Miss Hennock Describes Experiences In FCC Post By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? When Frieda Hennoek was called to serve as the only member of the Federal Com munications Commission in 1948, she gladly accepted the challenge, gave up her lucrative law practice in New York and her swank Park Avenue apartment and came to Washington. "1 felt there was no greater op portunity for a lawyer than to use his or her technical know ledge to serve the country," she said upon her recent retirement from the post. Richard A. Mack of Coral Gables, Fla., succeeds her "I came here to do a Job," Miss Hennoek told me. "I fought every ! tough battle that was here to fight. I will go back to practicing law. I intend to keep on fighting for the things I believe in." Her biggest fight was to get television frequencies set aside for | educational uses by noncommer-; (cis 1, nonprofit stations. Some 257 channels have now been set aside | for this purpose. I . ; "There are 48 applications for these on file and 21 will be on the air by the end of the year," she said. "I hope one day to see a national system to aid the educa tors. Alabama already has a whole network financed with state funds. 1 hope the idea will sweep the country." Miss Hennock, one of the first women President Truman named to a high government post, says ! she's disappointed a woman was not named by President Eisenhow er to succeed her on the commis sion. She says she. feels the inte rests of women in this held are best understood and best translated by a woman. Furthermore, she thinks "women should be getting into higher offices more and more." Miss Hennock created quite a stir when she arrived in Washing toil in 1948. She is blonde, attrac tive, single, keen and independent. Polish born, she was brought to this country at 5. Her family wanted her to be a musician, but she always hankered to study law. High School Students Will See Washington Backstage By JANE KADS WASHINGTON _ The nation's capital, expecting to play host to some half-million high gchool stu dents, is going to offer them some thing more than sightseeing and pleasuring this> spring, traditional time for school excursions from hundreds of communities. If plans formulated by Clar ence A. Arata, executive director of the Greater National Capital Com mittee, work out they'll get a "new educational experience and see first hand how the government of their country functions." One phase of Arata's program is to give them an opportunity to meet top-level government author ities. Ten cabinet departments have arranged a program with the help of the National Education Assn. and the committee. Congressmen from the students' districts have agreed to show the youngsters through the Capita] building to let them get "the feel" of sitting in the wells of the House and the Senate and experience the feeling of history in the making. This "extension of the classroom to Washington," as Arata puts It, has long been sought by teachers, civic leaders and the students themselves, who represent some 6, 900 high schools throughout the , nation. "While the planning is necessar- j lly experimental this spring," Ara ta told me, "undoubtedly there will ' emerge a final. Arm plan which will / ? 'W,- **"V : be Instituted on a regular basis in the fall, when more and more stu dent groups are planning their trips to Washington." The plan calls for setting aside certain hours on Monda\ s, Tues days. Wednesdays and Thursdays in which students can be received in the government's departmental buildings with a big-shot official giving them an idea how their de partment ticks. The youngsters will be taken backstage for an In side look at both the legislative and executive branches of their government, their inter - relation with one another, and with their own local and state communities. The Greater National Capitol Committee will act as a clearing house, or booking agent Arata ex plained. It will maintain a daily status board, showing the time and place of the orientation lectures by departments and the seating capacity of each. Through advance arrangements, the groups will be booked into the various depart ments without conflict or duplica tion. Vates Attend State Farm Bureau Schodl ' j Mr. and Mrs. Oral L.
