FATHER ACCORDED
CUSTODY OF CHILD
Temporary Victory Is Won
by New Jersey Man
in Chicago Court.
3y the Associated P~eSS.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 5-A golden
haired little girl, released from an
orphanage, joined her flying father"
today to help him celebrate victory
In the first skirmish of his legal
fight to gain her permanent custody.
John M. Hayes, Mahwah, N. j.,
sportsman, was granted temporary
custody of the daughter, Patricia Ann,
yesterday at habeas corpus hearing
by Judge Walter T. Stanton of the
Superior Court. But he must appear
In court again August II on fugi-
tive warrant involving child-stealing
charges brought by his mother-in-
law, Mrs Charlotte Pendergast Of
San Francisco.
Patricia Ann, whose mother died
on June Is, has been in an orphanage
since Hayes was seized here Sunday,
when he arrived with the little girl
by airplane en- route east from Cali
fornia.
In ruling that Hayes could keep
his daughter Judge Stanton said:
Il don't think a father can be
guilty Of stealing his own child
unless a court has previously ordered
that he cannot have custody"
The court overruled the States re-
quest that Hayes be denied possession
of his daughter until the fugitive war
rant was disposed Of
Hayes said he had been in touch
with his San Francisco lawyer and
that the attorney doubted extradition
would be sought on the child-stealing
charge. He said if he won permanent
custody he would take the child to
Manwah where she will be cared
for by his mother. His brother Will
liam, curator of Egyptology at the
Metropolitan Museum in New York,
was planning to come here to aid him
in his court fight.

Spanish Catholics we're not in
league against the republic or even
against the popular front" Will
liam Montavon. director OF the
legal department of the National
Catholic Welfare Conferen c e
asserted here last night in broad
cast over the National Broadcast
ing Company's network.
Montavon said that when the
instruction broke out in Spain
last July a lot of the people, most
of them Catholics, thought that
only another mutiny in the army
was taking place. They knew that
government by the army might be
lust as bad as government by the
popular front. Some Of them
thought that it might be even
worse" He added:
at is most unfortunate that
SpaniardS have not been per
mitted to settle their own
dispute. If unhappy Spain
today is the battlefield for a
little world war, responsibility
lies not primarily on the
Catholic people of Spain"
Montavon referred his audience
to the minutes of the Seventh
World Congress of the Communist
International, which, he said.
would reveal the major causes of
the war.
