MOTHER WANTS
BABY She SOLD

BALTIMORE, March % GIN s.
The market value of a warm,
cuddly baby with chubby cheeks
and big blue eyes is usually in
excess of a million dollars. Any
mother or dad from slum to pent-
house will tell you: 1--WE wouldn't
take million for baby"
But Mrs. Dorothy Client took IS
for 1s-month-old Elizabeth Jean
Ghent and gave a bill OF sale to
boot. "To have and to hold as
their own child" read the docu-
ment which went with Elizabeth
to Mr.. and Mrs. James S. Wheeler,
a childlesS couple.
The Wheelers didn't have Baby
Elizabeth today and neither did
her mother. Judge Edwin T. Dick.
erson, acting on the custody petit
ton of Ross Ghent, separated
from his W1fe since last Septem-
ber, decided that temporarily the
best place for the tot is with her
grandmother.
Mrs. Ghent, 81, a genuinely
pretts and intelligent appearing
girl, insisted that it was all mis-
take.
Unemployed, she had to find
some place for the baby until she
could get work, she said. And so
she gave the child, temporarily"
she said, to the Wheelers on Feb
ruary 10, accepted the IS and gave
the "bill Of sale" to make 1t
legal"

Broker Forced to Strip
For Physical Test

NEW YORK, March % (1N.s0.
Shocked and indignant, Richard
Whitney cooled off today after
the worst trial he has undergone
since he calmly admitted guilt for
the securities manipulations which
wrecked his brokerage firm.
The last vestige of dignity went
when he was forced to strip for
physical examination followed
by mental test to determine his
sanity, then a grilling by counsel
for the Securities Exchange Com
mission and a final questioning
by a court probation officer.
BROKER UPSET
Whitney, Judging by his de.
meanor, found the sanity test the
worst. A Harvard man, q former
president of the stock exchange
doubt about his mental condition
was upsetting particularly in view
Of the psychiatrists preliminary
report:
"Mr. Whitney presented q
number Of unusual problems.
The examination is not con.
cluded. He will be recalled at
some later date"
That was the statement Of DR..
Walter Bromberg, director of the
psychiatric clinic in general seS-
sions court who with three other
alienists quizzed Whitney, tapped
his knees for reflexes and put him
through the rest Of the sanity
tests.
SENTENCE DELAYED
Not much better for Whitney's
dignity was the physical exam
nation.
And to top it all came the word
that sentence will not be passed
on the erring broker on Monday
but will be deferred until April
11-so that the SEC may have an
opportunity to further question
Whitney after Prosecutor Thomas
E. Dewey and Assistant States
Attorney General Ambrose v. NC

the couple embarked aboard the

honeymoon in London and Paris.
When they return early in May,
they will make their home in Bal

connected with the Baltimore
News.
Due to simplicity of the wedding
and the noon sailing of the Queen
Mary, Miss Chandler decided to
dispense with the usual satin and
orange blossoms, and was mar
ried in a smartly tailored coat-suit
of rust-colored wool, with which
she wore a small-brimmed rust
colored straw hat, embellished
with blue ribbon. In place of the
usual bridal bouquet. she had a
corSage of green orchids.

TO HALT SAILING

NEW YORK, March % G.N.S0 &.
Despite heated protests by the
CIO National Maritime Union,
the Government-owned freighter,
City of Rayville, will sail for
Japan this afternoon with 5000
tons of scrap iron below her
decks.
Union leaders appealed to Secre-
tary of State Hull against use of
a Maritime Commission ship to
carry "war materials" to Japan
after Capt. Grenville Conway,
director Of the New York office
of the Maritime Commission, had
refused to intervene.
This is legitimate freight"
Captain Conway said, "and If
we don't carry it other ships
will"
The City OF RayVille, which is
operated by the Roosevelt Steam
ship Company, is the first govern
ment ship to be loaded with scrap
iron for Japan, Captain Conway
admitted, however.
Captain Conway pointed out
that scrap iron was not included
in the list of restricted freight as
drafted by President Roosevelt in
1885.

