Hu.dkins,. a Labor Department and economist in the Manpower The name is real, be," said a Labor Department official, also unofficially. When told Hudkins' holds GS13 rank in the $16,000 to 517,000 bracket, the official snapped, "He'll never make GSI4," Hudkins, whose 200-page report is compiled mainly of writings by well-known psychiatrists, lawyers, anthropologists, sociologists and other experts, is quite serious about his conclusions.

But the Labor Department isn't about to touch the report with a 10-foot pole. Or even an 11-foot polt. "He wight to be fired," shuddered another Labor Depart- ment official--also unofficially --anticipating a flood of protests from feminists. "That's one war you can't win," he said. But Hudkins goes right on with his documentation that most of the ills of man are the fault of women.

You can blame mental depression, dwarfism, crime, delinquency, homosexuality, diabetes, colds, headaches and cancer on too much female dominance, says Hudkins, who at 36 has been shrewd enough to remain bachelor. "It doesn't mean that I don't like women," Hudkins said. "The trouble, is that we really don't have a national policy on the family, but President Nixon is moving toward that," he said, dropping a name that may give lesser officials pause about caJK Hudkins on the official carpet. He explained that Nixon's proposed Family Assistance Plan to replace the present welfare system would slop the trend of fathers leaving home so their wives and children can qualify for welfare. Hudkins' report somewhat parallels those of White House aide Daniel Patrick Moynihah, a key architect of Nixon's welfare reform plan who previously concluded present welfare policies encourage men to leave home, leaving women to become dominant in the family.

"What disturbs me most is that some of the things we think of normally as diseases result from female dominance," said Hudkins, slight, balding native of Wafcash, who been with the government for five years. It goes all the way back to the Bible, he said, citing God's ad- to women about their husbands in Genesis: "and he shall be your master." "What 'it's; proving is that the. Bible is true: these are biological laws," Hudkins said. What to do about it? Put women in their place, of course. "I'm definitely in favor of repealing the sex provision of the Civil Rights Act," which aims at equal job opportunities and pay for women, he said.

"We find thtt manpower policies an causing thew physical and mental illnesses in tht lone run," Hudkins: said. "Many men are trapped in low income jobs. If we are going to make males the head of the family, they have to have jobs." He went on: "When it's all brought out, we'll find the same things that. are causing rising crime rates and riots are causing diabetes and cancer." First press reports of Hudkins' study attracted the attention of some startled officials in the Ltbor Department "I ww them running 'irovtnd hills, screaming," out source..
