Mrs. Harry Cells.

vision actress was doing a TV
show in New York when she
caught the eye of Paris Couturier
Jacques Helm. He asked her to
model his dresses on a television
show next day. He told her
You look like Snow White"
Pat replied. I've always wanted
to see Paris. Will you take me
back with you?"

When Helm offered a six-month

Arlington Asks Ruling
On Union Pay Demand
In School Contracts

Virginia's Attorney General has
been asked to rule on a demand
of labor leaders that bidders on
Arlington School construction
contracts be required to pay a
minimum wage. The ruling was
requested by the Arlington School
board.
Representatives of the Washing
ton Building Trades Council and
the Washington Central Trades
Union appeared at a school board
meeting yesterday to present their
case.
They told the board that the
Federal Government and many
State. city and county govern
ments specify the minimum rates
Of wages and hours in all con-
tracts.
Frank J. O'Connor and Ben. A.
Sanford of the Building Trades
Council and J. c. Turner of the
Trades Union, told the board in a
joint statement that the policy
they advocate would insure that
workers will be protected from
substandard wages"
A ruling also Is sought by the
board on the question of whether
it. as a governmental body, can
donate to a unions health and
welfare fund. The union officials
said Washington contractors pay
6 cents per hour per man to the
fund but have threatened to dis
continue this practice unless Ar
lington complies.
E. Carl Hengen, Arlington con-
tractor and former President of
the Northern Virginia Builders
Association, took issue with the
union representatives at the
meeting. He objected to the "in-
situation that non-union labor
and non-union contractors were
not as capable as union members. ~
Mr.. Hengen said that union
membership is purely a matter
of choice on the part Of Virginia
workers.

Prosecutor Cautious
On Probe Testimony
By the Asseeiofed Pres.

SALISBURY, Md, Aug. IL
States Attorney John L. Sanford
jr., said today he'd be glad to

Mr.. Sanford tossed it off with, Il

Mr.. Sanford had said he was
too busy to attend the Salisbury
hearing. He was in court on a
gambling case in the day and last
night said he was out on a series
of raids. But he wouldn't mention
names and places and said no

The crime probers wanted to
question Mr.. Sanford particularly
about gambling operations along
the broadwalk in Ocean City.
Such forms of gambling as slot
machines, dice games and bingo
were rampant before Mr.. Sanford
took over as Worcester County
States Attorney the first of this
year. He had been elected to Of

Berlin Reds Harp on War Fears
In Propaganda Drive for Unity

soldiers west of the Elbe River in
a new world war.
Past efforts by the East Ger
mans to drum up unity talks have
met with cool reception in the
west. though eventual unif1cation
is desired by most Germans.
The eastern propaganda blast
was timed to fill hole in the IA
day youth festival. This day had
been set aside largely for a million
German blue shirts and 10000
foreign visitors to rest
Starting at dawn tomorrow, the
German boys and girls will be as
Sembled for a parade down Inter

pected to last 10 or II hours.
Many young blue shirts visited
West Berlin today, and left bug
eyed at the looks of things in the
capitalistic American, British and
French sectors. More than 300,-
600 have made the trip this week,
against the will of festival leaders.
| West Berlin's mayor, Ernst
Reuter-. took to the radio tonight
to congratulate the people for
receiving the youths warmly, for
feeding them and for showing
them how "the free world lives. !"
A group of West Berliners beat
up Russian-sector policeman
who attempted to arrest some
westerners distributing anti Com
munist leaflets denouncing the
festival at the border between the
French and Russian sectors.
Knocked down, the policeman
arose and scampered to refuge
over the boundary.

Welfare Official Cal
Most Of Arlington
.Adoptions Illegal

Questionable adoption arrange
ments apparently are more wide
spred in Arlington County than in
Alexandria. where similar prac-
tees were disclosed last week.
John C. Howell. director of the
Arlington Welfare Department,
said last night that So adoptions
were arranged independently of
authorized child placement agen-
cies in that county during the
past year.
Only Is adoptions were ar
ranged by his department in the
same period, said Mr.. Howell.
A few others. he said, were ar
ranged by the Children's Home
Society and Catholic Charities,
which are the only two agencies
outside the welfare department
licensed to place children for
adoption.
Many Believed Illegal.
an my opinion, said Mr.. How
ell, most of the other So cases
actually were Illegal"
His view is shared by Miss
Barbara Watkins, Alexandria well
fare director who disclosed last
week that most adoptions in that
city were being arranged outside
of authorized agencies. She knew
of 10 in the past year. The well
fare directors say the Virginia
law allows only licensed child
placement agencies to arrange
adoptions, except when the moth
er chooses to place a child di-
rectly.
Alexandria commemorative At
torney Howard w. Smith. jr., is
studying the law to determine if
the welfare officials interpreta-
ton is correct.
The Arlington adoption pattern
is practically the same as in Alex
andria. A doctor or lawyer knows
of an anticipated illegitimate chic
and of a couple that wants tc
adopt a child. After the baby is
born, the mother signs a consent
paper for an adoption and the
child is taken Immediately to the
adaptive parents.
Petition Is Filed.
Several monthes later when ar
adoption petition is filed in court
the welfare department is called
on to make a routine investigation
I'VE find most of the place
ments are fairly acceptable" SAID
Mr.. Howell. But some are very
i'll advised"
He added that it was hard, how
ever, to remove a child from a
home once it has been placed
there.
so in these ill-advised cases
the parents will somehow make

Once in a while he said welfare

dies"
And it all could have beer
avoided if the proper studies OF
the child and adaptive parents
had been made before the chic
was placed with them" he added
Mr.. Howell said he hoped the
questionable adoption practice
could be curbed by publicizing its
dangers.
