Black Market In Babies 1 Flourishina In Nation

(Editor's note: It's easy to adopt a baby on the hlack tnar- ( ket. A simple telephone call ■ will start the negotiations. But it can be heartbreaking as the following story tells. This, * the story of one couple who i adopted a baby illegally, is the i second in a series of five deali ■ ing with the black market in babies. It is written by United Press correspondent Elizabeth Toomey who spent three months gathering material for these dispatches.! By ELIZABETH TOOMEY 1 NEW YORK. UP — A single telephone call is enough to start ■ negotiations for a baby through i black market channels. A lew key names are all you need to mention to assure the contact on the other end that you ( have been approved as a suitable baby customer. Approval, in this case, means ability to pay and willingness to keep quiet about the . arrangements.—. Authorities in this country have 1 spent months investigating a reported baby ring operating across the Canadian border. Telephone contact reportedly sets up bajiy sales. In some, cases the babies even are brought across the border by paid couriers, an investigator said. Such word-of-mouth information and a few telephone calls got a young Brooklyn couple the promise of a Canadian baby to adopt. «>• their negotiations had nothing to do with the riitg currently under investigation. “We had inquired about getting a baby from an agency, but we never actually applied." said Jack Shinder, a sloft-a-week clerk in a men’s store. He and his wife, Ethel. had been married six years and could not have children of their own. “We wanted a baby so much,” Shinder added wistfully, “and we didn’t want to wait so long." Except for a one-in-a-million coincidence, the name “Martin Shinder” would Just be another listed on the more than 80,000 adoption petitions filed in our courts this year. The arrangements -were simple. A friend told the Shinders about a Toronto obstetrician who could get a baby for them. By .telephone, Shinder agreed to pay the doctor $250 and also to pay the mother’s hospital bill. This price doesn’t . compare to much higher figures quoted by organized black market operators. Mrs. Shinder acted like any other excited woman about to adopt a baby—she told her relatives and a few friends. She bought some baby clothes and nursery furniture. Then the telephone call came to leave immediately for Toronto. * Shinder registered the 16-year-

old unwed mother as his wife at a Toronto hospital, and five days later left the hospital with a baby boy registered as his awn. Now. 10 months later, the Shinders have spent thousands of dollars on a legal battle to get the baby that was taken from them at the Toronto airport last April. Their pervousness with the tiny child aroused suspicion, and questioning by immigration officials brought out the whole story. Shinder paid a $l5O fine for falsifying the birth certificate. The doctor was fined on the same charge but acquitted later on an appeal. Then Shinder came back to Brooklyn while his wife waited in Toronto to fight for the baby. Any day now the postponed homecoming will occur — in a different atmosphere and different surroundings than planned last spring. Authorities finally agreed to let the Shinders adopt the baby. “We’re going to move to another apartment.” Shinder said when he heard the news. “We want to forget what has happened to us. We don’t want the baby to know about all this when he grows up. We're not even going to have our telephone number listed." (Tomorrow': The story of a “nice” girl who puts her illegitimate baby out for adoption.) TERRE HAUTE MAN iC«»h»M4 Pwkw Qwet discrimination cases. Craig forced former chairman Joseph B. Kyle to resign last week primarily because of Kyle’s vote on “discrimination” cases. The governor had ordered action against wholesalers who “discriminate” against ether wholesalers by monopolizing a brand of beer in one area. — — On several cases already decided, Kyle and two Democratic commissioners voted to dismiss complaints. Only Cravens voted there was discrimination. Ogvena sa|d a decision on six discrimination cases will be held up until the new commissioner reads a transcript of the cases apd is qualified to vote. There was speculation this vote might result in a 2-2 deadlock. If such happened, the case would “die" tor lack of decision — in effect, that would mean dismissal. - 1 Cravens said he would rather see a decision rendered. And he said It a deadlock-vote appeared, the commission would attempt to avoid it by convincing one commissioner to change his vote. Cravens added,, however, that each discrimination suit is differ- , ent and “each stands on its own merits.” Therefore, he said, it is , incorrect to anticipate a deadlock vote bft tile basis of half the vote.

