authorities. The midwife is also
entitled to specified promotions,
80 days of annual leave, and med
ical care in illness. The county
or independent city provides her
with a furnished apartment,
telephone, and her midwifery
equipment.
Government aid has also been
available under DEGREES of 1887
and 1943 for setting up, equip
ping, and maintaining free mater
nifty hospitals and maternity de-
partments of general hospitals.
Maternity Benefits
The Government pays a mater
nifty benefit to women belonging
to sickness insurance organiza-
tions, in addition to the benefit
paid by the organization. A wo-
man who is not insured receives
the same Government aid, but
only if her income is below a spe-
Gifted amount. The benefits are
paid through the local insurance
organization, which is required by
a law of 1887 to provide advice
and information on care during
pregnancy, confinement, and the
newborn child.
If additional financial aid is
needed by woman at the time of
childbirth or within months af-
terward she may apply for it, and
may be granted either loan
without interest, or a gift. Some
times cash is given, but more Of
ten orders for clothing or other
necessities are ISSUED or rent is
paid. The decision as to the
amount of aid is made on the
merits of each case. Mothers
aid councils" have been establish
ed to take part in the administra-
ton of this law. Social workers
in public service make sure that
the aid is used properly and that
the mother brings the child regu-
larly to the child-health center.
Child Health Centers
Child-health centers for babies
and little children are maintained
with Government aid by counties
and independent cities. The con-
ditions for the aid, prescribed in
1914 are: The centers must give
their services free of charge. They
must be situated in suitable quar-
tiers, preferably in children's
hospital or the pediatric depart
ment of general hospital, and
must be directed by physician,
who is assisted by nurses. A chill
health center may be combined
with a prenatal clinic, in which
case the work for children must
be done separately.
In Stockholm and a few other
cities the centers are open to chill
dren up to the age of years;
elsewhere the age limit is lower.
In rural localities similar work
is done by "child-care stations
or maternal and child-care sta
TONS or branches of such sta
tions.
Both for work in cities and in
rural districts the counties and
independent cities receive Gov
eminent aid after a plan for the
proposed work has been presented
to designated authorities and ap-
proved by them. The Government
contributes up to half the cost of
installing and equipping the child
health centers; and part of the
physicians and the nurses salar-
les. 1t also pays part of the trav-
cling expenses of physicians and
nurses and of mothers who bring
children from a distance.

Sweden Works For Maternal
And Child Health
ANNA KALET SMITH,
Office of the Chief, L. S. Children's Bureau

Europe's critical situation in re-
cent years has not interfered
with social progress in Sweden,
particularly in the field of ma
ternal and child health. A glance
at the developments in that coun-
try during the last 10 years shows
a consistent Government policy of
financial aid to health services,
with consequent Improvement of
standards and expansion of work.
With this aid Sweden has built up
an impressive health system, of
prenatal care and childbirth at
tendance, m mi ty benefits,
child-health clinics, medical SUI
pervision over school children'S
health, mental-health and guild
ance services, and dental care for
children and adults.
Prenatal Care
Prenatal care is given free at
clinics, where women are not only
examined during pregnancy but
are also treated for any compli-
cations not requiring hospital
care. Grants for this purpose
were made by the Government to
some counties as an experiment
in 1881. With evidence of public
appreciation of this service, the
aid was extended to all counties
and to independent cities and was
made permanent in 1887. Under
the regulations of 1914 this aid
covers % up to half the cost of
setting up and equipping the elm
les; (2) part of the salaries of
physicians, midwives and nurses;
90 from so to 20 per cent of spe
Gifted travel expenses of physi-
clans, nurses, and midwives, and
also, in some circumstances, of
patients. After plans for the work
have been approved by the public
health authorities, aid is given on
condition that the services are
free to any woman, regardless of
income, that every prenatal clinic
is directed by physician-obstet-
rician, gynecologist, or general
practitioner - assisted by mid
wives or nurses.
Attendance at Childbirth
Attendance at childbirth in the
home by trained midwives has
been available without charge
since 1887 and is now regulated
by a decree issued in 1913. Each
county and independent city with
some exceptions. constitutes a
midwifery district" under the
control of a board of midwifery
and with a prescribed number of
fulltime midwives. These mid
wives work under the immed ate
supervision of h e local medical
officer.
The midwiyes are required to
attend women at childbirth in
the home, also during pregnancy
and in the postnatal period, un-
der conditions set by law. No
charge may be made by a mid
wife to the patient, regardless of
the latter'S economic status, but
if the patient lives beyond a spe-
Gifted distance she must provide
the midwife's transportation. On
conditions prescribed by the local
board of midwifery the district
midwives may also serve in public
maternity hospitals and prenatal
clinics, or in private ones that are
subsidized by the Government.
The salaries of the district mid
wives are paid by the Govern
ment; but whenever a midwife
serves more than months of a
calendar year in a Government
subsidized maternity hospital the
Government pays half her salary,
end the rest is paid by the local

THE AUTHORIZATION
LEAGUE OF B'NAI BIRTH

The Authorization League of
B'nai Birth brought new and
tested approaches and a reorgan-
lied internal structure to the fight
for better human relations during
the year under review.
Governed by it's national COM
mission of community leaders and
stated by more than $50 special
lists, ADJ operated through its
new framework of four major di-
Observation-Disclosures, Legal and
Fact-Finding, Program, and Com
munity Service.
The Leagues multi-departmental
activities were thus coordinated to
deal with religious and racial ten
sions which developed as an after
math of the war. From this solid
footing, the ADDS projects were
planned to reach the widest pos
sible audience.
In December, 1916, Supreme
Court Justice Meier Steinbrink of
New York was elected to the nat
iOnal craftsmanship of the League.

