Good Deed
 By President
Ry ROBBERY MUSEL

(UnLteO EEeSS SVhn COrTeHpOuuomtl
 London, Oct. io-(UP)-The kindly intervention of President Roosevelt opened the way today for a new life behind America's tranquil shores for the nalneless child of an American soldier and O British girl.
 The infant, born out of wedlock, was being taken by an American Army nurse, by train to e northern airport from where the Air TranS- port Command will fly the little tot to the United States.
 It developed today that the baby's passport had been misplaced, and the transatlantic flight would be delayed perhaps a hours, If the passport isn't found, experts figure they can have new one ready within 0 day.
 These same people also knew the details Of Q tragic romance in Liv- erpool, where the father was Sent-to France and killed in action before he could marry the girl he loved,
 Before that, however, the father had written to his parents in Amer lea of his love for the English girl Then when they learned of the birth of the child they appealed to the U. s. War Department for per. mission to bring the baby to the states.
 Disappointment
 But that appeal brought c disap. polntment to the grandparents. They were told there was no pro. visions in Army regulations cover. ing such Q situation. In despera. ton, they wrote to President Roose. welt. They told him how they want cd the baby to live in e land where no one would know of the stain of birth.
 They vowed the baby will never know, and promised to keep aS on eternal secret the forces set in mos ton to assure the infant 0 life just like that of any legal baby.
 The heart-rendlng appeal brought an order from President Roosevelt to the Air Transport Command to senger.
 The baby, about six months old and fondly called "Joe" by Nurse Anderson, will be the youngest transatlantic air passenger of oil time, and provides the transport command with perhaps It's strang- est cargo.
 When the order reached the com mand, officials at the big northern field had to Scurry around for in- fant's sleeping garments and bottles In preparation for the arrival of It. Anderson who will accompany the baby oil the way to the new home.
