WHO'S IN OR OUT Who's Who of Women Lists 19,000 Names By DAISY CLELAND Star Staff Writer The latest eye strain in Washington as well as other parts of the country is caused by scanning the newly pub lished “Who’s Who of Amer ican Women”—to see who’s in, but better, to see who’s not. The book, which just came out, is published by the well known Marquis Who’s Who, Inc. The huge volume, putting women. on their own as to fame but not necessarily for tune. lists 19.000 women on 1,438 pages. Listed alphabetically, the women represent a large va riety of professions. The first listing in the book Is, coincidentallv, an author, for the A's and the Z's end with a typographic designer. In between there are artists, actresses, singers, dancers, civic leaders, church women, social workers, educators, editors, journalists, music patrons, philanthropists, doctors, nurses, nuns, Newcomers. To Be Feted The Capital Speakers’ Club will give a luncheon tomorrow at the Westchester Apartments in honor of new members of Mrs. Hestersen's Public Speaking Class. Mrs. Peter Garran, president of the club and wife of the British Commercial Minister, will introduce the honor guests who will be Signora Brosio, wife of the Italian Ambassador; Mme. Umar, wife of the Italian Counselor, and Mrs. Malcolm MacIntyre, wife of the Undersecretary of the Air Force. The program will feature customary speeches by past "graduates" of the class, including Mme. van Roijen, wife of the Netherlands Ambassador; Mrs. Charles Financane, wife of the Assistant Secretary of Defense; Mrs. Everett Dirksen, wife of the Senate minority leader, and Mrs. Donald McPherson, Jr., wife of the Interstate Commerce commissioner. Introducing the speakers will be the two chairmen of the luncheon Mrs. Rose Adair, wife of the Representative from Indiana, and Mrs. Edgar Ritchie, wife of the Canadian Charge d’Affaires.

There is even one woman listed as an “organization official.” Upon reading her accomplishments, one finds that she is an organizer of garden clubs. Another listing is of a restaurant chain owner. Outstanding Women The editors of the book point out that to be listed candidates must be “outstanding as women.” A college education is also an obvious asset. Over 70 percent are at least college graduates whereas the ones without a college degree come to just under 7 percent. The rest have had some further education after secondary school. Another way, it would seem, to have yourself left out, would be to have as your only claim to fame, weight lifting. The editors say, “no individual was included solely because of her physical prowess”—we take this to mean the athletic types. Another point made by the powers—that is, “mere wealth or social standing alone are not sufficient to merit inclusion.” They admit that there are some fabulously wealthy women listed but maintain that these women do something constructive with their good fortune. Just having fun doesn't count. Problems and Humor The editors point with humor to some of their problems. One incident involved “Shirley” who was a vice president with a large advertising company. This certainly qualified her to be included in the elite listing. However, “Shirley” was quickly and unceremoniously dropped when it was discovered that “she” was in reality a “he.” Laughing at themselves, the editors say that it is obviously "easier to tell who’s who than who’s what! And far be it for any individual, group of individuals, company or even a man from Mars to get 19,000 women together even on paper and not run into feminine wiles. Noted in the listings are many who state WHERE they were born but not a drop of ink as to WHEN. A woman’s age—heaven forbid! The human failing of immodesty is also showing here and there like milady’s petticoat. There is the clubwoman, known only in her immediate area, who has listed her accomplishments in about 40 lines of type. Then there is a woman, who is one of the most famous women in this country and who also can claim an international reputation. She submitted material worth just 15 lines. The tremendous labors of Marquis Who’s Who, Inc., are now for public consumption. However, one question—is there a man alive who would like to change places with the editors when the letters from the deleted come storming in—or better yet—open the office door at the thunderous rap of the lady weight lifter?

