 Hollywood, Feb. 22-(UP) .-Syd- ney Guialaroff, Americas highest paid hairdresser, installed 8 safety pin where it would do the most good and revealed himself today as the only bachelor in the nation, in solar as he knew, every to adopt a baby.
 "That was the trouble" the husky Guialaroff said, sprinkling talcum powder on his foster son. "There was no precedent. I went to every orphanage in the state of New York and the matrons all looked at me, funny-like, and asked me didn't I own dog?
 "One of them even sent me to & psychiatrist, to see if was mental case. I explained that liked babies and there didn't seem much chance of my getting married and why shouldn't I adopt a child? he agreed"
 Got Him in New Jersey
 Guialaroff's 10-month-old son cooed, while his bachelor father ex- plained how he had found him in a New Jersey hospital when he was six days old.
 q went to the hospital and got him, while my lawyer took the pa pers into his mother to sign," Guia- laroff said. T never did meet her. I learned nothing about the parents of my son. I didn't want to. The poor little tyke was sickly, so I took him to hospital. When he was re- leased weeks later, he still looked none too healthy. It worried me"
 At that time Guialarof was op- erating one of the most exclusive hair dressing salons in New York. He was being bombarded with tele- grams and phone calls from Metro Goldwin- n-Mayer to come to Holly wood and tend the dresses of the stars for reputed $25,000 year.
 q didn't want to come especially, but I decided that the California sunlight would be good for my son. It has been, too. If do say so my self, never have seen a healthier boy"
 After Joan Crawford
 He named his son Jon in honor of Joan Crawford, one of his early clients in New York. Jon Is. gray eyed, chubby. curly-haired and good-humored. He has nurse to bath him, a dog to play with, and father to lavish attention upon him.
 The 30-year-old Guialaroff con- cluded, in fact, that his son was so handsome there ought to be some memorial to his good looks and, if possible, ne that combined business with aesthetcis.
 Anyhow" he said, T designed the little baby hair cut for women and I predict that 1t will be one of the
