Solomon Needed, Appeals Court
Comments in Backing Adoption

A Solomon is needed In deciding
adoption cases involving children,
the United States Court of Appeals
decided today in laying down the
proposition that appointment of a
guardian at law Is not necessary IN
all cases.
The name of the child involved
in today's case was not disclosed by
the court, as adoption proceedings
are conducted in secret, but the
opinion referred to "the innocent
pawn, a splendid, well-rounded, in
telligent child of II years." who was
interviewed by the District Court
jlrist for two hours in chambers,
with the consent of the parties.
In deciding that District Court
was correct in awarding the child to
the petitioners, the appellate court
said today:
The nature of the case arouses
the deepest emotions. The District
Court, as is apparent from the rec
ord, felt it. We feel it. The adop-
ton of child is the issue; her best
interest, the stake. A Solomon is
needed. In his absence, exercising
our appellate function, we find no
error in the decree of the District
Court"
The opinion was written by Asso-
ciate Justice Fred M. Vinson, who
heard the case with Chief Justice
D. Lawrence Groner and Associate
Justice Justin Miller.
The court said that the petitioners
for adoption who have cared for
the child in the place of her parents
since April, 1890, and the natural
mother are the adverse parties.
Represented by able counsel, said
the court today, they have joined
battle on all fronts fighting with the
passion common to such proceed
ings, but with admirable restraint"
