TIME . . . errs like most men in assessing reasons for the relatively small number of top women executives in our economy [Jan. 11]. A finger of shame for such old husband's tales as ". . . lack of technical aptitude and muscle power . . . cry . . . gossipy . . . get pregnant, or something." Something, indeed! If brawn were a requisite, most male executives would be disqualified at once. Just ask their doctors-or their wives. Maybe "no man ever takes more than a day away from work to have a baby," but plenty of men take considerably more time over their ulcers or their colds...

Since he is a bachelor, Masonry is his major hobby, and h e has been a York Rite Mason for 38 years...

The new J.C.S. chairman. Admiral Arthur Radford, once an Air Force foe and target himself, put his finger on the reason: under the hazy foreign-policy directives inherited by the Eisenhower Administration, the J.C.S. simply had to prepare the Army, Navy and Air Force for big wars, little wars, and all kinds of wars to be cut and tailored to the enemy's initiative.
