Officials SHORTAGE
Of Funds in Opposing
Day Care Centers

Shortage of District funds fol-
many needs was cited today by
officials opposing continuation on a
permanent basis of child day care
centers here.
The Miller Subcommittee Of the
House District Committee took ex-
tensive testimony on the Klein bill
to make the center program per-
manent. but deferred final action.
Chairman Miller said it was likely
the subcommittee would make q
favorable report on the bill, but
that continuation might be limited
to one year.
Sex Offender Bill Delayed.
The subcommittee also deferred
favorable action on bill to provide
stronger controls over sex offenders
pending completion OF the draft OF
revised bill.
Commissioner Guy Mason, oppos-
ing the Klein bill, said it was recog-
nized that the six day care centers
were filling a need, but that District
finances were facing so many un-
filled demands "the butter is too
thin to spread the bread"
Raymond F. Clapp, acting direc-
tor of the Board of Public Welfare
took a similar position. He said ii
was a question of priority of needs
and that there were other and long,
er established needs in the welfare
field for which adequate funds are
lacking.
Strong support for continuation
of the centers was registered by
Representatives Klein of New York
Deane of North Carolina ano
Smith of Virginia, all Democrats
Chairman Miller, Republican, OF
Nebraska said the program was
fine If the District could afford it.
Committee members brought out
that the rule limiting admissions
to the centers to children of parents
whose annual income is less than
$4,000 year had served to increase
the relative amount of District costs
for the program. Before the limit
was invoked, witnesses said, a larger
percentage of the outlay was re-
gained from fees paid by the par
ents.

I.C.C. Will Control Freight Rates If
 Statehood Comes

WASHINGTON, (P) - The in- terstate commerce commission may take over the regulation of most shipping ates between mainland United States and Ha- waii and Alaska is the Territories become States.
 At present, the maritime com mission controls sea commerce be- tween the United States and the two Territories.
 But the interstate commerce act delegates to the interstate com merce commission the duty of reg ulating the rates charged by water carriers, with certain exceptions, operating between a point in a state and a point in any other state"
 Therefore, officials of both the maritime commission and the in terstate commerce commission told a reporter today that unless Congress amends the interstate commerce act simultaneously with the admission of Hawaii or Alas ka as a state the interstate com merce commission probably would assume jurisdiction automatically over the bulk of shipping between the mainland and the new off shore state.
 An official of the ICC division of water carriers said Congress granted the ICC authority over in terstate water transportation on the mainland on the theory that shipping rates are competitive with rates of railroads and trucks serving the same points on over land routes.
 The civil aeronautics board now regulates air transportation be- tween the United States and the Territories, as well as interstate air routes. Government officials expressed belief that admission of the Territories as States would make no change in air transpor- tation regulation.
