child health Republican and anti-Smith democratic
women OF San Antonio protested the appointment 10
5ecy. Ray Lyman Wilbur.
Secy. Wilbur received and read the protest. He
didn't pigeon-hole 1t. He said politics had nothing
70 do with the selection OF Mrs. King, that Mrs.
King was nominated for membership Of one Of the
committees by the chairman Of the conference. DR..
John Anderson. Of Minnesota.
DR.. Anderson wanted her services because OF her
experience with the children of prisoners In the
handling Of which she was considered expert. Secy.
Wilbur pointed out that the executive committee.
responsible for the selection of members Of other
committees, had determined to choose experts for
the various phases Of health and welfare work to
be taken up by the conference, land we needed peo-
pie experienced in dealing with neglected children
the children Of persons confined in prisons and asy-
lums and those who suffered because Of the unern-

According 10 q Washington correspondent Secy-

bers and officials OF the national conference declared
that the position for which Mrs. King was selected
Is a highly important one and that persons whose

The moral OF the story is that when experts are
