| Handicapped Councii
Meets Difficulties in
|Co-0rdinating Units

The Washington Council for the
Handicapped is having difficulty get
ting started as an organization to
help coordinate the work Of 40
odd agencies dealing with problems
of physically handicapped persons
here.
The council was called into ex-
istence last May 27 at the instiga-
ton of the United States Employ
about all it has been able to do so
far is assemble information about
various organizations that want to
be members.
Representatives of these agencies
met in the Social Security Building
auditorium yesterday to elect Off
GERS and set up committees.
Lack Constitution.
They decided, however, they could
not elect officers because they did
not have a constitution setting up
an election procedure.
Instead, they elected temporary
officers - Virgil Smirnow of the
United States Employment Service
for the District as temporary chair
man; DR.. Thelma Hunt, professor of
psychology at George Washington
University, temporary vice chair
man, and Miss Mildred Scott, Sec
retary of the American Federation
of the Physically Handicapped, as
temporary secretary.
Mr.. SmirnoW, who had been serv-
ing as vice chairman-the chairman
and secretary who had been elected
some time ago before anybody
thought of a constitution resigned
in the meantime-had a slate of
committees, composed of represent
atives of various member organiza-
tions, ready for approval next.
Need Constitution First.
But David Amato, chief of the
District Rehabilitation Service of
the Federal Security Agency, con-
tended that committees could not
be made up of organization repre-
sentatives until it was decided
whether the council members were
acting as individuals or representa-
tives of their agencies. He thought
this point could be settled only by
adoption of Constitution.
Mr.. Smirnow said he could not
see how the council would have any
backbone" or be able to accom-
plish anything unless its members
represented the organizations whose
activities the council was supposed
to coordinate.
Walter K. Handy, executive direc-
tor of the National Society for the
Blind, said the council would be
useless if it became debating So
ciety for unofficial individuals.
Names Committeeman.
1t finally was agreed that Mr..
Smirnow should 60 ahead and desig-
nate members of the committees as
representatives of the organizations
they work for, as a temporary meas
ure, until the point was settled by
adoption of a constitution.
He did so and also named COM
mittee to draft a constitution. He
requested that the committees hold
their first meetings by the end of
January, 1945, 80 that the actual
work of the council could get under
