British Women To Attend _San Francisco Conference By BARBARA WACE AP Newsfeatures LONDON—Britain has announc ed that two of her foremost femi rine members of Parliament, women of vastly different temper aments, will be among the dele gates at The World Security Con ference in San Francisco next month. Miss Florence Horsburgh, co ,ervative member for Dundee, has been pailiamentary secretary to the Minister of Health throughout the war. A tall woman with a sympathetic voice, she never heck les speakers in the House of Com mons and is noted for a tremen dous capacity for hard work with out fuss. Always dressed quietly, she achieved more publicity than us ual when she made history as the first woman to reply to the King’s speech opening Parliament. She wore a soft brown evening dress which now is in The Lodon Mu seum. Miss Eile Wilkinson, who as a laborite was named parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Pen sions in 1940 and later transferred 10 the Ministry of Home Security, is effective in an entirely differ ed manner. Hed-haired and only five feet (all, she stores a great deal of energy in a frail body. For many years, as organizer of the union of distributive allied workers, she was known for her forthright man ner and her quick, sometimes bit ter, comebacks which usually were very effective. ■ if you want to fight—fight Hit ler. ’ she told a group of strikers during the war — and the strike erded in five minutes. yjss Horsburgh piloted several bills through the House of Com mons, including the “Red Biddy’’ bill in Scotland which forbade the saie of methylated aicnonoi ior drinking purposes. Her wartime duties as Ministry of Health in cluded traveling hundreds of miles during the blitz, visiting mothers and babies evacuated to safe areas and coping with war-time short ages of maternity beds, midwives and domestic hospital staffs. Re cently she has handled the prob lem of children boarded out in foster homes. Miss Wilkinson as “firewatcher in chief” was largely responsible for the compulsory firewatching scheme which controlled the Lon don fireblitz. In 1941 she made a lecture tour of the United States as a guest of the AFL and is in terested in an understading be tween the workers of both coun tries to ensure post-war peace. * * * PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. J.

In gold or silver.__ Canteen Girls Play Big Sisters To The Yanks By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfeature Writer NEW YORK—You can bet the baby’s shoes that your best beau, husband or brother isn’t showering wine and bouquets on the country’s canteen hostesses. So says Alice Marie Casey of Parsons, Kansas, recently selected the most typical canteen hostess in the country. Since the blonde, brown-eyed Alice won the contest and a trip East, she has had her first sip of champagne, worn her first or chid and eaten her first oyster Says she: “No, the boys don’t buy us gifts —and we don’t want them to. Most of the girls have their own beaus in the service, and our six week hostess training course teaches us to respect the fact that the boys have their own girls at home.” Once in a while there is ro mance, she says. But it usually de velops where the girl and boy haven’t any other attachments. Alice, who has been helping at the U.S.O. canteen for almost two years, says she joined because, not having any brothers, she thought she ought to do something in the war effort. She and the 75 other hostesses divide into shifts and meet the trains at Parsons to dispense do nuts, apples and matches. On Sun days they invite the boys to their lomes for dinner. The canteen orchestra which is' supplied by the girls’ contribu tions can play its most romantic music but there is no cuddling or snuggling. “We’ve discovered a lonesome boy is happiest when we ask him to talk about his family. So we concentrate on his mother, sister, sweetheart or wife,” says Alice. One thing Alice has noticed is that the boys want girls to look Eeminine. She says: “All this bobby sock and sweat er talk is a lot of hooey—the boys don’t even want to dance with a girl who doesn’t look frilly.” After the dances, to avoid any couplirg off, the girls and boys leave in groups. This was the agreement the hostesses made in the beginning and they stick to it. The only trouble with that, says Alice, is ’that she’s gone out on nothing but group dates since she’s grown up. She says: “When the war is over and I get a chance to go out on a sin gle date, I don’t think I’ll know how to act.” Easy to Crochet \by Alice Brooks It’s so easy to crochet corde bags.

