TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY. MARCIT 16. 1920 . H , . . . - ' CDlVIIVilSSIDN MERELY! COMPLIES Information Asked Wanted for Full Record. OBJECTIONS NOT TENABLE Many Institutions Have Already Sent In Cards and Others Are Expected to Reply Soon. That the child welfare commission was merely complying with the law In asking- for individual records of all the wards of child-caring agen cies in Portland was the- answer given yesterday by Franklin Thomas, chairman of the commission, in reply to objections voiced by several local institutions. It had been claimed by the Waver loy baby home, the Boys' and Girls' Aid society, the Pacific Coast Res cue and I'rotective society and pos sibly one other organization that by divulging personal information to the commission it would no longer be confidential. Another contention was that the law requires homes to ac count only for the relationship and location of its wards. The commission has called for a number of additional facts, about 27 in all. and in order to catalogue them sent out blank cards for each child in each Institution. This card." said Mr. Thomas yes terday, "was sent out when Dr. E. w. DeBusk was still chairman of the commission and before I was made a member. When I came on a num ber of replies had already been re ceived, but a few had not complied with our request. We sent out an other note asking them to do so within a reasonable time. We have had several answers, but three or four continue to withhold the Infor mation. Law Contain Another Clause. 'There should be no objection to the request, a the same 1919 law, which has been quoted as limiting us to two items, also contains another clause reading as follows: 'The commission Is hereby given right of entrance, privilege of inspection and access to all accounts and records of work and children for the purpose of ascertain ing the kind and quality of work done and to obtain proper bases for deci sions and recommendations.' "The institutions that have already filled out the cards have made no complaint. We aren't assuming that any of the institutions are doing bad ly by their wards right now. but the personnel of their boards may change In time and a case might come up where we would have trouble and would be found without complete rec ords. "If we have a right to access to the records we aren't violating any laws by asking to have copies of these rec ords. If we haven't a right we want to be reasonable about the matter. "I am sorry this matter has been rushed into print. I should have been more than glad to talk it all over with representatives of these agen cies, but thus far only one society has shown any desire to do so. In fact, except for what I have heard indirectly, I have no knowledge of any objections being raised against our procedure. I have Just had a conference with the trustees of the Boys' and Girls' Aid society at their invitation and the conference was a most pleasant one. They raised two or three objections to our question naire which I shall carry to the com mission. Matter Easily Adjusted. "Personally I feel sure that the whole matter can be adjusted with them without further difficulty. All of which goes to show how much better it is to get together and talk things over than to rush our objec tions into print. "As to recent public statements at tributed to W. G. MacLaren of the Pacific Coast Rescue and Protective society with regard to giving data as to health of its wards, I have nothing to add to what I have already said. I have seen Mr. MacLaren three times since the questionnaire went out and he did not say one single word about it. I am loathe to believe that he would make the statements attributed to him without first making known his objections to me."
