doctor who delivered the child, afii-
davits from friends of the dead girl,
a torn picture of a good-looking
soldier in q pith helmet, and an
old brown envelope which, appar-
emily, the soldier had left with
Esther Abdon when he went to
Bataan. In that envelope were all
his treasures-12 medals as a crack
marksman, his regimental insignia,
certificates Of proficiency and few
souvenir scenes Of China.
The proofs were sent to the SOL
dier's mother with a picture of the
little boy. Did she want him or
would she submit an affidavit waiv-
ing all claim to the child?
The answer was a long time COM
ing while the soldiers mother tried
to decide what her son would want
her to do. Finally, the other day,
DR.. ISABELLA was notified by the War
Department that the soldiers
mother had waived her claim to
the child.
DR.. ISABELLA admits now he was
hoping all along it would be that
way although he. was afraid the
soldiers mother would just grab
that little Sonny"
Right now, Sonny is in the Chill

investigation before DR.. ISABELLA can
adopt him.

passed between the American sol
dier and the Filipino girl, the pic
ture of the man in the pith helmet
and the medals which now repose in

Map Studies Asked
Before TeIevision
Appeals Are Decided

The Board of Zoning Adjustment
yesterday announced it was pre-
pared to approve the television sites
requested by the National Broad
casting Co. and Bamberger Broad
casting Service, Inc, but that
further evidence must be submitted
by both companies to prove that
the heights of the proposed towers
would render satisfactory service
to the District.
NBC Is seeking permission to
build a 350-foot tower on a 2OO-foot
site behind the Wardman Park
Hotel, while Bamberger wants to
construct 300-foot tower on 406-
foot site. which would make the
top Of the Bamberger tower ap-
proximately $50 feet above the NBC
tower.
While the evidence In each case
would seem to indicate that shadow
areas (areas Of poor reception) will
be negligible, the board is unable
to reconcile the difference in height
for each location, in the absence OF
detailed evidence in. the form of a
map study showing where, If at all,
service will not be satisfactory" the
board declared.
'The board, therefore, directs the
preparation Of a map or maps by
each appellant company showing
territory that might not be satis-
factorily served by each of the
heights proposed. In view of the
question raised by the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission that q 100-foot less height
might be adequate for the Bam-
berger Broadcasting Service, Inc,
location at Fort Reno, the board
requests that it show, in addition,
the territory that might not be
satisfactorily served with 1O0-foot
lesser tower height"
At Mondays hearing Raymond
Guy, NBC radio facilities engineer
testified that the tower sought by
his company would be suficient to
render satisfactory service. George
Davis, consulting engineer for Bam-
berger, when asked why Bamberger
wanted $50 feet greater height than
NBC. he said his clients tower
would give superior service"
