Washington, Feb. 9.—The first

elements of che new deal program

species, according to information
gained this morning from Charles
McNeill, welfare officer.
Mr. McNeill stated that in
Wilkes, as is the case in many
other parts of the state, illigiti-
mate children from’ feeble mind
ed women are becoming a men
ace to society and is causing a
great burden on welfare and re-
11^ agencies. For this reason, he
said, he has taken the Initiative
in securing means whereby the
three girls may be sterilised.
The girls mentioned were re
cently sentenced to Samarcand
for prostitution and that insti
tution turned them down because
of the fapt that they were feeble
mlnd^ JTkey were then taken
to #111 for diagnosis by
Dr. who pronounced
them A^kltely feeble minded.
Duke'mspital in Durham has
consented to make the steriliza
tion operations without cost and
make only a small charge for
each day the girls must remain
in the hospital. The Welfare of
ficer stated today that the hoard
of county commissioners had
agreed to make arrangements to
meet the hospital charges, which
will be nominal due to the fact
that no charge will be made for
the operation.
Mr. McNeill stated further
that there are at least 25 feeble
minded girls and women in the
county and that if they were
sterilized that the influx of a
great number of feeble minded
offsprings might be prevented.
Sterilization is being practiced
by welfare agencies In some few
counties, according to informa
tion gained from Mr. McNeill,
and many communities are con
sidering the move.

capped by a shortage of seed this
year, according to a recent sur
vey by the U. S. Department of j
ployer actions, is openly on the
warpath. Business is complaining,
of too much governmental inter-,
ference, too much spending, too
little budget-balancing. 1
On the other side of the scales,'
the President finds his popular i
