ECONOMIC WELFARE ENERGY PROBE AIM Non-Technocratic Group at Columbia U. Seeks U. S. Well Being. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, January 28.—Sustained economic well-being for the people of the United States is the aim of energy researchers — non-technocratie—at Co- lumbia_University. Dr. Walter Rautenstrauch, head of the department of industrial engineer- ing at #he university, who recently with- drew from the technocracy group which was housed on the campus, voiced the aim today at a luncheon given by the League for Industrial Democracy. The continuing research by his de- partment, he said, “has no connection with technocracy and the university is in no way connected with technocracy.” This was reiteration of a previous dis- avowal. Basic Laws Are Sought. “The purpose of the research” he went on, “is to inquire into the physical factors which determine our state of economic well-being and to find what basic laws, if any. underlie our eco- nomic life.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 28— Three_faiths—Protestant, Catholic and Jew—have set up in Cleveland a “sun glass” to focus the burning rays of re- ligion in the practical solution of such depression problems as social disorders and labor disputes. 3 The inter-faith commission is de- scribed by Rabbi Barnett R. Brickner, one of the sponsors, as the first move- ment in America in which the three re- ligions have joined to give a concrete answer to the question, “What Religion Propose to Do About the | Present Social Crisis?” | Composed of 18 outstanding ecclesi- | astics and laymen, including Newton D. | Baker, former Secretary of War, the | commission* proposes to act as a court | of arbitration where its services are re- quested in labor disputes and in a wide variety of cases arising in which there is evidence of social strife or maladjust- | ment. | Later the commission is to be ex- | panded to a membership of 25, and a | public meeting called at which it is hoped to lay the national foundation for similar organizations in other cities. | One of the first steps, according to Rabbi Brickner, will be to study the nomic well-being for the people of the | giily priams ‘or the three faiths United States.

DOAK WILL ADDRESS WOMEN’S MEETING Secretary of Labor Will Speak February 5 Under Govern- ment Workers’ Council. Secretary of Labor William N. Doak will be one of the speakers at a mass meeting, at 3 p.m. Sunday, February 5, at the Masonic Temple Auditorium, under sponsorship of the Government Workers' Council of the National ‘Women'’s Party. The meeting will dis- cuss “Do Women Have a Right to Paid Employment.” ‘The Women's party takes the stand that “the right to vote in & country where you have not the right to paid employment is a farce.” According to the party: “The mass meeting is being called to provide pow- erful answers of prominent people to the hysterical efforts of the thoughtless to force women out of employment temporarily, and of the selfish who would like to force them out perma- nently.” Other speakers include Eleanor Pat- terson, editor of the Washington Her- ald; Miss Jessie Dell. Civil Service com- missioner; Representative Louis Ludlow of Indiana, Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, pres- ident of the District Federation of Women's Clubs, and Maud Younger, congressional chairman of the party. Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, who_has led this fight on the floor of the Senate, will be & guest on the platform. . The immediate objective of the Gov- ernment Workers' Council is to deletey the married persons clause from the| economy act, which has been operating to throw women out of their jobs: and to advance the work on the equal rights amendment as woman's only perma- nent safeguard against legal discrimi- nation.
