LICENSING OF
CHILD CARE HOMES
IS l|j)WREQUIRED
Temporary permits for child care
have been mailed to the 27 child
ren's institutions in the Territory
in compliance with the new licen
sing law passed bv the 1951 Terri
torial Legislature, Henry A. Har
mon, Director of the Public Wel
fare Department said today.
The law, which became effective
May 15, provides for the licensing
and supervision of boarding homes,
foster homes, nurseries and insti
tutions caring for one or more
children under 1C years of age, not
related by blood or marriage to
the foster parents.
Welfare Sets Slantiarus
It designates the Welfare Depart
ment as the agency responsible for
setting standards lor the care of
children who for one reason or an
other are deprived ol 111? privilege
of living in their own homes, and
for issuing licenses. Mr. Harmon ex
plained.
The law also provides that a
temporary permit be issued to all
persons or institutions already car
ing for children at the time the
1951 Act .was passed. This provis
ion for 4 temporary permit was
inserted in order to allow time for
the Welfare Department to work
with the homes in formulating
regulation for their operation, Mr.
Harmon said, and to make the vis
its necessary before issuance ol the
license. ’
Permits Good to Nov. 15
The temporary permits are ef
fective until November 15 the dir
ector poiited out, but may be ex
tended if, due to Alaska's great
distance, the Welfare Department
Is not able to make the necessary
visits to each home and issue the
actual license before expiration
date of the first permit.
There is no fee for the permit or
the license and application for a
temporary permit should be made
immediately by persons operating
fester homes, nurseries, or day care
Cfnters for children, if they have
not already received one, Mr. Har
mon said.
Harmon Asks for Comments
These applications should be maae
to the Department oi Public Wel
fare, Box 2781, Juneau. Welfare
workers at Ketchikan, Juneau, An
chorage, Seward, Fairbanks anti
Nome will be glad to explain pio
vidons of the new licensing law to
anyone interested, Mr. Harmon
aid, a.id also comments and in
quiries will be welcomed at the
Territorial office in Juneau.
'The licensing law is not design
ed to hamper or close any child'
ren’s homes giving good child care,
n<,r is it to prevent the opening
of any new qualified children’s
homes," Mr. Harmon emphasized,
acdrng that: ’’Every encouragement
and support will be given to the
homes now operating and to thr
development of new chila care fa
cilities.”
'Many children of Alauka needj
foster home care,” he said, "and I
In carrying cut the respoa-.ibilitie.'
under this new Act, it will bo thi f
aim of the Welfare Department tr
cooperate with the homes in im- !
proving and maintaining the stan
dards of child care throughout the
Territory.”
Mr. Harmon stated that the Li
censing law defines homes, caring
.or children and coming under pro
visions of the Act, as follows:
” Boarding home or foster home”
means any establishment providing
regular care for less than six chil
dren not related by blood or mar
riage to the foster parents.”
" 'Nursery” means any establish
ment providing care and services
for any part of the twenty-four
hour day for any child not related
by blood or marriage to the owners
or operators.”
” ‘Institution” means any estab
lishment providing regular care
and services for six or more child
ren not related by blood or mar
riage to the owners or operators.

