Ticket Battle Looms
For Khrushchev Lunch

said the board of the club
would decide on the requests
In regard to the number Of
tickets made available TO
women.
The president also added
that they hoped to get the
State Department accredita-
ton list soon and that re-
porters on that would GER
tainly be given first priority.
List Not Complete
A member of the State De-
partment said that the list
was still under consideration
and was not completed. They
indicated that the press
office would be called in to
work on 1t tomorrow.
AS soon as the Khrushchev
visit was announced, the
Women's National Press Club
cabled the Russian leader
asking him to attend a lunch
con which would be open to
all press. They also sent a
covering letter with q car
bon to Russian Ambassador
Menshikov.
After the National Press
Club luncheon was an.
nounced, the WNPC and the
Overseas Writers protested to
the State Department. Then
followed the request from the
Russians that all groups be
included regardless of sex.
The request was accepted
on the present limited basis.
The reasons that the work.
Ing press group will be so
limited is that the number
Of 400 must include the head
table, Russian guests. State
Department officials and
aides, television equipment
and crew and then the re-
porters.
Other Problems
Another problem to come
up is what about the re-
porter. man or woman, who
is not a member of any of
the three groups but who is
assigned to cover Mr.. Khru-
shchev and is accredited by
the State Department?
Mr.. Lawrence sent out a
letter to NPC members stat
ing "All requests for tickets
may be made by mail by in
dividual active members be-
ginning at noon Wednesday,
September 2. on a first come,
first serve basis. Letters post
marked before noon of that
date will be disregarded."
1t is reported that 600 re-
quests have been received.
In the same letter Mr..
Lawrence also said, Because

Members Of the Women's
National Press Club are wag-
ing a battle against arrange
ments for the press luncheon
September IS at which Pre-
mier Krushchev will be the
guest speaker.
The battle concerns the
number Of women to be al
lowed to attend against the
number Of men.
The National Press Club
Exclusively male) has in
sisted that the luncheon take
place in the ballroom Of the
club which seats 400. instead
Of the large hotels which
could seat two or three times
that many.
80 for Women
The first figure mentioned
on how many women would
be allowed was 80 or 81. How
ever, the WNPC now feels
that even that number will
be diminished due to the
large Khrushchev party which
will be invited on a guest
basis.
Miss Helen Thomas, presi-
dent Of the women's club says
that she has received no
tickets or official word on
the number from Mr.. Will
liam Lawrence. president of
the National Press Club. The
luncheon Is also to include
members Of the Overseas
Writers on a percentage basis.
In attempting to avoid a
war within the WNCP, Miss
Thomas said that a ques-
tionnaire has been sent to
members asking if they want
to attend the luncheon. and
II so what their needs are as
to coverage. The deadline
for the return of the ques-
tionnaire is next Thursday.
At that time. Miss Thomas

bad ones overcome.
A Difference
Mrs. Gaines points out that
there is a definite difference
in children entering kinder
garten when they have at
tended pre-school.
"They 60 in like little
ladies and gentlemen, having
learned many classroom
manners, and it is easier for
them" says Mrs. Gaines.
AS for the future, Mrs.
Gaines says that she will
look for an easier job-one
that doesn't keep her on her
feet quite so much.
However. right now she
plans to rest for awhile-a
month in Florida with a
friend and then a visit with
a daughter in Texas.
"I'll take 1t easy until
Christmas and then see what
Santa Claus brings" adds
Mrs. Gaines with a laugh.
