Feeling Of Neglect CORTNER EXPLAINED that children reared in an institution get an acute feeling that they do not to Despite everything you can do for children in an institution they suffer from the lonely feeling that no one cares for them. However from a standpoint of health institutional care of children is above that of any similar sized group in the state. The four nurses and visiting physician. Dr.

Ralph Dyer, get after every minor ailment of children in the home and head off serious epidemics. Not more than nine children have died in the home in the past 25 years.

a Rotarian from Warsaw. The program was introduced by Lawrence Clark. Gypsum, commonly called plaster paris, has been developed into thousands of uses in industry and building. One of the most important uses being molds for precision castings for airplane parts. Many of these castings are made in finished form and do not require machining.

Especially Is gypsum useful in making small castings weighing but a few ounces, and up to large castings for planes and engines that weigh several tons. Auto body designs are molded in gypsum for the large punch presses. In the building industry gypsum is indispensible because of its firmness and fire resistance. It also Ls used in air-cooling construction as well as for walls and partitions in the tall skyscrapers. For interior decorations for theaters and churches and other interiors gypsum has taken the lead Fireproof roofing is made of gypsum and enough lathing is used to build 3,000 houses every day.

Calcium, a by-product of gypsum, is used extensively in fertilizing fields of corn and wheat. The film showed the many uses and how the product was mined and prepared in the mammoth mills throughout the West. Other Rotarians present were Merrill B.

House Republicans Demand End Report ll New To Uncertainty Over Adjournment Cases Of Polio; Washington, July 26 (ZP) House Republicans demanded today an end to the uncertainty over the date for adjournment of Congress.

And if things cleared up in a hurry, they hinted, they may fight any move to keep the Senate and House in sessions after July 31. This is the adjournment deadline fixed by the 1946 Congressional reorganization act. Republican leader Martin of Massachusetts told reporters he would demand a showdown tomorrow by publicly asking 1 he Democratic leadership what it intends to do. Specifically, Martin, said, he will ask Speaker Rayburn if it is the intention of the Democrats to follow the July 31 deadline set in the reorganization act. If they intend to follow' it, Martin will want to know why, and how much longer the session will last.

question taka Rayburn by surprise. For several weeks the House leaders have been debating whether the reorganization provision is binding this year because technically the nation still is at war. The reorganization act says Congress shall adjourn not later than July 31 of each year except in time of war or national emergency, or unless Congress extends the session by affirmative action. Both Martin and Rep. Monroney (D co-author of the reorganization law.

There is no use taking a chance, Martin said. Behind the maneuvering is a desire on the part of many members that a definite adjournment date be set immediately so they can make their future plans. No such date has been set, but Democratic leaders are talking about a September I deadline. They still hope for action on a minimum wage bill, a bill extending social security coverage, and the foreign arms aid bill.

Washington, July 26 publican backers of military aid for western Europe moved today to cut by more than half President $1,450,000,000 foreign arms program. Greeted with a storm of criticism, the proposal seemed to have headed the bipartisan foreign policy toward one of its severest tests in Congress.

Senators Vandenberg Mich. 1 and Dulles N. Y. 1 who have taken active parts in trying to keep that policy alive, were obviously irked that the State Department had ignored them advice to submit only a token arms program to a Congress already fretting about foreign spending. They felt themselves open to attack from GOP colleagues on the 0round that the administration seemed to be making cooperation a one-way street.

Nevertheless, the two were reported working with Rep. Vorys Ohio) on an alternative plan. Under it Congress might be asked to approve a $77,000,000 outlay to forward $450,000,000 in surplus military equipment to North Atlantic pact signers and make about 200 000,000 more available to buy new equipment for them at home and abroad. This would be in addition to about $325,000,000 to continue arms aid for Greece and Turkey, the amount the President asked. Thus the total cash outlay under the alternative plan would be less than half of the total sought by Mr.

Truman. He also asked the $77,000,000 for repairing, packaging and shipping surplus supplies along with about 1 000 000,000 for new equipment for eight Atlantic pact signers. This alternate proposal, just taking shape, represented the first move toward compromising a program that stirred a storm of criticism from both Democrats and RepubUcans.
