- <5 ri«—rm Urges Women To Enter Engineering Profession

By EVERETT R. IRWIN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO (UP)—Lois Grahatn, a woman who invaded a man’s domain, said today the nation is missing a bet in not enticing more women into the engineering professon. She said women are overlooking a good thing, too, when they pass up technological fields in favor of occupations that are generally considered more feminine. Perched on a four-legged stool in an Illinois Institute of Technology laboratory, Miss Graham spoke from first-hand experience. She’s an assistant professor of mechanical engineering-.

Takes Some Kidding Miss Graham, who said she “had my own tool kit” and liked to play with construction toys when she was a little gid, was one of the first two women admitted to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., her home town. She picked up a bachelor of mechanical engineering degree at Rensselaer in 1945 and a M.S. ini mechanical engineering at IIT in! 1949. Then she joined the IIT faculty. Now she teaches 80 men ( and | no women'. Miss Graham said women in * engineering encounter little real prejudice but “must be able to take some kidding.’’ She learnd that when she asked one of her

Albert Gore <D-Tenn.) proposed today that- the nation s highway construction program be about doubled this year as a powerful antirecession measure. —Gare. chairman of the Senate . Roads subcommittee, said he will press for Senate approval of such legislation before Easter, He summoned federal highway chief Bertram D. Tallamy to appear before the subcommittee to testify on the regular federal-aid highways program— —— The present plan calls for work» this year on about 1,200.000,(W dollars worth of contracts on the 41,000-mile network of interstate superhighways.
