 Passaic. N. J., May 1l.-(UP)-- Papa Emil Kaspar was doing well today two days after his wife, who had been expecting twins, gave birth to the first quadruplets ever born in New Jersey. But he wrestled with the problem of how to keep fam fly of four, suddenly made eight, on $2O a week. The quadruplets- Frances, Frank, Felix and Ferdinand were in a special incubator at St. Mary's hospital squalling lustily for whiskey and sugar being fed them from an eye-dropper at brief inter- vals. They have, doctors said, good chance of becoming the second quadruplets to attain maturity. The Keys quads of Texas were the first. While 47-year -old Papa Kaspar pug zled over columns of figures and made jokes about getting a box car in which to take his family home. Mayor Benjamin Turner indicated he would see to it that the city or state assumed the expenses of car ing for the children for limited time at least.
 The mayor. who likes to drive around town with seven or eight children in his car. said the Kaspars had done PaSsaic great honor by selecting 1t as the birthplace of the four F's. He will seek to have the matter presented to the legislature at Trenton tonight. 4 number of opportunists have asked Papa Kas- par and his 36-year-old robust wife. Elsie. to sign contracts for advertis- ing testimonials. Mayor Turner gave the bidders cold stares and in- dicated he would see to it that Papa Kaspar does not make the mistakes that caused "all the confusion"

Father or Quadruplets To Be Helped By City or Birth

when the Dionne quintuplets were born at Callendcr, Ont.
 Mrs. Kaspar was in remarkably good condition today and expected to be able to leave the hospital within 10 days She was little hap- pier than her husband although she was plainly shocked when Dr. Frank Jani told her she had given birth to four babies instead of the twins he had expected. Her first thought were of the family finances already strained in the effort to take care of their two other children, FL len, 3. and Ralph, IS months. Papa KaSpar staggered when he was told That's big news" he gasped. Then he wandered Gazedly of to work as an assistant machinist-a job he got only two weeks ago after more than year of unemployment.
 The quads had nurse each with the hospital footing the bills. A number of volunteer nurses worked in relays to see that the incubator temperature was kept constant at 108 because .he babies were born prematurely by five weeks and will require at least that time in a spe- cially warmed container. Frances, the girl, was born with full head of black hair. She weighed three pounds 10 ounces. The first boy born weighed three pounds four ounces, the second two pounds l3 ounces and the third boy three pounds nine ounces.
 A family conference to discuss the new additions broke up without any announced conclusion. Relatives shook their heads a8 they wondered how Papa Kaspar would be able to stretch his meager salary unless he accepts some of the publicity offers or unless the state comes to his aid.
