Receiving Home Held
Critical Spot in D. {.
Emergency Child Care

The Children's Receiving Home
on Little Falls road is the critical
spot in emergency child care in the
District, the Board of Public We'll
fare was told at special meeting
yesterday in the Municipal Center.
DR.. William Stavsky, superintend-
ent of the home, informed the board
his daily charges numbered about
100, although he is equipped to
handle only about IS a day.
After his testimony, the board
ordered Ray L. Huff, director of the
Welfare Department, to obtain ad-
ditional employees and to draft legis-
lation for presentation to Congress
that would allow for an addition to
the neY Receiving Home, now being
built on Mount Olivet road NE,
just north of Gallaudet College.
Criticized by Miller.
Meanwhile, the Receiving Home
was the subject of sharp criticism
by Representative Miller, Republic
can, of Nebraska, who said physical
conditions there are "a sorry mess. "
DR.. Miller, a physician, said he
would urge members of the Appro-
priations Committee to grant funds
for more help at the home. He Is
chairman of the Health, Welfare
and Education subcommittee of the
House District Committee.
The Welfare Board approved the
hiring of II additional employees,
including two more drivers for the
vehicles used at the institution. The
payment for their services will be
taken from other institutions, so the
department can stay within its
appropriation.
Subsidy" Proposed.
Mrs. Robin Miller told the board
the situation might be relieved to
some extent if it would allow Sub
sidized" homes a fiat fee of $40 &
month for every available bed, in
addition to the usual $45 month
allowed for the care and sheltering
of children. The subsidized" homes
are homes that agree to take In
children sent by the Welfare Board
at any time of the day or night.
Another plan suggested is to re-
fuse to take children under the
protective care of the board when
the number of children in the Re-
ceiving Home reaches the maxi
mum that can be cared for properly
The home must accept children sent
to the home by the Juvenile Court
and the police, so the children who
would suffer under this plan would
be the nondelinquent children, it
was pointed out, however.
The number of delinquent chill
dren in the home averages about
81 a day, DR.. Stavsky told the board
and the new home being erected
on Mount Olivet road will acconmo-
date only 43. 1t is planned tc
place the delinquent children in this
new home so that they will be avail
able to the police or the Juvenile
Court on short notice. The boarc
asked Mr.. Huff to seek an approori-
alton that would enable the Dis.
trict to build additional space there
to accommodate at least So chill.

Judd BIames' Red Cell
In State Department
For Failure in China
By the Associated Press

Representative Judd, Republican,
of Minnesota said yesterday that a
red cell' in the State Department
doomed Secretary of State Mar
shall's 1916 mission to China before
Gen. Marshall set out. He added
that it successfully blocked the late
President Roosevelt's policy of sup
porting the Chinese central govern
ment.
Never was a soldier sent out on
such an impossible mission as Gen
Marshall undertook, tricked by peo-
pie who are home" Mr.. Judd told
the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee.
He told reporters later that by
chose who are at home" he meant
"a red cell in the State Department.
Policy Statement Cited.
In an impassioned plea for imme-
date military and economic help
for China, Mr.. Judd told the COM
mittee the "red cells trick was
engineered in so wording a state
ment by President Truman on
United States policy toward China
that Gen. Marshall's mission was
defeated at the outset.
The Minnesota laWmaker, an ex-
medical missionary to China, showed
reporters copy of the Presidents
statement, issued on December Is
1945, just before Gen. Marshall LETT
for China, in which Mr.. Judd hao
underlined Mr.. Truman's words
that:
"As China moves to peace and
unity, the United States Govern
ment would be prepared to assist
the (Chinese) National government
in every reasonable way"
Changes Made by Marshall.
Mr.. Judd told neWsmen:
Those were Gen. Marshall's in.
structions that the United States
would help Gen. Chang Kai-shek':
government only if Chang Kai-shek
was able to restore peace and unity
That was the tip-of to the Commu.
nists that all they had to do to pre-.
vent the Chinese government from
receiving American aid was to upset
peace and unity"
Asked by newsmen if he thinks
Gen. Marshall has wiped out the
State Departments "red cell" since
becoming Secretary of State, Mr.
Judd said:
Marshall has made some changes
Beyond that, I have no comment
He said, however, that the "red
cell' got rid of State Department
officials who carried on President
Roosevelt's policy Of supporting the
China central government.

