Establishes record for women holding high-level government jobs

One-Family Home Finds Some Friends

WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Johnson is leaving the White House confident he has established an outstanding record for naming women to highlevel government jobs. He also believes President, elect Richard M. Nixon woulc not have been so critical of his efforts in this field during the recent campaign if Nixon had known all the facts. Nixon told a women’s group in Kansas City that “the past eight years have seen an eclipse of women in the upper level of government.” He also chided Johnson for not having a woman in his cabinet, noting that President Dwight D. Eisenhower named Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby as the first secretary of health, education and welfare. But Johnson, who once said “the underutilization of American women continues to be the most tragic and senseless waste of the century,” is proud of his record in the area. Although no woman has served in the cabinet in the past eight years— there is none in Nixon’s cabinet either—Johnson placed women in positions higher than their sex had ever occupied before in the State, Interior and Agriculture departments, the U.S. Information Agency, the Veterans Administration and the Export-Import Bank. Woman Heads Commission The October appointment of Mrs. Margaret H. Pierce, an upstate New Yorker, to the fivemember Indian Claims Commission was the latest in a series which put women for the first time on the Interstate Commerce Commission (Mrs.

Virginia M. Brown), the Federal Trade Commission (Mary Gardiner Jones) and the Tariff Commission (Dr. Penelope H. Thunberg). “I’m a Republican acceptable to the Democrats,” Mrs. Pierce said after her appointment. Her job is to help clear up a small mountain of Indian claims dating back to the first Indian treaties with the federal government, a back-log which male commissioners have failed to reduce appreciably during the 22 years of the agency’s life. Nixon also recalled that Eisenhower made Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce ambassador to Italy and for the first time elevated a woman career diplomat, Mrs. Frances Willis, to an ambassadorship. Mrs. Willis was first ambassador to Switzerland and then to Norway and Ceylon. “Since that time no women have been ambassadors to major countries,” Nixon told the ladies in Kansas City. Johnson did appoint four women ambassadors — Mrs. Katharine Elkus White to Denmark, Mrs. Patricia R. Harris to Luxembourg, Margaret Joy Tibbetts to Norway and Carol C. Laise to Nepal. Miss Tibbetts and Miss Laise both are career diplomats and are still serving. Mrs. Eugenie Anderson, long in the diplomatic service, was appointed as U.S. representative on the United Nations trusteeship council and Mrs. Marietta P. Tree was continued in U.N. service. The first woman ever to have the title of special assistant to the president was Mrs. Esther

Peterson, Johnson’s adviser on consumer affairs. She became assistant secretary of labor for labor standards, another “first” for a woman and was succeeded by Betty Furness. Changes Expected Members of commissions serve specific terms. But many of the other Johnson appointees will be out of office with the change in administration on

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI ) — Forty-three Indisma schools took part in a vocational work-study program for which $220,289 in federal and state funds were distributed Friday through the Indiana Department of Public Instruction. State School Supt. Richard D. Wells said the work-study program is designed to provide part -time employment for youths 15 years or older who need the earnings to continue their vocational training. He stressed no student is allowed to work in a job that would eliminate or replace full-time or regular employes. The federal law which established the grants limits the working student to not more than 15 hours a week during school months and to $350 per academic year in earnings. A total of 466 boys and girls took part in the 1967-68 vocation, al work-study program in Indiana, receiving total wages of $275,361, of which the federal government paid $206,521, the state $13,768.

Jan. 20. The president-elect is said to have a list of some 200 qualified women to be considered for some of the hundreds of executive posts the Nixon regime will be filling. Those likely to be departing include Mrs. Peterson and Miss Furness; Mrs. Dorothy Jacobson, assistant secretary of agriculture for international

were $55,072. Schools taking part in the program were Fort Wayne, South Adams County, Benton Community, Delphi, Southeastern Cass, Barr-Reeve, Dillsboro, Greensburg, Muncie, New Albany, Eastbrook Community, MadisonGrant United, Oak Hill, MarionAdams, Western School Corp., Charles A.

affairs; and Miss Barbara Watson, administrate* of the State Department’s Bureau of Security ^nd Consular Affairs. Others are Dr. Alice M. Rivlin, assistant secretary for planning and evaluation, Health, Education and Welfare Department; Barbara M. White, associate director for policy and research, U.S. Information Agency; and Mrs. Ruth G. Van

ROCHESTER. N.Y. (UPI)— Increasing community s u p - port of the Rochester Business Opportunities Corporation iRBOC) was evidenced here with commitments from two local churches to invest $110,000 towards assisting innercity residents in starting independent businesses. The money represents investment funds from the endowments of Brick Presbyterian Church and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. With this commitment, growth capital for Rochester’s inner-city businessmen will now be more readily available, said HBOC president William Maxion.

Cleve, director of the office of territories, Interior Department. Mrs. Katie Louchheim, deputy assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs, and Mrs. Charlotte M. Hubbard, deputy assistant secretary of state for public affairs also are subject to replacement. Ambassadors routinely submit resignations to an in-coming president.

In announcing this support, he said: “This exciting new church investment broadens Rochester’s commitment to the goals of RBOC and it leads the way to greater community involvement in helping our in-ner-city residents towards selfrealization and economic independence.” Maxion invited other churches, foundations and civic groups to invest in RBOC, a community assistance program originally proposed by Eastman Kodak. “The more money available, the more we can do. Everyone has a stake in the future of the inner-city.”

WASHINGTON (UPI) — "Do single family homes pay their way?” asks a recent survey published here by the Urban Land Institute. And the staff of this private research organization c o n - eludes—surprisingly—that the answer is “yes.” Although the answer is a qualified one, it is the first firm opposition to housing critics who have been forecasting the end of the single-family lot developments. For years, housing commentators have speculated on the eventual decline and fall of the single family home. Critics have accused the one-family unit of taking up too much space and predicted that Americans will soon flock to apartments and condominiums. Probably the most damning accusation is that single family homes cost their surrounding community governments more in services than their owners pay back in taxes.

In what it described as an ‘exploratory rather than definitive” study, the Institute staff studied development costs of imaginary but identical housing developments in three widely separated states. Findings The three hypothetical subdivisions in California, New Jersey and North Carolina turned up cost estimates which convinced the Institute stafl that: —Nearly all public improvements in single family developments are paid by the developer and not the community. The tax revenues on noneducational government services — such as water, lights, sewers, etc.—cover and in some cases exceed the cost to the local or state government. —With a few exceptions, educational costs are also covered by the tax revenues produced by single family home developments.
