Early Maternity Case
Releases Decried
by DR.. Eliot
ChiIdren's Bureau Aide
Sees Post-Notoi HosteIs
As Possible Solution

The discharge of mothers from
hospitals one or two days after
delivery of their babies is becoming
"an too common" DR.. Martha
Eliot. associate chief of the Chill
dren's Bureau Of the Labor Depart
ment, said at a press conference
yesterday.
Soldiers at the 'front.'" said DR..
Eliot, cannot have a very cheer
full frame of mind when they real
ize that their wives are bringing
children into the world without
doctors or without nurses at home.
And today, even though the moth
er goes to hospital, the over
crowding is forcing her out much
too soon"
DR.. Eliot spoke on one of the four
main problems confronting the
Children's Bureau at a press con-
terence called by Miss Katharine
Lenroot, chief.
Hostel System Proposed.
A solution to the shortage of hos
pital space for maternity cases
would be the conversion of large
homes into "post-natal hostels"
where nursing care could be given
by nurses aides, DR.. Eliot said.
These hostels have been developed
to a large degree in England.
In Washington, for example,"
said DR.. Eliot, there are many large
empty houses that could, with slight
renovations, be used as convalescent
maternity homes. This is true in
almost every war center"
The problem of all maternity
Evening star., 1942-12-11

cases is urgent" said DR.. Eliot, but
that Of the wives Of servicemen is
intensified by the fact that when
the wives live away from home near
the husbands Army post, they are
legally not entitled to any commu-
nifty services that exist.
The fact that this weighs heavily
on the minds of soldiers is shown
by the fact that in a recent month
in $50 Army posts throughout the
Nation, 2,700 requests came from
soldiers for care for their wives, DR..
Eliot stated. There are no funds
available at the Children's Bureau
for a solution to the maternity prob
lem, although a bill providing them
has been pending before Congress
for some time.
Care for children of working
mothers, pre-school and school age,
child labor and juvenile delin-
quency are the other three main
problems confronting child care
agencies. said Miss Lenroot. The
first, the care of children of work.
ing mothers, is getting the great
est emphasis throughout the coun-
try" she said.
Delinquency Noted.
At present, however, there is only
the Lanham Act appropriation to
be used for nursery schools, and the
remnants of the WPA child care
and protection program until June
80, when that expires.
The problem of juvenile delin-
quency, which has increased in in
tensity during the war, is closely
connected with lack of adequate
provision for after-school programs
Evening star., 1942-12-11

In tho States, Miss Lenroot said.
Some 80 States have OCD child-care
committees considering this problem
together with that of the pre-
school child. No over-all Federal
plan for either age group has been
submitted.
Concerning child labor, Miss Len
root and Miss Beatrice Mcconnell
Of the Industrial Division of the
bureau pointed out the increasing
use of girls of IL and 13 as ''pinboys"
in bowling alleys and other amuse-
ment industries. Miss Mcconnell
also prophesied that in 1943 more
and more children of 16 and 18 will
be used to meet the farm labor
shortage. City children will have
to be recruited, she said.

LANSING, Aug. IA - Ho -
having successfully conducted a

munities can expect surprise
blackout next, Capt. Don 8.
Leonard, state commander of the
Citizens Defense Corps, assert
ed today.
with 1873 local and district
blackouts and Wednesdays reg
ional practice under out belt, we
have proved that we can get the
lights out" Leonard said. Now
the emphasis should be on i'm
proving the speed of blackouts
and in training defense corps.
st he blackouts themselves
prove that Michigan citizens
are willing and able to cooper
ate in air raid precautions, but
we are not going to let them con-
tinue to the point where they
become a public nuisance" he
declared.
Occasional blackouts will be
allowed to keep the public in
practice and local communities
may expect at any time to re-
ceive word from the capitol to
black out on an hours notice."
he added.
No immediate plans for sur
prise blackouts covering the
whole southern Michigan area
are entertained, Leonard prom
ised.
The defense corps commander
and Lieut.. Col. Owen j. Cleary,
state chief air raid warden, de-
clared they wished local defense
corps to increase the emphasis
on incident" drills.
Leonard recommended that
local commanders stage mock
incidents affecting each service
corps, such as air raid wardens,
medical groups, fire
watchers, road repair and public
utility sections. Then, he said,
incidents which call all of those
groups into simultaneous action
can be planned.

LONDON, Aug. Ia - R -
Nazi broadcasts repeated Cay
threats of death as reprisal
against Dutch hostages unless
railway saboteurs in the occu-
pied Netherlands surrendered
by midnight tonight and fear
was expressed by Netherlands
government sources here that a
terrible slaughter" was i'm
pending.
The Germans were said to
hold 1900 hostages.
Even as the deadline drew
near there were new reports Of
continued sabotage. The Ger
mans announced that four per-
sons were arrested in an at
tempt to blow up a Nazi con-
trolled radio station.
A Reuters dispatc h from
Stockholm said Gen. Friedrich
Christensen, Maxi commander
in the Netherlands, declared that
explosives found on those ar

He was quoted as threatening
reprisal against Dutch hostages
throughout the district.

wrecked a Netherlands train

An undisclosed number of

Near Moscow
Creote Crisis
BY the Associated Press

Marshal Semeon Timoshenko's
Red armies were reported to
have crushed the first great Nazi
onslaught toward Stalingrad to-
day, counter-attacking to drive
back the Germans after they had
broken through and reached the
Don below Kletskaya, rs miles
northwest of the big Volga steel
city.
Soviet dispatches said the
Germans opened a short-lived
breach by sending huge num-
bers of tanks into a narrow Sec
tor.
The uncontrolled Paris
radio asserted that part of Stall
ingrad was in flames under in
tensive Nazi aerial attack.
In the Caucasus, the Russians
acknowledged that German fly
ing columns driving down the
Rostov-Baku railway toward the
Caspian sea had advanced with
in 14O miles of the Gronzny oil
fields after a 50-mile thrust in
"a hours.
NEAR MT. ELBORUS
The invaders were now leav-
ing the flat plains on the north
crn side otthG towering Caucas-
us range, a terrain ideally suit
ed for tanl :, and had come
within sight of snow-capped Mt.
Chorus rising ID, 465 feet above
the steppes.
A bulletin from Adolf Hitler's
field headquarters, emphasizing
the new phase Of the fighting,
declared:
'The enemy, exploiting noun
famous terrain which is parti-
cularly favorable for defense, is
still putting up resistance in or
der to cover his retreat on the
sea route from the north Caucas-
us ports"
German headquarters also
acknowledged that the Russians
were attacking heavily at Vor-
onezh, in two key sectors on the
central (Moscow) front and two
sectors on the northern (Len-
ingrad) front.
Besides Voronezh, the Red
army's counter blows struck at
WANNA, about midway on the
old Napoleonic highway from
Moscow to Smolensk, and at the
German strongpoint of Rzhev,
100 miles northwest of Moscow.
FIERCE ACTION
In addition, the Germans cit
ed fierce" Soviet attacks below
Leningrad in the Volkhov and
Lake linen sectors, where the
Russians declared they had kill
ed 5000 Nazis in two days of
fighting and captured a point
held by the invaders for more
than a year. Soviet dispatches
said the Germans counter-at-
tackled II times in a futile at
tempt to recapture the point, on
the shore of Lake linen.
The Russians said they were
also lacking in the Bryansk
sector, 200 miles southwest of
Moscow, and reported their
infantry had forced the
Germans to retreat under a
