Child Funds

The District Citizens Ad-
visory Council has recommend
ed that the Commissioners
approve Welfare Department
requests for 1892 200 to aid de-
pendent children in the fiscal
1862 budget.
The money would be spent
as follows: $905, 200 for build
ing new school at Junior Viii
lage. $4,000 for increasing the
funds provided for care of de-
pendent children in foster
homes and institutions, and
$4,000 to expand the activities
of the Homemakers' Service
Agency to protect children from
dependency.
The. council yesterday also
recommended providing $38, 900
in the fiscal 1868 budget for
equipment for the new school
at Junior Village and $720,000
for the fiscal 1865 budget for
construction and operation of a
maximum security building for
dependent and neglected chill
dren with serious emotional
disturbances.
All of these proposals origi-
nally we're made in a report en-
titled what Price Dependecy?"
prepared by a committee of the
Health and Welfare Council of

Rejected by the Citizens Ad-
visory Council was a recon-
mendation by the Planning Ad-
visory Council that a District
Tree Council be established to
protect and increase the num-
ber of trees in Washington.
The council also urged the
Commissioners to press for ac-
ton on a bill now pending in
Congress which would provide
for licensing of practical nurses

Peru Asks OAS
To Make Peace
In Cubu Dispute
BY the Associated Press

The Organization of Amer
lean States prepared today to
have its foreign ministers at
tempt a peacemaking role in
the bitter dispute between the
United States and Cuba.
Peruvian Ambassador Juan
Bautista de Lavalle last night
asked the 21-nation OAS Coun-
Gil to consider calling an urgent
meeting of foreign ministers to
consider matters of common
interest.
The chairman of the coun-
Gil, Ambassador Vicente San
chez Gavito of Mexico, is ex-
pected to schedule the special
council session for tomorrow.
Only a majority vote will be
needed to call the ministers
together.
If the council approves, the
ministers could meet in late
July, probably in Washington.
Their talks could be critical for
the inter-American system.
Peru's move to ask the min
listers to meet followed by only
two days a Cuban appeal to the
United Nations Security Coun-
Gil to consider what Cuba
claimed was economic aggres-
sion by the United States.

Battle Gives
KennedyView
On Platform
The Stars Convention Bureau

LOS ANGELES, Calf, July
1.-THE new Democratic presi-
dental nominee has misgivings
about portions of the party
platform on which he will be
running, according to one of
his Virginia supporters.
The claim was made early to-
day by William Battle, who is
a personal friend of Senator
Kennedy and an active sup
porter of his nomination, al
though he belonged to the
Virginia delegation which was
committed by unit rule to
support Lyndon johnson.
Mr.. Battle said Senator Ken
nedy had told him there is a
lot about this platform he is as
sick about as we are-and he
authorized me to say that"
Mr.. Battle made the state
ment as he talked with Gov.
j. Lindsay Almond about get
ting Virginia behind Senator
Kennedy in the November
election.
A statement issued the day
before by Senator Kennedy.
however, embraced the plat
form, which Southern States
have protested because of its
civil rights provision.
Il am heartened by the Wig
orous platform which our party
has adopted-a platform which
1 can stand on without reser-
vation and which I pledge the
Democratic Party to carry out
If 1 am nominated" Senator
Kennedy said.
