Buddies
to Hunt For
Missing Baby

Detroit. Mar. s-AP-Two de-
termined veterans, whose wartime
friendship led to pledge, set out
today on the cold trail OF a nurse
maid who disappeared with Baby
Paul Jeyahirian three years ago.
They are Paul. Sr. q, father OF
the child, and his wartime friend,
Frank c. Selyidge, SO, a private
investigator.
The pair met in a Texas camp
year after the Jevahlrian baby,
then IL months old. disappeared
with the nursemaid in June, 1913.
Jevhirian's story touched Sell
vidge who promised to look into
the case when he returned to De-
troit. The latter was discharged
in 1914. DDuring a furlough a
short time later, Jeyahiris1 came TO
Detroit. looked up his friend, and
told him:
Il expect you to keep your
promise"
Selvidge did He spent the in
tervening months patiently running
down clues in the almost forgotten
case. He said today he has narrow
ed the search TO a specific area in
Detroit.
Evidence indicates, SelVidge said,
that the nursemaid, known then as
Alice White, may have stolen
the child to satisfy yearning in
her own heart, or to assuage the
grief OF childless friend.
Jevahirian, n veteran OF Okina-
wa, has returned to Detroit with
his Army discharge and has joined
Selvidge in the painstaking and
often aTt-breaking quest.
Jervahirian and his wife, Alice,
now have two other children but
little. blue eyed Paul. Jr., is still
much in n.their thoughts.
We seldom talk about IT," he
said today, But We still think that
some day we'll hnd Paul"
