New Effort 10 Continue
Day Care Centers Here
Slated After ParIey

Efforts will be made to continue
the Districts day-care centers for
the children of working mothers,
following a conference yesterday
on Capitol Hill.
Gerhard P. Van Arkel, counsel
of the Senate District Committee,
conferred at length with District
Budget officer Walter L. Fowler on
the problem. Mr.. Fowler, it was
learned, talked to one of the Dis
trict Commissioners on the tele-
phone during the conference.
Practical Solution Sought.
Mr.. Van Arkel announced af-
terwards that "the commissioners
indicated their desire to find a
practical and, if necessary, new
solution to this problem, in order
that working mothers of the Dis
trict may not be deprived of
proper care for their children.
1T is hoped" he said, that the
cooperation of various commu-
nifty groups can be mobilized to
assist in such program"
The Commissioners, Mr.. Van
Arkel said. "are considering the
appointment of a committee to
work out a solution on behalf of
the District government"
Chairman Nicely of the District
Committee, was said to look with
favor on continuation of the GEN.
ters. Cd If a feasible and prac-
tical way can be worked out to
handle them"
Board Not Interested.
Following the policy they have
followed for several years, the
commissioners previously informed
the District Committee that the
Board of Public Welfare does not
want to continue operating the
centers. Welfare officials have
said repeatedly that funds are
needed more for other purposes.
The centers now are operating
on $4,000 appropriated by Con-
gress. This money runs out on
June 30.

that, in the light of Navy expert
ence, "the B-36 program seems
unquestionably ill-advised."'
He added that "it is impossible
to reconcile the publicity in favor
of the B-36 with the reluctance
to engage in joint comparative
tests with the Navy" Such tests
with the Navy's Banshee jet fight
ers would result in cancellation
of any further B-36 production. :"
he continued.
The committee later gave the
B-36 a clean bill of health.