, - . i P - ■ > ml i W iFjjnl lusMß 1 9ft John McClellan, Stuart Symington, Henry M. Jacksun, Arkansas Missouri > Washington THESE ARE THE THREE Democratic senators who "walked out" of the Senate investigations subcommittee headed by Senator Joseph McCarthy (R), Wisconsin, last summer. They charged “one-man rule." Now Republican members of the committee are trying to get them back by putting them “on the spot!" removing the Democrats’ expressed reasons for boycotting.

Supports Proposal For Strike Vote Senate Labor Group Chairman For Plan WASHINGTON, UP —Chairman H. Alexander Smith of the senate labor committee today suggested that the administration’s proposed government-supervised strike vote be given a "trial" run. The New Jersey Republican said congress could “experiment” with the controversial proposal by making it applicable to national emergency strikes in which the country's health and safety would be at stake. He made the suggestion as the committee embarked on a second dr.y of hearings on changes in the Taft-Hartley labor law proposed by President Eisenjtower. The strike vote proposal has come under heavy fire from labor groups and Democrats. Smith defended the proposal as a step toward "more democracy" in labor unions. He said the "basic thing’’ involved is the need for "some kind- of a bill of rights” for American workers. The strike vote was endorsed Monday by labor secretary James P. Mitchell although he conceded it “might be impractical.” But he said-it-should betakenbefof'ethb strike begins instead of afterwards as in a bill introduced by Smith. , Mitchell was called to complete his testimony today. The U.S. Chdmber of Commerce, meanwhile, endorsed the voting Idea in testimony prepared for today’s session. Blit it said some . private or public agency mutually acceptable to both sides should be designated to conduct the referendum before the strike, Business Decline To End By Summei Economist Denies Depression Nears CHAMPAIGN. 111., UP —. An economist said today that the present business decline will end this; summer' with economic levels becoming stabilized and perhaps recovering somewhat. V. Lewis Bassie, director of the University of Illinois’ Bureau of Economic and Business Research denied the nation is suffering an incipient depression. The present trend, he said, is a minor fluctuation in a period of general prosperity. The general level for 1954, he said, will be second only to the records set in 1953. The situation, he said, is that of an “inventory recession” somewhat less favorable to the same type recession in 1949 since inventories are higher and demand even less than that year. Womanly Intuition CHICAGO. UP —Woman’s intuition, a good economic barometer in past years, indicates there will be no drastic change in the nation’s economy this year, according to a grocery executive. Don R. Grimes, president of the Independent Grocers’ Alliance, said Monday housewives seem to have a “sixth sense” — buying cautiously when they sense hard times coming, and splurging when times appear good.

Harold W. Handley met with trucking industry representatives and Indiana Farm Bureau officers Monday to discuss whether plane for a "haylift” to drought areas in southern Hoosierland should bf carried out. But when the long meeting ended, no one would say what ft accomplished. A statement was expected from the trucking industry, which volunteered to furnish a fleet of trucks to baud hay from lushei crop areas in other states to some of 22 counties stricken by. drought last summer and falL Previously, it was reported the project might be called off because the livestock feed shortage was considered not as serious as first believed. Persons close to the “hayllft” plan® said 1 when actual orders for hay were solicited, the orders placed represented only a small percentage of the amount observer® previously had said were needed. The “haylift” was planned originally to move 650 tons of feed from Chicago to southern Indiana, because farmers said their haymows were empty or becoming depleted due to short crops in 1953. wife buying early last year arid estimated business for 1953 would be up about 15 percent. Business rose by 345 million dollars, exactly IF percent, fie ’ This year, a similar study indicates housewives expect no change In 1954.

