Child Care Plan Heard
 State Continuance
 Of Aid Requested

Hartford, Sept. 18- UP) - The Legislative Council conducted a public hearing today on recom- mendation of the General Assem- bly's Committee on Public Welfare and Humane Institutions to change the 1883 law concerning the care of neglected children.
 The law now provides that the State care for children up to six years of age, and those more than six years old be placed in county care. One proposal was that the State continue to provide for chil- dren after they had reached the age of six, rather than turn them over to the county.
 Juvenile Judge Court Stanley H. Mead, New Canaan, told the Coun- cil that he believed 1t was the States responsibility to care for neglected children" and that the county plan should be dropped.
 Also, he said, there was no pro- vision now to compel the county to permit children to go into foster homes where their chances for de- velopment would be greater.

Clayton an advance look at Wal- lace's scheduled foreign policy speech at Providence, R. |. next Tuesday night.
 Reserves Rights
 But he emphasized that Wallace would reserve the right to say what he wanted to say.
 This, he said, was in line with what Clayton himself said yester- day when he told newsnen that he assumed all speeches by gov- ernment officials on foreign policy would be made available in advance to the State Department. The Providence talk, sponsored by the National Citizens Political Ac- tivities Committee, is tentatively titled ''The People Make Foreign Policy"
 The final draft of the Rhode Island speech has not been cOmplet- ed. The spokesman said copy of it would be shown to the Presi- dent when 1t is finished. Copy for Clayton
 Asked whether Wallace also would make copy of it available to Clayton, the spokesman said:
 T would think he wouldn't have any objection in the world to Mir. Clayton's seeing it."
 Would MT. Wallace reserve the right to say what he wanted to say?" the spokesman was asked.
 "Yes, sir," he replied emphatical- ly.
 In letter published last night without President Truman's ap- proval, Wallace said the Presidents foreign policy poinaed toward uft- mate danger of war. Wallace in- sisted upon 8 more conciliatory policy toward the Soviet Union. MT. Truman and his Secretary of Commerce have 4:3O P. M, (EDT9 appointment at the White House to- day. If the President should now insist that Wallace avoid further public opposition to Administration foreign policy, the Secretary of Commerce might well agree on grounds he has had his say-and loudly.
 Letter Dated July g His war warning was made pulp lie last night in 6 4,000-word letter to MT. Truman. Through a mis- understanding with the White House, Wallace released 1t through the Commerce Department without MT. Truman's okay. The letter was dated July g, 1946. Wallace warned of an atomic armaments race and objected to this years $13,0OO, COG, 900 national de- fense budget. He proposed that Mfr. Truman send a mission to Moscow to foster trade relations and work out loan to Russia on terms simi- lar to those recently granted Great Britain. He said the mission could work out a Russian American plan there for development of Middle East areas where they have joint interests.

ful, sportsmanlike manner, with drew his candidacy following the first ballot when it was obvious that large delegation blocs were swing ing over to the Snow camp.
 On the first ballot the Wesleyan professor received 524 votes to Bowles' 454h; Nuremberg Prosecutor Thomas J. Dodd's 1091z and Water bury Mayor John s. Monagan's 95. Former Mayor of Stamford and ex- Congressman Alfred N. Phillips, nominated by Atty. William T. Keaveney, formerly of Waterbury, received 31.
 City Fares Poorly
 Waterbury fared badly in the final outcome resulting in considerable dissent among returning delegates. Consensus was that someone from this city could have had State post if the planning had been more in line with the course of conven- ton events: Mayor John s. Mona gan might have received the nomi- nation for Attorney General or Mrs. Winifred Mcdonald, State Central committeeWoman, might have been chosen for Secretary of State.
 Most in evidence at the conven- tion was the lack of "bossism" as delegates were permitted to display their position. It was evident prior to the balloting that Snow was the popular man and if the delegates were permitted they would elect him. This was in sharp contrast to the week previous State Republican convention openly dominated as to candidacy selections by Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin.

36,0o0 Meot Shops Closed In Country
 KeStouFote teurS
 Start Locking
 Up in Protest
BY UNITED PRESS

The meat shortage and the price control controversy forced a wide spread shutdown of butcher shops today and threatened to close many of the nations restaurants.
 The National Association of Re- tail Meat Dealers estimated that more than 5000 butcher shops have closed and predicted the shortage would grow progressively worse" Restaurants also began closing, protesting that they could not af- ford to sell meat at OPA ceilings even if meat were abundant. Many other restaurateurs said they may have to close in the next few weeks. Hospitals appealed to the Govern ment and the OPA for emergency supplies of meat for patients whose conditions demand it.
 George R. DreSsler, executive secretary of the Meat Dealers Asso- citation, said survey showed the acute shortage had forced between 60 and 75 percent of the 6O,0O0 mem- Der meat stores to lock their doors. About 50 percent of the meat deal- CTS employees have been laid off, either temporarily or permanently, he said.
 Five Thousand Kosher butcher shops closed in New York, shutting off normal supplies to 2,000, 900 cus- toners. Operators said they could not obtain meat except in the black market.
 The meat picture was clouded still more by reports that there will be shortage of poultry by February. Poultry stores had more poultry than a year ago, but August chick production reached a new low for the year.

New York, Sept. 18-(UP)-Joe Louis was quoted as a 10 to fav- orite today to whip Tami Maurieno in his heavyweight title defense to- night, but there wasn't a place in town where you could get those kind of odds.
 New York's bookmakers, estimated in the thousands, refused to take your money if you wanted to bet on Mauriello. But if you liked Louis well enough to lay 10 to 1 they would take the bet.
 A few were reported to have &C., cepted some Louis money at to 1. but even those bookmakers closed shop today as far as the fight was concerned.
