MOTHER W|NSG|R[
AFTERL0NG FIGHT
Mrs. Madigan Back in D. c.
With Daughter, 8, Taken
From Father.

After a four-year battle for posses
sion of her daughter, now 8, during
which she recently was arrested in
New York on kidnapping charge, Mrs.
Nettie Madigan, 1914 Connecticut ave-
nue., was back at home today with the
little girl safe In her custody.
Five days ago Justice Joseph w. Cox
of District Supreme Court, who in 1882
gave the child, Betty Lyvia Lugaresi,
to her father, Terzo Lugaresi, retired
member of the Marine Band, ordered
the child transferred to her mothers
custody. He authorized Mrs. Madigan,
remarked since her divorce from Luga-
resi-. to take the child forthwith, wher-
ever she could be found. Lugaresi did
not appear at the hearing.
Mrs. Madigan Immediately left for
New York and located the little girl
in the Bronx. The child was sick and
Mrs Madigan forcibly took her from
Lugaresi and started for Washington.
Under Arrest for While.
The father, however, notified police,
who blocked all outlets from the city.
Mrs. Madigan was arrested and
charged with kidnapping, but finally
effected her release after she had dis
played the decree of the Washington
court.
Lugaresi was awarded q divorce
November 10, 1882, after a bitterly
contested trial here and was given
custody Of the child. Two efforts by
the mother in District Supreme Court
to regain the little girl and one hearing
before Juvenile Court Judge Fay Bent
ley ended unsuccessfully for her.
On December "a last the mother
filed another petition in District Su-
preme Court, through Attorney Jean
M. Boardman, stating she had mar
ried Joseph Madigan and had a suit
able home for Betty. She said further
that Lugaresi was neglecting the child.
Lugaresi Gets Order.
While this petition was still pending
Lugaresi obtained an order from the
court permitting him to remove his
daughter from the District for three
weeks to visit his sister in Boston.
At the recent hearing Mrs. Madigan
told the court he had failed to return,
although the three weeks period had
expired.

COMMANDER OF v. F. w.
ENCAMPMENT SPEAKER
Issue In America Is Freedom or
Coercion, He Says, Defending

Lashing out at "red" influences in
this country, James E. Van Zandt.
commander in chief of the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars, told members Of
the organization last night that COM
munisms greatest ally today Is
Americas too tolerant attitude"
Comdr. Van Zandt spoke in the
auditorium of Thomson School, where
the District veterans are convenlng
for their annual three-day encamp-
ment.
Under the false banners OF the
brotherhood Of man and interna-
tionalism,' he said, "well-meaning
but misled church members and or
ganizations are lending their support
to forces definitely opposed to all es-
tablished principles of Christianity
and the church.
Bombardment OF Theories.
"Our labor groups are being bonn
barded with theories which, hiding
behind alleged principles Of justice
and equality, preach conflscation OF
property, disloyalty. conspiracy. class
hatred and greed" he said.
He added that "the real issue be-
tween communism and Americanism
is the issue between freedom and CO.
ercion. Today's militant Communist
wants not only to practice communism
but wants to force communism on peo-
pie who do not want it. The only
kind of communism to which any lib
eral mind objects is coercive COM
munism."
Comdr. Van Zandt held up the Con-
stitution of the United States as an
instrument providing a flexible code
of human relationships, and forceful
only as the wishes of majority of
the people are forceful."
"In America" he said, "the indi-
vidual possesses certain civil rights.
In America, the people, collectively,
are supreme. In communism, all
individual rights are destroyed. Com
munism advocates the overthrow of
our present form OF government, not
by reason or by the voluntary wish
of the people-as provided in our
Constitution-but by force and vio-
lence.
Russian Regimentation.
1.-THE 100000 confessed Com
munists in the United States today"
he added. "are more than twice the
number there are in Soviet Russia,
where approximately 168000,000 Rus
slams are being subjected to a regi-
nlentation Of working, living, speak
ing and thinking that amounts to vir-
tual enSlavement."
The program following Comdr. Van
zandt's talk consisted of reports Of
officers and committees, announce
ments, and the reading of minutes
and other communications. The three
day meeting will end tonight with the
election and installation of officers.
