Miss Lenroot
Sees Present
Only Beginning

Orderly expansion of maternal and
child health services and services
for crippled children, provided
through Federal and State co-opera-
ton under the Social Security Act,
is needed in spite of the progress
already made, Miss Katherine F.
Lenroot, chief of the Children's Bu-
reau, declared last night in an ad-
dress before Washington members
of the American Association of Uni
versity Women.
Addressing the social studies group
Of the local A. A. U. w. at a dinner
meeting at the clubhouse, Miss Len
root termed the present services for
children and mothers "only a be-
ginning"
Amounts of money allotted for
children are niggardly compared
to amounts allowed in aid to the
old" she declared, and added: I'VE
must unite in an effort to see that
children have minimum opportu-
mites for survival when born, for
health, schooling and other essen
tials of decent living in the United
States"
Miss Lenroot stated that there are
still one-eighth of the Nations
mothers bearing their children with
out medical aid or attention.
If our present knowledge and re-
sources could be fully applied, the
lives of some 10000 mothers and in
fants could be saved each year."
she went on. Deaths and i'll health
among children could be prevented.
by greater health supervision and
early diagnosis and treatment.
About two-thirds of the rural areas
OF the country are not provided
with clinics or health centers."
Asserting that the preservation of
democratic standards and ideals
depends largely upon the care and
assistance given to the young people
OF the Nation, she said: "The dem
ocratic ideal will not survive and
increasingly be realized in human
life If the great majority of the
population does not have access to
opportunity which makes individual
life valuable and personality sig
nificant."
Miss Lenroot was introduced by
Mrs. Charter Heslep, chairman of
the social studies group. Mrs. Rob-
ert Olesen, president of the club
presided at the head table. which
included also Mrs. Richard Hogue.

WITHABUCKEYE
IN CONGRESS
BY Clarence j. Brown,
Member Of Congress, Seventh Ohio
District

As time goes on and operations of
Congress and government generally
are observed the more apparent be-
comes the greatness, the strength,
and the resources Of America. IL
the nation was not strong and great,
and its resources almost unlimited,
IT certainly could not stand the pun
lshment it receives at the hands of
government. Last week the Inde-
pendent Offices Appropriations Bill
was passed by the House after three
days of debate. In spite Of con-
tlnued Republican endeavors, through
presentation Of various amendments
to reduce the amounts appropriated,
the Bill was finally passed carrying
total appropriation of approx
mately two hundred and thirty mil
The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1939-02-17

propriations Bill will have been act
ed-upon BY the House of Representa-
tives, as general debate started on
the. .sBill Monday. The Republican
minority in the House had a special
committee studying the Defense Pro-
gransA Of the Administration, the re-
port Af the committee being made
to th4Republican caucus last Thurs
day eSening. The Republicans gem
orally sAand many other Members Of
Congr& IS, feel that any appropria-
tions Voted should be for defense
purposX only, and that, while the
military establishment must be ade-
quate t& protect American shores
and the Country generally, the citi-
zenship ould not be taxed to build
a great ar machine capable of
waging al offensive war across the
seas. ThN committee expresses it,
sell in faMr of proper desense for
the PanamA Canal and strategic is
lands projecting the continental
United Statdk, but opposed the forti-
aeation Of tA island if Guam. The
committee a&o reported in favor of
moderate decrease over period
of years, in tie number Of planes
for air defenX but opposed the
building Of reat air fleet at a
cost of terrifickhnancial strain with
in the next yesA or so.
#M
Speaking of rAtters military--the
talk about wars md threats of wars
still goes on herdkand every attempt
to get the Presidknt to publicly de-
fine his foreign p&licies has failed.
Many Members on Congress, in both
the House and Se& &ate, are insisting
on having some SOY Of definite
statement from theR President before
proceeding to vote Oh appropriations
for military purposes. Others are
demanding to know from just what
power, or powers, America is fear
ing attack. Fear Of bombing raids
on American cities has been some
what dissipated as a result Of statc-
ments from high aeronautical au-
thofities that it would be impossible
for any bombing raid to be made
today where planes would have to
fly more than eight hundred miles
from their base and return thereto.
That the money spendgrs never
say die is rather well evidenced BY
the attempts being made in this ses-
sion Of Congress to revive4 two FAM
ous New Deal projects tM Florida
Ship Canal and the Passantaquoddy
tide harnessing attempts i'll Maine.
In fact, the committee has already
visited Florida to pass on the matter
of building the great canal. across
the northern part of that state at d
cost of hundreds of millions Of dol
| lars Congress is also being arged
to give further consideration u the
