BewiIdered Parents
Plead TO kidnapers 10
Care for Infant Boy
BY the Asseeioisd Press

MICHIGAN CITY. Ind. Oct. IS.
"A bewildered father and a pain
wracked mother clung today to
the hope that their plea to take
good care of our baby and bring
him back" would be needed.
James Lyons, 37-year-old serv-
ice station operator, and his wife,
Frances. waited in hope and fear
as police searched garbage cans
and sewers and questioned count
less persons.
The baby was Lawrence James
Lyons. first child of the 37-year-
old Mrs. Lyons, born last Tues
day by Caesarian section. He dis
appeared from his crib at st. An
thongs Hospital Saturday night.
Police said they are virtually
without clues.
In Row of Cribs.
They discounted the possibility
that the Lyons baby was taken by
someone who just wanted a baby
any baby. The boy was in q
row Of cribs with others on both
sides in the nursery. d.
Police said a nurses aide. Mar
lene Lubs, told them some one
asked her (which baby was the
Lyons baby" That was less than
two hours before another nurses
aide noticed the empty crib.
"It looks like whoever did this
wanted that baby alone" Police
Chief Arthur Menke said.
Miss Lubs couldn't give any
clues to the identity of the in
quirer.
Didn't Look Around.
Il didn't even look around, -
she said. II was so busy, I Just
pointed to the baby. don't even
remember if it was a man or
woman"
Kidnapping for ransom seemed
unlikely. Mr.. Lyons said he has
no money and no enemies.
Choking up so that he could
hardly talk, Mr.. Lyons went on a
radio station to describe the
baby's formula and plead, I'D like
to say please take good care of our
baby"
! Don't harm him. and return
him to the hospital, police station
or to our home at GIG Wabash, u
Mr.. Lyons begged.

Corliss Lamont Hits
Denial Of Passport
BY The Associated Press

NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-Corliss
Lamont says the State Depart
ment refused, obviously on politi-
cal grounds" to grant him a pass
port for travel to Europe.
The one-time chairman of the
National Council of American
Soviet Friendship says he has
written to President Truman fol-
help.
In Washington, the State De-
partment confirmed that Mr.. La
mont was refused passport on
the ground his projected trip
would be contrary to United States
interests.
MIR. Lamont. philosophy lee
turer at Columbia University, is
a son of the late fnancier, Thomas
w. Lamont.
Former Communist Louis Bu-
denz told a Senate Internal Sc
curity subcommittee last August
that Mr.. Lamont was a Commu-
mist. Mr.. Lamont denied the
charge.
In his letter to Mr.. Truman,
Mr.. Lamont described the State
Department action as "a kind of
house arrest"
He charged that the passport
was denied because he disagreed
publicly with certain aspects of
United States foreign policy. He
added that he made mo secret
that so dissent, and vigorously. -
The State Department action
against him, Mr.. Lamont said.
brings into effect the arbitrary
and undemocratic procedures of
restricting international travel
which vein American have prop
erly objected to when practiced by
Soviet Russia and other nations. y
