EVACUEES FOR U.S.

BRITISH CHILDREN TO GO TO HOLLYWOOD

The first of a group of British children will arrive in Hollywood within ten days under a scheme sponsored by Douglas Fairbanks, and supported by the British Film Colony, according to a Los Angeles telegram to the "New York Daily News."

Sixty-three children from the Actors' Orphanage in England are included. Mr. Alfred Hitchcock, the film director, is stated to be in Ottawa arranging the children's transfer to the United States after they reach Canada.

An urgent plea to make United States ships available to carry refugee children to America appears in the "New York Herald-Tribune."

"The Neutrality Laws should be modified to permit of their dispatch for this purpose," the paper urges.
