To Study Jap Education

Three Washington men were
among 80 educators invited to 60
to Japan by Gen. Macarthur to-
day to assist in converting the
japanese educational system to
democratic principles, the Associ-
ated Press reported from Tokyo.
In cable to the War Depart
ment, Gen. Macarthur asked for
mission composed of the Nations
foremost educators to advise Ja-
pans Ministry of Education and
educational committees.
In the list, he included DR.. Cor
don Bowles, director of the Far
Eastern section, Cultural Relations
Division of the State Department;
Dr. John Ward Studebaker, United
States commissioner of education,
and DR.. George Frederick Zook,
president Of the American Council
Of Education.
Gen. Macarthur suggested that
the mission be divided into four
major committees:
/. To study the democratic move
ment in Japan and to submit plans
| for school curricula and textbooks.
2. To study physiological meth
DDS for re-education of the japanese
reared in the tradition of militar-
ism and empire.
3. To analyze the administration
Of Japan's education system and
suggest immediate as well as long
run improvements.
4. To study higher education in
Japan with regard to the use Of
libraries, scientific laboratories and
museums and the freedom of stu
dents and faculty.

Mr.. Maddox's complete statement

"The sit-down strike of telephone
operators was called by the union

requiring telephone operator super

assigned duties.
For many months supervisors
have refused to perform certain

Decision Up to Beirne.
Whether the workers would con-
slider a walkout in sympathy with

employees in 81 cities in New York and
New Jersey hinged on a decision by
Joseph A. Beirne, president of the
National Federation of Telephone
Workers, backed up by his Executive
Board.
In addition to the 5000 operators
1000 maintenance, clerical and COM
mercial workers would vote whether

president of the District Federation
Of Telephone Workers.
Mr. Schultz said the vote would be
taken in afternoon and night bal
loting to enable all workers to par
ticipate. The strike, if called
should be 100 per cent effective
within 48 hours after the election
he said.
Both the local unions are engaged
in contractural negotiations with
the company and both have received
wage increase offers below the fig
ures demanded.

afternoon to bargain the difference
between a $13 "across-the- board
