Mrs. Roosevelt
Forum Lecture
To Be April 10

The American woman who has
come to be known as the First
Lady of the World" comes to Phoe-
nix on Sunday evening, April 16, as
the third lecturer on the current
Temple Beth Israel Forum Series.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt will speak
on the subject, "Is America Facing
up to World Leadership?
A poll taken by a national maga-
zine recently among its women
readers revealed that Mrs. Roose-
velt is the most popular living
American, and a standard diction-
ary describes her first as "U. 5.
diplomat and writer" and after
that as "wife of F. D. Roosevelt. !"
Her world travels and her work
with the United Nations have left
Mrs. Roosevelt with an attitude to-
ward foreign relations that COM
bines an almost hard-boiled real
ism with a profound faith that
Americans can do what has to be
done if only we know what it is.e
Despite her active participation
in variety of roles, she has found
time to author a number of books,
the latest of which has just been
released entitled "You Learn BY
Living" Her other books include
two autobiographies, "This Is MY
Story and "This 1 Remember;
"On My Own;" ''It Seems to Me-;
and three books for children.
Gilmore Kahnweiler is chairman
of the forum series.

Loch L0mand Seeks Advice from Alaska's Div. of Water & Harbors

A Scotland firm of consulting engineers has requested advice from Alaska's Division of Water and Harbors for the construction. of a harbor installation in his toric Loch Lomond.
 The request, written to Cort Howard, director of the division came as result of an article Howard wrote recently, explain ing how the life expectancy of Alaska's harbor installation had been increased about 1000 per cent by the use of a plastic foam material.
 Crouch and Hogg, Glasgow firm of consulting engineers, wrote Howard last week saying that they had read his article.
 We are developing project for enclosing an area of about 20 acres of Loch Lomond,v the firm wrote, "as harbor for yachts up to 10 tons and small craft to be served by internal jetties, etc, and it seems to us that the system to which you re- fer would suit admirably.
 The Glasgow engineers asked Howard if he would kindly supp ply some information about the size of craft. if they are moored to floating j3etties, and the prob lems of maintaining alignrnent and methods of anchoring."
 Howard noted tllat his article had been written merely to ex- plain to Alaskans why they could expect their harbor installations to last 10 times longer than they had in the past when constructed of native logs.
 He said he hadn't really ex- pected to wind Up as consultant on any installations in Loch Lo- mond, but said that he had pro vided the requested information.
 Although Howard didn't say so, the request for advice could have been more involved. Loch Lomond is only g short distance from 1nonster-ridden Loch Ness and Howard could easily have ended up trying to give advice on how to install a harbor which would be sea-serpent-proof

The White House has issued
a memorandum forbidding
Government employees from Civ
ing Christmas gifts to their of
ficial superiors and the superb
ors from accepting presents
from employees under them.
The memorandum ordered
an end to a widespread prac-
tice in Government for many
years in which subordinate en-
ployes have sometimes given
Christmas presents to their i'm
mediate superiorS and OF h e r
bosses.
The White House memo de-
clared that employees are pro-
hibited by law from giving gifts
to their bosses, and that Of
ficials and supervisors are like
wise prohibited by law from &C
cepting gifts from subordinates.
The White House memo also
warned Federal workers
against accepting gifts or
favors from outsiders who have
Iany dealings with their agen-
cies or departments.

of the position of trust of those
who conduct public business,
1t is advisable to remind all
employees in your agency of the
restrictions, both legal and eth
ical, that apply in regards to
giving and receiving gifts.
Government employees are
forbidden by law to give pres
ents to official superiors or ac-
cept them from employees re-
ceiving lower salaries than
themselves. In addition, our
Government code of ethics pre-
cludes the acceptance of any
favors or gifts that might be
construed as contrary to the
public interest.
The expression of our good
wishes through appropriate
personal greetings rather than
gifts of material value will
maintain the holiday spirit
without the risk of misunder-
standing. 1t will also best main
tain those ethical standards
which the public properly ex-
poets of all those in Govern

On Red China
Refusal Likely,
U. S. Is Confident
BY EARL H. VOSS

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Dec. 15.-Even the Communist
advocates of Red China's ad-
mission to the United Nations
are expecting defeat here to-
day as the General Assembly
heads into a set of showdown
votes on the issue.
The main point of concern
for the United States delega-
ton is how many votes are to
be taken. The fewer the bet
ter, American officials ac-
knowledged, to avoid overem-
phasis on the dwindling sup
port for keeping Communist
China out.
United States strategy is to
establish at the outset of the
voting that admission of the
Red regime is an important
question" requiring a two
thirds vote to pass. 1t will take
only a simple majority to es-
tablish this, and the United
States delegation is sure it has
over half of the 104 General
Assembly votes.
One vote - Tanganyika's -

coming speeches which inter-
rupted the close of the debate
