Although it won't be proven
during the visit of President
Goulart of Brazil, the Ken
nedy administration has once
again earned the gratitude Of
the newswomen of Washing
ton.
The first time was when it
was clearly stated that the
forthcoming White House

dinner for the President on
April q would be open to
women members of the as
sociation as well as the men.

gross misunderstanding "A
fear and trambling on the
part of the NPC that the
Women's National Press Club
is trying to worm its way
into membership in the NPC.
1t may have been true once,
but 1t is not today. Most of
the WNPC members feel so
strongly about the purely
professional status of their
own club, they voted down a
proposal last year to merge
with the American NewSpa-
per Women'S Club because,
like the NPC, it has a large
group of associate members
who have no connection with
the neWSwriting or broadcast
ing profession.
BONNIE ANGELO, presi-
dent of the Women's Ma
tional Press Club, said, 1T
is not a matter of club mem
bership or one club against
another. We are not against
anybody's club. 1t is simply
a matter of covering a United
States guest of international
Importance on a basis of
equality"
The men who run the NPC
have deemed it fair enough
to bar qualified women news
writer's from a ttending
luncheons for top foreign
guests as long as they could
hear the speech from the
balcony where one suspects
they hoped their presence
would not be too apparent.
Some of the gentlemen jour-
naliSts even thought a food
less place in the balcony was
tantamount to attending the
luncheon.
They even persuaded the
State Department the bal
cony was good enough until
one of that department asked
the newswomen what was
wrong with the balcony and
was confronted with this re-
ply: do you ask a Negro in
Jim Crow land what's wrong
with the back of a bus?"
Undoubtedly, some of the
men in the NPC will welcome
a change in arrangements
for these talks of world i'm
portance. OF the 2,908 men,
bers in the club, only 1,157
are journalists. The others
are ex-newspapermen, press
agents, lobbyists, business
men, and so forth. Obviously
there are times when men,
ber working reporters can't,
get into a luncheon of 500
because some non-newsman
got there first.
FOREIGN WOMEN DIP
LOMATS in Washington will
be pleased, too. 1t hurts the
cause of women in their own
countries, they frankly say,
when their own chiefs of
state come to America and
see women relegated to an
unequal position.
1t may we'll be that the
standing committee of cor
respondents for the Senate
and House press galleries
will end up by handling all
such joint press luncheons or
conferences. A respected COM
mittee, thoroughly versed in
the knowledge of which men
and women write about news
and not sports, for instance,
it has a big enough staff to
handle arrangements, tickets,
etc.-a staff of IL and a full
time secretary.
Whoever handles it, it
looks as if the 62d year in
the goth century will finally
witness the end of discrimi-
nation against women re-
porters, and President Ken

United States and there is a
meeting (press meeting) that
all reporters should be well
come on the basis of equality.
That is not a social occasion,
but a working occasion"
Thank you, Mr.. President!
Evening star., 1962-03-04

Goulart visit - one of the
new two = day Presidential
Guest visits - will be too
short to include a press
luncheon. On the day of his
arrival, April 3, he will lunch
at the White House and on
the second day he is expected
to lunch at the Pan Ameri-
can Union. His only press
conference will probably be
an informal one held at the
White House after the lunch
con there.
But the interesting fact to
the newSwomen in town is
that Mr.. Salinger said of a
press luncheon for a visiting
chief of state, IF they do
have one, it will be under
the sponsorship of the White
House Correspondents" This
means that the only thing
under consideration was a
luncheon open to women
members of the WHOA as
well.
Thus it looks as If the
press battle of this century
is coming to an end - the
battle between the accredited
newSwomen of Washington
and the National Press Club
which insisted that a visiting
chief of state should make
his only address to WASH
ington reporters within the
confines of a private club and
at a luncheon attended by
men only.
Sometimes we women re-
porters have had to pinch,
not ourselves, but our type
writer's to be sure they were
really clicking. We couldn't

