Election Tomorrow
Expected to End
Women's Dispute
Pan-American Board
To Name Chairman of
Inter-American Unit
The governing board of the Pan
American Union will meet tomorrow
to elect a chairman for the Inter
American Commission for Women,
thereby putting a finish to the
claims and counter claims that
have been bandied about Washing
ton since President Roosevelt ap
pointed Mary Winslow to represent
tlie United States on the commis
sion.
Spearhead of the disagreement
was Doris Stevens, chairman of the
, commission since its organization a
1 decade ago and leader in feminist
| ranks. Miss Stevens staged what
i amounted to a sit-down strike in
the commission offices at the Pan
American Union after the appoint
ment of Miss Winslow'.
Said There Was No Vacancy.
Her principal claim was that no
vacancy existed in the commission
which would justify the appoint
ment of Miss Winslow, although the
Lima Conference specified that rep
resentatives of the 21 republics on
the commission must be Govern
ment appointees and Miss Stevens
was not appointed originally by this
Government.
To complicate the issue, critics of
Miss Winslow's appointment
charged that, since Mrs. Roosevelt
and Secretary Perkins spoke in
favor of her, top-ranking woman
Democrats influence the President
when he appoints women.
Difference in Beliefs.
The difference in the basic beliefs
of the two women has made the
battle hotter. Miss Stevens has led
the fight for the equal rights amend
ment while Miss Winslow has been
an important opponent of that
amendment, working instead for
protective laws for women, such as
prohibiting night work and limiting
hours. Each is determined to keep
the other's views from spreading
through Latin America.
Miss Stevens, in New York, could
not be reached for comment on the
meeting of the governing board,
although it is known that up to the
present time she has steadfastly
maintained that she will continue
as chairman of the commission until
a new chairman is elected.
Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director of the
Pan-American Union, who has
maintained a determined silence in
the face of the tempest, explained
today the election of a new chair
man is on the orders of the Lima
! Conference.

I axi rirm Is Granted
Sightseeing Permit
Permission for the Independent
Taxi Owners’ Association, Inc., a
subsidiary of the Diamond Cab Co.,
to operate Diamond Tours on sight
seeing trips from Union Station to
points in Virginia and Maryland
was granted today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Under the Motor Carrier Act of
1935, companies conducting regular
tours acrces interstate lines must be
licensed by the I. C. C. The cor
poration doing business as Diamond
Tours is authorized in the decision
to operate as a broker of transpor
tation.
Harry Davis, president of the
Diamond Cab Co., explained that
the decision merely confirms the
right of the subsidiary to carry on
the tours it has been conducting.
The regular cabs operating in the
metropolitan area of Washington
voluntarily were withdrawn from
any regular tours to Mount Vernon
or other distant points when the
act of 1935 went into effect, he add
ed. and the company's advertised
round trips outside the city are con
fined to the fleet of limousines
known as Diamond Tours
