Birth Control

City Heads
Approve Proposal
To Give Devices
And information
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star stan Writer


The District Commissioners
today cleared the way for
establishment of municipality
operated birth control clinics.
Birth control devices and in
formation would be given at
the city Health Departments
maternal and child welfare
clinics.
Today's action by the Com
missioners was limited to adop-
ton Of q broad policy that
would permit establishment of
the new services.
The proposal was made by
Commissioner Mark Sullivan,
jr.. who supervises the Dis
trict's health and welfare mat
ters.
Asks Broader Program
Commissioner Robert e. Nc
Laughlin promptly agreed, but
made it clear that he favors
an even broader program.
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick j. Clarke was not present
at the board meeting.
The next step. it was ex-
planned, is for Mr.. Sullivan to
work out details with DR..
Daniel L. Finucane, head Of the
Health Department.
Last April. the District set
up q program Of birth con-
troll information at District
General Hospital.
Required to Give Data
Under this program. every
doctor in the obstetrics depart
rnent. including Catholic ply
sicians, is required to give
patients who request birth con-
troll information a card leading
60 services or the Flanned
Parenthood Association. Before
that time, the city had no
formal policy on this matter at
the hospital.
Mr.. Sullivan, who took ONCE |
as Commissioner last Septem-
ber. emphasized after today's
meeting that all the details Of
his proposed new program
have yet to be worked out.
Under today's action, the
Board of Commissioners
adopted a formal policy stating |
only that District employees are
permitted to give out birth |
control information and serv-
ices.
Questioned after the meeting, |
MIR. Sullivan said he had in |
mind that the new program
that would be meshed with the
present Health Department |
clinical services would include |
both information and birth
control devices.
The Commissioner also en-
phasized that care would be |
taken to completely respect"
the religious beliefs of the
clinic patients.
The information program at
District General Hospital would
remain untouched. he said.

Mrs. Kennedy Doubts She Wants Her
Newly Born Son to Rum For President

of Caroline. But Mrs. Kennedy is
adamant that the children will
not be left to the care of nurses
or the Secret Service.
She recalls a happy childhood,
and intends that her children will
be happy too.
Mrs. Kennedy grew up speak
ing both English and French and
intends for her children to have
an early association with litera-
ture, music and art as she did.
Jacqueline Bowler Kennedy
was born July %, 1929, in South
ampton, Long Island, N. Y. Her
father was the late John V. Bou-
vier, New York stock broker.
Her mother, the former Janet Lee
of New York, is now Mrs. Hugh
D. Auchinloss, of Mclean, Va.
Mrs. Kennedy attended private
schools, and made her debut in
1947 in Newport, RI. She went
to Vassar two years, spent her
junior year in Paris, and was
graduated from George Washing
ton University here.
Her only job was as an inquir-
ing camera girl for the Washing
ton Times-Herald. She was mar
ried to Kennedy Sept. IL, 1858,
at ST. Mary's Catholic Church,
Newport.
She took a course in American
history after she became the SEN
ator's wife, and says she expects
this sense of history to be i'm
parted to their children.

old-fashioned debut tea" the kind
she remembered from girlhood,
where old friends were invited to
meet the daughters of coming out

Mrs. Eisenhower launched her
neices, standing in a receiving
line with them and their mother

BY MARGARET KERNoDLE

WASHINGTON, Up The next
First Lady doubts that she wants
her new born son, John Fitz-
gerald Kennedy Jr., to be Presi-
dent.
Jacqueline Bowler Kennedy,
81, confidently plans a happy
home at the White House for him
and his sister, Caroline, 3.
But she said recently: "I'm not
sure I share the supposed dream
of American women to see their
sons be President - being Presi-
dent is one thing; you could not
help but be proud of that-but
running for the office is another:
An ordeal you would wish to
spare sons and husbands"
She acknowledged a feeling of
Illustration when she was side
lined during much of her hus-
bands presidential campaign
while she awaited the birth of
the son he predicted. But she also
admitted such delight in their
daughter that, she said, "I'd like
a lot of children"
She anticipates she'll find one
of her greatest joys at the White
House in spending much time
with their children to make up
for the fact that busy presi-
dental father just can't give them
all the time he'd like.
Recently she suggested that as
a mother: maybe you can just
throw away the theories when
thinking about raising a child.
The personality of the child seems
to guide you. Maybe if you start
with love, security and discipline
and just work from there {. the
raising would be more reWarding
all around and infinitely more
fun"
She's concerned about raising
her children in the limelight.
Her plans include new nurs-
cry in the White House which the
broWn-haired little son will share
with his blonde sister. He'll have
the same nurse, Luella Hennessey,
of Waldpole, Mass, who took care
