Hugh D. Auchincloss'
beautiful. brunei daughter
was explaining how few hus-
bands would have had the
courage and understanding to
let their wives go off in search
Of an education and possibly
a career during the first
four years of married life.
In so doing she paid a trib-
ute to her husband that few
men ever hear from their
wives.
"Newton's is the only hu-
man mind / have ever come
across that is totally equita-
BILE, totally just. and I can
prove it by his allowing me
to go to school for four years
after marriage, by allowing
me to find out whether I
really wanted to be an actress
or not. He is totally capable

her. Also in order to be a
good actress she had to have
that psychology OF Look at
mel, Look at me!", said
Joan.
II found that excruciatingly
boring" stated Mini who re-
called an acting method class
in which she had to spend
two hours pretending she was
locked in a taxi. With her
mind on world crises. she
thought here we might be
blown up tomorrow and I
am pretending I have been
locked In a taxicab!"
She left the Neighborhood
Playhouse, and quickly en-
rolled in graduate history
courses at Columbia ,Univer-
sity. Because she was too
late to take the required
years work. she went back
there In l960-61 to complete
her MA. study and pick up
a degree in journalism at
the same time. She studied
from 9 till $50 five days
a week. took a history semi
mar two nights a week, and
came home every week end
to be with her husband and
child.
SHE GOT HER MS. in
journalism in June 1861 and
she has met all the require
ments for her MA. except
her masters thesis which she
expects to finish at home
by May when the Steers
second baby is due.
The thesis, to be called,
"A Study of Populism in
Mississippi and Tennessee"
is really the story of her
maternal grandfather who
was born in Mississippi and
ran for office in Texas be-
fore he became a Senator
when Oklahoma entered the
Union.
Our talk switched to liter
ature. MY favorite writer
of all time, my favorite critic
and short story writer is Max
Beerbohm." she said. Her two
favorite novelists are John
Hawkes. because "he is really
a poet novelist" and Vir-
ginia Woolfe because one of
her main concerns Is women
"a woman looking out at a
world not primarily as a
woman but as an intellect
having all the problems of
her sex"
Speaking of the problems
of her sex. as a politicians
wife would she make speeches
to women's groups for her
husband? AS educated and
talented as she Is, this would
not be easy for an unpre-
dictable reason. Il love peo-
pie but I love to move

He is the reason I got

THE WORDS OF enchant-
ing Nina Gore AuchincloSs

and depth beyond her "a
years. So did her slip-of-a-
girl appearance with the

feminine manner belle her
intensely active intellect.

AFTER GRADUATING
FROM BRYN MAWR in 1859
Mini embarked on a period
in her life which she
smilingly said sounds like

She started doing research

she went to New York in
the fall where the Neighbor-

as a student actor on the
recommendation Of jeanne
Woodward who won the
Academy Award for her per-
formance in The Three
Faces of Eve" Her mother
had done some acting in bit
parts on broadway and she
had gone out for dramaticS
at Pennington, and although
she had substituted history
and studying for the theater
at Bryn Mawr. she still had
some doubts in her mind
about the stage.
They were soon put at rest.
She discovered that behind
anything glamorous there is
nothing but drudgery and un-
less you love to do a thing

Il HAD BEEN DEDICAT-

An administration bill to re-
store former President Eisen-
hover to a five-Star generals
rank was introduced today.
The honor, which Mr.. Eisen-
hover has said he wants, may
involve some financial sacrifice
for him.
Senator Russell, Democrat of
Georgia, chairman of the
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee, introduced the measure.
It would authorize President
Kennedy to appoint Mr.. Eisen-
hover to the active list of the
Regular Army, in the general
of the Army rank Mr.. Eisen-
hover gave up to become
President.
Senator RuSSell's prepared
announcement said that since
Mr.. Eisenhower is entitled by
law as a former President to
draw a $25, ,0O0-a-year pension
for life, the bill declares that
he should not be entitled to the
pay or allowances of a general
of the Army.
Committee sources said the
compensation Of a five-Star
general is $20,543.36 a year,
but that since nearly $4,000 of
this is tax free. it is more
advantageous" than the tax
able $4,000 presidential pen
sion.
Senator Russell said the bill
also provides that the pay and
allowances of any military as
sistantS assigned to Mr.. Eisen-
hover in his status as a gen.
eral should be deducted from
the $50.000 provided by law for
a former Presidents office and
staff.
Mr.. Kennedy told a news
conference yesterday the for
mer President should have the
honor because of his out
standing military record and
the great affection and regard
that the people of this country
have for him."
Mr.. Kennedy said he had

Linkletter and Ronald Reagan
and Mayor George Christopher
of San Francisco.
All said Mr.. Nixon's public
life is far from overland that
they expected him to lead the
Republican Party in years
ahead.
Mr.. Nixon, who received con-
gratulatory proclamations from
Mayors of two dozen cities in
the Los Angeles metropolitan
area, said:
1T would be easy for Pat

British Hit
On Rhodesia

SALISBURY, Southern Rho
desia, Mar. 2 (AP).-Prime
Minister Roy Welensky today
won overwhelming support from
the Central African Federation
Parliament in his fight against
Britain's plan to give Negroes
greater self rule in Northern
Rhodesia.
Before parliament's 44-7 vote,
Sir Roy announced he is, willing
to talk over constitutional
changes for the territory when
he flies to London tomorrow for
the conference of Common
wealth prime ministers.
1T is impossible to put up the
shutters against the wind of
change" he declared. I'VE are
perfectly willing to accommo-
date ourselves to these winds of
shange-in the right way and
in the right degree. 1t was on
the basis Of this philosophy that
we were able to welcome the
new constitutional proposals
for Southern Rhodesia."
Southern Rhodesia, which
has self rule in local affairs
under a white minority, makes
up the federation along with
Northern Rhodesia and Nyasa-
land.
Under the British plan, the
Negro majority of northern
Rhodesia would be assured of
one-third Of the seats in the
territorial assembly. But Sir
Roy insists it opens the door
to Negro control of the assem-
bly,. He told Parliament that
Britain is trying to give Afri-
cans too much too soon.
At one point, he declared
the British government doesn't
care if we starve or prosper
here" as long as Britain can
make obeisance to nationalism
and anti-imperialism in world
councils.

The unsuccessful Republican
presidential candidate, in his
first public appearance since

his immediate plans are to get

Fund Asked
To Thwurt
'Bugging'
By the Associated Press

Echoes Of the plugged eagle"
in the American Embassy in
Moscow were heard today in a
State Department plea for a
crash program to combat
eavesdropping on diplomatic
secrets.
The request for $637,OOO to
pay for experts and devices to
detect and nullify "eavesdrop-
ping techniques beyond our
present capabilities" was in
testimony made public today
by the House Appropriations
Committee.
William o. Boswell, State
Department security director,
told the committee that over
SO per cent of the "eavesdrop-
ping devices so far discovered"
have been found by States own
security men.
Last year Henry Cabot Lodge
then United States Ambassador
to the United Nations, disclosed
that a microphone had been
found concealed in an American
eagle plaque on the wall of an
office of the United States EN-
bassy in Moscow. Mr.. Lodge
did not make it clear when this
bug" had been discovered, but
there were indications it was
several years before he made
his U. N. speech about it.
Mr.. Boswell told the commit
tee more funds were needed be-
cause the science of electronic
eavesdropping has progressed
beyond means of detecting the
devices.
He called for a crash pro-
gram" to meet new and
threatening developments"
The security officials expla-
nation of how foreigners listen
in secret to what American
diplomats say in private was
censored from the testimony
made public by the committee.

his mind what to do. : The
