Completing a three-year study,
the Special Committee on Public
Welfare Institutions concluded: ::
Each of the eight public well
fare institutions are housed in
facilities which are either out
moded or overcrowded, or both,
and as a result require exces-
Sive costs of operations"
The committee, set up under
the auspices of United Com
munity Services and headed by
Glenn E. Mclaughlin, econo-
mist with the Export Import
Bank, made public it's report at
the annual meeting of the UCS
Family and Child Welfare Sec
ton at the YWCA.
Findings Listed.
These findings dominated the
43-page report:
/. The most important def
cheney of the public welfare in
Stitutions-cause of many other
def1ciences-is the lack of ade-
quate facilities.
2. The Commissioners have
now recognized the need by ap-
proving the Addison Public
Works Committees proposals for
$10,355,00O worth of welfare
construction in the next eight
years but they didn't go far
enough. The Commissioners
should expand their welfare con-
struction program to include all
welfare units needed in the next
eight years.
3. A definite timetable of con-
struction, approved as far as
possible by Congress, is needed
to enable the Board of Public
Welfare to decide what construc-
ton and repair work is to be
done at institutions which are
eventually going to be moved.
4. The committee agreed
whole-heartedly with the health
welfare public works financing
proposal under which Congress
would contribute half the con-
struction costs and lend the re-
malnder on a n-lntereSt BEAR
ing basis. But if that doesn't
work out, the committee recon-
mended borrowing the entire
amount for public welfare con-
struction, if possible from the
Government without interest,
otherwise privately.
Financing Problems.
On the score of financing, the
committee noted that while a
reasonably sizable part of the
welfare building needs will be
met through annual appropria-
tions, completion of the program

The Wet Mimi raiders were

Though the Wet Mimi still
has not launched a direct attack
on Luangprabang, the Com
munist leaders appear to be
throwing more and more of their
best fighting men into the Laos
invasion. Apparently they seek
to overrun the little mountain
kingdom-90,000 square miles in
area-before the heavy seasonal
rains start in the next month
or two.
Already they claim control of
one-third to one-half of Laos,
which is one of Indo-C China S
