Uses Feminine Approach
Mrs. Louchheim's approach
to politics is strictly feminine.
She is all sweetness and lady
like guilelessness.
There are some things that
are not going to change. And
1 don't think we would want
them to. BY and large. the
methods by which a woman
has succeeded in private life
will also bring her success in
public life," she believes.
Her supporters contend that
Mrs. Louchheim's feminine ap-
proach may be more in tune
with the millions of women
across the country.
women will come to a 'TV
tea or to see an amusing skit
who would never come to a
straight political meeting"
they aver.
"Tea for TV," another prof.
ect initiated by Mrs. Louch-
helm, is a small gathering in
someone's living room, at
which tea is served and each
visitor is invited to contribute
81 to sponsor Democratic pur-
chase of TV time. More than
$4,000 has been raised that
way to date, $4,000 of it in
Michigan alone.
Always Wrote Skits
Musing the other day over
her penchant for writing skits,
Mrs. Louchheim said she has
been doing it for family gath
erings as long as I can remem-
Der.
"It got so everyone expected
it. If didn't turn out a verse
for Christmas, Easter and
family birthdays I was in
trouble"
She spent days in the Lii
brary of Congress searching
through old newspapers in
order to write a skit for the
fiftieth wedding anniversary of
her husbands parents, she
recalled.
An example of her birthday
versifying is the poem she
turned out a few years ago for
Columnist Doris Fleeson. Titled
"a Toast for Doris" it goes
like this:

Publisher Interested
Mrs. Louchheim has been
encouraged by a publisher to
collect some of her verses into
a book, and she hopes to do
this some day when time per-
mits.
Another publisher has shown
some interest in a novel she
once began. But again, other
duties have interfered, she
says.
"You can't believe how hard
1t is just to make a career out
of writing" she declared.
"It's a strange thing, the
psychology of the public.
When you say you are writ
ing-if you don't have a full
time job, people laugh at you.
I was always getting requests
to help on volunteer projects,
and when I tried to beg off
on the ground that I was
writing something, they acted
like that was the silliest thing
they ever heard"
She has not been too sue
cessful with prose contribu-
tons to magazines, but still
has some hope of cracking
that field of writing too.

derful file of enthusiastic re-
jections," she said with a

Encyclopedia
A. c., Arlington

An encyclopedia will be of
invaluable help to your two
boys throughout their school
years and or into college,
However. I do not think they
would need it at their present
ages-junior high school age
is about when it would come
into use.
During my children's school
years, I cannot recall a night
when they didn't have from
one to six volumes out for
reference. We have C-pt-n's s,
which is written in such a
manner that children can
really understand it. Some en-
cyclopedias use such large and
strange terms that, by the
time the child has looked up
the meanings of the various
words. he has lost the overall
sense of the explanation.
1t is SO much more conven-
lent to have an encyclopedia
in the home than to depend
upon going to the library for
reference. Invariably - child
fashion-they will forget to go
to the library after school, and
that means Nom or Dad drives
them down in the evenings,
and WaitS-and waits.

many times has a teacher as

taken him to an encyclopedia?
Don't for a minute think that

Affiliate Firm
TO TakeAssets

Directors of American Secur-
ity g. Trust Co. yesterday asked
stockholders to approve plan
to create an affiliate corporation
with a net worth of about SIS
million. President Daniel w. Bell
announced.
Stockholders will vote on the
proposal at the trust company's
annual meeting on January is.
Mr.. Bells announcement indi-
Gated the company is clearing
the way for becoming a national
bank eventually.
Under the plan the bank will
transfer assets with a book value
of about 81 million to the new
affiliate corporation. In return,
stock of the affiliate will be dis
tributed to American Security
shareholders on a one-for-one
basis. and the latter will receive
about SO million of the afhliate's
secured obligations.
The assets to be transferred
will be those of the banks real
estate, insurance and travel de-
partmentS as we'll as certain stock
investments.
Mr.. Bell said that current value
of the assets to be transferred
is substantially in excess of the
book value for these assets. The
affiliate he added, actually will
start operation with a net worth
of about SIS million.
Included in the proposed trans
fer will be all of the banks real
estate, such as the site and main
Office building at Fifteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV.
be emphasized, however, that
the banks use of this property on
reasonable terms will be assured
by long-term leases.
A "stapling" arrangement, he
explained, will insure that con-
troll of the affiliate will remain
with the banks stockholders.
I'm submitting the proposal to
stockholders, Mr.. Bell pointed out
that it was expected that the
combined earnings of the bank
and the new affiliate can be
greater than the bank is able to
generate alone.
These assets we propose to
transfer toA the affiliate" he
stated. "are valuable and we
want to preserve such value for
our stockholders if we should
decide to become a national
bank"
The Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency has informally
indicated it would approve the
proposed action and the bank is
seeking a ruling on the tax
exempt features of the distribu-
ton of the affiliate stock to the
banks stockholders.
