o 9 tfhB MEDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, December 8, 1953 Resistance Core To Adoption of Asiatics Told by Creswell Man Gloria Swanson Puzzled Over Italian Style In Hiding Closets For Clothes Creswell. Ore. U.R) Harry Klt, the Oregon farmer who evened his heart and home to eight mixed-blood Korean war orphans, said stoday there was a core of resistence to non-Cau-casiai adoptions by Americans, particularly on the part of some private social agencies on the West Coast. HolPsaid the resistance, which he said was based on racial prej udice, was verbal on the part of agency r"sonnel and never was mentioned in published adoption plgns. Personaly Handled Adoption! An act of Congress enabled Holt to adopt his eight. .Korean orphans, offspring of American GI -athers and Korean mothers. He personally handled the adop tion details in Korean orphan ages. Referring to opposition to adoption of Asiatics, Holt said -he preferred not "to stick my neck out" but he referred to one private agency which he said was active in the foreign adop tion field and which appears to be placing roadblocks in the way of Americans who tried to adopt but European orphans. He declined to identify the agency by name. Other agencies, he said, had placed an age limit of 35 on par ents seeking adoptive children overseas. Holt and his wife are in their early 50s and he said he personally knew of hundreds of other couples In that age group willing and anxious to provide homes for alien orphans. Older couples, he said, were often better equipped emotion ally and financially to aid the i tiny war victims. ' Holt pointed out that orphans : in Korea were dying daily while j many Americans stood ready to j help if channels were open to j them. United - States federal agen- j cies, Holt reported, were coop- erating fully with Americans trying to adopt Koreans. He said that in his own case, unpreced ented in the history of American j philanthropy, the United States immigration service had cooper ated 100 per cent in expediting admissions of his eight young wards to this country. By GLORIA SWANSON Written For United Presi Rome All architecture in America seems to be designed with the thought of the needs and comfort of our women, whether in the home, at work or even in hotels. Each month there is something new con trived to make her work easier or living more comfortable.

It makes you feel as if you were losing your eyesight. And most certain ly is not conducive to being on the "best dressed women's" list. I would like these foreign architects to tell me why, as in a hotel where I am at present, the clothes cupboards (half- baked closets) are as far from to the tiny entrance hall to get in the one and only clothes cup board :a my suite. a bad idea for the early morn ing. - Often I've had to stand on a chair to see my hem, but now I can boast that I have full length trance hall by portieres (drapes).

It is inside the clothes cupboard on the door that opens up against the front door to the suite so, of course, no one can enter while you are admiring your head or your feet.
