The presence of a sign and the
absence of a book make life for
Mrs. Gladys Gleason a question
able affair.
Mrs. Gleason is a cheerful,
middle-aged woman, employed
by the Government Printing Of
flee, superintendent of docu-
ments, in its branch in the old
War Manpower Commission
Building at 1778 Pennsylvania
avenue NV.
She is one of those civil serv-
ants who is more than willing
to lend a helping hand-if she
can. But that new sign is i'm
posing on her good nature.
Erected earlier this month, it
proclaims to passersby, especial
ly tourists, that inside they will
find the United States Informa-
ton Agency. This is an agency
that takes in the Voice of Amer
lea and other overseas informa-
ton activities formerly under
the State Department, the Mu-
tual Security Administration
Misleads Tourists.
The new agency is devoted to
the dissemination of political
and economic information over
seas. It has nothing whatsoever
to do with enlightening bewil-
dered sightSeers.
But try to tell that to an out
of-towner," Mrs. Gleason pro-
tested. "They see that sign out
side, and because my Office is the
first after you enter, they feel
I am the answer to their pray
ers."
She falls short of that status,
Mrs. Gleason readily comedies.
The lady who sells Government
publications says it is because she
hasn't got a book. The volume
she has in mind would have the

Phone Strike "
Believed Near
In Maryland
Union Authorizes
WuIkout;; Muy Start
In State Wednesday

A strike of Maryland's inde-
pendent telephone workers may
be called Wednesday. the union
president, Mrs. Margaret Weiss,
said today.
This statement came on the
heels of a strike authorization
vote announced yesterday. Mrs.
Weiss is president of the Mary
land Telephone Union. an inde-
pendent group of $500 operators
employed by the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. The
group has voted 2.034 to $50 to
authorize it's executive commit
tee to call a strike if the dead
lock in wage negotiations con-
tinueS.
Just what effect this might
have on the CIO telephone unions
in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties-which are not
part of the Maryland Telephone
Union-was not clear today. The
CIO unions spokesmen and COM
pany representatives are sched-
uled to hold another meeting
at 10 am. Monday.
NegOtiators Meeting.
The independent unions repre-
sentatives were slated to meet
with company negotiators at 10
am. today in Baltimore.
The CIO Communications
Workers of America has author
lied a strike if current talks fail
to produce a new contract. The
old one expired July %.
District and nearby Maryland
telephone union workers who be-
long to the CIO have been vainly
negotiating with the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. for
the past several weeks. No prog
ress was reported at yesterdays
session. Union officials want
wage advances of So and SO
weekly for their members.
The company has suggested a
$3.50 weekly increase.
Virginia Strike Also Looms.
In Virginia, the CIO contract
with the Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co. expired last Sum-
day at midnight, but negotiators
are scheduled to meet again
Monday in Richmond. Bargain
ing was recessed by mutual
agreement. In the interim, both
sides will review their positions.
Altogether, $4,000 company
workers in the District, Mary
land, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia may strike to enforce
their demands if negotiations
fail. Strike action has already
been authorized by 1000 MEM
bers of the CIO Communica-
tions Workers of America in the
District and locals in Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia.
The contract of the Maryland
Telephone Union expired July
81, but both sides agreed on an
extension which runs until Tues
day.
1T is quite possible that a
strike may be called Wednes-
day." Mrs. Weiss declared.
"The operators are fighting
for a narrowing down of a $14.50
wage differential which exists
throughout the State"
The company has offered q
$1.50 weekly increase.

Senate Group
Rejects Transit
Union Plea
Doubts Its Duty
To Investigate
Pension Dispute

Chairman Payne of a Senate
District subcommittee has turned
down a proposal that his sub
committee make an immediate
investigation of phases Of the
pension dispute between the
Capital Transit Co. and its union
employees.
In reply to a letter from the
transit workers union he said:
''It is not believed that
this subcommittee has the duty
to enter into matters pertaining
to disputes between any parties"
Walter j. Bierwagen, transit
workers union president, said
. this was not the reply the union
had hoped for. But he pointed
to another sentence in Senator
Payne's letter. which said the
study being made of public trans
portation in the District area
would include "all phases of
activity of the public transporta-
tion service"
Contract Cited.
Under this statement, Mr..
Bierwagen said, the union counts
on getting before the subcom-
mittee "the fact the company
refuses to honor it's obligations
under it's contract with the
union to arbitrate disputes, leav-
ing the public upset because it
does not know whether there
will be Interruptions in the
service"
Mr.. Bierwagen wrote the Sena-
tor a week ago, stating that the
company had refused arbitra-
ton of the pension dispute. He
also pointed out the company
had refused to appear before a
fact-f1nding board appointed by
District and Federal officials.
He asked that the Payne sub
committee use its subpoena
power in an immediate inves-
tigation to bring the facts before
the public.
Negotiations at StandStilI.
Senator Payne's reply was sent
from Waldoboro, Me-, where he
Is vacationing. In concluding his
letter he said:
You may be sure the sub
committee desires to bring forth
all factual data that may be of
assistance in strengthening the
public transportation operations
of the District of Columbia so
that the best interests of the
public concerned may be served"
The transit dispute now is
marking time. Both the union
and the company are awaiting
word from the Federal Mediation
and Cancellation Service, which
is seeking resumption of negotia-
tions.
