81 Million Baby Sales
Charged TO Tennessee
|ChiIdren's Aid Society
BY the Asseciofed Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 12.-
Gov. Gordon Browning said last
night the State has begun an
investigation of a reported 81
million traffic in babies by the
Memphis Office of the Tennessee
Children'S Home Society.
Gov. Browning said he ordered
the investigation after receiving
numerous reports that the chill
dren's agency was selling babies
for profit.
The State Welfare Department
| is conducting the inquiry. Com
missioner j. O. McMahan declared
information already obtained
shows there has been a widespread
traffic of Tennessee babies into
other States.
Edwin Price, Nashville lawyer
and president of the Tennessee
Children'S Home Society, said last
night he knew nothing of the
reported sale of babies.
The society is a Semi-private
agency governed by a board of
directors with State offices here.
Mr.. McMahan asserted sit ap-
pears that more than 80 per cent
of the babies adopted through the
Shelby County (Memphis) branch
of the Tennessee Children's Home
Society have been exported to
California and New York"
He said his information indi-
Gated the foster parents have
paid sums of as much as $3.50
in each case, while the average
cost of transporting the babies
has been less than $780,"
Mr.. McMahan estimated that
the traffic in babies had run into
the thousands in recent years and
that the profits reached an esti-
mated 81 million.
He said the children's society
Nashville, Chattanooga and Knox
vile offices are not involved In
the investigation.
The State contributes 100000
annually to the children's society,
he said. and therefore is con-
cerned with where the estimated
81 million obtained in the baby
traffic went.