JAPS REPULSED NEAR LAOHOKOW CHUNGKING, April 2. — UP) — Japanese troops fought into Lao hokow and Nanyang over the week end, but were driven back with heavy losses Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek disclosed today in a spe cial order of the day commending Chinese forces for their defense of both key cities. Laohokow, in Hupeh province, and Nanyang, in Honan province, lie in an arc about 200 miles north west of Hankow. The Chinese said they had mend ed a breach in their lines Satur day at Laohokow, until recently the site of an advanced base oi the U. S. 14th Air Force. The high command reported the Chinese had recaptured Nanchang, 45 miles south of Laohokow, and were counterattacking 40 miles north of there in the vicinity oi Tenghsien. The Chinese also re ported flanking attacks in progress at Siangyang on the Han river 30 miles southeast of Laohokow. Eight hundred Japanese were kill ed and Lieutenant-General Okua, commanding the Japanese 110th Division, was severely wounded ir fighting northwest and southwesl of Neisiang on the Honan-Shensi highway, the Chinese communique -V British Units Mopping Up Enemy In Irrawaddy Area CALCUTTA, April 2. — (IP) — British armored units roved at will in the Irrawaddy pocket to day wiping out isolated groups of fanatical Japanese troops, while planes of the Eastern Air Com mand tracked down enemy forces attempting to sneak eastward into Thailand. A Southeast Asia Command com munique said destroyers of the East India fleet in cooperation with RAF planes sank a Japanese convoy in recent offensive sweeps in the Andaman Sea. In addition, the communique said, the destroyers bombarded Sigli. in north Sumatra, and Port Blain. Pravda Compares Yank Speed With Russians ’ MOSCOW, April 2. — (/P) — A Pravda commentator declared to day that the speed of the Allied drive beyond the Rhine was not extraordinary because, he said, while the Americans avanced 94 miles in three weeks, the First White Russian Army had gone 150 miles in a single week. “What really astonishes us is that the Allied armies have met almost no real resistance,” Maj. Gen. Mikhail Galactianov wrote. He said Germany’s main strength has been on the Eastern Front since 1941, and “here it has been ^destroyed.” Discussing the American-Brit ish advances, he wrote that to ap praise a military success the strength of the defense must be considered. The British and Americans were opposed by only 60 divisions when they invaded France, while the Red Army at the same time was tying up 200, he continued. In order to delay disaster on the Eastern Front the Nazi High Com mand threw all its existing re serves into the east, “even risking to bare the Western Front,” Gal actianov added. Summing up, he said "these are the facts which show why the Ger mans could not offer serious re sistance on the Siegfried Line. In several sections there was no kind of opposition to Allies even on such a large waterway as the Rhine. The Germans have resisted fierce ly on every sector of the Eastern Front and judging from this ex perience we had expected resist ance in the west.” Little Things In Life Add To Loneliness Of War Wife By RUTH MILLETT Everybody talks about the war wife’s “loneliness.” But only a war wife knows the little every-day incidents that high-light her loneliness, that are sharp reminders that she is a woman entirely on her own. And they’re such little things: Going out after dark to put the car in the garage. Seeing a man and woman work ing together in their yard, or hear ing a woman say, “I must tell Jim about that.” Having a child ask, “But WHEN is daddy coming home?” Hearing another woman worry ing out loud about what to give Bill for dinner. Seeing a father on an outing with his children. Buying a silly hat she knows she won’t be teased about. Having a neighbor say, “Joe was an houl late last night—and I was fi; to be tied.” ' Turning out 0v» lights at night and making sure the doors are locked. Having to make an important family decision entirely on her own. NIGHT OUT WR.TI GIRLS Seeing a man in the uniform her husband wears with his wife beside him. Walking home from a movie with “the girls.” Trying to find somebody to take down the storm windows, or mow the lawn. Getting birthday greeting from her husband two weeks early or two weeks late. Buying another box of V-mail stationary. Standing alone at the door bid ding guests “good-night.” WEALTHY MATRON KILLED, BURNED RALEIGH, April 2—(jP—Wealthy Mrs. John V. Higham, club and civic leader and active in the en tertaining of servicemen in Raleigh on furloughs, was found dead early today in her home in the Hayes barton area, her body charred and her skull fractured. She was 71. Coroner Roy M. Banks said that circumstances surrounding her death were “very mysterious”; that she kept a box of highly val uable jewels in a box in her bed room, where the fire is believed to have started. Neighbors said she kept some of the jewels for service men, some of whom are overseas. Firemen had not found the box late today, nor had they determined the origin of the fire. In announcing the findings of an autopsy, Banks said that Mrs. Hig autopsy, Banks said that Mrs. Hig ham had a fractured skull and it was believed that caused her death. He said that she could have fallen down the stairway but he had no evidence to support that theory. Her body was found several feet from the base of the stairway, as if she had started toward the front door. Most of her clothes had been burned off, but Banks said that part of her corset was found under the body, leading him to the belief that she was clothed and had not retired for the night. Two diamond rings which Banks said he was told Mrs. Higham cus tomarily wore were missing from her fingers, but her wedding band was intact. Banks said Mrs. Higham, wno apparently was alone in the house, had been' accustomed to entertain servicemen in her home over the week-ends. But this week-end he said, Mrs. Higham had not guests as far as he could learn. She talked with a neighbor about 10 o’clock last night. The fire broke out about two hours later. Banks said that he had not call ed an immediate inquest, pending a further investigation of the case by police. Mrs. Higham was known to have kept some of her other valuables and jewelry in a lock box in a bank here and plans were made to open the box within a day or so. Mrs. Higham’s husband died about 10 years ago. They had no children. Several of her relatives arrived here today. --V YMCA Mothers’ Club Will Meet Tomorrow A meeting of the Y. M. C.
