Equality For Women

Anyone who figures that the bat
ties for equality between men and
women have all been fought and
won is mistaken. Though Ameri-
can women have enjoyed suffrage
for some 40 years, there are still
inequalities in the professional and
business worlds.
In many other countries, the
rights of women are far more cur
tailed than they are here. Vast
numbers of them are considered,
at best, second-class citizens, and
relatively few enjoy the right to a
voice in their government.
The persistence of the idea that
women are not quite up to taking
part in intellectual activity was il
Illustrated recently in England. Brit
aims ruler is woman, and women
have ably occupied the B ri t j S h
throne in times past, yet females
are still barred from attending
Cambridge University Union debat-
ing sessions. The rule was breach
ed for the first time the other day
w ucu I'LL &C lCliIe1lC uioCi
entered the debating hall to listen
The topic for debate, as it happen
ed, was "This house has no con-
fidence in her majesty's govern
ment"
Well, the girl students showed
that they have no confidence in
what their vociferous male hackers
have described as "the niggling,
absurd and out-of-date rule" bar
ring women from the debates. They
were ousted from the hall, but it
is a fair guess that this is not the
end of the matter.
The incident is of small impor-
tance in itself 1t does point up
the fact that in a world torn by
crucial questions men still waste
their energies defending rules and
traditions that are no longer SEN
sible. Women have demonstrated,
again and again, that they are the
intellectual, and certainly h e
moral, equals of men. Far from be-
ing denied the right to hear mems
debates on important questions,
they should be allowed to play a
much greater role in public and
professional life.

A two-phaSe program to in
augurate the scientific study of
wild animals in captivity is
planned in the S1,664,00O budg-
ct for fiscal 1868 submitted by
the National Geological Park
today to the Commissioners.
Purpose of the plan, accord
ing to Zoo Director Theodore
Reed, is to develop scientific
geological data for use by the
public and scientific groups
The study would involve ami
NAL habits, adaptability to cap
tivity growth patterns, health
and disease factors, pSycholog-
ical behavior, nutrition and
proper methods of display.
Among a total of 80 new po-
sitions sought for the Zoo are
a zoologist and a pathologist to
launch the program. Total cost
would be $22,252.
No major capital outlay prof.
ects are sought in the 1868
budget request, which is $275,-
900 more than the still unre-
solved 1862 budget. However,
DR.. Reed seeks $12,804 for YER
min control measures at the
park.
Jobs sought in the new budg-
ct include animal keepers,
secretaries, laboratory techni-
clans, mechanics. laborers and
gardeners.

SYLVAN TRAINING
D. c. Asked to Set Up
Shakespeare Troupe

The District Recreation De-

Shakespeare a permanent at
traction here.
Its $3,6O9,633 fiscal 1868
budget estimate to the Com
r1issioners includes $4,000 to
set IN a permanent company
to train actors and to provide
lights, sets, props, costumes
and a sound system for the
annual Shakespeare Festival.
The festival was held for the
first time this summer at the
Sylvan Theater on the Wash
lngton Monument grounds.
The department also is seek
ing S14,542 to add two more
persons to its rowing leader"
program. The program, which
began five years ago, sends the
recreation staff members into
troubled neighborhoodS to keep
teen-agerS away from street
corners and out of trouble.
The program apparently
meets with congressional ap-
proval since the House tenta-
lively added three more "rov-
ing leaders" to the program in
fiscal 1862, although none we're
requested. There were a total
of nine persons assigned to the
program through fiscal 1861.

Mr.. Shea yesterday proposed
"a $4,000 program for such re-
habilitation to the Senate Dis

the fiscal 1862 budget.
Thus, this item could be re-
moved if the 1862 request is
granted.
Ten new investigators would
be added to the Office of
Investigations and Collections
in the fiscal 1868 proposal,
bringing the total to 80. An
overall increase in all personnel
in this office would raise the
total to 56, a rise of 35. The
program would cost $342,232,
an increase of Sl05,132.
Mr.. Shea feels such a boost
would provide the office with
the strength it needs to do the
job.
He is asking for $761,663
more for public assistance
grants on the basis of an
estimated 10 per cent increase
in caseloads, bringing the
monthly average total to 1851
cases. He also asks for 81 new
public assistance workers, some
of whom would be used tC

residents from going on relief,
and to help those who have
become self-supporting again.
The department also is seek
ing to almost double its Office
of Investigations and Collec-
tions to make sure only quail
fled recipients are on the rolls.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea has asked the city heads
for $25,704,872. This is S3,-
519,872 over the working 1862
base, $22,185,O0
The 1863 budget will be re-
viewed and revised by a series
of officials before being sent
to Capitol Hill by the Presi-
dent in the next session of
Congress.
Running late this year, hear
ings on the 1862 budget are now
being held by a Senate District
Subcommittee.
Mr.. Shea would set llp a new
preventive social service unit
for S38,091 in 1868 that would

