WOMEN TO Get
IL DORMITORIES
IN WASHINGTON

Washington. Feb. 4-CUP)--Gov-
eminent girls newly arrived in
washington are lucky people. After
March l they're going to have the
Washington Residence Halls to live
in and, according to william e.
Bissell Of the Public Buildings Adj
ministration who Is manager Of the
dormitories, 1.-THE rooms will pro-
vide as comfortable a Washington
home as possible"
According to the PBA, which is
operating these projects for the
Federal Public Housing Authority,
applications for the two dormito-
ries for women already in opera
ton, Meriden Hill Hotel and SCOTS
Hotel, have far exceeded the exist
ing facilities, and the IL residence
halls now under construction were
planned to alleviate this situation.
Women who arrived in Washing
ton after July, 194l, and who earn
between 81, 440-$1 300 q year will be
eligible to live in these residence
halls, which will be located in Ar
lington, near the Pentagon and
Navy Annex buildings; IN West
Potomac Park: In Suitland, Md,
near the Census Building, and at
Langston Terrace. The Langston
Terrace project will be for Negro
women only.
The rooms, all attractively fur
nished, will be both colorful and In
formal in spite Of the fact that
they're planned for utility. Boudoir
chairs, desks, indirect lighting, We
netian blinds, tinted walls, plenty
Of closet space, colorful blankets,
and comfortable beds, all help to
make the rooms more than the or
binary furnished room in q ROOM
ing house." which Is the bane Of
the government girls's Washington
life.
The residence halls, for which
Congress appropriated $4,000, 900,
were decorated by Gladys Miller,
the noted lecturer and authority on
interior decorating, whose keen eye
for practically has never detracted
her from the little niceties which
make four walls pleasanter
Infirmaries, recreational coun-
sellers, reception rooms, lounges,
cafeteria facilities, laundry rooms
and weekly maid service are all
added advantages to these new res
idence halls.
According to the Public Buildings
Administration, the completion Of
these dormitories will do much to
make the lot Of the Washington
government girl a happier one.

piled with special coupons while on

Accuse Officials
Of Provoking
Packard Strike
Asks Discharge of
Company Officials

DETROIT, June 5 (FP)-Presi-
dent R. j. Thomas of the United
Auto Workers (CIO) was revealed
June A to have asked the discharge
of three Packard Motor Co. Off
cials for promoting discrimination
against Negroes and provoking a
strike which left $4,000 workers
idle.
The three officials are C. E.
Weiss, weep re s id Mt; George
Schwartz, general foreman, and
Herbert Watts, personnel officer.
They were accused of deliberately
urging white workers to refuse to
work with three Negroes who had
qualified by seniority and training
for up-grading to machine jobs.
Accuses Company Representatives
The strike followed in the wake
of earlier incidents melted by rep
resentatives of management, ac-
cording to Thomas. Weiss, Thomas
continued, said he was speaking
for George Carpenter, Packard
president, in telling white workers
they did not have to work with
Negroes if they didn't want to,
contract or no contract.
"In a number of cases." Thomas
said, management has attempted
to wash its hands of responsibility
for racial clashes by asserting that
white workers won't work with
Negroes. In the Packard incident
we have an open-and-shut case OF
management fostering such an at
titude after the union had taken
a position in accordance with war
time regulations and American
policies of fair play"

hm during his stay in Moscow
from 1886, the film is undoubtedly
contribution to international
unity, and the major movie critics
agree-exciting entertainment.
Produced by Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. made history
when they produced mission to
Moscow" the first picture ever
made in Hollywood which not only
attempts to tell the American
people something about the Soviet
Union but which presents the
seamen who sail American ships
in their true colors, as heroes
who are performing a necessary
but dangerous work in delivering
the goods to Americas allies.
Labor union officials given .
special preview of the film be
fore its public release were high
in their praise for the picture. So
pleased were the union leaders
that they sent wires Of congratu-
lations to both Mr.. Davies and
Warner Bros.
Critics Of the New York Times,
Herald Tribune, PM, the Scripps-
Howard World Telegram and
Hearst's Mirror have praised the
picture and recommend it highly.
Even the New York Sun gave the
movie praise.
Recommended For Workers
In view Of the subject matter
which the film deals with and
which portrays a CIO Union, the
National Maritime Union, in its
true light, workers all over the
country are crowding theatres
showing this film. Toledo with its
$4,000 CI0 members no doubt will
turn out in large number to see
this picture which has aroused
more discussion than any picture
which Hollywood has produced in
] many years.

is very close, but he didn't

Increasing threats to the nations

as the Connally-Smith bill, the Sec
ond annual Eastern Labor Press
Conference declared June 6.
In a resolution urging vigorous
counter-attacks against the ene-

conference said that "such meas

Another resolution called upon
the AFL, the CIO and the railroad

Dor papers as means of counter
acting anti-labor propaganda in
the commercial press.
Chief Victor w. Rotnem of the

THE TRUE STORY
As to Chief Counsel Eugene

eating the Federal Communica-
tions Commission, the committee
Cox heads despite FCC's accus-
ing him of having accepted a
$2500 fee for representing a
radio station before the commis-
sion, he said heatedly: "Why, l
didn't even know Carey was
anti-New Deal when got him.
| didn't even know his partner,
Raoul Desvernine, had been
counsel for the Liberty League"
The true story of the -2500
check from an Albany, Ca, radio
station which he received after
he represented the station before
the FEC, he had been to digni-
fled to tell up to date, according
to the Judge.

ragged tones. "The Albany HeralC
had a station then, you see, but
they wanted more time on the

poration, and they wanted me to
