To Feed 20 Million Children
s BY PETER EDSON
i NEA Washington Correspondent -
*WASHINGTON—A littie staff of 10 people head
ed by Maurice Pate is now embarked on the job
of trying to find ways to feed one 700-calory meal
aiday to' 20 million children and nursing mothers
ix{ war-ravaged Europe and Asia.
~4jSeven hundred calories is one piece of bread, a
potato, a pint of milk, a bowl of soup with meat.
;Six-loot, white-haired, blue-eyed Maurice Pate
worked with Herbert Hoover in the feeding of 15
n‘tillion children after World War I. In World War
Ii he worked on Red Cross prisoner-of-war relief.
.Last year he made the survey on children’s needs
for Hoover's food mission. Now he is director of
Ifiternational Children’s Emergency Fund—a Unit
e% Nations organization, set up last July. All 55
ni_tions approved it but only 29 are members.
"ICEF will inherit whatever UNRRA has left
after it goes out of business. How much that will
be won't be known till the end of 1947. It won’t
b’ much, for UNRRA will spend every cent it can
to do as much good as it can. :
:The figure of 20 million children needing aid re
presents only part of Mr. Pate’s problem. There are
4f) million children wider 18 years of age, includ
iqg 11 million orphans and half-orphans in con
‘tinental European cities. :
?Counti"y children are better off. But an estimated
30 million children outside the Scandinavian coun
tries have deficient diet.
+The need in India, China, the Pacific islands, is
c&nsidered equally as great, though there is no
u§ought of raising Oriental food standards to
European levels.
“Costfof the International Children’s Emergency
Fund program is estimated at six cents a day or
roughly S2O a year for each child. To feed 20 mil
lien children would cost S4OO million. Furnishing
ofe pair of shoes, one pair of socks and an over
copat to some 10 million children might cost another
0 million or more. : 2
%EK GOVERNMENTS’ HELP i
- ;For the time being ICEF is soft-pedaling all ef
forts to raise money by voluntary contributions.
An effort is being made to get governments to con~
tribute instead. Half of the S4OO million is expected
t@ come in the form of supplies from countries re
ceiving the aid. The other half would come from
di‘nor countries with food surpluses and charitable
.i.*;linations. ‘
4%Some time in the near future President Truman
»igexpected to send Congress a request for specific
appropriations to support the Children’s Fund, the
:St':mational Refugee Organization, the UNRRA
windup and other international relief activities. If
aid when he does, there will be complications.
~;To UNRRA the U. S. will contribute about 75
per cent of the $4 billion relief effort. For IRO the
U, S. quota is 47 per cent of a $l5O million budget,
or s7l million. For the S2OO million Children’s Fund
th_‘e U. S. quota may be between these percentages,
of from $94 to $144 million. Whether Congress will
appropriate any such sum is open to question in
view of the new Budget Comimittee cuts. :
{Also, the U. S. government is on record as op
p&sed to any general international relief programs.
'}aie policy is that future relief programs shall be
cq:'ried on in individual country programs.
NO NATION BARRED
YICEF does not plan to exclude any country from
r&eiving its aid. Germany and Japan and Korea
n@y be excluded because the armies of occupation
feeding the people there. But aside from those
:tas, any country—enemy, aliied or neutral—
would be entitled to ask the United Nations for:
aid. And certain elements in Congress do not ap
piove the idea of furnishing more aid to Poland or
2§§' Russian satellite countries—even if they?
e.
nless the United States leads the way on official
Jvernment grants for this world child-feeding,
t is slight prospect that other governments will
tribute heavily. The. United Nations has sentl
invitations to all its 55 member nations asking for'
afi. But it may be several months before any gov
egzients can act. : ; % 4
spite of these obstacles Maurice Pate and his'
lwtgrw by advisers Irom UNRRA, hope

