SWISS WOMEN'S PLACE

The familiar argument woman's place in society is being heard again in Switzerland of two remaining European outposts against woman suffrage (Llchtenstein is the other) Those who would keep women theoretically in the home recently close victory by defeating a natonal referendum consu- tional amendment establishing the obligation of Swiss women to do civil defense work about their dwellings,
 Underlying this vote was the suffrage controversy now before the Swiss Parliament in the form of a proposal by the government for constitutional amend ment granting women full political and voting rights Tn federal affairs If civil defense service for women had been accepted, this would have indirectly estab- hshed womens right to vote All Swiss men must do military service, and major argument against woman suffrage has been that were exempt from such service.
 Swiss women are said to be almost evenly divided over whether they want political rights Those in the industrial areas tend to say yes those in the agrcul tural regions where the traditional concepts of wo- ans place are strongly entrenched tend to say mo-
 One argument of the opponents is that the Swiss political system entails much government by refer endum with frequent trips to the polls, that Swiss housewives wouldn't have time to function as citizens

l6 Rescued From Another Service Plane Accident
tBy The Associated Press)

An 8O-ton Navy Tradewinds flying boat virtually plummeted to an emergency landing in the shallow waters of lower San Fran cisco Bay Friday. It was the fourth since Wednesday in a series of accidents to service craft from Japan to the Azores.
 Only five men of the Al ia- volved in the four miShaps have not been rescued.
 All 16 crewmen aboard the tradewinds counted themselves lucky after a runningwild pro- peller forced the landing-at over 180 miles an hour--and only five men suffered minor injuries. All were rescued within minutes.
 Repairs crews patched the hull of the $2 million transport.
 At Honolulu, 10 crew members of a Navy Neptune patrol bomber were brought in by a submarine, which picked them off a raft after the plane was forced down 175 miles southwest of that city Thursday night.
 The men, unhurt and in good spirits, stood on the subs decks as it docked at Pearl Harbor. They waved and smiled at a crowd of about 100.
 Five men still were missing in the crash of an Air Force tanker plane 100 miles southwest of To- kyo. Japanese rescue crash boats picked up three crewmen.
 Bad weather Thursday forced another Air Force tanker plane to ditch in the Atlantic 200 miles southwest of the Azores. All seven creWmen were rescued.

Army Chief Bo ws To Order Giving ICBMs to Air Force
By FRED s. HOFFMAN

WASHINGTON, R-The na- tion's top-ranked soldier says he has bowed to an order giving the Air Force control over long-range missiles.
 Gen. Maxwell Taylor, the Army Chief of Staff, made it clear yes terday he is taking no part in an Army-Air Force squabble grow ing out of the order by Secretary of Defense Wilson last November.
 Taylor, questioned during " interview NBC's Meet the Press>, said Army spokesmen, including myself, defended before the Sec retary of Defense last November the need for 1,500-mile missile for the Army" adding:
 "We had our day in court, we argued our case and we lost it. So far as I am concerned, that settles the issue upon that point"
 Taylor said Wilson was "a com petent superior and accepted his decisicn."
 In his November order, Wilson specified that the Army should have responsibility for missiles with ranges of 200 miles or less. At the same time, he assigned the Air Force authority over longer range weapons. These would in clude the intermediate range bal listic missile 0RBND, planned to travel 1,500 miles, and the intercontinentaI ballistic missile GCBM, which would have 5,000-mile range.
