Although $50 pints were taken

The center needs 1000 pints in

est development In a three-cor-
nered legal action, involving Pat
rick David Sterling, son of the
retired diplomat. who said his
father had given him power of
attorney to act for him last
August; Leroy j. Blackwelder. a
builder with Offices in the 1900
block of Sixth street S.W., who
told the judge he had buried the
cash; and Attorney James A.
Crooks. court-appointed conser-
vator of the estate of the elder
Mr.. Sterling.
Mr.. Sterling of the 5000 block
of Prospect avenue NV. is now
in his 80s. Although the $57 900
belongs to him, he was not
directly involved in the legal
tangle.
Acting under the power Of
attorney he says his father gave
him, young Sterling made a con-
tract with Mr.. Blackwelder. He
Iagreed to turn over 100000
worth Of his fathers stocks to
Mr.. Blackwelder. who agreed to
pay it back in five years plus
$4,000 a year and the amount
the stocks would have earned
in dividends.
Mr.. Blackwelder told Judge
Holtzoff he had already con-
Iverted $57 600 worth of the stock
into cash. under the contract.
Judge Holtzoff said the cons
tract was invalid because the
sons power of attorney was in
valid. He said the elder Mr..
Sterling was not competent to
grant anyone the power of
attorney.
The jurist ordered the money
returned. He said the conserva-
tor. Mr.. Crooks, is supposed to
have the retired diplomats
assets in his custody for safe
keeping.
But at an earlier hearing, Judge
Holtzoff had asked Mr.. Black
weldeT what he had done with the
money. Mr.. Blackwelder said he

Return Of Foster Children
To Parents Is Authorized

The District commissioners
today authorized the Welfare
Department to shift children
committed to foster homes back
to their parents in certain cases
by supplementing family in
comes.
The move has a two-fold OBJ
jective:
A psychological help to the
child of being with his parent
OF parents in cases where he is
wanted.
A saving to the District of
about $4,000 a year.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea estimated that only about
20 families would be involved in
the revised policy. At present,
public assistance regulations do
not permit supplementing full
time employment. even though
the total family income is less
than that considered necessary
to meet a family's needs. This
policy was agreed on by a for
mer Board of Public Welfare in

A man who "likeS kids" was
charged with abduction here last
night after he disappeared from
the Commodore Hotel for As
minutes with an l1-month-old
boy.
He was booked by police as
John Michael DittuS, 25, an I'M
employed book salesman of
Peoria, Ill.
The baby's disappearance,
about 4 pm. touched off a fran
tic search throughout the hotel
area at North Capitol and F
streets. 1t ended. about 4:45
when Dittus returned to the
secene. apparently unaware of
the excitment he had caused. He
had wrapped the youngster in
his jacket to keep him warm.
He told police and the child's
mother, Mrs. Betty Ostrander,
80, of Harrisburg. Pa. that he
wanted to show him to my girl
friend" a waitress in a nearby
restaurant. The youngster, Da-
vid Leonard, was unframed.
Mrs. Ostrander said she works
for a firm in Chicago, which
hires door-to-door book vendors.
Miss Maggie Miller, 10, of
GIT M street S.W., baby sitter,
told police Dittus took the child
while she cared for him in Mrs.
Ostrander's fifth floor room.
Mrs. Ostrander was elsewhere
in the building answering tele-
phone inquiries from help

ployer.

gators. had dropped by the

order to keep within it's budget,
Mr.. Shea said.
He did not recommend a gen.
eral revision of this policy today.
But, he added, in some cases it
is felt that after working with
children who have been placed
in foster homes. they can be re-
habilitated more successfully if
returned to their families. The
parents desire for the child's
return would be a necessary ele-
ment.
I'm such cases." Mr.. Shea said
lit would be economically sound
to provide some experimentation
Of this income which would be
considerably less than that ex-
pended for foster care, which now
amounts to an average of $50 per
month for board and an esti-
mated additional $40 for cloth
ing. medical care and other in
cidentals."
In cases where the child's re-
turn to his family could be
worked out the salary supple
ment could be up to $50, he said.

