By ChorIes J. Yorbrouqh

When a childless couple turns
to adoption as a means of acquir-
ing a family, there is no such
thing as an unWanted baby.
With that age-old truth as its
beacon, the Washington Home for
Foundlings goes into its 82d year
and new era this month.
Long a temporary haven for
babies whose chances for normal
home life are imperiled because of
Iillegitimacy or economic condi-
tions, the home has had a we'll
filled share of getting babies into
happy homes.
Until 1851. that share Of re-
isponsibility meant almost mother
like care of babies in behalf of
placement agencies. Today, the
home is its own licensed adoption
placement agency operating on
the same deficit that plagued all
such modern-day services-there
are eight adoption applications for
every available baby.

overlooking Spring Valley in
Northwest Washington, the big u
shaped, stone and brick home
|nestles peacefully behind a green

line curving sidewalk and for

But not only on the exterior does
the place assiduously avoid that
institutional" appearance. In
side, from Mrs. Emma Beatty's
spotless kitchen to the hospital
clean, but home-comfortable dor
mitory, the picture is the same.
The founding home, occupying
almost the full width of the $500
block of Forty-second street and
most of it's depth. is far and away
better off financially than it was
on congressional recognition in
1870.

port was a virtual death warrant.
When the Senate Appropriations
Ctsnmite voted against the appro-
priation last week, the project was
all but consigned to the grave.
Today's appeal came from Com
merce Secretary Sawyer in a letter

Colorado, of the Senate Commerce
Commite. The communication
supplemented one the Secretary
had previously directed to Senator
McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee.

absolutely Necessary"
way A1dhV CICdl lily OpllllOll,
the Secretary'S letter to Senator
johnson said, that it will be alb
solutely necessary for Washington
to have another airport at some
time in the near future
He expressed hope that "Con-
gress will support its previous
judgement on this matter and not
wait until it is prodded or scared
into action by some great trag-
edy."
To Virginia interests and men,
bers of Congress, Mr.. Sawyer
pointed out that the department.
already has taken possession of
large numbers of properties and
has paid for many of them. "The
people involved in this procedure.
or at least all but a few of them.
have made their plans to move.
1T is unfortunate that there
should be any indication of hesi-
fancy on the part of the Govern
ment which will raise narrowing
doubts in the minds of those who
are sufficiently upset and dis
commoded as it was"
Problem Involves Future.
He said the question of appro-
priating this relatively small sum
of money at this time might ap-
pear to be present-day problem
only. 1t should be borne in mind
that the overall problem involved
will carry us far into the future" :"
He added that actual air traffic
had grown beyond estimates made
at the time Congress approved
Burke airport.
Replying to Maryland opposition
to the Burke site, Secretary Sawyer
declared "it is no answer to sug-
gest the possible use of Friendship
airport at Baltimore. Baltimore,
like every other major city, will
demand increasing airport facili-
ties as time goes on.
1.-The fact that Friendship is
built and available is a piece of
good fortune for Baltimore, but it
should not be allowed to obscure
the problem which faces Washing
