With women casting 52 per cent of the nation's vote, why do most those high policy-making jobs go to men? A few experienced women retheir fellow are ported highly, but capable are lacking of in holding self-con-ly any fidence, or bound by family obligations or economic security from into government on a full setting, basis with men. The women over 40, free of family responsibilities, was eyed as the the future political distaff side. strenguggestion the women's divisions be eliminated from the Democratic and Republican national organizations came from Miss Hazel Palmer of Sedalia, attractive. blonde lawyer who heads the NationFederation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs.

Miss Palmer saw politics as matter of "teamwork" and predicted: "The first party in the country that eliminates a setup that separates men and women will be the party to achieve success and secure the real brainwork of its women members." "Women tend to underestimate their capabilities" in politics, according to Mrs. Genevieve Blatt of Pittsburgh, secretary of internal affairs the first woman to win a statewide elective office in Pennsylvania. They have to pre themselves as candidates for office just as men do, adds Mrs. Blatt, who holds a high level job. The women says there's no denying the existence of male prejudice.

It's "an ageless tradition," and getting men to let women have anything to do with political policy-making is "a very, very slow process," in the view of Mrs. Consuelo Northrop Bailey, 57. She is lieutenant governor, of Vermont the only holding such a post in the nation. But she says her state would never elect a woman governor. Mrs.

Anna Rosenberg, only woman to serve as assistant secretary of defense, agrees "it's still an old habit with men not to appoint women to high posts in government. It's very hard to orient them to work with women." It's a "barrier of circ*mstances President (Continued From Page 1) tion's performance in their fields. Yesterday Secretary of Labor Mitchell sent Eisenhower a letter telling the President living costs have risen only 2.8 per cent during his term in office. The President presumably knew this, since he made the same point in a statement issued last when the consumer price index reached a record high. But Mitchell said he "wished to rect a good many misstatements" made by the opposition.

Egypt (Continued From Page 1) all was set for the landing, a French military spokesman said today there were "relatively" few French and British troops at the Cyprus staging area when the air assault began Wednesday. He said it required seven days to bring more troops by sea from England and four days from France.

However, both countries massed large numbers of troops in the Mediterranean soon after Egypt's President Nasser announced nationalization of the Suez Canal July 26. RAF PLANE LOST The British French command announced the loss of a twin-tailed Royal Air Force Venom jet fighter in a dawn attack over Egypt-the first British-French loss of the air assault, the Cyprus headquarters said. The Syrian radio, substituting for the bombed-out Cairo station, claimed the Egyptians shot down five British bombers today, raising to 18 the number of British and French planes the Egyptians claim to have downed. The French spokesman said French-British air raids dealt a heavy blow at the Egyptian artilelectro and barracks other at Al military Mazo, instal- near lations. He said Egyptian ground forces appeared to be regrouping west of the Suez Canal after being pushed from the Sinai Peninsula by Israeli forces.

The Israelis reported they gained control of the immense and barren peninsula and that ground fighting died down today. "We are now in the phase of technical operations which sooner or later will prepare the path to the occupation of the canal," the French spokesman said. He said the Egyptians have sunk six vessels in the Suez Canal to sabotage the waterway and that the British-French was making plans to command, sunken ships as soon as its ground forces secured the canal zone. The Egyptians have charged the British and French bombers with sinking two ships in the canal, but the BritishFrench command has denied it. Israeli communique reported the capture of the town of Atur, 155 miles south of Suez on the west coast of the Sinai peninsula.

The Israelis captured the 180- square-mile Gaza Strip yesterday. They reported the capture of thousands of Egyptian troops and large quantities of arms, vehicles and provisions.

Maleter was the commander of the diehard rebel band which holed up in Kilian barracks on Terenc Street last week and fought the Russians to a standstill despite the use of Soviet planes, tanks and mortars against him. Nagy sent protests to the Soviet embassy in Budapest 'and appealed for United Nations help to save his country. (The U.

N. Security Council scheduled a meeting in New York to consider the situation.) The possible status of Josef Cardinal Mindszenty in the new regime remained in doubt. Demands have been made that the popular prelate released after eight years imprisonment by the Communists, be appointed premier. The cardinal himself has indicated distaste for the idea. He will make a statement to the people of Hungary over the state radio today, it was announced.

Simultaneously, it was announced that a Soviet military mission in Budapest had begun negotiations with the government for evacuation of all Russian troops. Hungarians Seek Fortress Entrance BUDAPEST (UP) Hungarian engineers and troops tried for the fourth straight day today to find the entrance to a secret underground fortress where hated cret police were believed holding out with several hundred hostages. Officials said faraway voices could be heard in the pipes supplying air to the bunker's ventilation system, but they were unable to find the door. Some of Hungary's best engineers joined troops in digging for underground entrance. The thick three-story fortress was built under Koeztarsasag (Republic) Square by the former Stalinist regime.
