Washington and chancellor Of

DR.. William P. Tolley. chan

District Law
On Adoptions
Is Defended
OfficioI Contends
Thot Is Protects
ChiIdren's Interest.
BY CARL IRVING
star stan writer

The District law regulating
adoptions was defended as con-
stitutional and in the best in
terests Of the children involved
today by the city.
Placement by adoption agen-
cies Is much more successful
than by private parties. Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Ted d.
Kuemmerling contended before
the Municipal Court Of APP
peals.
The case involved an appeal
by Frank L. Anderson, former
Prince Georges County Orphans
Court Judge. who was convicted
Of q violation Of the Districts
"baby broker" law.
Mr.. Anderson,s attorney.

that the law is unconstitutional
because lit denounces as crimi-
nal tthose) acts which are en-
tirely innocent and beyond the
reach Of the police power"
Law Called Vital
Such a law is vital because
successful adoptions depend on
many things which only o
trained specialist can cope with.
Mr.. Kuemmerling answered.
Too often, he contended.
couples want to adopt children
as a solution for an unhappy
marriage: merely as a playmate
for a child of their own, or as
q "cure" for the wife's nervous
ness.
Case workers look for appli-
cants who regard an adopted
child as something more than
a satisfaction Of their own
needs" Mr.. Kummerling noted.

was only providing legal serv-
ices for an adoption which was
already arranged between the
adaptive couple and the par
ents, MFR. Mckenzie argued.
Right Challenged
Congress does not have the
constitutional right, Mr.. Me-
Kenzie added. to pass q law
that says what Mr.. Anderson
did was illegal.
But similar laws have been
passed in 10 States which have
been successful. Mr.. Kuemmer-

Ike to Meet Nikita
 At Airport, Solving g Protocol Problems

WASHINGTON, R- President Eisenhower said Tuesday he in tends to meet Nikita Khrushchev at the airport when the Soviet premier arrives here Sept. Is.
 This resolved the protocol ques- ton of whether Khrushchev will be received as chief of state or as head of the Soviet government. If he were to be received as head of government, under strict pro- tocol, he would be welcomed by Vice President Nixon.
 Eisenhower told a news con- ference that as chairman of the Soviet council of ministers, Pre- mier Khrushchev in effect is head of state. '!
 There had been some indica- tions previously that something a little short of the full No. l cere- mony might be set up for Khrush- chev.
 The decision, however, was up to Eisenhower.
 Though unquestionably the real top man in the Soviet Union, Khrushchev is by title only head of government, or No. in the book. The titular Soviet chief of state is Klementi Y. Voroshiov, chairman of the presidiun of the Supreme Soviet.
 A visiting chief of state rates such things as an airport greet ing by his counterpart-President Eisenhower-in person. He also gets a 21-gun salute (the count is 19 for chief of government and a display of his country's flags on the parade route from the air port into town.

The new look in the Republican party in Alaska was unveiled on Monday evening at meeting al the Pioneer Igloo with Robert Groseclose, chairman of Alaska's Republican Central Committee, and Mary Elizabeth Lomen, presi dent of the Fairbanks Republican Womens Club. Mrs. Lomen is also vice chairman of the Central Dis trict Fairbanks) central commit tee. The meeting was called by divisional committeeman Carl Glavinovich and committee woman Susy Hermann.
 About 25 persons attended the meeting, held in the Pioneer lodge room which is being used as a museum of early Nome photo graphs and was somewhat of symbolic meeting of the old and the new.
 MT. Groseclose called for re- turn to basic politics and to the two-party system in Alaska. He reported on the Ketchikan con- vention in July and said that that group then determined to sell Republican principles to the peo- pie.
 Giving an Alaskan slant to the advise that we must return to the grass roots, Groseclose said Al askan COPS must reach to the permafrost level"
 MT. Groseclose announced the establishment of the United Re- publican Fund of Alaska, and memberships are available at $10 a year. Half of the money will go to the state organization and the rest will remain in the pre- cinct where it is sold Member ship tickets are available now from Susy Hermann and will be also available from the precinct workers.
 Mrs. Lomen explained her in- terest in politics: that she has no political ambitions, that her only desire is for good govern ment for the state and the nation. She said she attended her first political meeting two years ago, and now is president of the Fair banks Republican Womens Club.
 She said she feels that a way of life is being lost through gov ernment by minorities and the only way to return "the govern ment to the people, is to go out and knock on doors.