Recognizing that in the interest
of American Jewry's security, as
well as for humanitarian reasons
Jewish life must be nOrmalized
abroad, the AJC expanded its
overseas operations during the
wear to aid the reconstruction OF
Jewish communities in War-tOrn
Europe. Help in planning educa-

methods to combat anti-Semitism
and to secure equal rights has
been furnished, derived from AJC
techniques and materials which
have proved successful in curbing
group friction in the United States.
During the year the AJC waged
a successful campaign to include
human rights guarantees in the
peace treaties with former Axis
satellite countries. In concert with
other Jewish organizations, it is
now pressing for similar measures
in the German and Austrian treat
les.
To coordinate Jewish activities
in behalf of human rights and
fundamental freedoms, the AJC,
together with the Anglo-Jewish
Association of Great Britain and
the Alliance Israelite Universelle
of France, formed, the Consultative
Council of Jewish Organizations.
The CCJO was one of the two

The problem of religion in the
public schools, anti-discrimination
legislation, intensive measures to
ensure equality of opportunity in

Objectionable matter in denomina-

concerns during the year. The
AJC also cooperated with the
Advertising Council in it's national
unity campaign.
Hand in hand with the AJC de-
Tense of civil and religious rights
of Jews, wherever threatened,
went an intensive program of ed
ucation to acquaint Americans
with the plight of displaced per-
sons and with the need to liberal
ize American immigration policy.
The Committee also pressed for
international action to facilitate
Jewish immigration from Europe
to other countries.
It's vital concern with the prob

FILM "p0RTPAIT
 OF MARIA" K AT
 CAPITOL TONIGHT

The Portrait of Maria opens tonight at the Capitol starring Dolores del Rio as a girl who meets tragedy when she flaunts the con- ventions of her society.
 It is the story of Maria and Lorenzo, two Mexican peons who fight for the light to survive and the right to love against over whelming odds. It is also the story of an aborigine race, its prejudices and superstitions and the ancestral stoicism with which the Mexican Indian of another day endured the last of custom and tradition.
 Miss Dolores is cast as Maria, despised by her fellowmen because of a disreputable mother; the we'll known Latin actor, Pedro Armen- dariz played Lorenzo, the man who loves her But their marriage is circumvented by the influential Don Damian whom Maria has turned down and who now pre- vents Maria and Lorenzo from making livelihood by selling flowers and vegetables.
 Then Maria is struck by malaria and, when Don Damian refuses to give Lorenzo the quinine that will save her life, he Is forced to steal it and is sent to prison. In de- spair, Maria turns to her only friends, painter who mercedes for Lorenzo In return for his kindness, Maria models for the painter, but when gossip to the effect that the girl has posed in the nude permeates the town, all the ugliness and hatred of its pre- iudiceS and age-old superstition makes itself manifest and Maria is hunted down like an animal.

Mize, Lake, Stanky Show Former Bosses in Game
 Tuesday They Can Hit
By JOE RaICHLER

Associated Press Sports Writer)
 Castoffs Johnny Mize, Eddie Lake and Ed Stanky were licking their chops today following vengeance victories" over their former bosses.
 Mize, traded by the St. Louis Cardinals to the New York Giants in l942, homered with two aboard in the third at the Polo Grounds yesterday to start the Giants to a 7-2 victory over his former mates. The Slugging first baseman has made only eight hits this season, but seven of them have been home runs.
 Young Monte Kennedy went the route for the Giants, who vacated the National League cellar in fa- vor of the world champion Red- skins. The Cards now have lost six straight, their longest losing streak in seven years.
 Double Steal
 Eddie Lake, the pint-sized De- troit shortstop who was obtained from the Boston Red Sox following the '45 season, banged three hits, including triple, and scored three runs to help the Tigers defeat his former mates 8-3. Lake slid home on double steal and also scored all the way from second on a caught foul fly.
 Stanky Aids Dodgers
 Stanky the firebrand Dodger sec- ond baSeman who was shipped to Brooklyn by the Chicago Cubs in l944, highlighted a seven-run inn ing with tWo-run double to aid the Dodgers in a 10-6 victory over the Bruins at Ebbets Field. Stanky also singled and scored two runs. The victory increased the league leading Dodgers margin to two games over second-place Chicago.
