Curb on Baby Brokers
Fails 10 Solve D. {.
Founding Problem

The "baby broker law passed for
the District last spring after a long
period of agitation has been no
cure-all for the serious problems in
volving adoption of illegitimate
babies, 1t appeared today.
In fact, according to Miss Patricia
Morss, chief of the children's serv-
ices of the Board of Public Welfare
some of the problems now are just
as serious as when the commercial
baby brokers were operating. The
reason, Miss MorSs said, is that So
ctal agencies are not equipped to
provide the temporary care for the
baby, and perhaps the mother, that
is necessary if the mother is to have
time to make up her mind whether
to give up her child.
1t is too early to judge the effect
OF the law, since 1t has been in force
only a little more than a month
However, Miss Morss said, the chill
dren's services have no information
that any baby brokers still are op-
Grating in the District.
Five Acted as Baby Brokers.
II don't believe Washington had
more than five real baby brokers' -
Miss Morss said. They operated
well within the law as it stood, bas-
ing their fees on services. We know
OF one of the five who Withdrew from
business before the passage of the
act. We have no report of any such
operations now. If they are still
operating they are doing so con-
trary to the law"
Application forms for licenses
have been sent to agencies and in
dividuals who might be engaged in
placing children in foster care, but
no application for such a license
has been returned. Most of the
social agencies have administrative
or advisory boards which have to be
consulted before application is made.
Miss Morss said. Several have indi-
Gated they want to meet with a rep
resentative of the Board of Public
Welfare to find out how the regula-
tions apply to their particular
agencies.
In the meantime, the legislation
pushed back on the social agency
the placements of babies in foster
homes formerly made by the COM
mercial operators. 1t the agencies
are to do 1t properly, Miss Morss
said, they must have adequate STATS
and resources.
Miss Morss cited as an example
a girl, unmarried, who has had
baby and is ready to leave the hos
pital.
She may have job in a Govern
ment office Miss Morss said. per
haps she has used all her money in
the birth of the child. She can't
take the baby to room shared with
other girls, because she hasn't the
facilities for the care of the child,
and also that would bring dis
closure of her predicament.
IF an agency is going to deal with
her intelligently. it should be able
to provide a foster family boarding
home for the baby for a short period.
When 1t cannot, and the girl is ap-
preached by some one who wants
to adopt the baby, the mother gives
up the child under the duress of cir
cunstances.
The problem of finding foster
boarding homes for babies is serious.
The Children's Services has the care
of 70 children under years of age.
1t needs at least 40 additional board
ing homes for children. Because 1t
cannot find such homes it has to
refuse the requests of unmarried
mothers to look after their children
until the mother can make up her
mind about keeping her baby or

working out the problem Of caring
for it. The result is the mother
makes an independent placement OF
the child.
Pays $40 a Month.
The Children's Services are au-
thorized to pay $50 a month for a
child's care in a foster home, but
they have to compete with employed
couples who board out their chill
dren, paying $50 or even as much as
$85 month. Private agencies do a
little better than, the Children's
Services, Miss Morss said, paying up
to $40 or $45 a month to foster
homes.
Miss Morss said the Chidren's
Services also are struggling with
what she described as the mad
scramble" for children for adoption.
On November l, with $50 applicants
for babies and with only Is children
known to be available, the Services
cut off applications for two months.

Attorneys for the Great Atlantic

the governments antitrust trial,
designed to disprove charges that
the company operated at a loss to
injure competition.
Testimony of John M. Toolin,

the A. e. p. central division. that
a store could operate at loss for
an indefinite period without an
overall loss was substantiated by
company minutes.
Toolin was recalled by the de-
fense to explain a 3 per cent loss
in stores of his division. He said
the figures meant loss over the
average gross profit of the partic-

investigation. =
Judge Murphy refused TO aV

who assumed office after the bulk
of the alleged offenses occurred,
also was without a copy of the
report.
