Washington. (UP) — American military government officials in Germany have reported to the war department that there are 50,000 and a proportion number illegitimate children in Berlin alone throughout the country.
Homeless Nazi Children Pose Problem to U.S.
The Nazi desire for an increased birth rate and a resultant state sanction on illegitimacy was given as the cause. By law the Jugendamt (welfare department) is the legal guardian of every illegitimate child born in Germany, the report stated.

Most of these children are placed in foster homes or institutions when they cannot be given care by their mothers or by relatives. The child may be placed for adoption when the mother grants permission.
German child welfare authorities report to the military government officials that the whereabouts of many of the mothers is unknown and hence it is impossible to place their children for adoption. They have more requests for adoptions than they have children who can be placed.
Under the Nazi system, all foster or adopted children were placed in homes of "reliable party members" irrespective of the welfare of the child. Military government authorities are reviewing these placements, which were made prior to the occupation.
The child welfare and youth programs of the Nazi Reich collapsed with the capitulation of Germany. Occupation forces were faced with the problem of providing care for expectant and nursing mothers, indigent and working mothers, orphans, illegitimate homeless children, neglected and handicapped children and juvenile delinquents.
Child authorities are faced with the serious problem of caring for a large number of children evacuated during the war from areas subject to air attacks. Many of these children started homeward without assistance from welfare authorities when the war ended.
Miss Average America Is A Mess
Chicago. (UP) — The average American man is no prize, but the average American woman is a mess, Dr. Wilton M. Kroggan said today.

Krogman, professor of anatomy and physical anthropology at the University of Chicago, already has classified the average man as a skinny, balding, half-toothless individual. He believes Miss and Mr. America would make a perfect match.
Just for a comparison, here's how his picture of Miss Average America stacks up with the dimensions of Marie "The Body" MacDonald, one of Hollywood's most curvacious beauty queens:

'Style,' Not 'Love,' Is Principal Attraction In Dress Designers' Attendance at Movies
Hollywood. (UP) — A few hundred of the millions who see movies in the United States every week don't go for the plot, the romance or to see their favorite stars. They go to study up on the latest in movie fashions.
Designer Travis Banton found that out when it was announced that he was creating 13 gowns for Lucille Ball, described in the script of Universal's "Lesson in Love" as "the best-dressed girl in America."
"They don't care whether Brent or the 'other man' gets the girl—or which
"The minute the story hit print I was snowed under with letters, telegrams and long-distance calls from designers and gown manufacturers all over the country," Banton reported.
"They'll be sitting there in the dark theater, sketch books on their laps, pencils poised for a quick outline of the gowns," he prophesied.
They wanted to find out when the picture would be released and it was pretty apparent to Banton that they weren't half as interested in what Miss Ball was going to do as in what she was going to wear.
girl. They come to see what is being done in Hollywood in the way of new fashions."
And after seeing the gowns, we can assure the designers that Hollywood is doing plenty.
The attitude of the women's wear industry, Banton learned, is no different from that of furniture manufacturers, architects, interior decorators and other businessmen.
"They have learned that Hollywood tries to keep a jump ahead of the rest of the country in everything it does." he opined. "So sharp-eyed specialists scout all the big pictures with an eye to getting a headstart on their competition.
Naturally, the screen has to forsee future trends and try to guess when the public will be wanting and wearing when the movie is shown a year from now."
That's why a few moviegoers ignore the action to get a new fashion trend or innovation in interior decoration down on paper before it's too late. And the studios don't care — as long as they pay the price of admission.
