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.

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.
Over here, especially in Rome,
one would think that a woman's
needs and comforts were differ
ent from ours.
It's a mystery where clothes
are kept, unless under the bed.

Poor Light
The light is wicked. It makes
you feel as if you were losing

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
