Boys Town Choir Thrills Near-Capacity Audience f ■ ■ I ■■ !■ I ■ •

| Fifty singing ambassadors from i Boys Town attracted a near-ca-1 j pacity audience to the Decatur; junior-senior high school WednesI : day night, proving themselves a living monument to the late Rt. Rev Msgr. Edward Flanagan. In resonant, clear tones they proved their mettle by presenting a program which ranged from sacred music to Jerome Kern. The soloists were handicapped by poor acoustics, but the audience acknowledged their talent with long bursts of applause. The many children who heard the choir behaved perfectly, sitting enthralled in the atmosphere ■of inspiring choral music. The I Rev Francis Schmitt, director, was ; lauded for the accomplishments of his boys and the dynamic way he led them. i Sponsored by the Psi lota Xi sorority, the concert was acknowl- i edged to be the musical high-spot' i of the year. The memory of their 1 angelic voices, their irresistible! I costume changes, and their un- [ I usual musical talent will linger i i long with those who attended. Proud of Beys Town Mike Bosnia, a b,ond. blue-eyed ' boy with polished manners, is a 12-year-old Boys Town citizen hailing from Branchville. Md He has been i at Boys Town a little more than i a year, and has been singing soprano in the concert choir tor , i half that time. I i "We've been travelling since [ i October 3.” he recalled "Get's | tiresome, but we love to sing, i i even if some of the selections were 1 1 hard to learn."

IS —(UP) —1‘ An American Legion national commission urged today that steps be ' i taken “instantly" to get food to I' China despite a Pacific coast dock strike it said had the effect of "a ! Communist blockade." 1 i "We believe that our Pacific coast ports are undergoing what i is in effect a Communist blockade." said a report by the national foreign relations commission. "We urge that instant steps be taken ■ to break through that blockade in order to permit an adequate flow i of necessities to China." The report was presented to the Legion's national executive com-! i mittee at the opening of a threeday session. The executive committee did not vote immediately on whether to adopt it. Earlier, national commanded Perry Brown of Beaumont, Tex., put the Legion on record as opposing . any efforts to abolish the house unAmerican activities committee The foreign relations commission said it had been asked "whether | the dock strikes on the Pacific coast were fostered by sympathiz- j ers with Communism for the pur- , pose of aiding the Communists in i China." "What we know is that the Pad-

Singing second bass, he has been in the choir for four years, having travelled from Maine to California, and back again. Jack has his eyes set on Loyola university, in California, for when he leaves Boys Town, though he isn't sure just what he wants to be after that. He led the group of boys who told the press, "Don't forget to write we said Boys Town is just wonderful." Dusky Mai Vincent. 16. came to Boys Town a little more than a year ago when he got in trouble in Chicago. “How can you help but go straight at Boys Town?" he asked. "There's nothing there but good influences, nothing to teach you anything wrong. Through kindness and understanding, no matter howbad you might have been before, they raise your own confidence and make a good man of you." He emphasized that there are no racial or religious barriers at Boys Town. "Everybody's the same there; it's wonderful.” he said.

"We emphatically feel it to be our duty to call public attention to the serious consequences if essentials are delayed in reaching their destinations. "We regard food for China and materials for Europe as an important part of the world-defense against Communist aggression." The commission, headed by Leon Happell of California, urged strengthening of the I'nited Nations. said the European recovery program was "beginning to create stability." and praised the "continuity and firmness of our Berlin policy " as “gratifying." "We consider the Berlin policy is the strongest defense against Communism in Europe." the report said. “Also that it is the most effective means of preserving peace if coupled with vigilance against any new upsurge of Nazi militarism."

IS—(UP) —Two Chicago social workers charged today that illegitimate babies are being sold to childless couples in this area for $2,000 each. Anna Louise Buck, head of the family welfare division of the Illinois welfare department’s office

here, and Marion Craine. welfare ‘ worker for the council of social ■ agencies, said child welfare org- ! anizations have known of the ! illegal operations for “five or six 1 years.” Miss Craine said they believe the baby selling racket is “fairly widespread” but they have been unable to learn exactly how extensive it is. She blamed the situation on lax' state laws. "The racket continues because the laws of the state aren't particularly strong on who may place babies." she said. The problem has existed for several years. Miss Buck said. There has been no recent increase in the number of complaints, she I said. "It's just something that will continue to trouble us until the state adoption laws are strengthened.” She said attempts are made at

every session of the legislature to correct the deficiencies in the law, “but nothing ever comes of it." A few days ago, Miss Buck said, someone complained to the agency that a friend had pqid $2,000 for a child. “We tried to obtain the names of the mother, doctor and others connected with the case," Miss Buck said. “But. as usual, we ran up against a stone wall." . Miss Craine said the fees on baby sales go to middle-men—doc-tors. nurses, so-called hospital superintendents, lawyers and others who fleece prospective foster parents of “all they can get.” Such couples are eager to adopt i foundlings through ‘black market' sources because legitimate'orphanages have long waiting lists. The social workers said that ; babies of unwed girls often are born in hospitals, maternity
