Two-thirds of American communities, lacking printer detention facilities for children, use jails for first offenders, many accused of no worse crime than running away. More than 3.00b,0w are truants from school Mure than 30,000 are without the foster homes and institutional care ohey need. At least l.ouo Institutions caring for children are operating with obsolete or worn-out equipment. All arc handicapped by shortage <>f trained social workers, doctors, nurses and personnel. The league's president. Leonard W Mayo, chairman of the Federal Commission of Children In Wartime and dean of Western Reserve University‘ti School of Applied Social Science In Cleveland, says federal funds are tipcestiary to insure education of children. He advocates a federal department of welfate to coordinate the wide variety of functions of existing <Aild cure bureaus. This information, disquieting us it is, should come out in the open. The league and lhe man heading it have reputations which make their utterances authoritative The plea Is for federal backing which would equalise child cate throughout the country and establish standards for Individual commuitiiy programs. — 0..—, , » ■- - < Modern Etiquette I 9y ROBERTA LEE 1 • - , Q Is it a cause for ein ba Tatsmeat when worn* person's name 1 has escaped one fore moment? ; A.

S—(UP) —General Douglas MacArthur’s occupation of Japan Is resulting in one of the greatest and speediest changes in the way of lite of a Whole people in modern world history. Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, said today. Addressing a meeting of the University Club. Halllle said that MacArthur’s plan tor dismantling the Japanese government, separating church and state, reorienting its system of education all were making terrific strides. Raillie described conditions in the orient as he found them on a recent trip In the course of which he interviewed General MacArthur. Emperor Hirohito and Gen rralislmo Chiang Kai-Shek. ' When I was there,” he said, "Japan was like a vast concentration camp run by Its inmates. At that time MacArthur had no plans for seeing that the Japanese got any food other than that which they could produce themselves. Ills recent report on the occupation. however, indicates that we are going to have to give some thought to sending them fowl In order to prevent a catastrophe which would make the military policing job even more difficult. "MacArthur is moving in more strongly on the Japanese ail the time. When the occupation began he declined, even when asked, to indicate whether or not he would approve certain leaders for cabinet posts. Now he has ordered the cabinet purged of all those who in the psst had anything to do with Japanese militarism. “This is a sharp and significant change in MacArthur’s policy and indicates the extent to which he has moved in on the Japanese government. now that the emperor has declared hiniself not divine. "MacArthur’s reorganization of the Japanese nation and his dismantling of their government is eclipsing anything anyone thought he would do or anything that was thought possible when he took control last fall.”

Hlmultaneously. a central news agency dispatch reported that the central Chinese government has reached a peace settlement with the rebellious Kaskhs In the remote Hlnklang province at the northwest corner of China, immediately southwest of outer Mongolia. Thia agreement, negotiated in the SiDkiang capital Urumchi (or Tihwal. granted the Kaxkhs a high degree of autonomy. Granting of independence marks the biggest official Chines* territorial loss io 1W years. However. outer Mongolia has been independent for practical purposes for a quarter of a century. China has maintained official sovereignty over the territory, but has been without administrative power there since 1920, when the Soviet Influence spread through the area.
