In some instances the patrol

Precinct commanders said they

received. Block captains have
been urged to complete their COL

One New York Baby
Found; Incubator
Infant Still Missinq
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 31.-One of
two infants missing under myster-
ious circumstances was found
early today in the home of a
Brooklyn woman who said she
took the child because I thought
1t was cold.'
The child, month Diane
Marie Ranzi. had disappeared
from q theater lobby last night
while her mother watched a
movie. Police, after a futile all
night search had feared the child
had been kidnapped.
They said that a man, George
Bell. notified them about 7 am.
today that the baby was in the
home of his sister, Mrs. Catherine
Palmore, 56. of Brooklyn. The
baby was found there in bed with
Mrs. Palmore and her own 2-year-
old daughter, Lois. .
No Charges Placed.
Police said they believed Mrs.
Palmore had mistaken the baby
for a neighbor's child and had felt
she should take care of it. No
charges were made against her.
Still missing was premature
colored baby who vanished from
q Lincoln Hospital incubator last
night. Authorities : feared the
child. nine -day-old Chaneta Hol-
den, weighing only two pounds,
IL ounces. already had died of
exposure.
Police said the baby girl re-
covered in Brooklyn was un-
harmed.
Her mother, Mrs. Geraldine
Ranzi. 81. told police she left Diane
in her carriage in a Brooklyn
theater lobby while she and her
2-year-old son. Albert, went in to
see the show.
Later, she found the baby and
carriage gone.
The theater doorman. John
Parker, SO. said he thought the
carriage was wheeled away by
woman wearing a black coat. He
said he tried to keep an eye on
the child, but had been too busy.
Missed by Nurse.
In Manhattan, police pressed a
basement-to-roof search of Lin
coin Hospital. where the tiny, pre-
mature Holden infant first was
missed by nurse, Doris williams.
The nurse told police she found
the incubator section ajar and
the baby gone.
The theater doorman. John Par
'ker. 50, said he tried to keep an
eye on child, but had been too
busy.
DR.. Marcus Kogel, hospitals
commissioner, who is aiding in
the search, said he saw little
chance for the baby to survive If
exposed to the weather for more
than an hour.
The baby, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarence Holden, was born 1T
City Hospital and transferred to
Lincoln Hospital, which has better
incubator facilities.
The father, 81, a television stu.

This Changing World
Full Grand Jury Report on Amerasia
Case to Stir New Political Battle

without any prompting from the
Justice Department, but to the
fact that the life Of the grand
Jury expired when the investiga-
ton should have become "inter-
eSting."
That there is more in the case
than appears on the surface Is
obvious from the fact that the
members Of the panel urged" the
impaneling Of a new grand jury
at the earliest possible moment.
with the aim Of continuing the
investigation.
New Political Battle Seen.
The forthcoming publication Of
the full preSentment is likely to
cause another political battle in
Washington. Administration sup
porters felt last Thursday that
they had scored an important
victory when the grand Jury
failed to find any negligence on
the part Of Justice Department
prosecutors, who had been ac-
cused Of whitewash. President
Truman personally had ordered
the arrest and prosecution of the
persons involved.
The opposition claims that the
act-finding grand jury could not
have found" differently, since it
would have taken months to get
to the bottom Of the whole mat
ter, impartially and in a business
like manner.
The grand jury's real thoughts
are to be found in the urgency
with which it advises the Justice
Department to resume the inves-
tigation as soon as possible and
also in the recommendation that
it make public on its own q full
and comprehensive report of
everything connected with the
Amerasia case-its prosecution
the contents of the documents it
found in the possession Of the
arrested persons and the flaws
Cnat 1t found in the arrests Of
these persons.
The statement by the mem
bers Of the grand jury that the
Office Of Strategic Services, which
broke the case. and the FBI.
which developed it, had acted "in
a responsible manner" and that
the FBI officials had properly
performed their duty" leaves room
to question why only two men
were indicted and given extremely
light sentences.
The 81 Senators who this week
proposed that the Amerasia case
be handed over to the judiciary
Committee for a thorough airing
are said to be determined to press
their resolution, which, they be-
lieve, will lead not only to COM
plete elucidation Of this mystery
case but also to future legislation
to tighten up the present unsatis-
factory and loose espionage laws.

