WELFARE

Continued From First Page
action along these lines is now
shaping up:
l. A food-dispenAng move,
labeled by Senator Morse a
crash program" to combat
hunger among the city's chill
dren, including the use of Gov
eminent food SURPRISES and pos
sibly a school free-lunch pro-
gram.
2. A substantial increase in
the size of monthly public as
siStance checks. along with pro-
vision for emergency financial
help and help to the unem-
ployed, neither of which is now
offered by the city. Relief checks
would presumably be raised to
the current subsistence level, and
the present 5000 ceiling would
be junked.
3. Provision of more Welfare
Department case workers.
Early Deadline Set
Senator Morse has set an early
deadline for action on the food
question. The subcommittee has
scheduled a tour Tuesday Of the
city's settlement houses. which
have been asked to participate in
a food distribution plan. Con-
ditions in the surrounding low
income neighborhoods are to be
inspected.
District officials are to be sum-
moned subsequently to discuss
the administration of a food re-
lief program to replace the tenn
porary 30-day one now in effect
Drafting of legislation probably
will be started Immediately
thereafter.
Then, the Senate group is ex-
pected to turn its full attention
to the public assistance program
Senator Morse has promised
that his legislative proposals will
include funds TO carry them out
He has indicated that he will rely
for this on an enlargement OF
the Federal payment. which the
House Appropriations Commit
tee has set for $40 million.
No estimate Of what the well
fare reforms. including the fooc
program. may cost has yet beer
made.
Public assistance checks nov
are at only 83 per cent OF what
the city says is minimum sub.
Sistence. and both city and prl-
vate welfare leaders are unani-
mously in favor of raising them
to the full 100 per cent. Mr. See
man said the standard also ought
to the full 100 per cent.

District engineer commissioner
said last night he was waiting
for Mr.. Shea's report before
passing judgment on the need
for an increase. The need in
many families, he suggested. Is
to Improve family manage
ment."
Referring to testimony before
the Morse committee about I'M
derfed children. the commits
lsioner asserted that he had re-
ceived mo convincing evidence
that know of from the Welfare
Department that the reported
hunger is related to deficiencies
in our grants for public assist
ance."
He added that he had ian
open mind" however. He spoke

undoubtedly many recipients

In the settlement houses. But
they offered no guarantees.
Senator Morse has been one
Of the prime movers in the food
giveaway program. Almost i'm
mediately after hearing of re-
ports that some children were
going hungry. he scheduled a
series of public hearings which
were held last week.
He said repeatedly at the
hearings that he would not toll
crate any red tape that kept
food from getting to the mouths
Of any hungry kids"
On Tuesday. he and his sub
committee plan to tour settle
ment houses and the neighbour
hoods around them preparatory
to proposing legislation for
child-feeding on a bigger scale.
Representative Rabaut, DEM
ocrat Of Michigan, also has
taken hand. He scolded Dis
trict officials at closed hearings
for tolerating the existence of
hungry children and indicated
he wouldn't tolerate inaction.
Mr.. Rabaut is chairman of the
House District Appropriations
Subcommittee.
Senator Morse's committee
was given picture Of how many
hungry children there may be
but it was confusing. 1t involved
a good deal of guesswork.
MalnutritiOn in Schools
Two physicians offered what
seemed to be the firmest testi-
mony. DR.. Daniel l.. Finucane
public health director, gave fig
ures which suggested that per-
haps 2l2 to 3l2 per cent of the
city's school children may have
malnutrition problems. DR.. Rob-
ert H. Parrot of Children's Hos
pital cited some rather similar
figures pertaining to patients
treated there.
DR.. Finucane guessed that
there might be about 2,100 NAL
nutrition cases in the city's ele-
rnentary grades. 1t might be con-
jectured from his figures that
the total in all grades is between
5000 to 1000. But DR.. Finucant
didn't say so.
Senate sources said they re-
gard the doctors figures as
something of a floor in the
hunger picture. Malnutrition
and hunger, DR.. Finucane noted
are not exactly the same, how
ever.

Maryland.
Senator Goldstein, president
OF the Senate and chairman of

Gil, said that the conference.
designed to "solve all possible
areas of disagreement between
the two States" should be held
next month. He listed among
the points for study the gam
bling piers issue and the oyster
war between the two States.
The problems between the
two States seem to grow more
serious each year." Mr.. Bailey
said. Il think we should make
an effort to do something about
them. But, of course, the first
move should come from the two

director Of the agency.
If we had a child to place

these accomplishments:
He has no debts because I'VE

She was a secretary and served
in Government jobs in China

I'VE believe we can afford to

Parents Charge Boby'sIQ
Bars Second Adoption

The intelligence quotient of a
az year old adopted silver
Spring girl is barring the adop-
ton of a little baby sister or
brother for her, the parents say.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles E. DAM
eron, jr.. say they were told by
case workers of the Social Serv-
ice League of Montgomery Coun-
ty their blond daughter, Dori
Cameron, had a genius or near
genius" 10 of lat.
That factor forced the can
collation. of their application for
a second adopted child because
placing an average or below
average boy or girl with them
would be unfair to Dori and the
second child. they say they were
told.
rhis morning, Mr.. Cameron
expressed his concern they will
be forced into the gray or black
market in babies in order to get
a brother or sister for Dori.
Picks Tunes on Piano
The little blond beauty was
adopted from Germany in No.
vember. 1855. At 20 months she
was counting to 10. and exhibited
other signs of superior intelli-
gence with puzzles and blocks.
She learned to recite the Pledge
of Allegiance and is picking out
tunes on the piano.
AS Dori blossomed. the Dam
erons filed an application for a
second child. In April they were
nearing the top of the list. Last
month Dori was given the psy-
Geological tests which are part
Of the home study for prospec-
tive foster parents.
Then. Mr.. Cameron reported,
he was notified that Doris 10
set up the roadblock to the
second adoption. He said he
was refused permission to see
the test results and was given no
other reason for the agency's
action.
The Social Service League,
however, listed several addi-
tional reasons.
One was the modest" family
income--Mr. Cameron is a Dis
trict flreman-and another, the
lack of college degrees by the
parents.
THE Damerons are going to
have to give Dori a lot; 1t would
