Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
made her pitch to President
Kennedy for more jobs for
women because she had re-
ceived hundreds of letters
on the subject, sources close
to the former First Lady said
today.
Women from across the
country had written Mrs.
Roosevelt that they
did not feel women were
being given sufficient recog-
milton in appointments to
jobs on the New Frontier.
Many women also had
talked to Mrs. Roosevelt on
the subject at the meetings
she is continually addressing
across the country.
No Spokesman
Theme of these letters and
discussions was a feeling on
the part of the women that
they had no strong spokes-
men or champion in inner
Kennedy circles, hence were
asking Mrs. Roosevelt to use
her enormous prestige on
their behalf.
The three-page list of quail
fled women Mrs. Roose-
velt presented to the Presi-

WHEN THE MAN Of the
house begins q remOdeling
Job, something has got to
give - as this homemaker
found out:
1--WE had q bay window
filled with African violets for
q number Of years. I keep
them on antique saucers for
q colorful display in an early
American dining room that is
decorated in mulberry and
pink. My husband. aided by
an architect, has decided the
bay window seat must go in
the interest Of q remodeling
plan. The dining room table
will be put in that area when
the dining room is made
smaller, and there will be no
room for my plants. I can't
use glass shelves as it will
throw the room off balance
and spoil the window. Do you
have any suggestions? 1 have
70 plants that need the light
from this window"
Tile Shelves
Why not have tile shelves
made and set up like a NOV
able book case. 1t could be
cut to the width you need.
assuming the tiles are avail
able In that size. Vinyl tiles
are available lin charming
patterns such as Della Robia
and Delft designs that would
maintain an old look in the
room and go well with violets.
Ceramic tiles also would be
pretty, and obtainable in the
solid color that would blend
well in the room. Be sure the
shelves are not so high how
ever that you couldn't con-
veniently water them.
Another husband-window
problem is this one:
My husband insisted on
putting 9 large window on
the sunny side Of q house
because he wanted the view.
Now we are left with the
alternative of screening out
the view with draperies or
blinds or having the room
too sunny. Have you run into
q good solution on this one?
Most people up against this
problem use attractive blinds
during the sunny hours. An

other suggestion includes
toning down the brightness
by painting the room with
colors that absorb q great
amount of light, such as blue
and green.
Cleaning Problem
Here's q chair cleaning
problem:
How do you clean splint
chair statS?"
One cleaning mixture that
also protects against wear
and may be used on cane,
rush and splint seats is made
by mixing one-fourth gum
turpentine and three-fourths
boiled linSeed oil. Put the
mixture into q jar and shake.
Pour hot water into q cup
and enough of the turpen-
tine-linseed mixture over it
to cover the hot water. Dip
q cloth into the oily mixture
on top Of the water and ap-
ply 1t to the top and bottom
of chair seats, using o brush
to remove accumulated dust
and dirt and to scrub the
splint. Each time the hot
water in the cup cools, 1t
should be discarded and q
new bath Of the fluid made.
The mixture is flammable so
1t should not be reheated.
Wipe the mixture off with q
cloth wrung out Of warm
water.
Careful attention should be
given to the selection Of
colors, especially In the
kitchen. A woman spends a

part of the house, and II she

BERLIN, Sept. 2 (AP).-
Communist East Germany has
exiled the Rev. Kurt Scharf,
head Of Germany's biggest Prot

with the charge that he headed
an Illegal group unfriendly to
peace.
The Red regime yesterday

Mr.. Scharf is chairman OF

is the only major institution

Bowler Hats Attack
British Wage Freeze

LONDON, Sept. 2 CNANA) -
The bowler hats" of Britain
in the United States they
would be called white collar
workers-are on the march.
joining blue-collar labor in its
wage challenge to government
and industry.
Civil servants, bank clerks
and school teachers are leading
the factory workers attack on
the Governments new bid to
freeze wages.
The new factor in the wage
war that looms on Britain's
horizon is that white-collar
unions are the most militant
of all. Normally. they were re-
garded as the more conserva-
tive elements of labor, looked
upon with reserve and even
suspicious by most horny
handed leaders Of the indus
trial unions.
There has always been a
clear social distinction in Brit
ain between the industrial and
white-collar workers. The lat
ter, however humble his posi-
ton. still sometimes wears a
black bowler hat and carries a
rolled-up umbrella as symbols
of his respectability.
Slow to UnioniZe
A writer once called them
that vast army of bowler hats
that stands between England
and social revolution" They
were slow to unionize, but their
unions have increased in size
enormously in the past 10
years.
Now they are expected to
come out with some of the
strongest attacks on the wage
restraint policy when Britain's
equivalent to the AFL-CIO, the
Trades Union Congress, meets
next week in Portsmouth.
One immediate reason for
this is that the Governments
new policy hits many of the
white-collar workers hardest.
Chancellor Of the Exchequer
Selwyn Lloyd has called for a
pause in all wage increases and
restraint in profits and divi-
dendS while the country gets
over its present economic diff
ficulties.
Lloyd made 1t clear the Gov
ernment will certainly stand
by this call itself. and that
people working for Govern
ment bodies are unlikely to get
wage increases. He even sug-
gested that he might veto any
increases recommended by
arbitration tribunals.
This angered the civil serv-
ice unions. and some others as
well. The National Union of
Teachers. which has long been
pressing wage claims on behalf
OF its poorly paid members, has
talked about a teachers strike.
But the makings of this new
militancy go back farther than
the Governments new wage
Evening star., 1961-09-02

policy. Signs Of it have been
seen for the past two years.
The National Union of Bank
Employees which probably
sports more bowler hats than
any other union in the country
threatened a strike for the
first time last November, in
a dispute with the Derby
Trustee Savings Bank. The
bank gave in.
The National Association of
Local Government Officers
amended its constitution this
year to introduce a strike
clause.
That would have been un-
thinkable a generation ago." an
official Of another union re-
marked. Strike was a dirty
word to them then. Beneath
their dignity"
See More Improvement
One reason for this militant
behavior is that in terms Of
wages and other benefits, in
dustrial workers have seen far
more improvement in the last
10 or Is years than white
collar workers, narrowing the
gap between them.
Another was pointed out by
a high official of the TUG
recently: Attenuation threat
ems the jobs of bank cashiers
and others far more than
workers on the factory floor, {"
he said.
Political pundits are watch
ing this situation with much
interest. For If Premier Harold
Macmillan's Conservative Gov
ernment alienates the middle
class, it will lose much of its
support.
