Proxy Adoptions

I speak on the need of en-
acting legislation as promptly
as possible to permit Korean
children and orphans once
again to enter the United
States. I also hope that
couples interested in adoption
will not be impeded by OBJ
stacles thrown in their way.
Our visa quota, permitting
adoption, recently has been
filled. In considering extension
OF the Refugee Act of 1858,
there will be two ways permit
ting adoption of children, One,
simply by increasing the al
lowable orphan quota. The
other-the purpose of this let
ter-is to continue to allow
adoption by proxy.
Defeat Of this latter provi-
sion simply means that cou-
pies interested in adoption,
eager to open thier hearts and
their homes to helpless Ko-
rean orphans, will find their
progress checked-believe it or
not-by social workers!
Senator Neuberger has a
bill extending the Refugee
Act, and President Eisenhower
has supported an amendment
to the act to permit greater
influx of refugees.
Alas. from another stand
point the prospects are never
theless dim. The "by proxy"
method of adoption. so helpful
and satisfactory in the eyes of
would-be adopters, is in ieop-
ardy. This excellent method
obviates the necessity of going
to Korea, cuts red tape but by
passes the welfare worker al
together. 1t does away with his
stringent, dilatory, frustrating
regulations which he insists
must be adhered to. Instead,
adoption by proxy permits a
couple to grant power of
attorney to another who, in
turn. facilitates their obtain
ing a child without meeting so
many barriers.
1t is this that vexes the So
cial worker. for he has no au-
thority over, and does not get
income from children so
adopted. Welfare groups, OPP
posed to this provision, are
working hard to influence
Congress to defeat this outlet.
Yet, this by-proxy method is
the only road which will de-
termine whether an orphan,
who inwardly yearns for a
home and for folks who want
him. will ever get the chance
Of leading a useful. dignif1ed
life, or whether he will be COM
PEELED to wait. and wait and
wait until his hopes begin to
wane. Paul Chiera.

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Playing Into the Hands of Opportunists
BY GOULD L

The demand of Senator Full
bright. Arkansas Democrat,
for a State Department white
paper" covering all phases of
the Eisenhower foreign policy,
particularly in the Middle East,
was accompanied by a state
ment that was at once a re-
quest for information and an
attack. The attack was aimed
specifically at Secretary Of
State DulleS-but back of that
it was directed at President
Eisenhower, since the Presi-
dent is responsible for the
country's foreign policy and
assumes always that respon-
sibility.
In the white paper" Sena-
tor Fulbright proposed that
the State Department give an
explanation of why Great Brit
ain and France "affirmatively
concealed from us" their plans
to attack Egypt. He added: II
have seen no reasonable ex-
PLANTATION of why Great Britain
and France. the two greatest
beneficiaries of our foreign aid
program, should want to de-
ceive us. Surely the members
of this committee (the Foreign
Relations and the Armed Serv-
ices Committees of the Senate)
should know what motivated
this unprecedented action by
friendly governments, before
we are asked to express our
confidence in the conduct Of
our foreign affairs during this
period" In other words. before
the Congress should approve
President Eisenhower's request
for authority to use American
armed forces in the event of
Communist aggression in the
Middle East and to extend eco
nomic aid in that area.
His Political Outlook as Key
This proposal must be con-
sidered in the light of Senator
Fulbright's own conception Of
the policies followed by Dulles
in the Middle East. He said:
II regard the policies which he
Dullesl has been following as
harmful to our interests, as
being calculated to weaken the
influence of the free world in
the Middle East, disastrous to
the NATO organization and as
damaging to our friendship
with Great Britain and
France"
This raises a doubt whether
the Arkansas Senator would
have preferred to see the United
States back up their action in
Egypt. Also, it seems that
Senator Fulbright should de-
mand an explanation from the
British and the French why
they concealed from the Amer
lean Government their plans to
attack Egypt. If they concealed
their plans from this country,
is there any reason to believe
they have confided to our State
Department their reasons for
this concealment? The British
and the French are in position
to give this explanation that
Senator Fulbright demands

