Say Women Make Good Criminals

By HOBTENSE MYERS I’nlted Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Once a woman makes the unfortunate choice of becoming a criminal, she often does a better job of getting away with it than does a man. » , This reluctant admission comes from two men— George W. Ryan and Loren Ayres—who are in a position to know quite a lot about lawbreakers. Ryan, a former FBI agent, is president of International Investigators, Inc., while Ayres, a vice president, is a former Purdue University expert on technical investigations. Among the many investigations handled by the three-1 firm are embezzlement, employe thefts, shoplifting and similar crimes. All too often their trail of accumulated evidence points to a trusted “Girl Friday” of an executive, a . woman who has been with the firm for much of her life. "Women make excellent criminals,” Ryan observed, “partly because they are physically suited for certain crimes and because they have a dedicated purpose.” Nat Suspect As Quickly He said because women generally are revered as mothers and wives, they often are not

‘ i ■' suspected of a crime as quickly as a man would be. “Men executives will place their faith in a woman, trusting her to deliver company funds, make deposits and collections. They have to rely on Girl Fridays. Then if she violates that trust, she is in a beautiful position to carry out the crime,” Ryan explained Ayres noted also that in crimes such as shoplifting, women can more easily conceal stolen merchandise, because of her clothing, than a man can. "Women often are not treated as seriously when caught as a man and this contributes to more involvement,” he said. He said that while some women seem to have been involved deliberately in crime by men friends who were counting on greater leniency for women, "we find some juvenile gangs have girl members who seem to inspire the gangs to go far beyond what the boys otherwise would have done.” Both Ryan and Ayres have found that women embezzlers more often use their stolen funds to help others rather than upon themselves. "Women will give away money they have embezzled, or spend it for a sick mother, a

crippled brother or in some other way they justify to themielves,” he said. Take far Retirement Ayres has a theory that unrequited love is back of some of the instances in which a trusted veteran woman employe begins "dipping in the till** just before her retirement. “They have quietly fallen in love with their boss, probably unknown to him,” Ayres said. “Retirement time comes, they realize they will be leaving, and they give themselves a self-established increase in income to take care of their old age.” “Carelessness or lack of understanding” on the part of the employer toward his employes is responsible for 75 per cent of company losses through erring workers, Ryan believes. He pointed out that employes who take from their employer almost never start out by regarding their action as a crime, but merely something to which they have decided they are entitled. $23 Million Given To March Os Dimes SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — The National Foundations March of Dimes received $23 million tn contributions during 1963, according to foundation President Basil O’Connor.

Accept Filings For State Legislature

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Secretary of State's office today began accepting filings for the state legislature in accordance with an interpretive resolution adopted by. the Indiana Election Board giving 23 holdover senators vested rights in their seats for two more years. But State Sen. Kenneth Reagin, D-Cory, who was barred from running for re-election by the board’s decision, announced that he would file action in a Marion County Superior Court, probably Wednesday, to test both the validity of the 1963 reapportionment act and the board’s interpretation. “Hie vested rights of the people are more critical than the vested rights of the senators,” Don Fasig, Keagin’s attorney, told the board at a meeting late Monday in Governor Welsh’s office. The meeting of the board—composed of Welsh and James Noland, Democrats, and Edwin M. S. Steers, Republican—came about two hours after Secretary of State Charles Hendricks advised the governor that all 92 county clerks had received their copies of the supplement to the 1963 laws, making them effective. New Laws The supplement consisted of four bills which Welsh had vetoed last March but which the Indiana Supreme Court on Feb. 10 declared to be enacted legislation on the grounds the governor’s veto came too late. The reapportionment act, the one of immediate concern, sets up new districts for the 100 seats of the House of Representatives, all of which will be subject to nomination in the May 5 primary and the Nov. 3 general election. But it was the 50 revised Senate seats which required a special ruling by the election board on the eve of filing. The board listened to Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers’ explanation of the resolution he had prepared after consultation with both political parties, the governor’s staff and the Indians) Chamber of Commerce and others, and heard Fasig and Reagin’s arguments—then unanimously adopted the resolution. It spelled? out 21 districts in which elections are to be held this year and 23 districts in which holdover senators were deemed to have the right td continue serving for two more years. representing different counties in some cases than those from which they were elected. Reagin’s Complaint Fasig complained that in ruling that Sen. 'Dewey Annakin, D-Terre Haute, should retain his seat, but should be considered the representative of Clay, Owen and Sullivan Counties, the board had created the only district in which a senator doesn’t live. “One qualification of a senator is that he be _a_ resident of the district he represents,” Fasig argued. However, Deputy Atty. Gen. William Ruckelshaus noted that a court ruling holds that a senator need only be a resident of his district at the time of his election and reFootball Cardinals ’ Plan Exhibitions ST.

