1. 1 Hal Boyle U.S. Women Again on Warpath; They're Demanding Equal Rights They want a new amendment equal rights amendment. And creatures, they may get it. This amendment would declare: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of Maybe you thought women had equality now, or possibly even more so.

But there are 1,000 laws which set women apart from men. Some states limit' the hours, and the places, a woman can work. In some towns a woman can't teach school if she marries. Many states have different ages at which boy girl can marry. In New Hampshire, for instance, a girl may marry at 13, while husbands under 14 must be thrown back.

An amendment would wipe out all these differences. Obviously not all want to do this. They are protective laws, and the a enthese amendment were passed, women would lose more than they would gain. These objectors would prefer to have a commission set up to look into the whole problem. The National Woman's party doesn't agree with this at all.

It says it has the support of women's organizations with a combined membership of 11,500,000. Since 11,500,000 votes are no small item in an election year, the party thinks the amendment has a chance to pass Congress. Two years ago the amendment got a majority vote in the Senate, but lacked the two-thirds edge to the Constitution--an since women are persistent By ARTHUR EDSON FOR BOYLE WASHINGTON-(AP)-Women, -Women, bless them, are on the march. needed for proposed constitutional amendments. Even if Congress approves, three-fourths of the states must say, "Me, too," before it becomes legal.

Members of the National Women's party appeared before a House judiciary subcommittee recently, and I dropped around to hear the arguments. A little old woman, as perky as a jenny wren, was speaking. "I had five children when my husband. died," oldest child was saying, seven. I have made my own way, as a ticket taker on a "Let me tell you that we working women don't want any special privileges.

We don't want any protection. We working women can take care of ourselves." She sat down, two women rushed up and kissed her, and Miss Anita Pollitzer, national chairman of the party, obligingly scribbled the little old lady's name for me. "Mrs. Mary Murray of Brooklyn," wrote Miss Pollitzer, "fine woman." Miss Pollitzer, who when she isn't out canvassing for women's rights is Mrs. E.

C. Edson of New York, was the next speaker. 1 "It's sad to think that I've spent 25 years working for this amendment. And yet you can go down the street and look at the Supreme Court. There you can see the inscription, 'Equal Justice Under That's all we're asking for, 'gentlemen.

21 Nations Begin Talks At Bogota Big Plan Regional American Bloc BOGOTA, Colombia -(P)-Top diplomats of 21 Pan American nations convene here today for what may prove to be the most important conference in the history of the western hemisphere. President Mariano Ospina Perez of Colombia will open the ninth international conference of American states with a welcoming address this afternoon. Three basic projects face the delegates: 1. Moulding of the inter- American system into a strong regiona! bloc within the framework of the United Nations. 2.

Creation of a program of economic aid for Latin America. 3. Enactment of a pact providing for a peaceful solution of differences between the American republics. Not on the agenda, but certain to play an important role in the discussions are the issues of communism and colonialism in the western hemisphere. Chile, Paraguay and Cuba have expressed hope the conference will take a stand against communist infiltration in the Americas.

Some members have contended it is preferable to have each nation settle its own communist problems, Joao Neves Fontoura, chief delegate from Brazil told newsmen his country would not bring up the communist question. But, he added: "If the matter is brought up by some other delegation, Brazil will take a position consistent with its internal policy of communism, which culminated with a break of diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia."

Increased rates go into effect April 1. Fred E.

Lingafelter, secretary of the water and garbage department and manager of the city's largest explained it this way: "Our meter reader, Alfred Lommatzsch, reads domestic meters over a three-month period prior to the time that the bills are sent out. "Our troubles will start when we have to determine what part of the next batch of water bills shall be computed at the old rate and portion of the bill must be computed at the new rate," Lingafelter said. "In other words, some bills will represent, for instance, 100 days under the old schedule and 82 under the new. As the meters are read on different days, each bill must be analyzed to determine what part is charged under the old rates and what part under the new. "In normal times," he explained, we have the usual complaining customers who come in with a water bill with such statements AS "I couldn't possibly have used that much or 'my neighbor uses a lot more water than I do and her bill is "With the new bills, representing the old and new rates, I'm afraid we'll need an information clerk," he said, adding "I'm ing of getting a barrel of aspirin." BIGGEST BUSINESS The water and garbage revenue collection department did the largest "business" of any city agency last year, taking in $425,905.