| © “ ADVICE, NOT NEGATION
~ The venerable William L. Green, 74
next month and AFL president for 22
years, told a familiar story to the Senate
Labor Commiftee the other day.
Mr. Green said he opposed all “restrie
tive” labor legislation. He warned that an
attempt to outlaw the closed shop, juris
dictional strikes, and secondary hoycotts
would create “such great industrial con
fusion and undermine the present world
position of the United States.” He offered
such comments as “‘propagandistic hog
wash” on proposed labor bills.
This performance has been notably sue
cegsful in the past. Any threat of change
in labor's statig guo —— what Mr. Green
calle. Pestrietive legislation = has been
countered by threat of a wave of strikes.
That, plus thé thought of what union
members might do with their votes, has
helped to make congressmen think twice
and usually forget the whole thing.
But Mr. Green’s audience was different
on this visit. One new face belonged to
Senator Irving Ives, whose record in the
New York State Legislature had shown
him consistently sympathetic toward la
bor’s viewpoint. Freshman Senator Ives
threw Mr. Green something to think
about.
“Bear in mind,” he said, “that the pub
lic is demanding that something be done,
and in all probability something will be
done before this Congress gets through.
The problem is what to do. You can’t just
sit there and say ‘this won’t work and
that won’t work.” Don’t you agree some
thing has to be done?”
Now, congressmen don’t usually talk
like that to Mr. Green or to Mr. Murray of
CIO either. They have customarily heard
one side of the story from business and
induptry, the other from union officials,
and then accepted the fact that never the
twain would meet.
-This time, thowgh, another voice was
being listened to. It was the voice of that
publi¢ which Mr. Ives referred to, a class
less myajority which obviously wants to
see things done a little differently, and so
change the complexion of Congress.
Mr. Green, then, was up against a
stronger political force than his own. He
faced a fact which Senator Ellender of
Louisiana put to him rather bluntly: “We
want vour help. We don’t want a negative
attitude.”
That might serve for a motto above the
Labor Committee’s door where all special
pleaders could read it during these hear
ings.: There is no point in having Mr.
Green in thére one day saying “It can’t
be done,” ‘and a delegate from the Nat
ional Asgociation of Manufacturers in
therg the next saying “It must be done.”
Help. is needed from both sides in deal
ing justly with a situation that has to be
dealt with. Mr. Green may talk abont the
constitutional right of protection against
forced labor. But there are other rights
involved, too.
. ‘Members of some of Mr. Green’s rival
trade unions have no constitutional right
to. throw hundreds or thousands out of
work while they squabble over who shall
‘do some small job of earpentry or plumb-
ing or furniture moving. :
Thg real objective of Congress is not to
outlaw strikes but to halt some indefen
sible practices which injure the publie
welfare.

to be bartered on forei;n goil in between
a round of cocktail parties, receptions,

Harry Thaw Once Made Headlines But
At Death Was Unknown To Neighbors
BY HAL BOYLE..
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 26
-—(AP) — Harry K. Thaw, once
America’s most notorious mill
ionaire, goes to his grave no
more than an empty name to the
rising generation. ’
For 25 years after hé shotio
deatly Stanford White in June 25,
1906, over the affections of Ev
elyn Nesbit — Thaw’s court bat
tles and playboy escapades made
him the most publicized man of
wealth in the nation. His life
read like a case history {rom
Freud. el
Yet when 1 mentioned his
name to a young taxi driver
wihiile enroute to the Miami Beach
waterfront home where Thaw
died the youth did not recognize
his name.
“Never heard of him,” he said,
and added apologetically, ‘“but
I lived faere in Miami all my life.”
That is a measure of the ob
livion into which the madcap
millionaire retreated more than
fifteen years ago when he fin
ally gave up his headline-pr@-
ducing antics. ke r{‘

hair and small moustache. Al
though he once had tossed away
$1,500 a night ori gay parties; he
was a conservative in mongy
matters. He disapproved of the
New Deal and considered hims
self a staunch Republican in
politics.
As we cat in beach chairs on
the lawn of the rented 15-room
home where Thaw had wintered
so quietly the last two yearg few
neighbors knew his identity, his
attorney, Sidney Werner, gave
this last portrait of the man:
“Thaw didn't like gambling
in any form, He was reticent and
didn’t express fiis moods or feel-
ings.
“He was one of the gentlest
and kindest of souls, and anyone
who was in close contact with
him became genuinely devoted
to him. >
“His philosophy was to help
nthers who needed it — and with
the least possible fanfare. He
helped many poor people and sent
a number of boys and girls
through school. But it upset him
if Tais charities became known.
Fanatic For Truth
“He was a fanatic for the
truth. I never knew him to tell
a lie L
“He very seldom went to night

“I do not believe he saw Eve

Although Thaw spent some
eight years in insane asylums and
took no ‘active interest in busi
nesg affairs, Werner said he.had
“a very keen mind.” :
In il] health since a paralytic
stroke' left him with an impaired
