The
charts
and
text
indicated
that
most
of
the
atrocities
occurred
in
the
first
year
of
the
war,
when
the
Communists
invaded
South
Korea
and
overran
American
and
South
Korean
troops.
To
the
Chinese
were
charged
27.3
per

of
the
war
crimes
alleged.
The
North
Korean
Reds
were
blamed
as
the
greater
barbarians.
The
army
said
"it
is
an
inter-tsting
fact
that
the
North
Ko-lean
people's
army
slaughtered
most
civilians
during
September,
1950.
Of
these,

OKLAHOMA
CITY
(AP)
Weaker
sex?
Rubbish!
says
Dr.
William
G.
Leaman
Jr.,
Philadelphia
heart
specialist,
who
stunned
Oklahoma
Clinical
Society
delegates,
mostly
male,
with
the
bold
statement:
"Women
are
smarter
than
men!"
This
"weaker-sex
myth,"
he
said,
"just
permits
ladies
to
live
a
less-exerting
life
and
outlive
their
male
counterparts
by
an
average
of
six
to
sevn
yemu
-
"The

l
resist
the
temptation
to
shovel
snow,"
said
Leaman.
"Men
like
to
show
off,
to
prove
they
are
big
and
strong."
But
by
keeping
alive
the
weaker-sex
idea,
women
did
not
have
to
over-exert
themselves
to
prove
they
still
had
their
old
vim
and
vigor.
Added
proof
to
explode
the
age-old
myth
of
female
weakness
was
offered.
"Women
can
lose
more
blood.
"Women
can
stand
more
shock.

complex.
"They
can
hold
down
a
job,
take"
care
of
a
home
and
family,
and,
at
the
same
time,
guard
the
supposedly-stronger
male."
As
a
finale.
Dr.
Leaman
added:
"It
is
a
woman's
world
If
she
wants
to
ndmtt
it
and
claim
it.
But
perhaps
she
would
be
unwise
to
do
so."