The department's work of billing, collecting and auditing has nearly doubled in the past 10 years. There were 7,228 garbage accounts in 1947 as compared with 4,536 in 1938 and the same story holds true for the water department. Since 1938, the department has had 3.000 new customers whose meters must be read, who must be billed, and from whom the bill must be collected. Yet during the past 10 years, while the personnel in other city departments has been as much as doubled in some cases, not one additional worker has been added to the water and garbage revenue collection department, Lingafelter said. "I asked council six months ago for additional personnel," he said, "and I was told the matter would be looked into." When the question of fixing new rates came up, certain information needed for a comprehensive survey was not readily available.

BIG RESEARCH JOB Lingafelter said the information IS in his files and can be obtained only if some one wants to spend the two or three months it would take to get it. "With our present staff," he added, "we don't have any time to keep such records. Ray Hines and Miss Hughes, our water and sewer department bookkeepers, have all they can do to 12,000 customers, as does H. A. Zerbe, collector of delinquent accounts.

Mrs. Ruth Ernsberger garbage department bookkeeper, and Mrs. Mary Diebler, of the permit ment also are handling as much work as they can do. Pointing to the efficiency of his department, Lingafelter said that when he took over the job in 1938 there was $37,000 in delinquent accounts, but that at present there remain only two unpaid bills. Widow Dies At Age 86 Mrs.

Margaret Dapper, 86, widow of Daniel Dapper, died last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Martin Sabo, Lexington, R. D. 1, following a lingering illness. Born Oct.

2, 1861, in Yugoslavia, she came to the United States 45 years ago. She leaves another daughter, Mrs. Joseph Distl of Mansfield, two sons, Michael of Los Angeles and John of Maywood, 17 grandchildren and nine greatgrandchildren. Services in the Wapper Funeral home Thursday at 3 p. m.

Audience Acclaims Orchestra, Pianist By MARGUERITE The freshest, most appealing fered in Mansfield for several by the Farbman Sinfonietta Scoring a three-star hit in cation's winter series, the 20 Harry Farbman, and their brilliant nothing to be desired by the-audience. It was a completely satisfying evening, patrons agreed.

'The audience was given no chance to tire as the skilled musicians digressed from the classic "Symphony No. 5" by Schubert, to the ultra modern "La Guaracha," by Morton Gould; Gershwin's "Prelude No. and the recent musical hit, "Surrey With the Fringe on from "Oklahoma." In the first place, if anyone doubted the power of a small orchestra, the Farbman ensemble dispelled the doubt. Moreover, it was shown that a smaller orchestra is better suited to the stage limits and acoustics of the auditorium. Second, every selection played on the program was familiar to the eager audience whose applause was enthusiastic.

Third, attractive Miss Schiller (in private life, Mrs. Farbman) put the final touch to cert's perfection by her flawless interpretation of the Grieg Concerto in A Minor. The audience of some 1,000 persons all but leaped to its feet at the conclusion of the masterpiece.

Schiller, left that the entire house thundered approval at the end of the concerto's first movement. Miss Schiller gracefully took two bows before the applause died down. Then the concerto was resumed. Surrounded by autograph seekers in the wings, the lovely brunette soloist bubbled over with enthusiasm for the Mansfield audience. "You were a wonderful audience!" she gasped.

"It was so easy to play for you!" While the concerto was, undeniably, the peak of the concert, the entire program was perfectly tuned to the taste of the listeners. The artistic excellence of Schubert's Symphony perhaps took the second spotlight with the flowing "Emperor Waltz," by Strauss, and the rhythmical encore, "Surrey With the Fringe on Top" vying for third place. Other selections were the graceful Overture to "The Marriage Figaro," by Mozart; "Andanta for by Tartini, and the numbers, the dainty music encore, "Minuet" by Boccherini; and Smetna's "Dance of the Comedians." 3-30 Cape. 1348, King Features Syndicate, Inc, World rights "We don't refer to the position as 'office In this job of great opportunity, we call it part of the street.
