The Council is charged with advising the Government on . implementation of the Act, a char- "ter for homeless in Britain. The Act provides that, with rare ex- ceptions, all local government au- thorities' in Britain shall appoint a children's committée to look after the interests of children removed from their homes by order of a court, to supervise children brought up in other homes by consent of their parents, to approve adoption societies and so on. The Advisory Council will be, on a national level, what these com- mittees are to each local com- munity. Besides its chajrman, who has spent most of his working life in the study of child welfare in a famous London' children's hospital ; 'and in other countries, 'it consists of four men and seven women whose lives have been devoted largely to this object.

Milks completed a tour of North China Thursday. Here is a report of what he found.) By HAROLD MILKS Nanking, Dec. 24--(AP)-- Write off all of China north of the Yang- tze. The Communists have it. The lull in the fighting seems permanent. It appears to be the calm before the peace. Peiping and Tientsin are jammed with well fed, well armed national soldiers. But their withdrawal into those two large cities has 'ended their active participation in the war. They are as useless to Chiang Kai-Shek as the thousands he lost in Manchuria. Today the soldiers in Eientsin; Peiping, Kalgan and Tangku, Tien- tsin's port, are waiting--with a pre- tense of defensive activity--for a negotiated peace.
