'biII0f Rights
For Trade Unions
New Suggestion
Urge Legislation
AS Bar Against
Discrimination

NEW YORK - CAMP - In q re-
port on trade union democracy. pu-
blished last week, the American CIV
il liberties union recommends a
program of action to extend demo-
cratic procedure in trade unions
and calls for a "bill Of rights for
trade union members. Federal and
state legislation against member
ship discrimination based on race,
color or creed is also urged through
additional legislation regulating the
internal affairs of trade unions IS
opposed.
The report is the result OF tWo-
wear inquiry by a committee under
the supervision of Prof. Eduafd G.
Lindeman, of New York, Prof. Frank
c. Pierson, of Swarthmore college,
directed the research.
PROPOSAL ENDORSED
Initiated because of repeated COM
plants to the ACIU by trade-un-
ion members who claim their civil
rights are being violated, the report
and the study on which it is based
have been. endorsed by 26 authori-
ties on industrial relations, includ-

DOUBLE TALK

Perhaps the most difficult
trend for a non-Irishman to ia
Thorn is the campaign TO spread
the Irish language. You'd have
thought there were too many
Languages i'm the world already.
Yet all official signs, including
street signs, are printed in both
English and Irish. Many shops
have signs in the windows: Re
member the patriot dead-speak
Irish, buy Irish. Even the
American com strips have
summaries in Irish below them
TO encourage youngsters to learn
1t. This double language causes
considerable confusion in Dub
lin, where at least half the pop
ulation understands only Eng

 London, Sept. 2T. (UP) = Ameri- can soldiers here have been trying to get themselves arrested by two police corporals at Waterloo sta- ton. a
 Please" they say eagerly, won't you put us under arrest2"
 The corporals are women--Anne Evans from the Isle of Man and Doris Knapton of Yorkshire. They are shining examples of the glam- our girl of the ATS the British military policewoman.
 When I heard that women mill tary police patroled the streets and tube stations of England, pictured buxoH11, drowning ladies with bulg- ing right arms and hard eyes. In- stead I found two pretty girls in their late POS, becomingly pow dered and rouged. They are allowed to use more makeup than other service girls because part of their job is to look nice and set an exam pie to others.
 An American air force officer just back from North Africa stopped the two the other night and begged them for Q date. But they just smiled sweetly and moved on grace fully-they're not supposed to have lengthy chats with strangers.
 The girls go about in pairs, but if that isn't protection enough on dark station platforms they're well equipped with a few ju.jitsu holds to discourage the most ardent. They are taught these in a months spe- cial training course, which includes lessons in traffic control, first-aid civil and military law.
 They're unique here even with the arrival of the Wacs, who will use the services of men MPs. Only In Daytona Beach, Fla, have o few WacS been assigned this duty and they don't undergo the months special training given ATS.
 Started two years ago as an ex-- pertinent, the policewoman idea proved so successful that 1t has grown. So many girls want to be- come policemen that there's a long waiting list. Corporal Evans and Knapton love their jobs.
 we used to be switchboard op- erators," they chorused, but we are accustomed to outdoor life and hate offices. We like to get around and meet people,"
 Their approach is sympathetic rather than tough. If they see an ATS nlisbehaving they go to her quietly so as not to attract atten- ton and politely ask her if she'd mind showing her papers. If they see . girl whose uniform is sloppy they smile charmingly and ask her if she'd be kind enough to, smooth up. Corporal Evans has been
