For SWimsuit
Appearances

DENVER. Aug. rs CAP)-
Public appearances of President
and Mrs. Kennedy in bathing
suits have been criticized by
the Rev. Willis j. Ray, execu-
tive secretary-treasurer Of the
Colorado Baptist General Con-
vention.
DR.. Ray, a Southern Baptist,
voiced his objections in a letter
mailed Thursday to Senator
Morse, Democrat Of Oregon.
DR.. Ray wrote:
From the pictures appearing
in the daily press. it apears
that all decorum, dignity and
decency has been thrown over
board by our President and the
First Lady.
THE garb Mrs. Kennedy has
on does not reveal that of a
First Lady Of our Great U. S.
We believe she should honor
the position to which the pub
lie has elected her husband.
IF the President and First
Lady Of our land throw dignity,
decency and decorum out the
window to satisfy their youth
and fleshy pleasures, it appears
that the standard of decency
and dignity is taking a new
low In our grand United
States"
The letter to Senator Morse
added. II don't know whether
you, the U. S. Senate, the Su-
preme Court. or anyone else
can do anything about It,"

One of the Labor Depart

1t has shown its concern

by robot contrivances that clink

offices and fields.
Now. suddenly. the Labor
Department seems to have cast
its lot with the robots. 1t has
installed one as a press agent.
And by so doing it has put
automation in the field of pub

The Board Of District Com
missioners has been advised to
give child welfare aid to homes
where the husband is able
bodied but without income
provided the man will accept
a public works job.
The plan. already being given
serious consideration by District
officials. was indorsed yester-
day by the Public Welfare Ad-
visory Council.
Under the city'S current well
fare rules. the aid-to-dependent
children program is limited tc
families where the husband is
absent. incapacitated or dead.
Under the councils recon-
mendation, this program would
be expanded to homes where
the parents either are married
or have a common-law mar
riage relationship.
The new families covered by
welfare would, with the hus-
band working at a municipal
job. receive the same relief pay
ments as are given now in the
child welfare program. The
payments depend on the num-
Der of children and on their
ages.
Against Expansion
The council yesterday voted
against expanding the welfare
program to the home where the
mother has a paramour. BY a
4-3 vote. the advisory group
recommended that the welfare
department assign social work
ers to these homes.

ton by council chairman j. E

and Robert N. Miller. Voting
against the motion were Miss

In explaining his stand, DR.
Cornely said the proposal woulc
increase the caseload for the
already overburdened welfare
worker.
The advisory council also
voted to urge city officials tc
develop some plan that would
avoid penalizing the children
in homes where they are in
eligible for relief because the
mother has a paramour.

orator and made the ruling at
q meeting last January to hold
off cancellation of his cotton
allotments.
In a statement yesterday the
undersecretary said no presSures
or improper influences had any
effect on his decisions. He dealt
with all of them. Mr.. Murphy
asserted. strictly on the merits
as I saw them"
Another department witness
is expected to be called ahead
of Mr.. Murphy for brief teSti-
mony. He is John Francis of
the personnel office. Mr.. Francis
wrote a memorandum opposing
the appointment of Estes as a
member of the National Cotton
Advisory Committee. In spite
of this, Mr.. Murphy named him
to the committee on the same
day department officials de-
cided to cancel his 1861 cotton
allotments on grounds that
they were obtained illegally.
Jacobs Ends Testimony
The way was clear for Mr..
Murphy's appearance when the
subcommittee late yesterday
completed 2l2 days of question
ing Emery E. Jacobs, a former
department official who has
figured prominently in the
Estes case.
Mr.. Jacobs left the subcom-
,mittee with numerous conflicts
in sworn testimony on its hands
as he disputed much of what
had been heard from some Ag-
Ftculture Department witnesses.
The sharpest contradiction
was Mr.. Jacobs denial that he
instructed Thomas H. Miller to
write a report favoring reten-
ton by Estes Of his disputed
cotton allotment. Mr.. Miller
had testified to this effect ear
lier in the week.
Under a barrage of questions
Mr.. Jacobs stuck to his denial
and his version of what hap
pened in the department in
connection with the Estes case.
In the end he won an accolade
from Chairman Mcclellan,
Democrat of Arkansas.
II commend you for the
manner in which you have
testified" Senator Mcclellan
said. He added that he had OBJ
served no evasion on Mr..
Jacobs part and that he had
been frank and cooperative.
IF you have not told the
truth" the Senator said. "the
only conclusion is that you
testified falsely and delibera-
tely."
Mr.. Jacobs said he had told
the truth and thanked the
committee for allowing him to
relate his side Of the story for
the first time in public since
he was fired" as he said, as a
result Of the Estes case.
Denies Estes Paid
Before completing his testi-
mony, Mr.. Jacobs denied that
Estes paid for expensive cloth
ing costing more than $1,000
which Mr.. Jacobs obtained at

visit to the store with Estes
