To which the chairm: of the National Secretaries W Council. C. King Woodbridge, pre: ident of Dictaphone Corp., adds: “Secretaries. of today are con- sidered more intelligent than those of 1902.” ‘ The association’s poll is quoted by Woodbridge as showing the average secretary is now five feet four and a half, against five feet three at the turn of the century; her shoes are closer to 7B than the 4B of yesteryear; and she has a life expectancy at birth of 60 years, or 18 more than 50 years ago. The U. S. Census Bureau. notes that there’s a greater percentage of married women now than in 1940, and that today’s bride is usually several years younger than brides of pre-war days. And, like other women, secretaries marry younger these days, too. But the really fascinating sta- tistics from that poll are those backed up by the research files of the Corset and Brassiere As- sociation. According to these rec- ords: West Coast secretaries have the widest hips—two inches wider than the national average. New York secretaries have the narrowest— but the most getierous bust meas- urements. Texas secretaries, on average, are the longest waisted— about an inch and a half longer than the nation ai whole. Some is the industry predict that the way things are going, by the year 2000 the average secretary will be an inch and a half taller than now, weigh three pounds more ana be slightly larger in all directipns. As for Secretaries Day, Wood- bridge insists it isn’t a commer- cial idea. But if you see some ads suggesting a gift for the gal, ma be it'll seem just like Mother's Day or Father's Day—strictly sen- timental. Reds Are Adamant MUNSAN, Korea (# — Maj.Gen. William K.

Carson, non-fiction, pub- lished by Oxford University Press, New York City, 271 pp.) This is a biography of birds who fly, in the sea wind and creatures who five under the sea wind. Pyacheps, a black skiramer, is the hero of the first section of the book calied “Flood Tide.” He flies over a small island and the sea surrounding it, And he meets all sorts of sea creatures while he goes. A water rat “crafty with the cunning of years and filled with the | for blood, had come down to the abdomens of the shad rp teeth during the night, and eat the roe and sometimes the flesh as well, leaving only a bag of skin with an eel or two inside. And as the tide goes from ebb to flow, Rynchops follows the racing water seward. In the Spring Flight section birds of shore and marsh fly northward along ancestral airlanes, seeking their nesting places. And when they nest along the shore other sea crea- tures meet the migrating birds. Ghost crabs come out of their bur- ros in the loose white sand. One trouched behind a litter of sea oats stubble, leaves of beach grass, and pieces of sea lettuce. He was watching for a beach flea. “. , .Before the tide had risen another hand’s breadth, a beach flea crept oft from under a green frond of sea lettuce and leaped with an agile flexing of its legs across a stem of sea oats, as large to it as a fallen pine. The ghost crab sprang like a pouncing cat and seized the flea in his large crush- ing claw, or chela, and devoured it. During the next hour he caught and ate many of the beach hoppers, stealing on silent feet from one vantage point to another as he stalked his prey, “. . the ghost crab, still at his hunting of beach fleas, was alarm- ed by the turmoil of birds over- head, by the many racing shadows that sped over the sand. By now he was far from his own burrow. When he saw the fisherman walk- ing across the beach he dashed into the surf, preferring this refuge to flight. But a large channel bass was lurking near by, and in a twinkling the crab was seized and eaten. Later in the same day, the bass was attacked by sharks and what was left of it was cast up by the tide into the sand. here the beach fleas, scavengers of the shore, swarmed over it and de- voured it...” In the Arctic Rendeyvous sec- tion the birds and animals mee’ the snow death.

Her picture of creatures of the sea and sea wind ranks with the best English prose studies on nature. (MYSTERY FICTION THEORY AND TECHNIQUE by Marie F. Rodell, non-fiction, published by Hermitage House, New York City, 230 pages.) This book takes the reader of mystery stories behind the scenes to watch their construction. All bloody details of how a who-done-it is done are laid bare. The author divides mystery fic- tion into four categories - the de. tective story, the horror story, the adventure-mystery, and the char-| acter or literary mystery novel. He devotes short chapters to an analy- sis of each of these current classi- fications. Then he points out that the fact of murder presupposes a corpse, a murderer, a motive, ns, opportunity and a place. Miss Rodel] also goes thoroughly into the all important corpse. She dissects it down to the broken thumbnail. The amount of reader. feeling permitted for the corpse is weighed. The disposition of the body is considered. Is the fact of death to be concealed? Is, io be a? give the suicide or acci Or s he pression of @ Under the same verbal micros pe the murderer, suspen: clues are considered, as w taboos and musts for the genre. id in case the reader wants to is own hand at writing a mys. as manuscript preparation markets are not forgotten.

At his own request, the 5-star general is retiring without pay from the Army he has served for 37 years. After a final round of conferences in Washington he heads for his Kansas home. In South Dakota and California, Republican and Democratic pri- maries alike were selecting presi- dential nominating delegates. Dera- en in Alabama primary and in a Maryland convention. At first blush, the South Dakota balloting looked unimportant—only 14 Republican and eight Democrat- ie delegates being elected to serve at next month’s National Conven- tions in Chicago But to Eisenhower and his chief rival for the Republican presiden- tial nomination, Ohio’s Sen. Robert Taft, the psychological prize far outweighed the smal number of delegate votes involved. Taft and Eisenhower were rated neck-and-neck for South Dakota’s 14 GOP votes. It is their last clear-cut joust before the July 7 convention. A Taft victory could dull some of the luster of the general’s homecoming. A win for Eisenhower would make him a hard man to stop at the conven- tion. About 120,000 voters are expected to turn out in South Dakota, thanks to a brisk Taft-Eisenhower cam- paign and govd weather. The rec- ord of 128,N00 ballots was set in 1932. The Democratic race there, by comparison, was mild. Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee is conceded a favorite over a state orgaaization slate pledged to Sen. Hubert Hum- phrey of Minnesota. Republicans take top billing in California, too, where 70 GOP and 68 Democratic delegate votes are at stake. Officials look for 3,600,000 votes from the 5,300,000 registra- tion. California Gov. Earl Warren is backed by the state’s leading Re- publicans in his bid for the Re- publican presidential nomination. He has accused his political foes of waging a hate campaign and, Monday night, said they spent a half-million dollars in a effort to defeat him. Rep. Thomas Werdel, up for re- election and a backer of Taft or Gen. Douglas MacArthur, retorted: “The hate and villification in this campaign comes from the gover- nor. Our money comes irom thou- | sands of Republicans.” Taft himself has stnyed clear of the California primary. cisenhow- er backers have endorsed Warren. | McArthur has saia he is not a candidate but favors- Taft.

Plans call for him to speak briefly at a conerner- stone laying at an Eisenhower Museum and review a parade de- picting scenes from his life. At 6 p. m. EST. They will deliver a speech to be radio-broadcast and televised nation-wide. On Thursday, Eisenhower will hold his first out-of-uniform news conference. It is here the general's no-politics-please request will be lifted. Monday’s politics, meanwhile. turned up these results: Missouri Republicans, in a har monious convention at Kansas City chose ‘their National Committee representatives. Convention dele- gates were elected at earlier dis- trict meetings. Mississippi “Lily White’? Repub- licans, composed mostly of white persons, disagreed at a Jackson meeting, They named two delega- tions, one pledged to Eisenhower and one uninstructed but with Ei- senhower leanings. This makes three GOP delegations from Mis- sissippi. The “Black and Ten’ group named earlier is backing Taft. The National Convention will have the’ job vi accrediting one of the three, The state has five votes. Rhode Island's Democratic state convention at Providence named a 42-voté uninstructed and unpledged delegation. We Service All Maes of Cars, Specializing in...