Student Tours
Study Asked

Springtime flights to Eu-
rope by Arlington high school
students are growing so popu-
lar that Supt. Ray Reid thinks
the school board should take a
searching look at their value in
costs.
Two years ago, SO students of
French inaugurated the trans
Atlantic "field trips" with a
nine-day tour of France. Last
year 140 language pupils visited
Spain and France.
Now teachers of history, So
cial studies and even English
are suggesting that their wards
would profit from a couple of
weeks of on-the-spot study
abroad. And airlines, with many

TALLY empty. are stimulating
the impulse for such study by
offering a attractive charter
rates.
Reaction of the teen-agers
who have made the trips in the
past has ranged from the high
ly faovrable to the glowing.
However, confronted by the
likelihood Of increasing requests
for overseas tours, Mr.. Reid
points out that they pose sew
eral problems.
One consists of arranging in
Surance for both instructors
and pupils. Another is the time
lost from regular classes. A
third is the financial burden
upon parents which often falls
just a few months before they
assemble money for their chill
dren's first year of college.
Another factor school au-
thorities did not mention pub
licly, but which they cite
privately is the psychological
impact on those unable to join

You are hearing a lot of noise
today about the right size"
How ridiculous can you get?
When you stop to think of it
there is no such thing as the
right size car for everybody
any more than there is the
right size shoe for everybody.
Chrysler Corporation offers six
different makes of cars and a total
of "a body styles.
None is the right size, the right
price, the right Car for everybody.
Each is the right size, the right
price, the right car for somebody,
Except for the sports jobs with
bucket seats, all give you traditional
slx-passenger comfort.
All have what our engineers call
"fattree performance" which means
a lot more action on a lot less gas.
All have the easy handling and
riding qualities which get rave
notices from the automotive writer's.
All, in every price class, have
something extra built into them
which is the best way we know of
to win new customers and sell more
automobiles.
The right size is one thing. That
depends naturally on the size of
your family-and on whether this
is to be your main car" or a
second car.

Ifyou're feeling bewitched, both
cred, and bewildered by all the 288
different models of cars available

makes), here's how we can help.
To provide you with a quick and
easy guide to selecting the fright
car" for your family, your garage,
and your pocketbook, we offer the

we sent you for a "try-it-for-size"

Kefauver Hits
Rail Merger

Senator Kefauver, Democrat
of Tennessee, today called the
proposed merger of the Penn
sylvania and New York Central
Railroads a giant step toward
railroad monopoly" as he
urged President Kennedy to
set up a commission to deal
with mergers in the transpor-
tation industry.
Speaking in the Senate, he
also called on the Justice De-
partment to investigate mo
nopoliStic effects" of the pro-
posed merger and to take an
active role in opposing it.
The Senate'S leading trust
buster said the New York Cen
tral-Pennsylvania merger also
might affect national defense.
He said the Government should
determine whether this pro-
posed shrinking of our vital
transportation system may not
put us in a posture of weak
ness if, as and when an emer-
gency arises"
The Senator objected to the
Interstate Commerce Commits
Sion'S handling of recent merger
applications on a case-by-case
basis. He said this has resulted
in a tendency toward regional
monopolies. He suggested that
IA merger applications now
pending could lead to super
consultations of economi C
power"
Senator Robertson, Democrat
Of Virginia, chairman of the
Joint Committee on Defense
Production, also took the floor
to criticize what he called the
irregular" manner in which
the guaranteed-loan program of
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is being administered.
He said the ICC has requested
legislation to authorize limited
Federal grants to help main
tain rail passenger service.
Before such auth hority is
granted, Senator Robertson
said, Congress should take an
other look "at the manner in
which the ICC is Subsidizing"
present operations of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad.

been able to do so.
In a memorandum which the

night, Mr.. Reid does not Sug-
gest that the trips be prohibited
or even restricted. However, he
does think the board might
want to consider all issues in

expression of public opinion re-
garding them so that an official
