PARENTAGE OF TWO
TINY BABES KEEPS
SCIENCE GUESSING
Chicago Judge and Health Com.
missioner Join Experts in
Seeking Solution

Chicago. July 22.-(R-Two tiny
babies. with nothing to do but sleep
and eat, kept science guessing today.
One Of the babies is Charles Evan
Watkins; the other Is George Edward
Bamberger. What bothers science is
the question Of whether Charles Wat
kins Is George Bamberger or George
Watkins.
TO settle the question. sever prorni-
nent medical and scientific experts,
Chief Justice Harry Olson of the mu-
nicipal court and Health Commits
sioner Arnold H. Kegel delved deeper
into the family traits. racial charac-
teristics, skin structure and blood cell
formation Of the parents.
While they admitted that solution
was difficult, the experts agreed that
the findings OF one, compared with
those Of the other six. should produce
corroborative evidence.
TO DR.. Cleveland White. dermatolo-
gist Of Northwestern university, was
assigned the task Of studying the skin
structure. Finger print convolutions
and hair thicknesses went iEto the
detection, laboratories of DR.. Ferdi-
nand Wat2ek and A. J. Mullvaney OF
the Northwestern university crime
school.
Photometric and X-ray bone stu
dies faced DR.. Gerhardt Won BONN,
University Of Illinois anthropologist.
and DR.. Davis 8. Hills. obstetrician
at Passavant hospital.
Blood cells Of parents and babies
went under the microscope Of DR.
Hamilton r. Fishback, Of Northwest
ern university. who sought hereditary
traces in the blood consistency.
The infancy Of the babies has made
the study Of hereditary characteristics
doubly uncertain. The races OF the
parents, too. are involved. william
Watkins Is WEIGH. Mrs. Watkins Is
German. Charles Bamberger IS Irish
and English and Mrs. Bamberger Is
an Austrian.
Until the scientific sages disclose
their findings, the parents have
dropped proposed damage suits
against the Englewood hospital
where the babies were born on the
same day, three weeks ago.
A week ago Father Watkins. bath
ing his baby. found a tape marked
"Bamberger" on the infants back
He rushed to the Bamberger home
demanding his own son. A nurse had
iust torn the tape off the Bomber
ger baby's back but 1t was found and
read Watkins"
The supervisor Of the hospital baby
ward told Chief Justice Olson yester-
day she wrote and applied the 'ad-
hesive tabs within four minutes after
birth.
