WASHINGTON R-The House Insular Affairs Committee yester- day approved an Alaska state hood bill by a 24-6 vote.
 Before acting, the committee knocked out of the bill a provi- sion that Alaskans hold a general referendum on the question of whether they wished the territory to become a state before any of the admission machinery went into effect.
 Subcommittee Provisions Out
 Also removed from the bill was another provision which would have delayed for five years after statehood the transfer of jurisdiction over fish and wildlife resources to the new state.
 Both provisions had been writ ten into the bill by a subcommit- tee which approved the measure 17-5 last week.
 In other actions prior to the final vote, the committee defeat ed a proposal by Delegate Bart lett which would have required any federal agency to obtain Con- gressional approval before taking over 5000 or more acres of public land for government purposes during the first five years after statehood.
 Maritime Board
 The committee also deleted a subcommittee amendment which would have retained inethe Feder- al Maritime Board after state hood it's exclusive jurisdiction over common carriers operating between the states and Alaska or between Alaskan ports.
 The vote was as follows:
 For Aspinall D-Colo), Barring D-NeW, Berry R-SD), Cheno- weth R-Colo), Christopher D Mo, Collier R-IlD, Dawson R- Utah), Diggs (D-Mich), Edmond son DOkla, Metcalf D-Mont, Miller R Neb), O'Brien D-NY, Pfost D-Idaho, Powell D-NY). Rhodes R-AriD, Saylor R-P0.

Muti-MilliOn Damage Claims Predicted With Major League Shift
(By The Associated Press)

Pacific Coast League sources predicted Thursday the proposed shift of two National League baseball clubs to the West Coast would result in multi-million-dol- lar damage claims and re-align- ment of the Pacific Cost League.
 There were estimates that if the Brooklyn Dodgers actually move to Los Angeles and the New York Giants to San Francisco, Pacific Coast League clubs affected ad- versely would demand reimburse ment totaling S8 to S1O million.
 Under baseball law, club in vading another leagues territory is responsible for damages. If the amount can't be agreed upon by negotiation, a court case may re- suit.

such a vote should be taken to eliminate confusion as to whether Alaskans actually want statehood.
 Saylor said the proposal was nothing more than delying tao tic" by those opposing statehood for Alaska.
 Fisheries Delay Rejected
 The fisheries transfer delay was rejected on a 17-14 vote after Bartlett told the committee lone of the fundamental reasons Alas kans want statehood is to take the fisheries over from a distant bureaucracy in an effort to check depletion of the resource.
 Engle disclosed he plans to talk soon to the House leadership about scheduling the bill for floor consideration.
 "I'm going to move just as fast as can," he said, adding that his present disposition is to take the bill direct to the floor without going into the Rules Committee, where we were strait-jacketed before"
 Shortcut to Floor
 He was referring to what hap pened in 1855 In that session he threatened to invoke the prefer ential status available to state hood bills and bring an Alaska bill directly to the floor rather than follow the normal path of going before the committee. But he was persuaded to go before the committee, which eventually ap- proved consideration of a joint Alaska-Ha bill under proce- dure which prevented amend ments. The House rejected the bill one-sidedly.
 Engle said he does not plan to hold up the Alaska bill until the Hawaii proposal is cleared by either the House subcommittee or full committee.

The need for such legislation
was recognized by House APP
preparations Committee in 1850
when it cited "a necessity for
some type of legislation to clarity
the administration of public as
sistance to needy citizens. At
the present time, it is now neces-
Isary for the director of public
welfare to administer this vital
part Of the program under three
separate laws and one set of reg
ulations approved by the Com
miSSioners."
AS previously drawn, the pro-
posed legislation included these
features. among others:
Provision for emergency cash
assistance, after residence eligi-
bility has been established.
Authorization for reciprocal
agreement with a State on
public assistance provisions to
residents and on-residents.
Access to Records
Authorization of the Commits
Sioners IN their discretion to per-
nit the public to have access
to records of public assistance

formation was not used for COM
merclal or political purposes.
Extension of penalties for
fraud to categories of public
assistance where no such pro-
visions exist.
Placement of responsibility for
support on the husband. wife.

a recipient in all categories Of

For many years. however, we

3 Found Unattended
In still another case, three
children. 3 months. 2 and 4,
brought to Junior Village we're
found unattended in a basement
apartment in the 100 block of
P street NV. The mother had
been arrested the previous night
for being drunk and disorderly.
Her husband was in Jail for
assault with a deadly weapon.
In some cases. the village is
IA refuge for children whose pa
rents have suddenly become i'll
and have nowhere else to turn
for help. Five children came to
Junior Village this month when
their mother, cardiac victim.
was taken to the hospital.
Mr.. Stone said some parents
who come to visit their children
at the home display great inter-
est. while others seem uncofl-
cerned.
Child Takes Initiative
Some mothers with eight or
nine children aren't even sure
which children are here or else
where" he said. "One girl, about
IL or -. took the initiative and
found her mother she had not
seen since infancy. The mother
now is a regular visitor and they
have established a good relation
ship"
Junior Village provides a home
for children from six months
through II. The average stay
is five to six months and welfare
officials believe this time could
be cut down if there were more
case workers to help solve the
family problems that bring the
children to the village.
While Mr.. Stone is seeking two
new cottages and a nursery
fodder infirmary with a ca
pacity OF about $50 children
there is agreement among well
fare workers that more buildings
won't provide the entire answer
I'VE need preventative serv-
ices" explained Donald Brewer
deputy welfare director. with
more workers some of these
family situations wouldn't gel
to the point where it is necessary
to send the children to Junior
Village. The workers are now
carrying entirely too many fami-
lies to be fully effective"
Welfare Director Gerald NJ
Shea has not yet made a recon-
mendation on the proposed new
buildings. but If they are built
the funds probably will come
from the five-year capital out

Senate Unit OK
Justice Aide Moves
To Juvenile Bench

The Senate District Committee
today voted to confirm the nomi-
nation Of Orm w. Ketcham to
be judge of Juvenile Court.
The 38-year-old Justice De-
partment attorney and father of
four children would succeed
Judge Edith Cockrill whose term
expired in August, 1855.
The full committee met in
session for a half hour
this morning to thresh out the
legal question which had been
raised by the fact that Mr..
Ketcham lives in nearby Mary
land.
Chairman Nicely, Democrat of
West Virginia. said the commit

legal residence land did not
consider 1t serious enough to be
a disqualifying factor"
The committee chairman said
newsmen could draw their "own
conclusions" from the finding
He apparently meant that the
committee had decided that the
judge of Juvenile Court does not
have TO be a District resident
at the time of appointment. This
was the position taken by the
Justice Department and other
legal authorities who went into
the residence question.
The Justice Department con-
tended-and the committee APP
parently agreed-that Mr.. Ket-
cham was nominted under the
original Juvenile Court Act OF
1888 which does not have a
residence requirement. rather
than under the defunct Emer-
gency Act of l949 which did have
Mr.. Ketcham and Assistant
Deputy Attorney General Fred
rick w. Ford were called To the
Capitol as the committee went
into session but were not asked
to appear.
Mr.. Ketcham was asked
after the committee adjourned
whether he plans TO make any
changes in Juvenile Court opera
lions. He said he plans M
changes until he knows more
about court operations.
Since the Senate is not meet
ing today. the committee actor
cannot be reported to the Sen
ate until tomorrow. The nomina.
ton must then lay over a day
making Friday the earliest day
on which the Senate can act.

by a county board member,
David Krupsaw.

calls for the appointments to be
made after midnight December
