Laws Uniustly Favor Women
In Paternity Gases Lawyer Says
Attorney Contends
Many Innocent Men
Convicted Yearly
BY the Assoeio,ed Press

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Mater-
nifty. a British writer once said.
is a. matter of fact; paternity
is matter of opinion.
Despite this. or because Of 1t.
thousands of men are haled into
court every year by unwed moth
'ers and accused Of fathering their
illegitimate children.
And ''at least 20 per cent" of
the defendants are unjustly con-
victed, in the opinion of man
who has convicted many Of them.
ITO often," said Sidney B..
Schatkin. its easier to get a con-
viction in a paternity case than in
a parking violation"
Mr.. Schatkin is in the unusual
position of disappearing Of his
own success. He is an assistant
corporation counsel of New York
City. His job is to prosecute pa
ternity cases on the complaint of
unwed mothers.
Won 3,700 Convictions.
In the % years, Mr.. Schatkin
estimated he. has handled about
5000 cases and won about 3.700
convictions.
In my opinion he said. sat
least 750 of thoses men convicted
were not the fathers Of the chill
dren involved. But what could I
do? I had to prosecute.
"A woman says So-and-So Is the
father of her child. This is i'm
possible to prove definitely and
But because of
public opinion, the burden of proof
usually is on the man. Except for
blood tests, he can offer us no
foolproof evidence he wasn't re-
sponsible. Besides. the city tries
to avoid carrying the woman and
child on the relief rolls. So we go
to court"
Mr.. Schatkin has made a study
of paternity statutes and cases
around the country. He said the
same unfair" percentages apply
nationally that he has found in
this city.
Many Convictions Unjust.
81 would say that three Of every
four paternity trials result in con-
victions," MIR. Schatkin estimated"
and "at least one out Of four is
an unjust conviction.
The trouble is that public feel
ing. is always against the man.
Evening star., 1951-10-28

This Is reflected in the courts. and
the laws. are slanted in favor of
the woman.
"I'he law should require cor
roboration of the woman's testi-
mony. 1t doesn't. anywhere in the
country. Even in rape case. YOU
can't get a conviction without cor
roboration of the victims story,
But not in paternity suits
ALSO, every court should be
obliged to recognize the scientific
exactitude of blood tests A blood
test can't determine who the
father is. But it definitely can
determine who isn't. In many OF
our States, exclusion by blood test
is not recognized in the courts"
Woman Borrowed Child.
In some instances, Mr.. Schat-
kin believes. the woman also
should be given a blood test. He
recalls a case in which blood tests
showed the alleged father was not
the father. Tests were then given
to the woman who had charged
him WITH fathering her child, She
wasn't the mother. 1t came out
she simply had borrowed" a
child in the hope of pulling Oh a
little fraud.
Feeling the way he does about
his job. Mr.. Schatkin looks for
ward to retiring from office In
seven years. After that?
"I'n go into private practice" he
said, land start defending the
man."