Tax Claimant

An irate property owner dis
covered yesterday the "emerg-
ency" label on a Maryland
Assembly tax bill does not make
it applicable to this years levy
in Prince Georges County.
Herbert P. Griffith of Forest

the County Commissioners that
he was entitled to a $4,000 eX-
cmption under a 1861 bill Civ
ing tax relief to Prince Georges
residents IS years of age or

come of $4,000 or less and a
five-year residency.

cation said this was an emerg-
Gncy measure and would apply

Not so, replied Robert B.

Even if the Governor had
signed the bill the day it passed
the exemption could not be ap-
piled to this years tax bills

added.
The Commissioners said if
lawmakers had intended relief
on this years tax bills they
should have specifically said so
in the law.

thing is a mess" reported MI

Mr.. Matthias referred to a
section of the bill requiring the
filing of exemption applica-
tions 20 days prior to the date

To get an exemption in

things going through life" re-
piled Mr.. Griffith.

The Silver Spring Board of
Trade last night went on record
as opposed to a public accom-
modationS law for Montgomery
County. BY the end Of the eve
ming, however. the businessmen
and three others on their side
were far outnumbered by wide
spread support for the pro-
posal.
The views expressed at the
last of two public hearings
called by the County Council
to discuss a measure which
would outlaw racial discrimina-
ton in businesses serving the
general public.
Forty-two groups and lndi-
viduals testified. Four were
opposed. Last Thursday. the
first night of the hearing, 81
testified. with five opposed.
The lopsided 87-to-9 total
surprised even proponents of
the bill, who had expected
stronger resistance to develop
last night.
Measure Called Unclear
: A spokesman for the Silver
Spring Board of Trade. David |
Mcdonald, insisted the mer-
chants were not opposed to |
doing business with Negroes. |
He said they just objected to
being compelled to do so by
'unclear" legislation.
ut can't be denied" he said,
that its morally wrong for
businessmen to discriminate"
But" he went on. there is
some question whether the |
council has authority to pass
the ordinance. The language
should be spelled out and an
effort made at persuasion be-
fore action is taken"
: Mr.. Mcdonald described the
dilemma of merchants who face |
the wrath of some customers if
doors are opened to Negroes.
There is a natural fear of
the customers feeling of preju-
dice" he said. After all, in
retail business the customer is
always right"
S Many Back Proposal
. On the other side of the issue
were representatives of county
teachers, civic groups, labor or
ganizations, churches, the Fed
eral Government and other
merchants.
Spokesman for two beauty
shops gave firm Endorsement to
the proposed law. On Thursday.
a representative of the Sub
urban Hairdressers and Cosmo- 4
tologists Association objected
to it.
John Y. Yoshina, speaking
for the Japanese-American
Citizens League, backed the
proposal because it is morally
right, economically feasible and
supported by the ma ajority."
Mr.. Yoshino a Federal en-
ploye. who is presently seeking
to persuade Route 40 restau-
rant owners to end discrimina-
ton. said a law always helps

Samuel Yudkin. Chevy Chase
book seller. took the witness
stand in his own defense today
in his trial in Montgomery
County Circuit Court for SELL
ing the novel "Tropic of
Cancer"
The State rested its case after
a jury of four women and eight
men reported they had COM
'pleted reading the 318-page
novel by Henry Miller.
The order to read the novel
came from Judge James H.
Pugh after States Attorney
Leonard T. Hardy had asked
the court for a recess to permit
the jurors to read the volume
or said he would read it aloud
to them himself.
After nearly five hours of
reading, the jury foreman sent
a not to Judge Pugh saying:
"An of us have read two
thirds Of the book and many
of us have completed it. We
feel we have read enough. Must
we read the whole book?"
Judge Pugh replied that they
must, and the door closed again
on the jurors. They finished
the reading in about six hours.
Earlier. Mr.. Hardy opened
his case with testimony by
