admitted last night that President

"Thc court situation is unchang-
ed. How the judiciary committee
came to set May Is for vote will
forever remain beyond compre-
hcnSion."
Robinson failed to explain the
reference to May rs, but prcsum-
ably it was prompted by the fact
that under Wednesdays unanim-
Gus consent agreement it is vir-
tually impossible for the commit
tee to vote before that date. More
than two weeks must be spent in
argument although almost all the
members have made up their
minds.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 23-(U.PJ - State officials were asked today to investigate the sterilization of 62 girls, all under i6, ct the State 1n- duStrial school in Beloit.
 The complaint came from Mrs. Kathryn O'Laughlin Mccarthy, c former state representative, who, in conference with Democratic club women in Whichita, urged them to join her protest
 She said she had inspected rec- ords of the institution and found that 02 of the l48 girls had been sterilized and 22 more had been scheduled for tho same treatment when Governor Walter A. Huxmaf1s Democratic administration replaced the Ali M. Landon Republican rc- gifne last year.
 "Parents' pleas did not stop these wholesale sterilizations one bit" Mrs. Mccarthy said. Apparently the operations were performed as punishment rather than for any special good to society. Some of the reasons were utterly ridiculous. one girl was steriliSed because she had c high temper.
 Tt is horrible to think these girls were deprived of motherhood and . chance for . happy married life aild without any apparent reason. But it A for worse to realise that such action eventually iaay drive these

 The Beloit reformatory houses only girls under 16 years of age.
 Beck said that no operation was performed if the girl, her family or her family physician objected. Girls were Sterilized, he said, who were "obstreperous and fighting" or who were "perVerts.'
 The operations were performed in c hospital ct Beioit because the school did not have hospital facil- ities, Beck said, and usually the girl was permitted to 60 home after she recovered from the operation.
