Adoption OF German
Brown Babies
Hit Snag

WASHINGTON, April 12.-(A
NP)-The European brown babies
are in the news again. This time
the report comes from Heidelberg
Germany that the 1874 illegitimate
children of American Negro faith
ers and German mothers a find
sanctuary in America only if they
are sent to an orphanage for the
lack of legal machinery prohibits
American families from adopting
them.
1t. Col. Marcus Ray, adviser to
Gen. Lucius d. Clay, on Negro
affairs is alleged to have stated
that he had no power to turn these
children over to American-would-
be foster parents, and that Gen.
Clay was the only one who could
decide this problem.
1t has further been reported
that only about one-fourth of the
mothers of children with Negro
fathers are willing to keep their
babies. Some are said to be will
ling to get rid of their dark
skinned babies, while others claim
to have made no definite decision.
These 1874 babies born of Amer
lean Negro fathers in the U. S.
Army stationed at Heidelberg
and Mannheim are only a small
percentage of the 5000 illegiti-
mate children said to have been
born in that area of European
mothers and American fathers.

Lunch Program Serves
Record Number Of
Children Is Report

WASHINGTON, April H. "a
NP)-That. a record number of
Negro and white youngsters are
participating in the National
School Lunch program this year
is indicated by a survey report re-
leased last week by the Produc-
ton and Marketing administration
of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
The survey, which covers No
vember of last year, shows that
lunches were served that month to
100000 children and in $4,000
schools in continental U. S., Alas
ka, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands. The number of
children served represented an in
crease of 15.9 percent over No
vember of 1947.
Twelve states and the District
of Columbia showed increases of
20 percent or more. Largest
gains were made by Louisiana,
Idaho, New Hampshire, North
Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virgin
ia and the District of Columbia.
Participation in Louisiana was al
most double that of the previous
year.
At the present rate of partici-
patton, it is estimated that more
than a billion meals will be served
during the current school year at
a cost of 5000, 100000. Last
year, 972 million meals were serv-
ed at a cost of $175,O 600, 900.
The Congressional appropriation
for this years program is $751;
100000. Most of this sum is ap-
portioned directly to the States
to be used as cash assistance to
participating schools.
With that part of the appropri-
alton not allocated to the States,
the Department of Agriculture
purchases commodities for distri-
button to the schools. Also, in
connection with surplus removal
operations, it buys food for school
lunches.
In order to receive assistance
schools must meet meal-type re-
quirements, and use the maximum
foods determined by the depart
ment to be in abundant supply.
The state departments of educa-
ton administer the program in
the various states.

Ruling May Mean Rise
In Dormitory Rents
AT Mclean Gardens

Proposed rent increases for L.
173 dormitory tenants of Mclean
Gardens are due for restudy by
the District rent administrator on
the basis of new ruling by the
Municipal Court of Appeals.
The three-man court yesterday
decided that peculiar circum-
stances" existed at the time pres
emit dormitory rents were set at
the Wisconsin avenue develop
ment and it ordered the admin
istrator to decide whether. as a
result, the present ceilings are
lower than those generally pre-
vailing in comparable housing.
A rent examiner last October
dismissed a rent-raise petition
from the developments present
owner, the Fairmac Corp. on the
ground that no such peculiar cir
cumstances existed.
Sought S. Increases.
Originally filed in March. 1948,
the Fairmac petition sought SIS
monthly increases on all the de-
velopments dormitory rooms,
which would raise the monthly
rent from $34.5O to $3.50. The
Developments rents originally
were set when the Defense Homes
Corp, a Government agency,
opened it for war workers.
The Municipal Court of Appeals
hears appeals against rent ad-
