Keeping Family Together Held Most Necessary By Volunteers Of America "Tho children should be con sulted first. They wpren't when they were brought here. They certainly should be now," I.t.-Col. Jessie F.

"The most necessary thing today Is to keep the family to gether," Colonel Starks added, "and we are doing all that we cun to accomplish this end." i "It Is positively pathetic the wny children feel nbout the brok en home. 'What are they going to do with us now?' they fre quently ask In discournged tones when brought to the attention of social workers." To lllustrato hor point Colonel Slurks told of a specific Instance, where the father "Just disappear ed" and the mother In an effort to "be gay" found no time for her three sons.

The Mont una n added there might be doubt as to the commit tee's authority to Inquire Into Can non's political activities, but thero was no doubt tho withdrawal to day amounted to contempt. Cannon has contended the com mltteo was without authority to Investigate his itctlvltles In. opposi tion to the presidential candidacy of Smith two years uro. He as serted that what he did was done as an Individual. He would still refuse to discuss It, he said. If he were summoned before the com mittee under subpoena.
