Third Afro-Asian confab Sheds
Little Light On Reds Dispute
Moshi, Tanganyika

The Third Afro-Asian Soli-
darity Conference held last
month in this small Tan
ganyikan town overhung by
the snow of Mount Kffiman-
jaro, threw less light than ex-
pected on the present state of
theological conflict between.
soviet Russia and the Cop.,nu-
mist Chinese.
This was. partly due to the
frmness and skill of the Tan
ganyikan chairman, Oscar
Kambona, and partly to the
clear signals coming in advance
from various African capitals
that Africans were in no mood
to be bored by this type of
irrelevant dialectic.

There still are new fields
to conquer and such is the
case at Walter Reed Army
Institute Of Research, where
q germ-free laboratory has
been established.
A pioneer in the nursing
service of the Laboratory is
Maj. Maria L. LaConte who
was assigned there in 1860
and is the first nurse to be-
come part Of the medical
team working with different
types of plastic enclosures.
The one approved by this
team will be selected for hos
pital use in the care of pa
tients.
Mai. LaConte was born
July /, 1920 in Bridgeport,
Conn.,, the second of three
children of Anthony and
Amelia LaConte, who came
from the province of Avel-
lion in Italy. The family now
resides in Fairfield, Conn.
And I do so love to go home
whenever I can," said Mai.
LaConte.
Maria earned her R.N. from
st. Vincent's Hospital in
Bridgeport. Conn., in 194l
and entered military service
in 1914. Her Army duty has
taken her to Japan and Eu-
rope. where she made the
most of her spare time visit
ing surrounding countries
and gathering mementos of
her travels.

hair. Her expression In re-

when she smiles dimples ap-

YOUR MONEYS WORTH
Era of Munhunt
Due to Beginin '65
BY SYLVIA PORTER

typical marrying age. And this
aspect which Kennedy hasn't
noted but which some of his
astute economic advisers have
could conceivably postpone or
at least temper the boom.
It's a fascinating angle of
the approaching boom years
which you can have fun with
or take seriously. So here goes.
Half of all the girls in our
country who get married do so
before they are 20 years old; the
median age at which girls mar
ry is 1919. The men American
girls typically marry are two
and one-half to three years
older; the average is % to %.
This means that the girls
born in the great baby boom
years Of 1946-49 will be reach
ing the peak age for marriage
in l965-68 and they normally
would marry the boys born in
1943-46.
But matching up the millions
of boys and girls born in these
years reveals what a Washing
ton official calls "a rather pc
culiar imbalance between the
sexes" and raises the provoca-
tive question, Where are hun
dreds Of thousands Of these
maidens going to find hus-
bandsP" Consider the warm
statistics:
Girls reaching typical mar
riage age in 1865 will outnum-
Der boys they would typically
marry by 90,493. The compari-
son is: 1,597.452 girls born in
1946 against 1,506,959 boys born
in 1943. That's not so bad, but
now look at the plight of the
maidens in 1866.
Girls reaching typical mar
riage age in 1866 will outnum-
Der boys they would typically
marry by 364, 1881 The compar-
ison is 100000 girls born in
Evening star., 1963-01-24

In 1865, We'll enter the Era
of Marriage" in our land. This
is the year the war babies"
finally will be coming Of age,
marrying. setting UP new
homes, buying everything and
non-thing in sight. The boom
to be kicked off by the marriage
era is a fundamental force on
which President Kennedy is
counting to produce enough
taxes to balance our massive
federal budgets in 1966-67.
But in 1865, we'll also be en-
tering the Era of the Forlorn
Maidens" and of "The Great
Manhunt." For this is the year
when the total Of girls reaching
average marriage age will start
to outnumber by hundreds Of
thousands the total of boys al
Evening star., 1963-01-24

l947 against 1,435,3 boys born
in 1914.
It's almost as bad in 1867, for
girls reaching typical age in
that year will outnumber boys
they would typically marry by
316,629. The comparison is
1,72l,2l6 girls born in 1948
against 1,404.587 boys in 1945.
It'll begin to even out again
in 1868 when girls reaching
typical marriage age will out
number boys they typically
would marry by "only" 4l,957.
The comparison is 1,733,177
girls born in l949 against
1881, ,220 boys born in 1916.
OF course, one way out for
the forlorn maidens would be
through marriage to colder
men" - except that there we're
even fewer boy babies born in
1910 through 1912. Those were
really low baby years.
The extent to which the mar
riage era is being relied upon to-
send us into a major boom must
not be shrugged off. The esti-
mate is marriages will climb 81
per cent by 1870 from around
1,575, 900 in 1862 to 1,705, 900 in
1865 to 2,155,000 by 1910. The
estimate is new households will
zoom 81 per cent in this period
from around $4,000 in 1862
to $4,000 in 1865 to 1888, 900
by 1870.
Here is the heart of the pros
perity predictions. for young
marrieds need everything and
will borrow to the limit to buy.
Here is the heart of Kennedy's
gamble that substantial tax re-
ductions in 1963-64 will keep.
the economy going strongly
ahead until 1865 and then Wen
have it made.
What, though, happens If the
Great Manhunt fails? What
happens, I suspect, is that the
forlorn maidens will simply
change the habits Of their
males and they'll m AIRY
boys of their own age =
though perhaps a year or so
later than usual or predicted.
A searching look at those baby
totals discloses that in every
year except 1910, the number of
boys born has topped the num-
ber Of girls born in the same
year. And with over IL per cent
of today's 14-year-old girls ac-
tually going steady, the teen
ayers apparently already are
figuring it out - even without
one warm statistic on their fu-
ture forlorn plight to guide
them.