The attorney general said the . wa.se plan volved by setting up i thehe moves from the district The attorney general said the plan was evolved by setting up the senatorial districts as contained in the 1963 reapportionm«nt law. then taking - the 23 holdover senators still serving and assigning them a district 1 including at least some part of what each had served before. “There is no vested right in a man running for office but there is a vested right in a holdover seat,’’ Steers said. Ruckelshaus said that 40 counties are in different Senate districts under the 1963 plain compared to the 1921 one. However, Steers said that so far, the only controversy has been that involving Reagin, Annakin and Sen. Jack Mankin, D-Terre Haute. Reagin’s Alternative Under Reagin’s suggested alternative, Mankin would have been eliminated, and Annakin would have been considered as representing Vigo County only for the next two years. Steers said there were “five or six” other places on the new Senate map which caused problems, but that resignations had averted conflicts. Both Noland and Welsh said they felt the 1963 reapportionment iplan needed further revision by the next legislature although it was “an improvement over 1921.” Here are the other 22 holdover senators given “vested rights” to another two years in the upper chamber by the resolution, in addition to Annakin: tTilliam Christy, Lake County; Earl F.

Says Women Hate Word 'Housewife' By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — Girl named Marjorie Lord, actress by trade, has been going around the country stirring up trouble. In public life. Miss Lord plays the „ role of a housewife -<»n the Danny Thomas show on television. In private life, she plays the role of a housewife in the domicile of producer Randolph Hale, her husband. In both roles, she is the instigator, or founding mother, of a subversive organization called SHE which stands for Society of Home Executives. Miss Lord told me about the organization recently when she passed through the capital during a personal appearance tour. “I hate the word ‘housewife,’ ” Miss Lord said, “and I think most other women do too. It’s a patronizing, infuriating term that is degrading to our sex. “‘Housewife’ wouldn’t be so bad by itself, but it is almost always used as part of the phrase ‘Just a housewife.’ Suffering sink traps! Do you realize what ‘just a housewife’ actually is? “She is a nurse, dietician, doctor, chauffeur, plumber, psychologist, teacher. sanitation engineer, community relations Policeman Cochran Returns To Duties City police officer Jim Cochran returned to duty today, after being hospitalized for about two weeks with stomach ulcers. While Cochran was in the hospital, his parking meter duties were handled by Ray Seitz, and Seitz* will continue on the job for the present, while Cochran will work as a patrolman. Cochran has requested the board of works and safety that he be returned to the rank of patrolman, and Seitz has applied for the job of operation and maintenance of the parking meters. The board of works has not yet made any decisions on the tv4o applications.

expert, laundress, landscape architect, Interior decorator, barber and-or hairdresser, couturiere, hostess, purchasing agent, economist, pastoral counsellor, social guidance director and electronics expert. “And that doesn’t begin to cover all that a ‘just a housewfiq’ does.” “If she could only cook,” I said. “In short,” Miss Lord continued. ignoring the interruption, “a housewife is an executive. A home executive. And that is the purpose of our society. “Oyr goal is to banish the word ‘housewife’ from the language and replace it with a title that befits the work she does.” As you can tell Miss Lord is a troublemaker. If her campaign succeeds, certain comedians will have to create a whole new line of jokes. Like: “Who was that lady I saw you with last night?” . “That was no lady. That was a home executive.” Salesmen will knock on the door and ask “is the executive of the house at home?” And females who spend too much time out of the house will have to be reminded that “an executive’s place is in the home.”. But even if the new job classification does catch on, I don’t think it will change things very much. Women who are obliged to spend their time in domestic pursuits can get dishpan hands just as easily under any other name. They might glory in the title for a little while, but it would not be long before you would hear them say "I’m just a home executive.” " 1 " " V

Sales Tax Receipts Exceed Expectation INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The sales tax is more than meeting expectations as a revenue producer. Governor Welsh conferred late Monday with Revenue Commissioner James C. Courtney and members of his staff on the progress of the two per cent tax imposed last October. Later, Welsh said, revenue officials advised him “the sales tax is coming up to expectations as far as production of revenue is concerned.”, Welsh said the estimated revenue to be produced by the tax “in round figures” wap $250,000 a day. He said that so far it has produced between $250,000 and $300,000 a day, which he conceded was “slightly better” than what had been anticipated. However, Welsh said it is “still too early to predict with an accuracy the revenue which, the gross or adjusted gross income taxes will produce although there is no reason to think anything other than the estimates were reasonably accurate.”” Deputy Revenue Commissioner Robert Hale said the gross receipts from the sales tax as of Feb. 21 were $24,482,902. Hale said this covered all that had been processed since the tax went into effect Oct. 22, and that the staff was nearly current i nits work.
