De Vrije Pers report (3 Apr 1954) on the press conference after the second Gerwis congress (Jakarta, 25-31 March 1954). Gerwis changed its name to Gerwani, dropping "Sedar" after criticism; it opposed the demonstration ban and arrests of labour organisers, urged a marriage law against forced marriage, would field no own candidates but join the election campaigns, and appealed against H-bombs.
Laporan De Vrije Pers (3 April 1954) tentang konferensi pers seusai kongres kedua Gerwis (Jakarta, 25-31 Maret 1954).
