The health service said that
during the past week Colombia

Almond Ruling Asked
On Adoption Methods
In Nearby Virginia

The opinion of Virginia Attorney
General ]. Lindsay Almond, jr,
was sought today on the legality
of child placement practices in
Alexandria and Arlington.
Alexandria Commemorative At
torney Howard w. Smith, jr., said
he was asking Mr. Almond to rule
whether an apparent widespread
child placement procedure in the
city is valid under the law.
1t was disclosed last week by the
Alexandria welfare department
that most children were being
placed in homes for adoption by
attorneys or doctors, instead of
through three authorized place
ment agencies. Subsequently, Ar
lington welfare officials confirmed
a similar situation there.
Authority Believed Restricted.
In the opinion of the Alexandria
and Arlington welfare directors,
only their agency and the Chill
dren's Home Society and Catholic
Charities of Northern Virginia are
permitted under State law to place
children for adoption.
The law permits mothers to
place their children directly with
foster parents. But the welfare
officials assert that in the ques-
tionable cases the mother does not
know where the child is taken.
Placing Agency Defined.
The law defines a child placing
agency" as any one who places
a child or acts as an intermediary
in the placing of a child, and it
fodbids any one to act as child
placing agency" without first OBJ
tanning license.
/ The penalty for acting as a
Child placing agency without a
license is a maximum fine of S100
or imprisonment for II months,
or both, said Mr.. Smith.

lCloG ONAS IL
The GOODNESS toward retroactive
ity stems from the cost that ii
would add to the legislation. Pay
raise sponsors say that it probably
Will be October at the earliest be-
fore a Government pay increase
measure is approved by Congress
This would mean that all Federal
employees would be entitled to a
.three-month retroactive salary in
crease, which would mean a con-
siderable cost of money.
The $400 postal and classified
pay bills voted by the House
group would cost an estimated
$670 million a year. Consequently
the retroactive provision would
cost well over an additional S100
million, and pay raise sponsors
don't want to burden the measure
with additional costs.
In only one past pay raise
measure has Congress voted a
retroactive provision, ana lnlS
was in the case of one of the
postal employe pay bills. But in
that instance the proposed raise
wasn't as large as this one, nor
was the retroactive period very
long. Classified employees never
have received a retroactive boost

Senators Are at0dds
Over Need Of Report
On Macarthur Probe
BY the Associated Press

Senators who spent almost two
months investigating the dismissal
of Gen. Macarthur have appar-
Iently come to an abrupt parting
of the way over the need of a re-
port on their findings.
Yesterday Senator Cain, Repub-
lican, of Washington, said fatty
that he and seven other members
of the inquiry committees, Armed
Services and Foreign Relations
have already signed a report.
But on Saturday Senator Rus
sell, Democrat, of Georgia, who
ran the 2-million-word hearings,
repeated what he has said before
that he thinks no report is
needed.
To Call Meeting, However.
However, Senator Russell told
reporter he would call meeting
of the joint committee soon to
make a final decision.
Senator Cain, appearing on an
NBC television show, did not
identify the senator's who he said
Joined him in his report.
1t was learned early last month
that Senator Cain was working
on a preliminary report blasting
President Truman for firing the
Far East commander and declar-
ing that Gen. MacArthur's Korean
War program was "the only pos
itlve program" for winning the
war.
Senator Cain said then he was
representing six or seven" Re-
publicans.
But yesterday all he would say
is that the report outlines the
slgners' views as to mistakes made
in the Far East.
He said the eight would submit
it to the joint committee for ap-
proval but would make it public
whether approved or not.
Fate of Testimony Undecided.
The whole question of what to
do with the voluminous testimony
taken from Gen. Macarthur, Sec
retary OF Defense Marshall, Sec
retary OF State Acheson, and 10
other witnesses on Korean War
policy has been very much in the
background since a cease fire be-
came possibility.
! Senators in a position to know,
however, said last month that
Senator Gains proposed report
would charge that the administra-
itions foreign policy has been
dictated by fear of Russia, :"
would blame the Yalta agreement
for the Communist capture of
China and would severely criticize
lthe President for the way he fired
Gen. Macarthur. although not
questioning Mr. Truman's right to
do so. These same Senators said
the report did not specifically
endorse Gen. Macarthur war
program.
Gen. MacArthur's program
called for the use of Chinese Ma
Itlonalist troops, for Allied air
power over Manchurian bases and
Itor naval and economic block
