Trend Is Toward
Larger Families for
American Women
LOS ANGELES, UR—A UCLA
sociologist says if today’s birth
rate is maintained American wom
en may have families as large as
their grandparents and great
grandparents.
Dr. Ruth Reimer, who has made
an exhausive study of birth rates,
cited these trends:
Last year more than 4,000,000
| American women had babies. Al
most as many were having .their
second child as are having their
first. This is the first time since
accurate birth records have been
kept that this situation has oc
curred. A surprisingly large num
ber of women had their fifth child
last year.
Says Dr. Reimer:
“Not only are women today
having more babies than their
Jazz Age and Depression Era par
ents, but they are having them at
an earlier age. Statistics show that
one of every two married women
already has a baby by the time
she is 21.”
Dr. Reimer believes the trend

Congressional Leaders’ Views Vary
On Second Term for Ike, Tax Cuts
GETTYSBURG, Pa., (#1—Senate
Republican Leader Knowland of
California said Saturday he doubts
that President Eisenhower has de
cided yet whether to seek a sec
ond term. But House GOP Leader
Martin of Massachusetts predicted
Eisenhower will run if his doc
tors approve.
The two leaders made their
comments after separate confer
ences with the President.
Knowland, who has been men
tioned as a possible aspirant to the
Republican nomination if the
President bows out, said he hopes
Eisenhower will give the country
“ample notice” of his intentions.
Indirectly, Martin appeared to
disagree with this position. He
said he believed that Eisenhower
would seek a second term “for the
world’s sake” as long as the doc
tors say it’s all right. But he also
to larger families is due to the
security that goes with prosperity,
and to an idealism that was'absent
1 in the Jazz Age.
opposed putting “any deadline on
the President.”
The Republican congressional
leaders also seemed to disagree
somewhat—at least in emphasis—
on prospects for a 1956 tax cut.
Martin said he hopes Congress
can put through a tax reduction
that will benefit “the so-called lit
tle fellow” if the budget can be
balanced.
Knowland spoke- in more re
strained terms, saying he hoped a
balanced budget might make pos
sible “some modest additional tax
reduction.”
Martin stressed his second-term
views were his own. He said he
did not discuss the question with
the President.
But Martin’s opinion almost ex
actly paralleled the one expressed
by Republican National Chairman
Hall after a meeting with Eisen
hower a week ago.
Hall then said he though Eisen
hower would seek selection “if
he feels he is able.”
Martin said his talk with Eisen
hower was devoted mainly to the
legislative program for the com
ing session of’ Congress. He said
he and the Chief Executive talked
over these issues “just as a start”
on the next session’s GOP pro
gram:
1. Highway construction. Martin
confirmed the administration is
willing to abandon its program of
financing a large-scale highway
expansion substantially by bor
rowing and will seek a compro
mise with the Democrats on some
sort of pay-as-you-go plan.
2. School construction. Martin
said it’s obvious the federal gov
ernment has to pay a bigger share
of school costs than in the past.
3. Tax Reduction. He said this
should be possible if the budget
is balanced and added the Repub
licans “want to make sure the so
called little fellow gets his chance
at it.”
4. International trade. He said
the President is determined to ex
pand trade under the tariff powers
granted him at the last session of
Congress.
5. Farm problems. Martin said
the difficulties thrust on farmers
by falling prices will “get action”
at the 1956 session of Congress. He
did not give any details.
Martin, an early advocate of
waging next year’s campaign
mainly on television, said he was
confident Eisenhower could run in
1956 “without overexertifig him
self.” He said he thought two or
three addres' ?s on television
would be all the President needed
to do to gain reelection.