"Unless they quit discrimipat-

sional investigation"
DUES INCREASED
The investigation of the Amer
ican Medical Association, he ex.
planned, is aimed at its recent in
crease in dues. Mr.. Scott said he
hoped to find out whether these
dues were advanced to provide
additional funds to fight Group
Health.
The Californian, who late yes
terday addressed the House charg.
ing the Medical Society with en-
dangering the lives of thousands
Of Government employees in the
CHA fight, was given the support
of Representative Alfred N. Phil
lips, jr., O), of Connecticut.
In his speech, Mr.. Scott charged
the society with "conSpiring" to
give its members "a monopoly Of
the practice upon their own terms
in the Washington hospitals"
PRESSURE CLAIMED
He cited several instances in
which members of the society re.
fused to cooperate in cases involv-
ing CHA patients and said the
society was bringing pressure on
local hospitals and physicians con-
nected with CHA.
"It'S about time" he said,
"for Congress to find out
whether citizens OF the District
can go into local hospitals with
their own physicians, and
whether the hospitals are under
control Of the hospital trustees
or the medical society"
ANSWERS CHARGE
Meanwhile, in answer to charges
by CHA officials that a medical
society doctor had refused to con-
suit with a CHA physician in the
case of a patient i'll with heart
disease, DR.. Thomas E. Neill, presi-
dent of the society, attacked state
ments which he said ARE aimed
solely at creating an erroneous i'm
preston in the minds of the public
about medical society members. I"
DR.. Neill admitted he had ad-
vised one of the society members
not to consult with the CHA doc
tor because the society's constitu-
ton "forids any member to en-
gage in professional capacity what
soever with any organization,
group, or individual not approved
by the society"
while this might prevent
consultation with the CHA doc
tor" DR.. Neill said, "a society
doctor would gladly see any
patient independently and rem
der whatever medical service is
needed, acting in that indepen-
dent capacity"

When You Walk Right
On Road You're Wrong

When you walk on the right
side of highway you're violating
the state traffic law-and gambl-
ing with your life!
The lawful and safe way is to
walk on the left side of the road
way and to give wide room to
all approaching traffic. Then
meeting cars will have sufficient
space to pass without danger.
And by facing oncoming vehicles
a pedestrian is enabled to see
their maneuvers early enough to
be able to act in the event of an
emergency. 1t is also wise to cast
an occasional backward glance.
And if you use the road at
night, in rain or in fog, try to
wear an article of white clothing
so that drivers can spot you
more quickly.

THE NUMBER OF CHINESE AND
Japanese in California naturally gives rise
to question, how do they get along here
during the fighting in the Orient? So far
there has been no reported trouble. In
Chinese shops one sees signs urging boy
colt of Japanese goods and places for contri-
buttons toward the care of refugees. Japs
handle the vegetables from the field to. the
consumer and in markets operated by them
are signs asking in all fairness that the GUS
toner remember the proprietor had no part
in the invasion of China. Nevertheless they
are said to have suffered business recess
sion, the customers apparently siding with
the Chinese.
Incidentally they say that the Chinese
and Japanese generally have money and are
prompt in the payment of their obligations.
They seldom if ever ask for help from the
government, even though great many of
them are citizens.
CHINATOWN, SAN FRANCISCO, WAS
one of the most interesting places visited.
There some $4,000 Chinese reside in an area
three blocks wide and eight blocks long.
They have their own telephone company
with some 1900 subscribers and it was sur
prising to learn that they call by name rath-
er than numbers, the operators having mem
orized the entire phone book. Tourists evil
IDENTIFY help considerably in supporting many
shops and eating places although many cater
to the Chinese trade. A Chinese theatre is
maintained, with artists imported from
abroad. Performances outlast several
American double features and patrons take
occasional recesses for tea in adjoining
shops. Our Chinese guide said if they miss
ed part of the show it was no problem for
it is easy to pick up the simple story at any
point.