pelling enemy aircraft engaged in
offensive missions into Korea.
"We believe this would be a mini
mum reaction to extreme provoca
tion, would not itself affect ad
versely the attitude of the enemy to
ward Korean operations, would serve
as a warning, and would add greatly
! ,o the morale of UN pilots who
ire now prevented from taking min
imum defense measures and for
■vlioni in oase of bomber pilots it is
impossible under existing conditions
to provide adequate air cover.”
The telegram asked the embassies
to advise the reaction <5f the other
governments but said the United
States was not asking “concurrence”
i because the “hot pursuit” doctrine
"would turn upon military neces
sity and elementary principles of
self-defense.”
Demilitarized Zone
Acheson also testified that Gen.
MacArthur disapproved last Novem
ber a proposal for a demilitarized
zone on the Korean-Manchurian
border.
Acheson told senators that tpe
British, French. Canadians and
others had suggested such a zone.
This was before the Red Chinese
entered the war in force. Acheson
said the thought was that the zone
would make it clear there was no
aggressive intention by UN forces
against Red China.
The secretary said MacArthur
didn’t think the suggestion was a
good one and disapproved it.
Armistice Up To UN
Acheson said the United States
will consult the UN before making
any armistice in Korea. He held to
this stand despite insistence from
a Democratic senator that this coun
try should be free to act on its
own.
Senator Gillette tangled sharply
with Acheson both on the question
of an armistice and on President
Truman’s right in the first place to
send U. S. troops to Korea without
congressional approval.
Under Gillette’s questions, Ache
son said the U. S. commander in
the field has the right to "bring
about an armistice.” But he said
other UN members would be con
sulted.
Gillette’s Repudiation
Gillette said he doesn't agree that
is necessary.
1 "I may say that I deplore your
interpretation and repudiate it per
sonally,” he told Acheson.
It was Acheson’s fourth day and
the hearing was cut short so the

committee members could attend a
Senate session.
Aclieson’s Points
During his two hours of testimony
today. Acheson told the senators:
1. The United States counts on
; convincing other UN members that|
j the "Communists cannot shoot their j
>way“ into the U. N., rather than'
! figuring on a veto to keep Red China
t out of the international organiza
tion.
2. He thinks Russia had “com
plete domination" over the govern
ment of North Korea. He said: “It
certainly trained that army, and it
was an offensive army, armed for
offense."
3. The bombing of Manchuria in
his opinion “would have much more
| of a tendency to bring on a gen
| eral enlargement of hostilities” than
freeing Chinese Nationalist troops
on From os a to attack the mainland
of China.

bank robberies at Sw’eet Home, Ore.,
and Lebanon, Ore., in 194G.
He still was listed in critical con

UNEMPLOYMENT
DROPPED IN MAY
TO SMALL TOTAL
WASHINGTON, June 5 — f.fl —
Unemployment dropped in May tc
1.603,000 — the smallest total since
World War II ended in August, 1345
The census bureau reported today
that level was reached after a 137,
000 decline in the number of jobless
between April and May.
The number of employed civilians
meanwhile jumped 1,143,003 in May
to 61,193.000, highest in six months.
The upswing in job openings
brought 1,014,000 additional persons
into the labor force last month.

jobs — 795.000—opened up in farm

BIG MEETING
IS BLOCKED
BY SOVIETS
WASHINGTON, June 5 — f^P) —
Russia’s insistence on discussing the
North Atlantic Treaty and Ameri
can bases overseas apparently has
all but killed off chances for a
Big Four foreign ministers meeting
in Washington.
Diplomatic officials generally
agreed that is the effect of the
Soviet reply Monday to an Ameri
can invitation for the British,
French and Russian ministers to
meet here with Secretary Acheson
July 23.
It seems equally certain, however,
that diplomatic negotiations in Paris
and among the four capitals will
continue for awhile longer. There
is always a slight possibility at
least that a major change in posi
tion by one side or the other would
once more open the way for a min
ster.;’ session.
Deputies of the Big Four have
been meeting in Paris more than
three months. A long series of re
latively minor concessions, almost
entirely by the Western powers,
had advanced very little the efforts
to arrive at a ministers’ agenda.

northwest Alaska where he will
study reindeer grazing areas with i
special reference to winter range. J
He goes from here to Nome and |
will work out of there in his re

Twenty-seven thousand,- one hundred tons of fight

weight compated to some of the towering dread
naughts that make the U. S. Navy the mightiest
in the world. Your navy is in there slugging every
minute, doing its job to defend you and all of the

But remember, defense is your job, too! And one
of the best ways to do your job is to buy U. S. De

The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense

don’t save regularly, you don’t save at alL
So go to your company’s pay office—now—
and sign up for regular Defense Bond purchases
through the Payroll Savings Plan. In this plan,
you may save as little as $1.25—or as much as
you want—each week. If you can save just $7.50
