Charm and Poise of First Lady To Be Asset in Entertaining
NEW YORK — (UPI) The next first lady will do a lot of entertaining, predicts a long-time friend who on January 1 will join the White House official family.
Letitia Baldridge, who will serve as social secretary to Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, said "I imagine she will entertain a great deal. Jackie has all the gifts, the charm and ability necessary to be a hostess. She was born to the role.
Miss Baldridge, a friend of Mrs. Kennedy's for 20 years, called her a "young woman of many interests and many talents . . . her first thoughts are for her husband and family, of course. But things will be lively at the White House."
"She knows entertaining is a powerful weapon in creating good relations among people."

Females Curtailed in Politics Wage Earning in Switzerland
EERN, Switzerland — (UPI) - Swiss men, who take a dim view of the equality of woman and have steadfastly refused her political rights, recently added insult to injury by deciding that she should continue to receive less pay than a man doing the same work.
The all-male Upper Chamber of Parliament (Staenderat) refused, by 22 to 16 votes, to ratify Switzerland's adherence to International Labor Conference Agreement Number 100 which sets forth the principle of equal pay to men and women doing the same work.
The Lower Chamber of Parliament (Nationalrat) — also all-male — has approved the agreement already three times, trying to force the hand of the more conservative-minded Upper Chamber.
The decision means that female workers in many industries will go on drawing only about 70 per cent of the wages paid to men in the same jobs.
But the negative vote was the third time the Senate has said no and probably marked the last time for many years that parliament will
In industry, it has been a custom in most parts of the country to pay women less than men.

In politics, Swiss women had no rights whatsoever until last year when the French-speaking cantons of Vaud, Neuchatel and Geneva gave them the right to vote and to be elected in cantonal elections.
we asked for a decision on the matter.
Other cantons may follow soon. But a majority of Swiss voters still firmly believe that women should keep out of politics — and "stick to family, church and kitchen," as one slogan puts it.
Most observers agree that it will be many years before male voters are ready to grant females voting rights on a federal basis.
Like all other changes in the federal constitution, such a change would have to be approved by a majority of voters as well as cantons in a popular referendum.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — (UPI)—Sitting, not stuffing, makes a teenager overweight. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health have found that lean adolescents actually eat more, averaging 4600 calories a day compared with only 3400 for the "fatties." The difference: the lean youngsters use all their food energy, but the heavy ones let their calories settle as body fat.
