Baby Which AstOunded Medical World Last May in Good Healtfl-Governmen of Peru Ponders
 Future of Mother, Son

tall at birth and TOW is 21k inches.
 Lima weighs 63 IA pounds nd is three feet, eight inches tall. She was anemic when she went to the hospital from tho little town of Pisco, but with special diet, she is gaining weigh
 While government commission of three considers four proposals to take Lima and the baby to the United States, she Is indifferent to the future.
 She plays with toys and takes cs.techism from her nurse, Emilia Echevarria.
 She is not now the bewildered, frightened child who talked to re- porters a cay or two after the baby was born. She is gay She likes to play with other children She takes an interest in the baby but only a mild interest. Often she says 1t is her z other.
 When he cries she pays no at- tention, and the nurses attend tc him.
 Rather than the shy, primitive Indian child of few months ago she now wears pretty dresses, and her light hair is usually tied with bright ribbon.
 She shows great affection for her doctors and refers to them as my five fathers" She loves best Dr.. Gerardo Lozada, director of the Pisco hospital, who first discovered she was pregr mt and who per- formed the operation; then comes Dr. Alesandro Bassalleu, who assist ed at the operation; Dr. Hipolito Larrabure, director of the maternity hospital; Dr. Ioland Colareta, who administered the anesthetic; and Dr. Ernesto go-Augirre, who has cared for the batv.
 Asked about her father, who was standing nearby, Lima said: "Yes, he is my fathe", too."
 He is a tanned, sad-faced Mestizo peon with close cropped mustache.
 Asked if he was going home soon, he shrugged and said: How can l leave my little daughter hereP"
 A government guardianship com mission has held several meetings to consider the future of the child and mother. but no decision is ex- pected until August.
 Among propositions under con- sideration is a contract with Rich ard IS. Kaplan, of Gary Ind, sign ed as represe~ tative of Leo A. Sel- tzer of Chicago, with the father. It gives Seltzer "the exclusive right to provide for Lima and her child and to han.'e their affairs outside of Peru.."
 The government has assumed guardianship since and the contract has not been recognized by the commission, which favors its nulli- fication.
