrs. Naivig's Storie'
Incredible FEC
Examiner Declares
Has Heard Enough
Of Reversed Witness
In Lamb Hearing
BY the Associated Press

/. The examiner in the Edward
Larub case made it clear today
he has heard all the testimony
he wants to hear from turnabout
witness Marie Natvig.
Herbert Sharfman, Federal
Communications Commission ex-
aminer who has listened to the
Miami Beach (Fla.) divorcee
for II days, said as today's ses-
sion got under way that his only
finding on her statements will
be ''that she's a completely in
credible witness"
Mrs. Natvig was excluded from
the hearing room this morning
when lawyers for Mi. Lamb,
Ohio publisher and broadcaster,
and the commission argued
whether she should be kept on
the stand any longer.
Seeks Dismissal.
The Lamb side has suggested
that she be dismissed. But Jo-
seph M. Kittner, commission
counsel. insisted he wants to get
into the record some letters she
had written representatives to
show she was on a friendly
basis with them even after she
decided to repudiate her testi-
mony against Mr.. Lamb and to
testify commission lawyers had
forced her to lie.
Mr.. Sharfman said:
$50 far as I'm concerned I
see no point in further examina-
ton Of Mrs. Natvig. I'm not
going to make any finding about
coercion. All I can say is that
the witness is completely in
credible"
Takes No Action.
Although Mr.. Sharfman took
no immediate action. 1t seemed
clear that Mrs. Natvig's sensa-
tional testimony was about to be
brought to an end.
Mr.. Kittner contended five let
ters Mrs. Natvig had written to
members Of the commission staff
made it clear. she was in a
completely terrified condition
of mind" at the prospect of fur
ther cross examination by Mr..
Lambs attorneys.
He said this, and not "coer-
cion" by Government lawyers,
probably accounted for her de-
cision to repudiate her testi-
mony.
Mr.. Sharfman replied he rec
ognized that Mrs. Natvig mad
"unduly naligned" commission
staff representatives and that he
had permitted the examination
of her story to go as far as it
had for that reason. He added,

Judiciary Committee for two
constitutional amendments that
would give the District a vote in
presidential elections and voting
representation in Congress. He
introduced the proposal in the
amendment yesterday.
For many years, he said, the
District has sought suffrage. All
these efforts have been futile. he
added. One reason for the stale
mate is caused by the failure Of
Washington citizens to get to-

The suffrage question, he said
''haS been beclouded and sub
merged in various home rule

Out of all this confusion, how
ever. he said stands the impor-
tant fact that permitting District

elections lis recognized as desir-
able by all factions"
Along with this, Mr.. Broyhill
urges a constitutional amend
ment which would give Congress
the power to provide that there
shall be in Congress members
elected by people of the District
''in such numbers and with such
powers as the Congress shall de-
termine." District representa-
ton would be no greater than
that Of any State, under his plan.
He was optimistic over speedy
action by Congress on the vote

dent.
