The District Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs voted yesterday to re-
quest the United Nations Commits
sion on Human Rights to insert in
the declaration of the international
bill OF rights and the covenant on
human rights the phrase that "the
rights Of men and women be equal
in all fields"
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, legislation
chairman, introduced the resolution
at the monthly meeting at the
Hamilton Hotel, and announced the
request would be forwarded i'm
mediately in letter to Mrs. Flea
nor Roosevelt, chairman of the
commission, which will meet in
Geneva next month.
The action was taken as the
District Federation took up num-
ber of resolutions scheduled to be
presented before the General Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs at the
annual convention next month in
Portland, Greg.
The local organization voted to
ask the General Federation to defer
action on a resolution on the inter-
national bill of human rights, which
requests that the United States
promptly ratify" the document as
we'll as the treaty for it's imple-
mentation. 1t was pointed out that
these two documents are not COM
pleted and the federation does not
know what their contents will be.

In Rail Labor Dispute
By the Associated Press

The White House disclosed today
that management and labor repre-
sentatives are holding joint negotia-
tions in the rail labor dispute.
Charles G. Ross, presidential press
secretary, told reporters that both
sides met for four hours at the
White House last night and will

Mr.. Ross would not forecast the
possibility of an agreement. He said
wait and see" what develops.
However, a source close to the
negotiations said both sides have
traded proposals and are submit
ting proposals and are submitting
these to their full committees for
consideration.
This would mean that acceptance
or rejection of any proposal would
probably come at the afternoon
meeting.
Mr.. Ross said that John r. Steel

with both sides from pm. (EST)

said most of the time" was spent

ALLIES Differ on Time
TO Release Protest
On Berlin Blockade
by ths Associoied Press

A disagreement has developed
among the Western powers over
plans for publication of their notes
of protest to Russia on the situation
in Berlin. Officials in Washington,
London and Paris were reported
today to be trying to iron out the
differences.
The time for release of the notes,
which insisted that the Russians life
the Berlin blockade. remains to be
fixed but seems likely to fall within
the next few days.
The difference of British and
French views, on the one hand, and
American views on the other is i'm
portant because it appears to reflect
different estimates of the seriousness
of the conflict between East and
West in the German capitol.
Britain and France, according to
reports from their capitals, have
been pressing for prompt publica-
ton of the notes delivered to the
Russians Tuesday.
Differ on Propaganda Value.
While no official statement of
their position has been made, it is
reported here that the foreign Of
fees in London and Paris believe
the important consideration is one
of propaganda.\ They are under
stood to argue that the Western
powers should not allow the Rus
slams opportunity to publish an un-
favorable reply before the Western
powers publish their protest.
The State Department, on the
other hand, is understood to take
the position that the issues involved
in the Berlin situation are of such
extreme seriousness that propa-
ganda is of secondary importance.
American officials have argued
with the British and French diplo-
mats that it would be indefensible
to take any action on publication of
the notes which might tend to dis
courage a favorable Russion reply
or to lay the Western powers open
to a charge. However untrue, that
they had hurt the chances of a set
tlement with premature publica-
ton of their notes.
U. S. Position Outlined.
The basic American position was
announced by the State Department
Tuesday. 1t was officially stated
then that Secretary of State Mar
shall had told Russian Ambassador
Alexander S. Panyushkin that the
United States had no intention of
making public the contents of the
note until ''the Soviet government
had a reasonable period of time to
study the note and make its reply"
At the time a reasonable period"
was interpreted by officials as mean
ing six or seven days. So the
evidence is that the State Depart
ment would prefer not to publish
the text at least before next week
end. Reports from Paris today, how
ever, spoke of a French desire to
release the notes at once. The
British similarly are reported to
favor quick action.

French Finance Employees
Strike on Woqe Demands

PARIS, July 8 (P.-Finance Min
istry employees struck today for a
change in their wage bracket classi-
fication.
The strikers include customs
men, tax collectors and workers of
the state tobacco monopoly and
central foreign currency exchange.
Union delegates voted the walk
out last night. They decided they
had not received satisfaction in
their demands for revision of the
reclassification system.
The union said the system would
reduce Finance Ministry workers
below the level of other civil ser
wants.
The Finance Ministry said the
strike movement was premature. A
communique said the government
will not make, its final decision on
the system until tonight.

but it diAN't occur to me they were

passports issued by him."
Miss Kennedy said she called the
hack inspectors office and was ad-
vised to check with the YugoslaV
Embassy about them.
"The telephone operator at the
Embassy told me she would take
care of them" Miss Kennedy said
so I sent them out there Satur-
day."
With Government offices being
closed Saturday and for the Fourth
of July holiday Monday, there was
a natural delay that gave rise to
suspicion in some quarters OF new
political troubles.
The boss of Yugoslav Ambassador
Sava N. Kosanovic is Marshal Tito
who doesn't like King Peter. And
Mr.. Fotich, whose boss when he was
Ambassador was King Peter, doesn't
like Marshal Tito.
But their conflict, 1t turned out
didn't extend to King Peters pass
ports, although Mr.. Kosanovic
couldn't have anything to do di-
rectly with King Peter or his friends
The Embassy solved the dilemma
by sending the passports to the
State Department, where they
turned up late yesterday in the
hands of an official who promised
to get them back to King Peter.

The power cuts interfered with

Offices had daylight power. The
headquarters of Gen. Lucius D.
Clay, American military governor,
used its own auxiliary power plant.
American officials estimated the
public utilities in the Western sec
tors normally use a minimum Of
5000 tons of coal daily. The United
States Air Force flew in 2l0 tons
yesterday when it began flying
coalman operations, but these flights
were expected to be stepped up.
Russian Fighters Seen.
A British transport pilot reported
sighting five Russian Yak fighter
planes in the British corridor. One
of the Soviet fighters peeled of

close vicinity" of the transport, a

said. The British military govern
ment explained it attached mo i'm

For the first time in the 20 days
the Russian blockade has been in
force. American airmen have sue

1000 tons of food and supplies to
Berlin in a 24-hour period. The goal
was reached yesterday by planes
which had added coal to their
cargoes.

perienced continuing interference"
with their compasseS while flying to
Berlin. 1t appeared deliberate, they
said.
There had been earlier reports Of
a nuisance beam. Last week Amer
ican authorities began an inquiry
in an attempt to determine if Rus
sian broadcasting stations were try
ing to pull American pilots off their
course. Pilots wandering out of the
corridor could be accused. by the
Russians of violating air rules.
There were new indications that
the Russian blockade was pinching
both ways The American military
government made public a complaint
from Marshal Sokolovsky against
the halting of deliveries from the
British American occupation zones
to the Russian zone. The deliveries
were stopped after the Russians be-
gan their squeeze in Berlin.
Russian Charges Violations.
In a letter dated July 3, Marshal
Sokolovsky charged that the Amer
ican and British action had grossly
violated" interzonal trade agree
mentS.
Replying on July S, Gen. Clay
said he hoped technical difficulties
which have necessitated this dis
ruotion of trade relations can be
overcome at an early date"
The Russians had used the phrase
technical difficulties" to explain
their blockade of the rail line into
Berlin from Western Germany.
The cost of beating the Soviet
blockade by planes apparently was a
heavy one. A British source in Lon
don said Britain would not be able
to maintain the air ferrying service
indefinitely. The informant added:
"It would be silly to specify how
long we will be able to keep it up.
If we said it would just be short
time, it would encourage the Rus
slams to hold out"

that it costs $50 ton to fly coal to
Berlin in two-engined DC-3 trans
ports.
