Uncle Sam Goes Into Business Of Baby-Sitting By JANE EADS WASHINGTON. Uncle Sam has gone into the baby-sitting business. Units of the United S.ates Employment Service (USES) in various parts ol the conntry are now registering and classltying applicants lor oaDy sitting, and the projects are re ported a hrge success. The USES classifies the Job at "child monitoring" and goes on to explain that a child monitor could also be termed a bratter, child nurse or part-time sitter." The monitor is also dessrlbed as "one who complies with any reasonable request of a child." In Johnstown, Pa., where the project is sponsored by the Baby sitters Advisory Council of Greater Johnstown, in cooperation with the USES, more than 100 'teen-age girls received B. S. (Baby-Sitter) degrees after a briefing course. At Uniontown, Pa., the Penn sylvania State Employment serv ice conducts a course to teach would-be sitters that "the baby comes before the radio." The plan was set up In conjunction with the Fayette County chapter of the Red Cross, the Uniontown senior high school and local civic groups. Instruction is given in "attitudes and responsibilities, ac cdent prevention and simple first aid," and each sitter is equippeo with a pamphlet of instructions before taking a job. In the capital the government's , baby-sitter service, while stlli in the organizational stage, is go ing over with a bang. Mrs. Mil dred Mitchell, supervisor of the household unit of the local USES says her office is "swamped with requests." In addition to regis tering applicants Mrs. Mitchell sent out several thousand notices announcing the service to mar ried couples, picked from a Wash ington social listing. Mrs. Mitchell says she has listed among baby-sitters those who can mix a cooktail as well as change a diaper, or those who can help do a bit of housework while "sit ting." She has persons to fill all requirements. Her files show sit ters ranging from 16 to 70 years of age and of all nationalities. All have references attesting to their abilities, honesty, sobriety and de penadibility. The prevailing wage here is i5 cents an hour glus car-fare. Mrs. Mitchell says, however, that the range is from 50 cents to $1 with many folks only too willing to pay more if they can get a good sitter to mind Junior while they take a spin on the capital merry-go-round. Israel Defies United Nations Plan For City (By the Auoclated Preit) Israel has moved to make Jerusalem her permanent capital in defiance of a United Nations decision to internationalize the holy city. Some responsible diplomats at Lake Success speculated that a special spring session of the United Nations Assembly would be needed to deal with the problem. Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion said in a parliamen tary speech that the transfer of government offices .from ' Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would be speeded up. He said Israel had always planned to make the holy city its seat of operations. He called it "Israel's eternal capital." Ben Gurion and his personal staff left for Jerusalem Wednesday. At Lake Success the trustee ship council has voted to proceed with plans for trying to set up the framework for an Interna tional regime for Jerusalem. Many diplomats said Israel was presenting the U. N. with a fait accompli (the deed done) and the U. N. program looked impossible. Weyerhaeuser Co. Seeds More Logged-Off Land CENTRALIA, Dec. 15.

"Now I can find mother's grave and put flowers on It." Meanwhile, local merchants promised Bobby's Christmas would not be without gifts, includ ing a permanent movie pass. And Zartman said he was making ar rangements to find Bobby a new home "under different environment." Be sure your match is out be fore you toss it into wooded areas.