officer with badge No. 1925.
Not only was the officer re-
ferred to efficient and courtc-
GUS in handling the adults and
children who kept moving past
the cable into the avenue, but
he added that extra bit to his
duty and apparently at his own
expense. The afternoon had
waned and the children sitting
on the curb were growing hun
grier by the minute. Suddenly
the patrolman dug into his
pockets and began passing out
apples to the youngsters. To
be sure no child who was hun
cry in his sector was missed,
he moved up and down the
line calling Anyone else?" I'M
til his stock was gone. The
patrolman's action temporarily
diverted the attention of hun
dreds of persons from passing
parade units, particularly APP
preciative parents.
All this occurred at the
point on the parade route
where the Kentucky locomo-
tive temporarily broke down
with radiator trouble, halt
ing the parade. The good
natured crew members told the
crowd they had failed to add
water to the radiator after in
stalling antifreeze. With the
crew members as gay as the

the crowd was then treated to
the amusing sight of the radi-
ator being filled by using small
paper cups after an emergency
crew obtained a bucket of
water from a nearby service

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

He had such a good idea
to write about; he thought.
II won't have to write this
down, I can't forget this"
So he forgot it.
Now the lost idea tantalizes
him, perhaps forever, for often
they never come back again.
This small story from real
life shows the necessity for
writing things down.
Our race is eye-minded,
anyway.
We all know how to read
and write, or almost all of us.
There are enough ballpoint
pens on the market to write
40 billion words a second for
the next SO billion years, or so.
So why not write it down?

Ladies who go to market
know the value of this.
But do they also know that
they ought to write down what
their husbands ask them to
get?
Il would like to try that
new bread" says the man of
the house.
$50 would l." says the lady.
She thinks she will remem-
Der. but when she gets to the
supermarket-they are all
supermarkets now-she sees
the old familiar loaf and buys
1t, as she has been doing for
years.
Comes dinner, and some
body ask. innocently, How
about that new bread?"
A faint look of something
or other comes over a beloved
face.
"Oh. I forgot about that"
you mean you forgot to
write it down."
Keeping notes is done in a
thousand different ways.
Every human has his own

a third just a plain piece of

The Irish question" would
be relatively minor if those
who drew up the Irish con-
stitution some years ago had
shown proper respect for and
pride in early Irish history.
Fundamentally. it is mainly a
religious quarrel and little else.
AS can be verified in any Irish
history, Ireland had a wholly
independent and free church,
founded by Patrick and not
subject to any authority on
the continent or the papacy,
until about 1172-73. when
English King Henry II and his
Normans conquered and "re-
ceived the submission Of a part
of the island and made its
church subject to Rome. When
the papal legates arrived in
iii, Henry <. offered Ireland
as peace-offering to the Pope
and withdrew the Constitu-
tions of Clarendon" Thatcher
and Schwill, Europe in the
Middle Age, Page 518). 50. /.
the adventures were uncon-
trollable and he Henry had
to let them conquer what they
could ;. (their) object was to
carve out principalities for
themselves :" Encyclopedia
Britannica. 18th Edition, Vol
ume IA. Page IT'D
Patrick founded the inde-
pendent Irish church about
432, after an envoy of the
Bishop of Rome had been ex-
lied from the country. Thus,
the Irish church had an hon.
orable record of TAI years be-
fore it was compelled to SUBJ
nit to the English Normans
and the papacy in 1l73. This
submission is something in
which the sout ern Irish
should not take much pride.
if they are informed about
their history; yet those who
drafted their constitution pro-
vided that the Roman Cath
Ollie Church specifically should
be accorded a preferred status
in the island. Out of respect
for the early independent Irish
church, this item should have
been omitted and religious
profession by all inhabitants
Of the island put on an equal
and wholly free basis, espe-
cially since it originally had
been forced on them by the
English Normans in ll72-73.
In that event, there would
have been very little for the
Irish to quarrel about. since
broad equality throughout the
island would have prevailed.
and all minor differences could
readily have been settled. For
the above reasons, I doubt
whether the outside world is
much interested in this So
called Irish question"
