For Help With Korean Adoptions

was in the sawmill business,"
said Holt, ' all I could talk about
was the lumber business. Now
all I can talk about is orphans."
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

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

would be on an equal basis with

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.

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.
