Pres. Johnson Puts Women In Jobs .

EDITORS NOTE: This Is the first of a series of three dispatches on women in governmpnt. Women In Government By HELEN THOMAS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD-Presl-dent Johnson is a man of his word when it comes to women The President has promised to end "stag” government and put more women in .the top federal jobs. On that score, he has chalked up a solid record of accomplishment without a male backlash. Last January, Johnson set a goal of placing 50 qualified women in upper strata government jobs within a month. There were the skeptical, the wary and those who thought he was kidding. By prodding his cabinet and agency chieftains, he proved again what is well known in Washington — “What Lyndon wants, Lyndon gets.” So determined was Johnson to

make good on his campaign he held a special cabinet meeting to discuss the problem. “What have you got against women?" he asked his top advisers. They knew he meant business when he followed up his question with a firm memo to agency heads, directing: "It is imperative that an intensive effort be made to fill top - level vacancies in your agency with women who, but for the historical bias against their sex, would be considered wellqualified,” Exceeds Goal The goal of 50 females in the top spots was just a teaser. The President went way over his goal. White house figures at the end of July showed a total of 56 personal appointments by Johnson of women to subcabinet rank, ambassadors or federal commissions, many in areas previously considered exclusively male sanctuafles. In the same period, from Jan. 1 through July 31, there were 1,194 appointed or promoted to jobs on the federal payroll, paying SIO,OOO to $20,000. Os these, 249 women were selected for professional positions in the Civil Service and 945, already on the government rolls, were promoted to better paying, more responsible posts. Source Os Admiration The President is the first to admit that his high regard for female ability stems from his enormous admiration for his mother, Rebeka Baines Johnson. when he was growing up, and for his wife, Lady Bird, whom he extolls as a woman of "many talents," Mrs. Jphnson herself has been spotlighting the contribution of females with her monthly “women doers” luncheons. She also makes speeches urging women to broaden their horizons from the "home to humanity." Where women are concerned, the President has no male ego. He has often said that women have the “stick - to - itivcncss, courage’and a never-say-die attitude that you don't find in a man. They don’t ever give up when they believe something deeply. And they have the imagination, initiative and ingenuity that 1 like." If you have aomcthlng to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — They get BIG results.

Two Mississippians Boycott Hearings WASHINGTON <UPD — Mississippi delegates decided today to boycott the Democratic party's platform hearings. They charged that their status simply as observers at the proceedings was "less than honorable." The platform committee refused Monday to give the two Mississippians official seats at the hearings pending settlement of a challenge of their credentials. G. C. Cortright of Rolling Fork. Miss., said today that he and his colleague, Ben C. Callon of Natchez, would remain in Washington “available for consultation.”- But he said they

would not participate in the platform hearings in any way because of the conditions set by Democratic National Chairman John M. Bailey. Cortright said he and Callon conferred with Bailey Monday nighty to, ,obtain a clarification of the rules under which they were denied seats at the platform hearings. Bailey, however, refused to relent and insisted that the Mississippi delegates could sit in the hearing room only as observers. This was based on a challenge to the all-white Mississippi delegation’s credentials to the Democratic National Convention, opening in Atlantic City, N. J., next Monday. The predominantly Negro Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party contends that the "regular” delegation was not fairly selected — that Negroes were not given consideration. The FDP is a’tempting to have its own delegation accredited to the convention. Federal And State Charoes On Dishman SOUTH BEND. Ind. tUPD — Bruce Dishman, 33. a SouthBend ex-convict and tree-trim-mer, faced federal and state charges today in connection with the kidnap-rape of Kristin Smith, 9.

McKinney Is Reported Not Seriously 111 NEW YORK (UPD—Frank E. McKinney, former chairman of the Democratic national committee, who collapsed at a “Sons of Indiana’’ banquet last night at the World’s Fair, today was reported to be in “good condition” at Lenox Hill Hospital. McKinney’s personal physician, Dr. Allen D. Tanney, said that the prominent Indiana businessman and banker “has not suffered any illness of serious consequence,” a hospital bulletin said. The medical report added that "all tests including an electrocardiagram are normal.” It added that the 60-year-old McKinney “felt well enough to leave the hospital” but his doctor prevailed upon him to remain under observation from -24 to 48 hours. The hospital said McKinney suffered a “fainting spell.” A hospital spokesman said his condition today was “good." McKinney staggered as he prepared to introduce distinguished guests at the dinner. These included Indiana Gov. Matthew E. Welsh; former surgeon general of the United States Dr. Leroy E. Burney, and Roy W. Howard, chairman of the executive committee of the Scripps-Howard Newspapers. McKinney was carried in a chair from the Terrace Club dining room, a posh restaurant overlooking the fairgrounds. Some 200 guests were stunned into silence as McKinney faltered in his speech and then slumped back into his chair. Dr. Burney was at his side immedia'ely. A world’s fair medical department ambulance rushed him to Lenox Hill in Manhattan, a distance of about 15 miles. „ - . The dinner was to be the highlight of the “Indiana Days” at the World’s Fair.