To Save Constellation

Friends of the historic frigate
Constellation, which is menaced by
the scrap heap, are sending contri-
buttons to the Navy for preservation
Of the warship.
But Navy officials asked the public
today to hold off until the depart
ment can legally accept such con-
tributions. Legislation has been pre-
pared for Congress which would
permit the Navy to receive and use
donations for preserving the ship, as
was done for the other famous
frigate, the Constitution.
The Constellation. built at Balti-
more in 1897, is tied up at the Boston

Buying on Credit
'30%AbovePeak
Set Here in 1941
Bureau Head Cites
Greater Population,
Veterans Purchases

The credit business in Washington
is booming.
John K. Althaus, manager of the
Credit Bureau, Inc, said today Oc-
tober was the largest month the
organization ever had in its Is
years of existence. This topped the
previous high, reached in December
1941, by about 80 per cent, he ex-
planned.
Mr.. Althaus made it clear this is
not the result entirely of installment
buying. He pointed out there are
more people in washington, that
new homes are being established by
veterans and there are more people
buying.
The stores here generally require
only 20 per cent down payment
now, he said. Up to November l
Government regulations required
one third, except on jewelry and
watches.
"The volume of buying is pushing
ahead, and some Christmas pur-
chases already have been made" he
declared. Then, there is more mer-
chandise to choose from this year.
Mr.. Althaus said his organization
now has $50 persons employed In
preparing credit reports.
The wholesale side of the picture
was given by John H. Geiger, sec
retary-manager of the Washington
Association of Credit Men, Inc.
which includes jobbers, distributors
wholesalers and other groups.
"a number of our members are
hopeful and think it is to the best
interests of all concerned to cope
with inf1ationary trends by keeping
installment purchases on some
what restricted basis" Mr.. Geiger
said.
Because money is not as readily
available as it was during the war
years, it is now necessary to keep
closer supervision over credit, he
asserted.

WE, THE WOMEN
What's Wrong With Provided Marriage

provided WHAT" asked the
startled justice of the peace. "Pro,
vided it works" said the bride
groom matter-of-factly.
Plenty of young people today
go in for ''provided' marriages
The only reason this INT was news
was because the COCOON put the
reservation into words.
That reservation is pretty shock
ing. We like the sound Of It'll
death us do part better.
But the fact that one marriage
out of four today is ending in di-
vorce is proof that in their own
minds a lot OF couples have sub
stituted provided" for the beau
tiful, digniiied till death" promise,
And no marriage that starts with
a ''provided'' clause has the
slightest chance of lasting through
the years. Marriage just isn't
that perfect, that ideal a part
nership.
In any marriage there r bound
TO be times when either the hus-
band or wife both are dis
illusioned about their union. There
are sure to be times when the
marriage doesn't seem to be work
ing as well as it should.

If you have a pet grape vine
Or two, guard them carefully
against the climbing cutworm.
The climbing cutworm works at
night, hiding just below the sur-
face OF the soil during the day.
1t attacks the leaves of older
plants, fruit trees and grape vines.
The insect comes from the ground
each spring in a wingless condi-
ton. The adult moth is of medium
size with wings that spread from
an inch to an inch and a half.
To guard against the pest, place
a band Of flypaper one-half to one
inch wide on the main trunk of
stem of the grape vine, as il
Illustrated in the accompanying
Garden-Graph. Also band the posts
which support the trellis wires, as

Grape vines can be pltnted in
early spring as soon as the frost
is out of the ground. First rule
in planting grape vines is to dig
the hole large enough to admit
the roots without curling them.
After placing the grape vines
in the holes, firm the soil well
over the roots. AS a rule it is
well to plant grape vines about
two inches deeper than they grew
