Thousands of strangers come to the city in May because of the race classic.

S. Bureau will celebrate its 50th birthday April 9. It was the first government agency for the specific purpose of protecting the interests of children. The idea for it came first in 1903, when Lillian Wald, nurse-founder of the Henry Street Settlement in New York and Florence Kelly of the National League proposed a biU for such an organization during the administration of President Tlieodore Roosevelt. But it was not until the administration of President Taft that the bill was passed in April, 1912.

It first was placed under the Department of Labor and Commerce but in 1913, was transferred to the newly created Department of Labor. There it remained until the newly created Department of Labor. There it remained until the creation of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) under the Eisenhower Administration. The initial concern was child mortality. At its beginning an estimated 124 of every 1,000 babies were dying each year.

Investigations showed that the major cause of iniant deaths was Irom conditions existing before birth. Instructions were issued to the mother for use before and after birth, on care of the child as well as of herself. Infant mortality rates decreased 74 per cent, from 99 9 per 1,000 live births in 1915 to 26.4 in 1959. Deaths of the mother decreased from 60.8 per 10.000 live births in 1915 to 3.7 in 1950, a 94 per cent reduction. Other realms ot bureau concern: dependent and neglected children, services to handicapped children, better care for premature babies, prenatal clinics, protecting the rights of parties involved in adoptions and rescuing children from sweatshops, mines, fields, and slave- labor wages.

Problems today include the care of children of working mothers, children in families of migrant agricultural workers, those who drop out of school, teen-age marriages and the network of problems in the fields of juvenile delinquency. Writh the population of children expected to reach 40 per cent of the national population in 1970 it is increasingly important to realize the importance of organizations for child care and protection, HEW' said. Abraham Ribicoff, HEW secretary, in announcing plans for the 50th anniversary celebration, cited the bureau for distinguished record in reducing infant and childhood mortality in preventive health and in helping neglected and delinquent Melvin A.
