Move to Take Away
First Child Adopted
By RealtOr Browning

New York, Aug. 7.-(AP)-A new
element entered today in the adopt
ion of Mary Louise Spas by Edward
w. Browning, wealthy real estate
operator. Mrs. Anne st. Johns of
Rye, N. Y, foster mother of Dorothy
Sunshine Browning sought advice as
to the cancellation of that adoption
which occurred six years ago.
Declaring many statements made
to- her when Dorothy was adopted
since have been proven false, Mrs.
st. John asked Commissioner of
Public Welfare Coler if there was
not some way available of revoking
the adoption.
Il cannot believe that Mr.. Brown
ing is fit to be her guardian" she
said in a letter to the commissioner.
"and now this disgusting farce of
adopting that young woman"
The possibility of some action
through the district attorney of
Queens County seemed to be ELI
minated when that official announc-
ed late today he had been unable to
find any law on the statute books
which prohibited parents from SELL
ing their consent to an adoption.
Browning issued a statement to-
day charging Commissioner Coler
was actuated by personal motives
and intimating a libel suit may fol-
low.
Mr.. Browning denied he had any
intention of adopting u year old
Sylvia Mullen, who had announced
she was to share his parental boun-
ty with Mary Louise and Dorothy
Sunshine, and further asserted she
had spent the hours of her unex-
planned absence from her home last
night in discussing details of her
adoption. Mr.. Browning denied
both the conference and it's alleged
outcome.
II never will adopt another child"
he declared. please make that
final"
