Rules Tesl-Tube Babes Illegitimate Physicians Urge Issue Clarified CHICAGO (INS) -A legal ruling that teat-tube babies are illegitimate unless the mother's husband is the donor touched off a turmoil today among physicians. Superior Judge-Gibson E. Gorman ruled that XL intone but the husband is the donof, the mother is guilty of adultery and the husband has no claim to the child. Judge Gorman later commented: “I imagine there will be a lot of litigation on this matter. It’s a highly controversial subject, and there have been no rulings anywhere in the country which got to the basic points of the matter.” Hut further clarification of the matter was urged by physicians meeting in Chicago for the sixth annual Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Among them, Robert J. Hawkins. clinical professbr of obstetrics and gynecology at the Stritch School of Medicine' in Chicago, said he agreed with Judge Forman’s decision “100 percent” and dubbed artificial insemination as “dangerous from the legal point of view and indefensible on moral grounds.” In ruling, on the case, Gorman said that when the semen- is obtained from a third party, “with or without the consent of" the husband,” that '.‘is contrary to the public policy and good morals and consti.utes adultery on the part of the mother. “A child so conceived is not a child born in wedlock and, - therefore, illegitimate. . .” iGorman decreed that if the husband supplied the semen in artificial. insemination, the conception is legal. Three Narcotic Ring Leaders Indicted INDIANAPOLIS (INS)—Among a total of 36 indictments returned late Monday by a federal grand jury in Indianapolis were three against men believed to have directed a widespread narcotics ring.
