By WiIIiom A. MiIIen

Details of long-range plans fol
a Children's Center at Laurel. Md.
to house a growing child popula-
ton under the District Public
Welfare Board care were made
public yesterday.
Gerard M. Shea, director OF
public welfare, cited the space
problem created by the increasing
number of children placed with
the board.
The board cares for delinquent
dependent, neglected and feeble.
minded children. They are re.
ferred by Juvenile Court. the Po'
lice Juvenile Bureau and Woman:
Bureau, schools, churches, othel
agencies and parents.
Mr.. Shea said an increased
number of children must be taken
from their own homes because
parents cannot care for them.
Many Buildings Involved.
The Child Welfare Division
through it's planning. counseline
and protective section, tries to
keep a child in his own home or
that of relatives. But where a
child does not make proper prog
ress, it becomes necessary for his
own good to place him under
board guidance. Mr.. Shea said.
Long-range programs worked
out to meet the increased load in
volve construction of many addi-
tional buildings on the 1,000-acre
District Government tract at
Laurel.
An $4,000 item in the current
District appropriation bill for ar

tional Training School for girls
lis a key item in the program
schedule. 1t has been approved
by the Senate Appropriations Sub
committee handling the District

committee.
The full committee is expected
to act on the District budget fol-
the new fiscal year this week. As
the $4,000 item is not in the
House bill. if it is approved by the
Senators, it would go to confer
ence for further action.
Money Key to Progress.
This projected construction is
part of a general plan to abandon
antiquated buildings in the Dis
trict and move the children into
new homes in the country, Mr.
Shea explained. If the Commits
