Combination in Cabinet Seen
1t is accepted generally that the
demand for cabinet on a broader
basis will come out into the open
when Parliament convenes. Form
ing a new cabinet would be no
easy task, however. It generally
is believed that combination Ag-
rarian-Social Democratic cabinet
is the most likely possibility for
majority cabinet. Despite sharp
criticism of the cabinet and of Mr..
Kekoknen in particular, the Social
Democrats have limited that they
would be willing to enter into such
a cabinet.
The Social Democrats are not
believed to be willing to enter a
cabinet together with the Com
munists. The latter have been
wooing the Social Democrats to
enter election blocs with them in
communal elections coming up in
the fall. So far, the Social Demo-
cratic. opposition to this has been
unwavering.
The Communists apparently
have less chance of getting into
any new cabinet than any other
party. Neither they nor the Con-
servatives are willing to enter
cabinet in which the other party
is represented. The Social DEM
ocrats refused last March when
President Passikivi expressed a
desire that t h e Communists be
given a portfolio in the cabinet
formed by Mr. Kekkonen. Nor is
the only other major party, the
Agrarians, likely to line up with
the Communists.

We often seek
To reach the peak
OF greatest fame and glory,
But reaching too far,
knowing not where we are,
Our fall will be a sad story.
We often try
To reach the sky,
And have our names there showing,
But on earth a mile,
And a friendly smile,
Are worthy more of knowing.
We often hope
To scale the slope, &.
OF wealth and wide attention,
But soon learn to know,
If selfish we grow,
No one will us ever mention.

Six Day-Care Cenfers
Close Tonight After
Congress Denies Fund

About 800 children. looked after
by the Districts six day-care CEN
tiers from am. to 7 pm. daily,
will be cut off from supervised
care after 7 o'clock tonight when
the centers permanently close
their doors.
Funds for the project, started
in 1943 as a wartime measure for
working mothers, were cut off
by Congress, which refused to take
up the question of operating funds
earlier this week.
For the last two years, Con-
gress had appropriated 100000
a year. with a provision that small
fees be paid by the parents to
help out. This year, Congress set
aside $4,000 for the day-care
center and provided they should
60 out of existence today.
The District Commissioners were
asked to plead the case with Con-
gress, but refused to intervene.
Forty-nine employees of the six
centers will be looking for new jobs
after today. The centers are at

Boy, z, Leads Sisters
To Safety as Flames
Rout I From Home

A 12-year-old boy played a
hero's role today when fire swept
a two-story frame house at 724
Morton street NV.
The flames, which spread rap
idly after an oil stove exploded
in first-f1oor living room, routed
seven persons and forced a g.
year-old grandmother to jump 10
feet from porch roof.
The boy. Mark Ramm. one of
the five children of Mrs. Dorothea
Barnes, went back into the burn
ing house over the porch roof,
brought out his two sisters,
Naomi Ramm. 7, and Regina
Ramm, S. and dropped them from
the porch without injury.
When another rescue attempt
by a grandson, Richard Thorne-
berger, failed, Mrs. Howard Lane,
the grandmother, jumped from
the porch, fell on a neighbor, Mrs.
Adelaide Simpson, 38, of 1872
Morton street NV, and sent her
to Freedmen's Hospital with
broken leg. All occupants of the
house are colored.
The other Ramm children,
Frank, 9, and Jimmy, 6, made
their way out of the house safely,
but the Thorneberger youth suf-
fered burns of the arms and one
leg.