Most of the losses in last
nights session came in the first
half. with the Italians gaining

The Americans started badly
by Overlooking a hand to a slam
while the Italian pair stopped
safely at game. Later they SUI

of 200 points at an unmakeable

DAVID LAWRENCE

Economic disaffection is q
very hard thing for the party
In power to combat in any
election, but it's even harder
in an off-year and off-sea-
son contest of q local nature.
The Wisconsin victory Of a
Democrat for the United
States Senate for the first
time since 1882 did not come
as q surprise to this corre-
spondent or to anyone else
here who had been realistic
cally appraising the trends
in national politics in the last
few months. Nor will the
election Of q Democratic
Congress in 1858 and q DEM
ocratic President in 1860
come as q surprise. For the
Republicans today have q
divided party. and they
don't enjoy the benefit of
such answering support for
the party on election day
as the Democrats do when,
as IN the South, they divide
into radical and conserva-
tive factions on major is
sues.
This correspondent wrote
on, May is last that "the
chances Of electing q Re-
publican Congress in 1868
are each day growing dim
mer," and wrote also on May
81:
There are some observers
here who fear that the Re-
publican Party has already
committed political suicide
and that the Republican
presidential nomination in
1860 will not be worth any
thing to any candidate :.
THE political mess in the
Republican Party has been
brought on by mistaken
tactics Of both the modern
Republicans and the So
called conservatives
Wisconsin's election of a
Democrat was really more Of
an anti-Republican demon
stration than a vote Of con-
fidence in the Senator-elect.
William Proxmire. For Wis
consin is a normally Re-
publican State and when the
Republicans in the farm
areas fail to come out to
vote. it must be because Of
indifference to a Republican
administration in Washing
ton.
Politically speaking, these
are not good times" for the

Of State leaders should have
Endorsed him. He lost the
primary because he was not
favored by the Eisenhower
administration. Also. in the
Inflated primary, several
Republican contenderS to-
gether polled nearly twice
as many votes as Kohler did.
The campaign strategistS,
moreover. billed Kohler as an
Eisenhower Re p ublican"
which, Of course. offended
the Mccarthy faction. While
an ardent supporter Of Nc
Carthy ran as an independent
in Tuesdays election, this
was not a factor in the actual
result but 1t did emphasize
the failure Of the Republic
cans to heal their internal
wounds.
The Republicans cannot
win Congress in 1858 or the
presidency In 1860 with their
present dissension. Having
listened to Eastern mentors
who keep saying that mod
ern Republicanism" is the
way to win elections-when,
In fact, 1t is q very effective
way to promote disunity and
encourage conservative Re-
publicans to stay at home on
election day-the national
managers of the Republican
Party will have to discon-
tinue giving the impression
that 1t is some kind of sin
to oppose radicalism, as well
as so-called liberalism" and
the other isms of which the
Democrats are more prac-
ticed opponents than are the
modern Republicans"
Senator Knowland Of Cal.
ifornia is quite right In pull
ing away from the Washing
ton scene. He can't get the
1860 nomination because he
isn't regarded as an "Eisen-
hover Republican" There
probably will be a pull-back.
however, in 1864 from the
policies Of State socialism
which the Democrats will re-
introduce when they come
into power. The next Repub-
lican chance for victory will
probably be in 1864 with a
party composed largely Of
conservatives and nonradicals
and disillusioned Democrats.
For. as imitation goes un-
checked. Federal budgets Of
the astronomical kind-in the
$50 billion and 500 billion
class-are not far distant and
will certainly emerge when
the Democrats win the 1860
presidential contest.

NATO. not because Thailand
represents a particularly
strong military power. is q

or is an impenetrable for
tress against propaganda
and infiltration. The honor
was bestowed at the instiga-
ton Of Secretary Dulles be-
cause Of her strategic posi-
ton in the midst Of q COM
munist and neutralist sea.
Thailand has q military
establishment Of $4,000 men,
pretty well equipped with
weapons which are modern
for this area. The fighting
men are reported sturdy, al
though the high command
leaves much to be desired.
The Thai army, except for
q company which fought well
In the Korean War, has not
been tried in the field against
other forces for many years.
Resistance to the Japanese
invaders in World War II
lasted less than an hour.
However. the odds were heavy
against the Thailanders and
prolonged resistance would
have meant a completely fu-
tile massacre Of men and
devastation Of the land.
Today when the United
States has banded together
seven other nations in the
South Pacific in an effort to
ward of the danger Of Red
Chinese aggression, Thai
land has become an impor-

The average voter has

the blame for his troubles on

But to say that q majority
Of the citizens might not
vote for measures Of inter-
national cooperation if this
were a single issue would be
wrong. It's the sum total Of
all the disaffections for a
variety of reasons that adds
UP to a protest vote against
the party in power.
Then there's the so-called

and supporters of the late

silly. against communism. The
fact that in McCarthy's home
town more Democratic votes
than ever before were cast
and that the Republican mar
gin was narrower than in
previous elections may or
may not have been signifi-
cant. But it seems certain
that If Mccarthy had been
running he would have made
a better showing than Koh-
Ter did. That's because he
would have drawn heavily
from the Democratic Party,
too.
Mistakes we're made by the
Republican side in other re-
spects. too. Thus Representa-
