IN WHITE HOUSE
YOUTH CONFERENCE
Nationwide participation in the
midcentury White House Confer
ence on Children and Youth is now
in full swing, according to George
F. Crisman, executive secretary of
the Alaska Commission on Children
and Youth, who has Just returned

attending an advisory council meet
ing in Chicago last week.
The council on state and local
action, which has just closed its
preconference meeting, was host to
150 persons representing the states
and territories, and two observers
from Germany and France.
Crisman explained that local ac
tion in Alaska encompasses partici
pation in the 1950 Midcentury

Youth, established by proclamation
of Gov. Ernest Gruening in Janu

local committees and the national
committee of the White House Con
! ference which is scheduled to be
■ held in Washington, D.C., next De
! cember 3 to 7.
! "The meeting in Chicago,” Cris
1 man said, “was one of the precon
I ference activities wherein the rep
(resentatives of the states and terri
tories reported on participation of
their citizens who are gathering the
facts which will form the basis for
subsequent action.
“The purpose of the White House
Conference is to consider how we
can develop in children the mental,
emotional and spiritual qualities so
necessary to individual happiness
and responsible citizenship, and
■what physical, economic and social
conditions are considered necessary
to this development," he continued.
"Of particular note to Alaskans
is the report of local action which
was made to the advisory council
regarding one of Alaska’s pro
gressive communities, Sitka. An ac
count of formation of the Youth
Progress Organization of Sitka was
received with a great deal of in
terest,” he said.

OF UN MAY
FLY IN KOREA
WASHINGTON. July 6 — lifl —
The blue flag of the United Nations
may be flown by Americans and
others fighting to stop the Com
munist invasion of South Korea.
Diplomats who reported this said
also that Gen. Douglas MacArthur
probably will be named United Na
tions commander for the Korean
area.
The United Nations flag is light
blue, bearing a polar map of the
world flanked by twin olive
branches.
Since the resistance to the in
vasion is under a call by the United

the Commanding General a U.N.
agent would further formalize the
arrangement by which aid was sent
to the South Koreans.
