airplane abandoned by its crew

Canada, and apparently came
down in Labrador-more than

Day Nursery
Sought by
Alexandra

Alexandria City Manager
Albert M. Hair, jr., said last
night he is negotiating with
the State Welfare Department
in an effort to establish a day
nursery for the children of
employed mothers.
The nursery would be set
up in the hope of averting a
tragedy similar to the fire
that took the lives Of six chill
dren on November 80. Most
of the victims, as well as five
other children who escaped
serious injury, were staying
with relatives at 1915 Duke
street while their parents were
working.
The lack of day nurseries lis
one of the most serious prob
lens we have" Mr.. Hair told
the city council. Re said he
hoped that private welfare
agencies might support day
nurseries if the State Welfare
Department takes the initia-
tive.
The Rev. John c. Davis, of
the Meade Memorial Episcopal
Church, warned the Council
that unless something is done
soon, there will be repetitions
Of this tragedy"
He estimated that 200 chill
dren in Alexandria are being
placed in homes, some Of which
are supervised by teen-age girls,
while the mothers are working.
There is a real crucial need
to face this problem in the
Metropolitan Washington
Area" he said.
The Council rejected two ap-
plications for day care nurseries
In private homes which do not
meet fire exit requirements.
In other action, the Council
approved an architectural
sketch Of q Sal, 900, two-story
Civil War museum at Fort
Ward. The Council also author
lied Mr.. Hair to negotiate the
purchase Of a l3.5-acre tract at
Polk avenue and Pegram street

The Public Welfare Advisory
Council today urged the Dis
trict Commissioners to LIBERAL
ize physical requirements for
foster homes and give the Well
fare Department the right to
approve them on the basis Of
the care the foster parents
would give.
The council approved the rec

critical overcrowding at jun

ton for youngsters whose own
homes are unsuitable. The
meeting was called by Council
Chairman j. e. Bindeman.

Junior Village last Friday,

capacity Of 800.
The council cited @ great
need for foster homes for Ne

age.
In addition to a change in
the requirements for foster
homes, the council also rec
commended:
That homes available for
only a short time be used. The

disapproves home If the fos-
ter parents don't expect to live
here more than two years. This

other families whose stay in
the area is relatively short.

Crash Probe
Is Critical of
Air Agencies

Congressional investigators
said today Federal aviation au-
thoritieS should have grounded
a nonScheduled airline plane
before the November 8 crash
that killed IA military recruits
near Richmond.
A House Armed Services spe-
cial committee also found "un-
certainty and indeciSion" re-
specting their authority by both
the Civil AeronauticS Board and
the Federal Aviation Agency
that should have been resolved
in favor of the public interest
rather than the industry"
The CAB attributed the dis
aster to inadequate manage
ment by Imperial AirlineS and
poor operation by the crew.
The CAB also held the possibil-
ity that some of the recruits
might have lived had they been
told about use of emergency
exits to escape from the flam-
ing cabin of the four-engine
transport.
The three-man House COM
mittee headed by Representa-
tive Hardy, Democrat of Vir-
ginia. noted that the supple
mental air carrier had been
under extensive surveillance"
during the 10 months prior "a
the accident and that Imperial
itself had been subjected to
l $50 man-hours of inspection
by the CAB and the FAA.
These facts make it all the
more difficult to understand
why Imperial's certificate was
not revoked until December Is, :"
the committee declared. That
date was five weeks after the
disaster.
The committee added it's be-
lief "that the extensive inspec-
tions should have provided am
pie reason for revocation prior
to the crash"
