Baby Specialists Valuable In
Juvenile UNDERGROUND

The Amsterdam University stud
errs who conducted the special
underground railway for children
wisely enlisted the aid OF DR.. Dop,
professor Of pediatrics at the Uni
versity. and Of other doctors spe-
ciaIiziing in child diseases Dr.
Dop had q very large Jewish eli
entele as a result Of the murder
or Imprisonment Of his Jewish
colleagues in Amsterdam It was
natural for him TO visit many
Jewish homes, day and night,
without attracting undue suspicion
from the Nazi authorities.
But Dr.. Dop was fighting more
than the usual diseases Of child
hood as he made his rounds He
was combating the greatest plague
that ever struck hunlanity-Naz-
ism. The student underground,
which had agents planted in Nazi
headquarters would tip off DR.. Dop
on what Jewish families were
marked for SIS raids. The good
doctor would rush out-often in
the dead of the night-to warn
these families and TO assemble all
the children in his car for safe
placement in cooperating Gentle
homes.
Link Between Parent and
Rescued Children
DIR. Dop also served as a go
between for Jewish parents and
their children placed for safety in
Gentle homes, transmitting re-
assuring messages from one to
another, retaining that Continuity
OF relationships" so important in
either by impugning things to
homes were not available, kids
would be placed temporarily in
hospitals ard other institutions,
with the help Of forged documents
and false names.
DR.. Dop was extremely reIuct-
ant to talk about his own part in
this Juvenile underground rail-
way" He kept insisting that it
was mass enterprise. initiated by
the students, and that he was but
one cog in the intricate network
Of child-saving. I had to piece
the story together from his COL
leagues, who told me DR.. Dop had
personally been instrumental in
saving several hundred kids from
Nazi concentration camps.
There is a touching postscript
to this story: DR.. Dop. after the
war, offered to establish a fellow
ship fund to permit students of
the underground to continue their
interrupted studies. The brave
students would have none of it.
Instead, they developed a CO.

NATURALLY, l think I am entitl

The St. Louis Star-Times had
quoted him as saying he had set
$4,000 as his minimum price en-
a one-year contract or ''OthcrMise
I'm afraid I'll not play ball with
he Cardinals"
Musial has had two conferences
with Breadon. the latest in New

leave Friday, with his wife, fer
ST. Petersburg for a short vaca
lion before reporting to training
camp March /.
Il don't anticipate any more
word from Mr.. Breadon Until l
get to Florida" said Stan. Il know
that a player can't report fer
spring training until he has signed
his contract but l am hopeful that
We'll come to terms before that
time rolls around"
While refusing to give the salary
expected, Musial previously had
n1icated he thought he was en-
titled to a 100 percent increase
over last year which would put
him close to $50. 900.
The Star-Times quoted him as
saying:
"I'll not weaken on my stand,
despite the fact that l have no
definite plans for the future. l
figure l had a pretty good year
for myself and the Cardinals"
Breadon, who has an established
policy of silence on contract
matters, stated he had mo com

Musial, according to the Star

Williams announced salary is
correct at $50, 900 to SIS, 600, then
| will tell Mr.. Breadon and every
one that the club is far out of line
with the offer l have received.
Il feel that l contributed a ma
jor share toward the Cardinals
success in winning the pennant
last season when I accepted man

the outfield to first base.
That's part of the game, I'll
admit, but it's not part of the
