In this German drawing of a kaffeeklatsch, dated 1888. the ladies listen closely, don’t miss a word. Today, as in the 1800’s, the ingredients of the kaffeeklatsch are the same: two or more compatible women, a big pot of coffee and lots of lively chatter. It was the “lively chatter” that disturbed German husbands when their wives originated the kaffeeklatsch a hundred and fifty years ago. Because men were excluded, husbands could only guess at the ladies’ conversation. So they coined the new word, kaffeeklatsch, by way of poking fun at their socializing wives. “Kaflee,” of course, means coffee and “klatsch” means gossip. Coffee, The Beverage For Friends In those days, the European middle class, was just emerging. The typical German housewife no longer worked in the fields. She was now a burgher’s wife—with leisure time at last. She had new ideas to express about housekeeping, babies and, ultimately, about politics and social equality. The result was the spontaneous meeting of neighborhood wives to exchange ideas. Coffee, previously only for the nobility, was now the beverage the German woman could serve to her friends whenever she pleased. In the 1960’s, as in the 1800’s, the kaffeeklatsch is a lasting symbol of woman as an individual who can freely express her interests. And the steaming coffee which she pours for her neighbors continues to prove stimu'ating—in the very best sense of the word.

CATS SPY OUT SOVIET MIKES

REPUB CHAIRMAN GETS A SHOCK

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer ■fTCTASHINGTON—When the United States revealed recently W that many rooms in its embassy building in Moscow had been “bugged" by the Russians for at least 11 years, the disclosure came as something of a shock since the American public Immediately jumped to the conclusion that United States Security must certainly be in poor shape if it took that long to uncover the electronic eavesdroppers. It was still more embarrassing to government security officials to learn that little Holland has found a simple and effective way to uncover the hidden microphones in their Rus-

sian embassy.

The Dutch use cats—Siamese cats to be precise. It seems that these pretty little pets can be trained to hear the noises produced by electrical switches which are inaudible to the human ear. So far the Dutch and their clever kittens have "caught” 30 microphones. We wouldn’t necessarily expect that American security experts would hit on the same solution. But if those Russian microphones do make noises, however slight, the least they could have done was create some sort of electronic noise detector to do the same job.

• A LETTER BOOMERANGS —Re:. William E. Miller also serves as chairman of the Republican National Committee. In his latter capacity. Miller has been mailing out letters to faithful Republicans asking for $10 campaign contributions to financo party activities. Miller has received many replies—some with the requested $10 enclosed. But one reply didn’t include any money and in fact was pretty rough. It started out by complaining that his letter was the second of two identical ones received so far. The respondent went on to challenge Miller’s statement in the letter that "our chances this year are tremendously encouraging. Victory is definitely in sight.” The letter writer replied: "As a Democrat who voted three times for William Jennings Bryan and for every other Democratic candidate for president from Woodrow Wilson to John P. Kennedy, I am willing to bet you the best kind of a hat that Lyndon Johnson will be elected next November to be President of the United States.” It was signed by the oldest member of the Senate, who. as president pro tern of the Senate, is second in line to succeed to the presidency.

In fact, the whole thing seems to be getting away from the Pentagon's publicity managers. Announcement The other day, the department announced that „... , . # Secretary Robert S.

Three days after Lincoln accepted, by letter, the "Union

National Convention” nomination for president, Secretary of Treasury Salmon P. Chase finally stepped out of the Cabinet. The first week of July 1864, William P. Fessenden of Maine, long time member of the U. S. Senate Finance Committee, accepted Lincoln’s appointment to replace Chase. Back in February 1864, a Washington newspaper had revealed a secret movement by anti-Lincolri Republicans to displace Lincoln as nominee in favor of Chase. Lincoln had accepted Chase's embarrassed disclaimers and abided dissension in his Cabinet until the delegates to the convention had

When, after the election in November, the death of Roger Taney left the Chief Justiceship to be filled, Lincoln appointed Chase. —CLARK KINNAIRD
