Sun and Flare - Women A t New Helghtm

In A l l Flelds Durlnt 1953 Inthe year 1953 womenmoved ahead as never before in govern-

ment. in industry, in business and as part of the labor forcesand these advances were made not only in the United States but in Europe and other spots throughout the world.

A beautiful young woman, mother df two, was crowned queen of the British Empire, an empire scattered over 14.00@,000 square miles. A woman. long a fighter for her own people, be- cametheleader of a 60-nation drive for world peace aa president of the United Nations General Assembly. And the United States turned some of the burden of diplomacy over to two women. nam- ingoneambassador to a major foreign country for the first time andanother to cabinet post, the first woman to hold the position since the days of Franklin Roosevelt. TOP WOMEN OF YEAR

If the spotlight of history foe-ed on any one woman in 1953. it was on Queen Eliea- bethII, 27-year-old monarch of Great Britain.

This was her coronation year, when she was thecenter of 1 pageant more than 1,000 yeera old. Millions from all over the world attended. but only 8.000 were permitted in ancient Westminster Abbey for the actual rites.

One faniliar face wea mising atthe coronation. The dowager QueenMay, 85, died March24 h the fall, the Queen and

her huaband, Philip, started a six-montha, 50.000-mile tour of the British Commonwealth. the longest ever made by a ruling sovereign.

Ledame Pandit, mother of three daughters and sister of

I Prime Minister Nehru of India I& it be known early she did not intend to become exhibit for the feminist..

which President Eisenhower kept a campaign promise to rcc~gnise the part womenworld plry in the election. He named 30to highposts. andthe Repub- liun Leadership said the total warn m record.

-ding the list was Mrs. Ovcta Culp Hobby. former director of the Women's Army Corps, a Houston, Tex.. editor d a l e a d e r inthe 1952 Demo- cnts-for-Eisenhower move-

She became secretary of the newly created Department of I md Health. Educationmd Welfare. Mrs.Hobby i m the aecmdwomm to hold cabinet rank. Miss Frances Perkins, former Sec- retaryof Labor, was the first.

The president named Clare Boothe Luce. author,playwright mdfarmer Republican repres- cntative from Co~ec t i cu t ,

I ambassador to Italy. and Ms.

Frances E. William,a career diplomat, ~~nbaasador to hit.- erland.

Other presidential appoint- ments of women included:

Mrs. Ivy Baker Priest, UnitedStmtes treasurer; Mrs. Frances Bolton, Republican congresswoman from Ohio. U. S. delegate to the eighth session of the U. N. General Assembly; Mrs. Oswald B. Lord, representative on the U.N. 's Human Rights Commb- sion; and Mrs. Katherine G. Howard, deputy civil defense administrator. RECORD IN JOBHOLDERS

The Department of Labor re- portedthata record 19,000,000 women held jobs outside the home in 1953 and that more married women, and older women. ahowedupin the labor force.

Undoubtedly momeof the re- cord total held jobs to help balance the family budget. In 1953, the cost of living contin- ued to climb.

The end of the war and the change in adminimtrationalter- ed life in Washington. It be- came gayer, and Mrs. Eisen- hower, wife of the president. could t a k aome of the credit. A naturally gregarious person, Mrs. Eisenhower stepped up social activity at the White House.

The year produced only one notable fashion change. Skirts became ahorter.

In the romance department, four wedding* of note:

Mrs. Rosemary McMahon, widow of Sen. Brien McMahon (R.Conn). and Baron Robert Silvercruys, Belgim Ambassa- dor to the United States, were married: Sen. JomephMcCathy (R.Wis) wam married to Jean Kerry, a former employee; actress Rita Hayworth and crooner Dick Haymes were married at Laa Vegam in the moat-publicized weddbgof the year. and Ginger Rogers was married to French actor k c - ques Bergerac.

P e r k Mestq the f a m e r U.S. Minister to Luxembour& visited Russia; she gave this advice to other women diplomats: "Be a diplomat, but don't forget to be a woman, too. " (U.P.)

The Bears got off t o a fast s ta r t when Hollyfield found Hogen- dorn with a 25-yd.touchdown pass. The Bears went a l l the way onthreeother plays. when Beling found Uhler twice and Hogen- dorn once to close the f i r s t half with a 25 to 2 lead.

In the second half it tookthe Bears 38 seconds to take the ball away from the Flyers and result in a score. A fine 40-yd. pas. to Olson accounted for the touchdown. The Flyers finally found the scoring aone when Korrella took a short Meehan pass. How- ever,the Flyers were only able to put together one more drive andwere turned back.by a n interception in the end zone. Dhahran controlled all the remaininghalt and scored twice, once by And- erson and again by Hogendorn.

Hollyfielddid some handsome kicking throughout the game and af ter one touchdown place-kicked the conversion. The defense on both teams was good with 18 interceptions being made. Dhahran rolled up 339 yards to 160 for the Flyers. lt was a rough and tumble game withinjuries and penalties keepingthe officials busy and the spectators on edge. What the spectatore &d not see was the Bears' tone of A l Duff into the pool brmging what they thought was a fitting climax to the season for their coach.
