MOSCOW, Feb. 18.-The Soviet

pressed an interest in exchanging

The Eastern delegates replied
that they must first know the i'm

solved the impasse by suggesting
that Western import requirements

Capt. Milliken explained that

they get the idea of the legal end

10 years. 2. Recognized in her
chosen field. 3. Interested in the
District as a community. 4. En-
gagged in a field directly or indi-
rectly promoting the economic
and social advancement Of women.
To relieve the captain Of a
routine interview-here's a de-
scription of her office at 1924
Fifth street NV. And it pretty
well tells the story.
In the front double windows
Of the 72-year-old building. for
mer precinct station built to re-
semble an armory, are three cop
per pots containing green plants.
The high-ceiling room is the cap
tain's quarters.
A Paisley plate with painted
roosters in the center shares the
top of q bookcase with some wick
er craft and a tiny ivory statue.
Amid the cases Of law books and
similar well-used, heavy tones are
such current titled works as Bet
ter Ways Of Growing Up"
Beneath the buried rasp of the
police public address system with
its call numbers and its "in serv-
ice." 'out of service" and man
down" declarations, can be heard
patient, everlasting phone con-
versations Of the gentle captain.
A few snatches Of the converse
tions prove to the listener that
the captain is long to call girl
bad. she seeks to find a reason
behind disorderly or unusual be-
havior, she knows her job and
she knows the police manual.
Why would this Barnard Col
lege graduate. this native Wash
ingtonian. this daughter of a
judge, this reserved lady, choose
to be a policewoman? Capt. Mil
liken says she did have certain
reservations about it (still does,
IN fact), but she left college with
q desire to perform a public serv-
ice which dealt with people.
After serving a hitch with the
Navy in World War I she joined
the bureau on January 81, 1919.
Up through the ranks she, went,
from sergeant to lieutenant to
captain. and to director Of the
bureau In 1884.
II was q sergeant a long, long
time" Capt. Milliken said. II
liked being a sergeant" From
those days to the present. the
stream Of women in and out of
the bureau hasn't changed In her
opinion. People are reacting to
their troubles the same as they
always did," she stated.
why is a women's bureau so nee
essary?" Capt. Milliken stretched
her feet far beneath the knee-hole
desk. stuck a wisp of hair under
q new straw hat, tucked an escap-
ing white eyelet rufiie of her
blouse up the sleeve of q blue suit,
and answered:
"Just as after the first World
War. Washington faces the prob
lem of youngsters. children Of
Government employees and youth
full employees themselves. who
must be handled in a constructive
rather than the routine way.
