Best Foot Forward

Katie Louchheim. director OF

neither the Helen Hokinson nor
the battleaxe stereotype,
Mrs. Louchheim is a viva

cuts n handsome figure at a
head table. Her manner is
warm. But she does not tlutter
and she does not gush. on the
other hand. she has not de-
veloped a reputation Tor that
kind Of infighting that mascu-
line opinion additionally i'm
putes 10 the head OF large
women's organizations.
She brushes aside the notion
that women In groups tend
more TO backbiting and resent
ment-nurturing than herded
men. In any case. she has a
simple formula for coping with
the rivalries and jealousies that
inevitably threaten to bring
discord to party harmony. She
puts her foot forward, thereby
causing others TO do the same.
Takes Care Of Self
From this. 1t Is by no means
to be construed that the Demo-
Gratis leading lady is unable TO
take care Of herself. She has
the self-assurance that char
acterizes many denizens Of her

don't need any protection"
Mrs. Louchheim's position
has generally been that politics
is a mans world and that 1t is
the woman's job to do the get
ting along. She turned down
the idea Of a separate budget
for the women's division, and
has in all ways indicated firmly
that there is to be no battle of
the sexes on the Democratic
National Committee where she
is concerned.
Opportunity Is Cited
Women are not being
pushed around by the Demo-
cratic National Committee or

women work and assume re-
sponsibility they can have it,"
Mrs. Louchheim firmly be-
lieves that Democratic women
are working as never before.