EXCLUSIVELY YOURS By BETTY BEALE —Leaders Attend Reception For New Congressmen There’s something about the 80th Congress, with its veritable tidal wave of new faces and untested legislative inclinations that has everybody on his toes. What I mean is I can't remember when the leaders of both parties in both houses showed up at the annual Congressional Club reception for new members of Congress. But every one of them was there yesterday. Even at a social function, you get the feeling that this will be no laissez-faire Congress, and the leaders know it. The rarest of party-goers, Spealcer Sam Rayburn, was there, and his sister, Mrs. W. A. Thomas of Dallas, with him. The Speaker, who suffered perhaps the severest criticism of his career last year when he held out for remodeling the East Front of the Capitol, spoke of the pure, white Massachusetts marble that’s been uncovered by the remodeling. “And they don’t quarry it any more in Massachusetts; it comes from Vermont,” he said. “I AM GOING TO HAVE THEM SANDBLAST the whole thing. Can’t you see how lovely it’s going to be— this pure white marble front?” Perhaps the architects who most criticized Mr. Sam will end up on his side. Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson and his wife Bird, Minority Leader and Mrs. Everett Dirksen and House Minority Leader Charlie Halleck also made a point of attending the Sunday afternoon reception at the club in order to greet the new members and wives. Asked how his leadership would differ from ousted Joe Martin’s, Mr. Halleck replied, “We are going to have more cooperation, more team play and more action. People for Get who’s been carrying the Republican fight on the floor,” he said, adding that Mr. Martin was not strong on floor work. He also pointed out that he could get along with Mr. Rayburn and House Leader John McCormack, that stories to the contrary weren’t true. CLUB PRESIDENT MRS. JOHN J. WILLIAMS, wife of the Senator from Delaware, headed the long receiving line that included other officers and husbands. Except that wives came before husbands, they stood in this order: Representative and Mrs. Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas, Senator and Mrs. Wallace Bennett of Utah, Representative and Mrs. Walt Horan of Washington, Representative and Mrs. L. H. Fountain of North Carolina (all these women being vice presidents); Representative and Mrs. Arthur J. Younger of California—the latter recording secretary; Representative and Mrs. Paul Jones of Missouri—Mrs. Jones being corresponding secretary, and Representative and Mrs. Clifford McIntire of Maine—the latter as treasurer of the club. In place of “Fishbait" Miller, House doorman, who hasn't been so well lately, the chief page of the House, Turner N. Robertson, did the introducing. The entire Alaskan delegation was there, wearing the little yellow-and-blue ribbon bows that indicated their newness—Senator and Mrs. E. L. Bartlett. Senator and Mrs. Ernest Omening and Representative and Mrs. Ralph Rivers. OTHER NEW SENATORS who mingled with their colleagues at the end of a week of mingling were R. Vance Hartke of Indiana, Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, Frank Moss of Utah, Winston Prouty of Vermont, Jennings Randolph of West Virginia, and Everett Jordan of North Carolina. Each had a spouse in tow. New Representatives floating about included Chester Bowles of Connecticut. John Foley of Maryland, Earl Hogan and Joseph Barr of Indiana, Byron Johnson of Colorado, Leonard Wolf of Iowa, Floyd Breeding of Kansas, John Slack of West Virginia, Robert E. Cook of Ohio, Don Short of North Dakota, Odin Danger of Minnesota, and so forth. Mrs. Judy Weis, new Representative from New York, also was there. More familiar faces included the Walter Judds, the Lawrence Curtises, Senator and Mrs. Strom Thurmond, Senator and Mrs. Allen Frear, the James Fraziers, the Joe Evans, Representative John Dingell with all the women in his family—his wife, his mother and his sister; South Dakota’s Senator and Mrs. Case, the W. R. Poagues of Texas and the House couple who remain the best-looking pair on the Hill—Ross Bass of Tennessee and his wife. GERMAN AMBASSADOR and Mrs. Grewe were giving a party at the same time for the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra that performed yesterday afternoon in Constitution Hall. Still in his white tie and tails, the director, Karl Munchinger, seemed very pleased with the response here. Mrs. Grewe said it was especially nice that people remained seated at the close instead of rushing out as they so often do in Germany.

She will share the program with Alfred Drake, John Houseman, Harold Clurman and Muriel Bradbrook. ROBERT FROST, the great poet and current poetry consultant at the Library of Congress, has written a special greeting for the St. Andrew’s Society dinner on January 31 honoring the memory of Robert Burns. An annual affair, it will this year mark the 200th anniversary of the Scottish poet's birth. Secretary of Agriculture Bensons, assistant, Bob McMillen, will read the greeting, and Australian Ambassador Howard Beale and former Representative Brooks Hays will offer the two famed toasts traditionally made at the Scottish society’s dinner. Ambassador Beale, who will toast “the land we care from,” isn't even Scottish by heritage. His family migrated to Australia from Kent County, England, where he assures me all Beales come from. And Brooks Hays, who will toast “the land in which we live,” "My Scottish burr is not as good as my Arkansas hillbilly.” But Burns would have found no fault with the selection: "The social, friendly, A honest man, whatever he be, Tis he fulfils great Nature's plan. And none but he.
