Menace to Undiseased Chil
dren Cited by D. C. Sub
committee Head.
Abolition of the present Receiving
Home for Children—because of its
Inadequate facilities—was proposed by
Chairman Collins of the House sub
committee in charge of the District
appropriation bill during hearings on
the 1938 budget. The proposal was
written into the bill.
During testimony by Elwood Street,
director of public welfare, Chairman
Oolllns declared: “To be frank with
you, X think it should be abolished.’’
“I do not know where we would
put the children we are holding for
court action,” Street replied.
“I do not know- either,” said Col
lins. “but I think it would be better
tp put them on the streets than to
have them huddled there together,
with little tots 3 years old associating
with children with venereal diseases
and with criminals.
“They say that they use different
toilets, but the toilets are available
to all of them, and the ones they would
use are the ones the children afflicted
with social diseases would use. The
one I would go to if I were incar
cerated there would be the one used by
people with social diseases, because
it is the closest one to the daily ac
tivities of the Receiving Home. That
is the most convenient one."
Agree to Inadequacy.
Street: "We certainly agree that
the home is entirely inadequate, but
we must have a place for those chil
dren whom we are holding for court
action.”
Collins: "I think I am a pretty
good citizen, but frankly it is perfectly
terrible to my mind to take some
little t-ot 2 years old and let him be
associated all day long with some crim
inals or with somebody who is suffer
ing with social disease.”
Inspect Without Notice.
Street: "I agree with you.”
Collins: "From the social stand
point or from the standpoint of the
benefits to society, I think it would
be infinitely better to let those chil
dren be turned loose on the streets
than to be incarcerated in that home.”
Street: "I am glad that you say
that, because we all agree that it is
unsuitable for the purpose.”
Collins: "I had been told that it
was a perfectly terrible place and that
Is the reason we went there, without
any advance notice.”
Street: "Of course that is true
and we are glad to have you visit any
of the institutions at any time with
out advance notice. We know that
this is an inadequate institution and
represents far less than we should
have for the purpose, but it is all we
have."

Old-Time Bar vs. the Sit-Down
Is Debated in House Hearings
Advantages and disadvantages of the
old custom of upright two-fisted drink
ing at the old-fashioned pre-prohibi
tion bar as compared with the .nodem
sit-down method as required in Wash
ington was a topic of discussion during
the recent hearings on thfe 1938 Dis
trict supply bill before the House Sub
committee on Appropriations.
Isaac Gans, member of the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board, was on the
witness stand when Chairman Collins
questioned him about the number of
“drink shops" in Washington that
sell wine, be' and liquor.
“That is the C license,” said Gans.
“There are 327 of those. They sell
beer, wine or liquor, and the people
sit down to drink.”
“They all sit down?” inquired Col- :
lins. j
“Yes,” replied Gans.
“Why did you do that?” Collins
asked. “Was that because of the name

they gave to this strike that has been
going on lately?”
“No,” Gans answered. “We did
not want to come back to tha old-time
system, where they would stand up
for a drink and treat one another. If a
person orders a drink and sits down to
a table and eats something with his
glass of beer, when he ge*s through
he goes away. They used to stand
up to the bar and would stay there
and you could not get them away.”
“You think if a fellow is sitting he
can get in a moving position easier
than he can standing up?” asked
Collins.
“A fellow who will sit down and take
a drink," said Gans, “will probably
take a drink and go away, but the
fellow who stands up and takes a
drink will meet other people and then
he will get sociable and take a few
more drinks.”
