WOMAN ATTACHE
Rec. 9 a.m. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Mrs. Marjorie Spikes, of London, began something new in diplomacy when she took over a post in the British Embassy as attache in charge of women's affairs, says the New York Times correspondent. Mrs. Spikes described the job as an experiment and denned it as liaison with American women organisations, particularly in the field of welfare. Mrs. Spikes said: "I expect you to take a leaf out of our book and send someone to Britain. "I hope to travel throughout America, meeting women's groups and finding out the new things this country is doing in education, particularly in social and psychiatric work, housing and other fields of women's interests. I think it logical that posts such as mine may eventually work into the scheme of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations Organisation, since the problems with which I am working are international in scope."