ing that he was not opposing a

making his charges.
Mr.. Sterling had told the COM

question may be settled by Sep
tember and that the FEC hopes
to "unfreeze" television con-
struction in all bands "by the
end of the year."
In the hearings on the appoint

warnings Of one Of its own experts
that 1t was allocating TV permits

The warning, Senator Tobey
said, was in a memorandum from

Government Barrier
To Newspaper Strikes
Opposed by AP Head
BY the Asseeiassd Press

OTTAWA, June II. - Robert
Mclean. president Of the Asso-
ciated Press, said yesterday he
does not support proposals for
government protection against
strikes In newspapers.
He addressed delegates from II
countries Of the British common
wealth attending the Seventh I'm
perial Press Conference In Ottawa.
II belong to that group who have
never sought guarantees for the
publishers that are not given to
other producers and employers Of

so would tend to make them de-
pendent on government"
Mr.. MCLEAN was loudly ap-
plauded when he added: II feel
that we are far more effective
when we remain free Of that de-
pendence."
Two previous speakers referred
to the strike on the New York
World d-Telegram and Sun which
suspended publication Tuesday
after the American Newspaper
Guild (CIO) struck and set up q
picket line which some other
unions in the plant refused to
cross.
The day was devoted to a dis
cussion Of the issues surrounding

The presentment on the Amer

portant conclusions:
ID The grand jury emphasized
the fact that it did not have
time to go fully into the Amerasia
case before the panels term ex-
pired Thursday night.
(2) In the short time 1t had
available to examine the mass of
evidence, it was not able to un-
cover any negligence on the part
Of Justice Department officials in
charge of prosecuting the indicted
persons.
90 Because Of time limitations
on the jury's investigation, it
urged that the Justice Depart
ment publish a full and complete
report containing all the facts
in the possession of the depart
ment regarding this affair.
(4) The grand jury recon-
mended emphatically the early
impaneling of another grand jury

go thoroughly into the Amerasia
case.

10 feOrganlZe the executive branch
of the Government-the Hoover
Commission, so-called because
Congress itself named the former
President to head it. These citi-
zens had no interest in the matter,
save a desire to see the Federal
Government operating efficiently
and economically. They approved
Of the reform undertaken by Con-
gress and were willing to give their
own time to help accomplish it.
Now they are suffering disillusion-
ment.
Real Problem in Congress.
They are finding that their real
problem lies in Congress itself
rather than among the bureau
Gratis whom Congress set out to
reform. For one thing, they find,
Congress is more disposed to listen
to the business and other special
interests that may be affected by
any change in the administrative
structure than it is to listen to the
efficiency experts Of the Hoover
Commission. For another, they
find, Congress isn't very serious
about the elimination of politics
from some parts, at least, Of the
administration.
Their prime example is the Post
Office Department. Historically
that department has been a po-
litica1 catch-all. When Will Hays,
Walter Brown and some others
were the Postmasters General,
they were also the Republican Ma
tional Chairmen, following an es-
tablished political practice. Demo-
Gratis complained loudly, out Of
the side Of their mouths. When
Jim Farley, Frank Walker and Bob
Hannegan were the Postmasters
General, they were also the Demo-
cratic National Chairmen. Re-
publicans complained loudly.
President Truman put an end to
this little joke by separating the
two jobs and making a non-po-
litical postal career man PoStmas-
ter General. This set precedent
likely to be permanent. That is
true because one Of the two rec
concentrations of the Hoover
Commission concerning the Post
Once thus far adopted by Com
gress requires that the PING may
not be an official of a political
party.
