THURSDAY:; . :JANtT.ARY 'lO, 1952 Correspondent Says Females Over-Violent With the current discussions of whether, when, and 'how women will be drafted into - the armed services in the event of all-out war, we find one member of the masculine sex who states that undue emphasis of 'violence is a weakness of the female sex, and that front-line warfare would be exceedirigly Cruel if fought by women. In the current , issue of the Re porter, assistant managing editor Al Newman, - one-time war cor respondent and denizen of Oma ha and - Salerno beaches, analy zes women's attitude toward war in general and describes a typi cal battle between women.. "Women would ..probably be capable of extreme physical vio lence when aroused," he says. di . . (They would be) able to bear and inflict extraordinary amounts of •pain . . . brave, and somewhat inclined, particularly in- the heat of combat against a personally hated fde, to ignore the Geneva Convention." Biblical Heroine Couple t h.e s•e 'qualities with several feminine foibles such as having an artillery barrage ,ar rive late,' and the bombardment of a friendly town due to' errors in map reading, and it - is easy to see that an all-feminine bat pe would eclipse the horrors of atomic war, Newman says. To support his views,• Newman uses an instance from the Bible. "After Jael, the Biblical hertiiine put Israel's enemy Sisera to sleep,• was she content to slip a knife between his ribs?" he asks. "Hardly: She drove a tent pin through his skull." Turning to modern woman,' Newman says she is brave, har dy, and self-sacrificing. He ap plauds the women of the var ious air raid precaution services in London during World Wir and the U.S. Army nurses. British History She is inclined to ignore "Silly" rules, he says, as the general feminine defense is .that the frac THE LION STUDIO Look For The Crimson Door By BETTIE LOUX tured ordinance "was enacted b 3 men." 'From his experiences during the last war he feels that the average American woman simpli fied nearly six years of. complex' warfare into a • blood feud be tween herself and Hitler. Usu ally the only question asked him by women when - he returne_ from Europe, he says, was, "Do yott think Hitler is really dead?" Newman would have preferred to answer questions concerning the _)ccupation policy and -the intent of the Russians, it seems. For many years, he says, the monotonous feminist cry has been that if women ruled the world there would be no more wars. !.eighty Appointed To Panhel Office • June Leighty h'as been appoin ted corresponding secretary of Panhellenic Council. ; Miss Leighty will succeed the former Betty Champlin who was recently, married to Edward Par sons and who plans to transfer to Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre.
