and welfare services for all cilii-
dren. regardless of race, creeo VI
color are two major proposals
made by the National Commission
on Children in Wartime as part OF
q broad program of action for chill
dren that has been presented 10
president Truman for his consld-
Grafton. the Children's Bureau, De
nartment of Labor, announced TINS
week.
This Commission, which was ap-
pointed in 1912 and reappolnted IN
1q44 bv katharine F. Lenroot CHIEF
of the Children's Bureau, INCLUDES
authorities in the professional
fields concerned with child health,
welfare and education and leaders
of the national organization which
work directly with and for chill
dren. Among the members are Mrs
Mary Mcleod Bethune, National
Council of Negro Women; DR.. PAU
B. Cornely, Howard University
School of Medicine; A. w. Dent,
president, billiard University, DR..
Charles S. Johnson, Fisk Unlver-
sity; and Mrs. Anna M. P. Strong
National Congress OF Colored "a
rents and Teachers.
NEED MORE MONEY
Federal grants to State depart
ments of health should be increas-
ed by $5O,OOO,0O0 for maternal and
child health work; to state
crippled children's agencies, by
100000 for their work with
handicapped children; n d grants
for child-welfare programs of State
welfare departments should also
be stepped up, the Commission
recommended.
In releasing the Commissions
report, M Lenrott "a i d.:
"Our first responsibility in build
ing the peace is toward our chill
dren to whom the future belongs.
Putting health and welfare services
and educational opportunities with
in reach of every single child In
i the United States, regardless Of
race, color, or national origin, is
one of the best ways we can build
the security of the Nation.
1--WE cannot expect to reach this
goal Immediately, but we should
act now to develop wide range of
services so that within 10 years
every mother and child will be
reached with the kind of help each
one needs"
PROTECT YOUTH
Declaring that it is essential to
move forward as rapidly as possible
to attain full educational oppor-
tunity for all children and youth,
the Commission urges Federal sup
port for reduction, based on tie
need for educational opportunities
and facilities throughout the coun-
try, and administered without dis
elimination as to race, color, creed
or national origin.
Further protection OF young work
ers calls for broadening the cover
age of the child-labor provisions
of the Fair Labor Standards Act
and for strengthening the enforce
ment of these provisions.
To assure progress in providing
for the needs of children and youth
the Commission urges all States
and communities to establish con-
tinuing councils or commissions
on children and youth and to work
closely with general planning
agencies for promoting and assist
ing in development of sound
social policies and services.

second impression was that Mr.
