Hechts Give $4,000
Toward New Wing
Al Children S HOSPITAL

Children's Hospital has received
$25 900 from Alexander Hecht, presi-
dent of the Hecht Co., and Mrs.
Hecht. toward the cost of the new
hospital wing now under construc-
ton.
Mr.. Hecht yesterday presented a
check for the amount to Charles D.
Drayton, president of the hospital,
at Mr.. Hecht's Office.
Receiving the check with great
appreciation, Mr.. Drayton an
nounced it will be used to pay for
construction of an entire floor in
the new wing. The foundation now
is being laid for the new annex, and
it is expected the extra facilities
will be ready for occupancy by
spring. The wing will cost SITS, 900.
The addition will add much-needed
capacity to the already overcrowded
hospital. Forty-four more beds for
patients and laboratory and X-ray
facilities will be housed in the new
building. This will relieve pressure
on the present hospital, which has
carried an unusual load this past
summer on account of the outbreak
OF poliomyelitis. Two hundred and
six infantile paralysis patients have
been cared for at the hospital, ac-
cording to Miss Matte Gibson,
superintendent. The peak load of
polio patients was lot, but this has
now been reduced to II.
The hospital has capacity of 210
beds, but at the peak load it took
care of 246 children.

Upton Close 10 Take
NBC Custer Before
Congress Groups
BY the Associated Press.

by lne Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Nov 25.-Radio
Commentator Upton Close says the
action of the National Broadcasting
Co. in barring him from it's net
work raises the question of Who,
after all. is the censor over radio, y
and that he will place his case before
the Senate and House Committee on
Interstate Commerce.
Mr. Close said he had received
"a telegram from E. K Jett, acting
chairman of the Federal Communi-
cations Commission, stating that
determination of what commenta-
tors should be used on network
programs is made by networks or
by sponsors, subject to network ap-
proval."
The commentator said a con-
fusion exists as to what is meant
by sponsors subject to network
approval" and that Mr.. Jett seems
to leave no room for the protection
of the public interest in case of an
arbitrary decision by network
official"
obviously, the entire matter must
be clarified said Mr.. Close. Other
wise we have what amounts to
censorship, and in addition, con-
fused censorship, and it is subject
to pressure from many sources"
Niles Trammell, president of NBC,
announced last week that the net
works decision to quit selling time
for broadcasts by Mr.. Close was
in line with a policy that "selec-
ton of commentators rests with
MIC"

Youths Holding Jobs
One Of Big Concerns
|0f Children 5 Bureau

The problems of boys and girls
who have left school for wartime jobs
is among the major concerns of the
Children's Bureau. according to Miss
Katharine Lenroot, bureau chief.
Holding a press conference yester-
day on her 10th anniversary as bu-
reau head, Miss Lenroot outlined
future objectives which included ex-
tension of childrens services to "all
children" of the Nation, with special
emphasis on educational opportuni-
ties and health programs.
100000 In Jobs.
Pointing out that wartime employ
ment of young workers has sur
passed records of the past 20 years,
Miss Lenroot released statistics esti-
mating that nearly 5000, 900 boys
and girls from IA through 18 years
of age were working full or part time
in April, 1914 This is about three
times the number at work when
the census was taken in March, 1910.
Declaring that many of these
youths should return to school, Miss
Lenroot said the Children's Bureau
is working with other agencies on
such matters as how to give them
educational and vocational counsel
ing and how to meet their future
employment problems.
Legislation which would establish
a 16-year minimum-age standard for
employment of children also is being
suggested to State legislatures, Miss
Lenroot said. The effective date of
such legislation might be postponed
until the end Of the war, If it seemed
desirable, she added.
Mortality Rate Cut.
Only Is States have adopted child
labor laws that meet or approximate
the recommended 16-year-old mini
mum, she said.
On the side of accomplishments,
Miss Lenroot reported that since
Social Security funds have been
available for maternal and child
health services, the maternal NOR
tality rate in this country has been
cut in half. In the same period,
she said, the infant mortality rate
was reduced third.

They will be added to the frozen

These products were brought un-
