Holt was here last week talk ing about the plight of hun dreds of babies in Korea and else where around the globe, where ever U.S. soliders are and have would like to adopt them. Holt has personally brought i about 400 orphans to new homes the orphans of. in this country from Korea the American s o 1-j past two years, plus eight he and Mrs. Holt have adopted themselves. He has faced prob lems at every step of the way. "When we first went over there two years ago," he re called, "the American embassy wouldn't even admit that it was possible to adopt those orphans unless the parents went there in person. It took us four months to get that straightened out." Proxy Adoptions He explained that he was pre pared to make the adoptions on a proxy basis for parents who didn't have the money to go to Korea so that "the poor family V check these great Wednesday Specials . . . on sale tomorrow only at Mann's special purchase!

Holt was profuse in his praise of the help he received then and ever since from Sen. Richard I Neuberger, none of this would j have been possible," he declared. I The Holt girls out in Korea paint a graphic picture of con I ditions in their letters written every few days to the Oregon j senator. Here are some excerpts: I "Yesterday we received four I more children making 48 in 24 days. One is a beautiful four year-old girl with curly brown hair. She has had polio and should be in the States receiv ing treatment. She just has to sit until someone comes and moves her to another place. Today we are very happy as the sun is shin ing and the clothes are drying but yesterday it rained and we had quite a time as there weren't enough clothes as they all got in the wash. It takes a lot of clothes for 64 children. We hope you can help us." Everything Expensive i "It is very hot today. I took our little boy that had polio to the hospital walked back a long ways with him on my back. Everyone thought he was my own boy. We have written to the commanding general of the army here and asked if he could help get some food supplies for us at cost through army sources. We .must buy everything on the Korean market and it is so ex pensive. It seems that the army could help out its own children." "It rained today, so we are short of diapers again. Barbara was up all night last night, not only do we have to feed 30 bottle babies, but it takes all night to boil water for the next day. Many Will Die "Many of these little ones will die if they have to stay here all summer. Is there any encourag ing news at all? Even as the Lord provided relief last winter, we are praying he will move the hearts of our legislators before the terrible summer comes. The little ones are crying in the next room, so I must close now." "The weather is hot already, and there are many flies. Soon conditions will be impossible. 1 wonder how many of these little ones will die here because Con gress has been so slow passing your bill (to reopen the orphan admission program). Are there those that oppose these little ones being adopted to American families (Holt has had inquiries from nearly 10,000 f a m i 1 i es wanting these orphans for adop tion)? Do they think we will overpopulate America with her great wealth of land and re sources? Would we refuse to al low these little ones a home, who resemble so closely their Amer ican fathers?" Only Congress can answer their questions. 4-H Ckib News Stitch and Chatter Club The Stitch and Chatter 4-H Sewing club was organized at I a meeting May 23 at the home of Mrs. Dodge.

Aircraft Manual May Hold Clue lo Disastrous Crash Washington (IP) An air line pilot, thumbing through an aircraft manual a few weeks ago, may have stumbled on a solu tion to the mysterious crash of a Northeast airlines DC-6A in Rikers Island, N.Y., last Feb. 1. Twenty person's were killed. The manual, that ot another airline but covering the opera tion of its DC-6's, contained this sentence: "If the trim tab is moved and no response is noted, move to center immediately or a violent maneuver may result." Devices Keep Flight Level Trim tabs are devices to keep an airliner's flight level. They are small, adjustable slats on the wings and rudder. Pilots set them to compensate for any weight shifting inside the plane. such as passengers moving about. Only in this one manual was there any reference to an ap parently jammed trim tab. The Northeast DC-6A, taking off for Miami in a snowstorm, yawed sharply just before crashing. It was that swift, unexplained veering off course which puzzl ed investigators. It occurred so fast the crew did not even re member it happening. To the trained mind and eyes of the pilot, Checking that manual, the evidence pointed to a suddenly released trim tab in the rudder. The United Press learned of the suspected rudder trouble from a member of the Airline Pilots association (ALPA) Safety committee which aided in the Rikers Island probe and spent $20,000 in union funds in the process. Plane Put Through Paces "We had borrowed a DC-6 and put it through everything in the book, trying in vain to du plicate that sudden turn to the left," the pilot said. "Finally, we started looking through DC-6 flight manuals for the various lines using the ship and came across that one sentence. Ap parently just this single compa ny had once experienced some trim tab difficulty and inserted the warning in its manual." The safetygxpert explained that the rudder trim tab on the Northeast plane may have been frozen by ice just before take off. As the plane climbed into the warmer air strata, the ice could have melted and released the. trim tab so suddely the crew had no time to react. One Million Group Raps Trade Decision New York TO The commit tee of one million, a group op posing the admission of Com munist China into the United Na tions. Monday attacked the Brit ish decision to increase trade with Red China. The group called the move a step towards "strengthening the aggressive power of the Peiping regime." The committee issued a state ment which it said was aimed at "those nations abroad who have indicated that they plan to drop trade restrictions with Commun ist China." The statement warned that trade with Red China was "trad ing with the enemy" and would "contribute to the destruction of a free economy," because of Red China's massive slave labor force.