Government Worker Objects To Method Doesn't Like Way He's Being Retired WASHINGTON UP — Allyn C. Breed, aged 70, doesn’t mind so much about being 1 retired from government service. What he is confused about is how the government did it. Breed, a kindly gentleman who is an executive director of locomotive inspection in the interstate commerce commission, was thinking about putting on the carpet slippers and buying a pipe anyhow. "But why," he asked, "did they force me to? Os course I would like to fiddle and saddle and fish and travel around, but 1 didn’t ask to." What disturbed Breed a little was President Eisenhower’s action in revoking an executive order issued by Franklin D. Rosevelt in 1942 which exempted federal employes from compulsory retirement at age 70. Breed is believed io be the only employe affected now. The original FDR order was issued to relieve, the wartime manpower shortages. —-"I don’t mind it," Breed told me. “I was planning to retire and do a little fishin' and huntin' and such, anyway. But 1 wanted to do it my way. 1 didn't want to be forced to. This isn't my way of quittin'. I just wanted to say goodbye to the folks 1 have worked with and walk out. Nothing like this public notice before I was ready." Allyn Breed has been in government service since Aug. 10, 1911. In those days, he said, the government did not grade the workers. “I started railroading In your part of the country,” he told me. an old Illinois kid. “Out in Peoria. Sure, we had a few collisions and some wrecks, but we didn’t kill any people. We were careful In those days. Like they are careful today." Breed “ran” an engine on the old Peoria and Peklin line and "with the equipment we had it’s a wonder we didn't run into some real trouble.” "In my present job,” he said, "I make |IO,OOO a year. Which isn’t much. I don't know what the pen-' sion will be. I don’t care much. But I . wish the President had given me a little notice about being cut loose. In the old days they didn't turn a man oft without telling him a little in advance. Six

Joseph R. McCarthy today whether they will end their six-month boycott against his permanent investigating subcommittee: Sens. John L. McClellan. Ark., Stuart Symington, Mo., and Henry M. Jackson. Wash., said they would reveal their decision In a joint statement. Although they refused to drop any official hints, they said the new rules adopted by McCarthy aitd the three other Repwblkfen subcommittee members "vindicated" their walkout and "removed the barrier" to their return. The three resigned from the subcommittee last July 10th when the GOP majority Voted McCarthy sole power to hire and fire staff members. But in two closed "conferences" with the Democrats Monday, the Republican members unanimously knocked out that rule 'and made further concessions to lure the boycotters' back. McClellan said the sul*conunittee’s new set of rules is “a complete vindication of the position we took" on McCarthy's one-man control of the staff. The new rules provide: f. Any member can move to hire or fire a staff member, and the issue will be decided by majority vote. J 2. An objection by all three ■ Democrats can block a public I hearing on any subject unless a majority of the full government • operations committee,* parent body of the investigating group, overrules them. ~ 3.

Lewis said, shows that Beeson “possesses an astonishing bias.” He called Beeson a “self-styled union-buster.” Lewis said it is "inconceivable” that any senator would “unleash” -with the government’s power behind him —such a "raging protagonist of the exploiters of labor in the nation.” Beespn ran into Democratic criticism Wednesday when he said he' thought there has been a feeling that thp Taft-Hartley act was only to protect labor. REDS AGREE TO (Continued From Pnae One) the walkout means they intend to boycott the second-string talks indefinitely, but they set no time for another liaison session. They also told Allied spokesman Edwin Martin that the letter would make the liaison talks “meaningless" because it would put their first-string negotiators in “direct eon'aet" with Dean. ~—- The U.S. envoy broke off toplevel talks Dec. 12 because the Communists persisted in insulting the United States and insisted that Russia be admitted to the conference as a “neutral.” Red liaison officers banded Martin their letter to Dean shortly before noon today, He asked for a half-hour recess, and*, later extended it to an hour. When he returned at 1 p.m. to renew the seeondstring talks, the Communists walked out. - The letter was promptly warded to W’ashington.
