Doctor Who Rescued Boy From Dead Mother s
Arms in Manila Wins Permission for Adoption
Long Search Finds
Grandmother Who
Wuives Claim to Boy

Dr.. Ricardo ISABELLA hopes he has
found home at last for the little
boy who bears the name Of an
American soldier and looks like his
Filipino mother.
It isn't. however, the home DR..
ISABELLA had in mind when he lifted
4-year-old Anthony from his dead
mothers arms and escaped from
Manila in the last days Of Jap
resistance.
DR.. ISABELLA, q veteran Of the last
war, who, holds degrees from three
universities here, knew that some
where in this country was the
mother Of o sergeant captured on
Bataan. Somehow, he was going to
find that mother and offer the boy
into her keeping until the soldier
was liberated.
The Doctors Story.
This is DR.. Sabella's story of the
beginning and-he hopes the end
Of that quest:
DR.. ISABELLA was a foreign service
officer for the State Department,
detailed to field work in Manila,
when the Japs came In. Being an
Oriental, he couldn't claim diplo-
matte immunity so he stayed on In
Manila.
About six months before Manila
was liberated, the Sabellas took into
their home one Esther Abdon and
her son, Anthony.
Anthony was the son of q 28-
year-old soldier Of fortune who had
seen service all over the Far East
when he met Esther. Theirs was
one Of those romances that bloomed
in the Philippines and Sonny was
born"
DR.. ISABELLA never knew the SOL
dier, but Esther had told him about
the day the sergeant kissed Sonny"
goodby and joined the soldiers re-
treating to Bataan.
Home Set Afire.
Early in the evening OF Febru-
ary z, 1945, after the Jap marines
had found out that I and my family
had come from Washington, our
house was set aflre and the Jap
marines started riddling the house
with rife shots attempting to kill
every one in It,"
Sonny was hidden In the bath
tub at first to escape injury but
when darkness came the Sabellas
with Esther and her son escaped
through the back of the house. DR..
ISABELLA broke his arm IN jumping
from second floor window.
They fed to the fields where they
hid for two days, caught between
Jap and American lines, clinging to
the earth to avoid machine gun and
rifle bullets and exploding trench
mortar.
Determined to reach the pontoon
bridge separating the American-held
from the Jap-held sections of the
city, they. left the fields and hid
under q bungalow.
MY son, Dick. volunteered to 60
out and pick up wounded American
soldiers and Esther Abdon with
Sonny In her arms moved over to
take Dicks place under the bunga-
low. Flying shrapnel penetrated
the back Of her skull, killing her
instantly"
With Sonny riding on Dicks
shoulders, the, family raced through
q hail Of sniper bullets for the bridge
and safety. Then came the question
Of what to do with Sonny. DR..
ISABELLA decided the boy should 60

Na1s as "Hitler's Holy Ground" l" be- cause 1t was here that Der Fuehrer had first trod on French ground.
 Early in March, the offensive of the Trailblazers carried them to the south bank of the Saar River, where two of its regiments promptly put men across the vital stream. On March 20, the city of Saarbrucken fell to the Trailhlazers' 275th Regi- ment. At the same time, the rest of the divisions units swarmed through the formidable Siegfried Line defenses. @
 Late in March, advance elements of the 10th met men of the 26tt Iri- fantry Division and effected. their Junction with the Third Army.
 The Trailblazers first saw combat Dec. 28, 1914, in defensive positions along the west bank of the Rhine in Alsace-Lorraine. The German drive in the sector was timed with the Ardennes offensive. The roth held fast against the onslaught of picked German troops-including the elite of the SS-and the point of the northern prong of the Ger man drive was blunted and finally broken.
 After the reduction of the Saar Basin, the Trailblazers were as- signed to occupational duties at Ot- terberg, Bad Kreuznach, Frankfurt, and Oranienstein, near Limburg-on- Lahn.

Deficit In Pops Series AnoIyzed

WaterpufyS public failed to pat- ronize the summer Pops concerts at Hamilton Park this past season to the extent that a deficit of $1,191 was incurred, 1t was reported by the Park Board at yesterdays meet ing.
 Expenses were listed as 4,290 with revenue at $3,09804.
 No actual determination could be made yesterday as to the reasons for the deficit other than the fail- ure of the public to patronize the events. The need for hiring of out side musicians resulted in expendi- lures of $l,914.50 1t was disclosed. Mario DiCecco, concertmaster and director of music for the Civic Or- chestra had disclosed earlier in the year that 1t was necessary to go out of town to hire capable musi- clans for these concerts because many local members were in the armed forces. Also at an earlier, date MT. DiCecco had pointed out that deficit was being incurred because of high expenses and low attend ance.
 MT. DiCecco yesterday thanked the board for its cooperation as CO., sponsor of these concerts and out lined the following five suggestions for the operation of any future similar events:
 l. Plans for concerts to be made lrl advance.
 2. Plans should include dates, financing and promotions.
 3. The concerts should be spaced three weeks apart, begin early in June and end before Labor Day.
 4. Publicity should include near by summer resorts and camps. , 5. Committees should be formed in factories to stimulate attendance.
 On suggestion of the mayor and the entire Park Board 1t was voted to review further the inventory of accrued expenses before final ap- proval in an attempt to determine any possible means of offsetting future deficits of this nature.

Milk Dealers Continuing
 Same Routine

MIX will be delivered every other day n continuation of the war time practice until at least next spring, according to a vote passed at meeting of milk dealers in the city courtroom last night. The decision followed trend in Con- necticut to follow wartime sched- ules.
 Several benefits of the present stagger system were pointed out. It was explained that if daily de- liveries were inaugurated, involv- ing higher trucking and labor costs, the price of milk would increase from one-half to one and three quarter cents per quart. The pres ent schedule would also continue to provide better working condition and wages for the deliverymen, and provide savings for the dealer, it was pointed out.
