On the Lighter Side

WASHINGTON (UPI)— I recently discovered a marvelous free baby-sitting service here in

the capital. It is called McCarthy National Campaign Headquarters.

That is sort of an odd name for a baby-sitting service, but it really does the job. You can take your kid by there in the morning and they will keep him or her occupied all day. At no cost to yourself, give or take a pimiento cheese sandwich for lunch. There may be an age minimum. I doubt they would accept infants or pre-adoles-cents. But if your kid is old enough to run errands, stuff envelopes and maybe nail down an uncommitted delegate or two, you’re in luck. Excess Teenager I came across the service quite by accident. I was lamenting to a friend of mine that my 13-year-old daughter apparently was going to be underfoot all summer. (When you’ve got a 13-year. old daughter underfoot all summer, you’ve got a wife who is climbing the walls at the end of the day.) My friend said he faced the same problem with his son. In desperation, he called up a fellow he knew at Humphrey headquarters and had the lad committed as a volunteer worker. “It’s wonderful,” my friend said. “I couldn’t get him to mow the lawn except at gunpoint. And he expected to be paid the federal hourly minimum wage with an employerfinanced pension plan. “Now he’s working all day for nothing and seems to be having the time of his life.” Humphrey Posts Filled In lest than a trice, I had Humphrey headquarters on the phone seeking an unpaid position for my daughter. “Sorry,” a lady told me. “We’re pretty crowded already. Why don’t you try McCarthy?” This time I took no chances on being rejected. I drove my daughter to McCarthy headquarters, deposited her on the doorstep and ran. The free baby-sitting arrangement is still working fine, and may even by mutually advantageous. The other afternoon when I picked her up, my daughter claimed to have the entire Pennsylvania delegation in her pocket.

| Foreign news commentary By RICHARD SUDHALTER LONDON (UPI)— Hopes are high but realistic expectations low that a consultative meeting next week in Niamey, Niger, under auspices of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) will be able to find a solution to Nigeria’s year-old bloody civil war. Biafra, Nigeria’s secessionist eastern region, has said it will attend. Officials in the federal capital of Lagos hold out high hopes for the results of the meeting. But between the two sides and any real settlement stands a deep and inflexible pride. Thousands will die needlessly rather than give an inch. At best, the meeting engineered by the OAU’s Nigeria Committee may establish a forum for statement of opposing cases. But time is running out, and death seems the only winner in this disastrous contest of wills.

Has second thoughts HEIDELBERG, Germany (UPI)—An American GI who deserted his unit five years ago and fled to Communist East Germany has returned to his outfit, the U.S. Army announced Wednesday. The soldier was identified as Pvt. James H. Newton, 34, of Diamond Ruby, Virgin Islands.

To catch a spy MOSCOW (UPI)—A Communist youth newspaper warned Wednesday that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was trying to slip its agents into the Ninth World Youth Festival at Sofia, Bulgaria. The newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda said the American Independent Research Service, which was financed by the CIA, “still continues its dirty affairs and is actively preparing for backstage activity at the Sofia festival.”

Woman’s view

Biafrans by the thousands, shriveled and barely alive, count the minutes until death releases them from the starvation of a state cut off without relief supplies. Maj. Gen. Yakubu Gowon, 33, leader of federal Nigeria, has stipulated that all emergency food relief supplies to Biafra be channeled through Nigeria. The Biafrans have refused this and are insisting on an airlift. Biafran leader Lt. Col. Odumwegu Ojukwu, a cool, articulate Oxford graduate, maintains that acceptance of the federal terms would mean tacit acknowledgement of continued Nigerian control over his fledgling state. He contends that relief supplies must be flown directly to Biafra, to jungle airstrips constructed by widening and strengthening long, straight stretches of hardtop road. The Niamey meeting may turn into the first confrontation between Gowon and Ojukwu snce their abortive attempt in Aburi, Ghana, 18 months ago, to solve their differences across a conference table. The failure of those talks directly led to eastern Nigeria’s secession from the federal republic May 30, 1967, and unilateral declaration of the Republic of Biafra.

By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI)—A new look at the role and the rights of the American female in every area from alimony and abortion to equal job rights with men comes from a new government-sponsored study on status of women. It no longer looks on woman as the weaker sex but as one who can carry her own physical load alongside the male. And it calls for awideningof the rights in the whole area offamily life. Divergent Fields The study was made by the Citizens’ Advisory Council on the Status of Women, appointed by the President more than a year ago. Chairman was former Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger, DOre., and the others on the “task force”—men and women — came from such divergent fields as the sciences, business, education, finance, law, life insurance, labor and religion. Criteria for alimony, for instance, were suggested that would “recognize the contributions of each spouse to the

family and the need of each spouse...alimony should not redress wrongs...non-fault bases for divorce, such as volktary separation, should be included in grounds for divorce.” The council took a strong stand for changes in current abortion laws. It put its recommendations this way: “Convinced that the right of a woman to determine her own productive life is a basic human right, the task force recommends that laws penalizing abortion be repealed” and urges state commissions on the status of women assume responsibility for educating the public on this issue. Recommend Equality In the world of the working woman, the council recommended that employers, employees and unions “work to insure that the provisions of the equal pay act are honored and to eliminate the evasive practices to justify higher wage rates for men.” States, it added, should adopt equal pay laws where they do not now exist.

The council’s task force on health and welfare called for reiniofcing community institutions and services to meet the needs of women, particularly in low income families. It called for more day care facilities, expanded homemaker services, and tetter consumer education on the problem of family care when the mother works outside the home.

Police were unable to locate the mouse.
