ISSUE OF LADY GOVERNOR

By ths AsseeLatsa Presa

There's trouble in paradise

Word that President Kennedy

appointment Of . woman Cow
ernor for American Samoa
caused more than q rustic Of
tapa cloth among the heredi-
tary chiefs Of 10000 SamoanS
living on the ~ square miles
Of tropical paradise deep in the
South Pacific.
The chiefs consider 1t In
eonceivable that q woman would
be named their leader when
women are expressly barred
from attending the kaga
bowl ceremony Polynesian
ritual that precedes every inn
portant transaction Of business.
The custom calls for the chiefs
to sit cross-leSsed around the
kaya bowl. drinking the Juice

somewhat paraly2tng the leg
muscles.
The Problem Posed
If the Governor Of the neigh
boring Fiji Islands should
make q ceremonial call on the
Governor Of American Samoa,
the chiefs wondered, how could
the kaya ceremony be carried
out with dignity If the lady
Governor could not attend?
A petition protesting the re-
ported naming Of Marie Cole
Berger, Chicago lawyer and
International CO. operation Ad-
ministration officer, was to be
presented by q group Of Sanio-
ans to Interior Secretary Udall
today.
But Miss Berger disputed the
idea that women cannot achieve
high position in Samoan co.
ciety.
There are q number Of high
chiefs who are women she
said, noting that Queen sala
Masina once ruled Samoa.

added. "And ] have taken part
in the kava ceremony"
Republicans Critics blamed
She said that the title Of
chief Is conferred by reason of
achievement and that she had
been accorded this honor for
her work In Samoa in 1856.
AS q matter Of fact, she added,

there are 200 chiefs row and
many Of them are women.
She said some OF the attacks
on her impending nomination
have come from Republicans
who dislike her because she
criticized Samoan conditions
when she visited the area dur
ing its Republican administra-
ton in 1855. She cited DR.,
Felix M. Keesing as one Of
these Republican critics.

TOKYO, Oct. o (AP)-The
Central Meteorological Agency
reported tonight that Typhoon
Violet has changed course
slightly and likely will. spare
the heavily populated Tokyo

Weather reports, neverthe-

The agency said in an II pm.
report that Violet's center
winds had decreased from las

that its radius Of IT'S miles
would cause IL to envelope some

more than 10 million people

Calls Come In
A press room has been set
up in a small library. Twice
each day q news conference is
held in a room next door. Doc
tors strive to give new answers
to the same old questions. but
basically they add up to this:
Mr.. Rayburn is an extremely
sick man but. yes, there's some
hope.
Somehow the telephone num-
bers Of the press room have got
ten out. and from time to time
calls come in from what seem
to be elderly women wondering
how Mr.. Rayburn is getting
along.
One insisted that a message
be taken to him Immediately
When told that Mr.. Rayburn
was too i'll for that, she said !:

The reporter promised. The
feeling was that Mr.. Rayburn

much the voters still cared.

., We're going to stage a pay
raise drive next year the likes
of which you have never seen. ="
The speaker was William
Doherty, president OF the Ma
tional Association of Letter
Carriers, a group which has
staged some historic-and sue
.cessful-pay raise drives in the
past.
:. Mr.. Doherty's statement is
typical of the intent of. all
postal and Government en-
.ploye leaders. An intensive pay
raise drive for Federal CLASH
fled and postal workers will get
under way when Congress re-
turns in January.
In fact, the pay raise drive
actually will begin before that.
During the next three months
when members of Congress are
home. delegations of Federal
and postal workers in their dis
.tricts and States will start
making personal visits to them
to urge their support of pay
raise legislation.
: Federal and postal workers
won a rs per cent pay raise
last year. but only after the
bitterest pay raise fight in his
tory. 1t was achieved only by
getting Congress to override
President Eisenhower's pay
raise veto. 1t was only one of
two vetoes of Mr.. EisenhoWer's
that was overriden during his
eight years in office-which
shows what a tremendous feat
It was on the part of the postal
and Government employe un.

Although Government and

that the Kennedy administra-

It is very rare when a ma

Thus, getting a pay raise

Local ~ was the last to vote
on the proposal.
Mr.. Matthews said he
couldn't speculate on how the
locals action would affect the
prpfit-sharing plan.
Edward L. Cushman, AMC
vice president, also declined to
comment on how the profit
sharing plan would be affected.
He said we've had no official
notification from the union
and we don't have any official
comment to make.
1t appears that AMC may
have rough sailing ahead. Local

largest AMC local. And Jack
Benz, local president. said last
night this contract will never
be passed through this local"
He indicated the proposal was
defeated by "a narrow margin"
The profit sharing proposal
was not the major stumbling
block. according to the report.
Objections apparently centered
on the elimination Of a five
minute wash-up period and
changes in the seniority system.
The profit-sharing plan pro-

salaried worker schedules since
the strike started.
No incidents we're reported
at either site. Office workers
made no attempt to go through
the picket lines. Instead, they
joked with pickets and stood
around. Pickets barred their
cars from company parking
lots.
The JAW. however, was al
lowing selected maintenance

by Local 800, through the lines.
About $4,000 salaried people
were kept out. MANAGEMENT
had instructed them to avoid
any trouble with pickets.

The stepped up picket lines
activity came as the union and

This became more obvious as
the Nationwide Ford strike
moved today into it's seventh
day, with a settlement Ringing
on solving local issues.
The Ford strike followed a
two-week walkout by JAW
workers at General Motors
Corp. plants last month over

=, May Seek Mandate
The Prime Minister has
decided to seek entry of Britain
into the European Common

observers have guessed that he
would seek a mandate from
the nation before formulating
any such drastic move.
British membership in the
Common Market will strain its

country.
