To Discuss Indian Problems
Council Of Cbmcb,Vonzem
Plans 2Otb Annual Session
By Gretchen Smith,
Women's Club Editor.

At time when one of the worlds
most controversial subjects is the
rights of minority peoples, 1t seems
singularly appropriate that the Mis-
sionary Institute of the Washington
Council Of Churchwomen should Sc
ect for study and discussion at its
goth annual meeting to be held the
end of the month, one of the Ma
tion's own problems-the American
Indian.
When the program for this years
study was drawn up by the United
Council of Churchwomen In New
York five years ago (all programs
are arranged five years in advance)
there must have been a far-seeing
prophet on the advisory board be-
cause the other subject selected for
study in 1944-45, the foreign topic,
was Southeast Asia and the Islands
of the Pacific"
Surely, no subjects should be Of
greater interest to thinking Amer
leans than these two. which will be
given close study at fall programs
followed by approximately 10000 900
churchwomen in the United States
this year.
Three-Day Session.
The Washington Council of
Churchwomen will hold it's three
day Missionary Institute commenc-
ing the afternoon of September e.
when the women will meet in the

Service, to avoid dialing the operator
If they need the Police or Fire De-
partments or ambulance service.
Mr.. Friede pointed out that, be-
cause of the telephone strike, such
emergency calls might be delayed if
the operator is called. Instead, he
asked the following procedure be
followed:
/. If possible, in case of fire, use
the municipal fire alarm system. Go
to the nearest box and pull the
alarm.
2. If the telephone must be used
for a fire, dial Hobart 1916
3. For an emergency ambulance,

Appeals Made TO Workers.
Early today, the telephone COM
pany issued a statement asking
"absentees" to return to their jobs
ito handle critically important
calls. The statement said:
"a number of operators, members
of the Washington Telephone Traf-
fic Union, have left the switchboards
to support the action of operators
in Dayton, Ohio, who are on strike
in protest of the continued employ
ment of out-of-town operators on
a salary plus expense basis.
This same question, along with
wages and other matters, has been a
subject of negotiations between the
Washington Telephone Traffic Union
and this company. The employment
of out town operators was found
necessary Immediately after Pearl
Harbor to handle the enormous in
crease in traffic in the Nations Capt.
tai. To assure these operators the
company agreed to pay part of their
living expenses in addition to regu-
lar wages. 1t has always been the
intention to return these people to
their homes as soon as that could be
done without detrimental effect on
the service.
Last September all unsettled
issues were referred to the War
Labor Board, hearings were held
and a decision is expected to be
made shortly.
Borrowed" Operators Reduced.
I'm accordance with an agree
ment reached with the union at that
time, the company has reduced the
number of borrowed operators from
333 to 1913, and has expressed its in
tention to dispense with the services
of the remainder by February Is.
provided this can be done without
detriment to the service of the Ma
tion's Capital.
Despite the fact that the War
Labor Board, in telegram ad-
dressed to the president of the union
and the company, stated that it ex-
pected all employees to remain at
their work, some operators are alb
sent from duty.
"It has been and will continue
to be the policy of the company
to conform to all procedure pre-
scribed by the Government.

which the public may experience
with its calls
