LIFE IN DANGER
Gouzenko glances neryously over
his shoulder as he talks, looks out
the window, keeps an eve on pass
ers-by when he walks down the
street. His actions are those of one
who knows that he is the most
wanted man in the world as far
as the Kremlin is concerned.
He knows what pains the Krem-
lin took to reach all the way to
Mexico City to murder Trotsky,
He kaows also that the Kremlin
must necessarily make an example
OF him in order to discourage 9TH
ers in Soviet military circles with
espionage secrets from doing what
he did
So you can't blame him for look
ing over his shoulder, and peering
through the window at the ap-
preach OF an automobile.
The Canadian Royal Mounted
Police was the agency which came
to Gcuzenko's rescue during those
hectic September days in 1915 when
beth the Ottawa Journal and the
Minister Of Justice turned him
down. And the Mounted Folice
have been his friends ever since.
One of them serves as a guard
for his hot Sc day and night, work
ing as a gardener. Incidentally this
gives Mrs Gouzenko wonderful
baby-sitter service. Mrs. Gouzenko,
by the way, is an extremely beau
tiful woman of about % and a
great asset to her husband.
1t was Mrs. Gouzenko who, when
Igor hesitated to make the fate
full break with the Soviet Embassy
in the summer Of 1915, urged him
to do it in way that would help
the country they hoped to adopt
Canada.
The Gouzenkos had a two-year-
old child at that time, and she was
six months on the way to having

husband through the hot streets of
Ottawa that day, leading the two

Illegal Babies
Are Big Gamble
BY ELIzABEH TooMEY
up Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK up Everybody
takes chance in an Illegal baby
adoption, but the one with the most
at stake in the gamble is the baby.
Adoptions are for the benefit Of
the child, social workers and legal
authorities emphasize. The casual
exchange of money and babies III
black market rings results in many
stories of disrupted lives never
known outside small circle Of
family and friends.
Twenty per cent of the indepen-
IDENTIFY placed babies were taken out
of their adaptive homes before final
adoption papers were approved, a
California citizens committee re-
ported recently aet,r a three-year
study of state adoption problems.
This compared to less than one
per cent of such babies when place
ments were mace by agencies.
These figures can't begin to show
the unsuccessful baby placements
that never reach official records,
since the figures s:e based on cas-
es where adoption petitions were
filed in courts.
In other cases that never reach
courts adaptive parents have
changed their minds about wanting
the child or the baby has turned
out to be mentally or physically
handicapped
A beautiful baby girl two months
..old currently occupies one of the
cribs in a New York City adop.
ton ageny. She has fair skin and
reddish brown hair Any coupie
anxious for child would consider
themselves lucky to get the baby.
DIFFERENT RACES
The agency's records show the
bsby's father was of one race, her
mother of another. Careless prac-
tice by black market baby rings
could easily result in adoption with
out any knowledge of the mixed
blood
One New York couple happily
paid the black market price for a
two week old infant who looked
healthy and normal. In a few
months they realized the baby was
blind
Unfortunate adoptions which get
most public attention are those
where the mother changes her
mind and finally goes to court to
demand the return Of her baby.
Il have helped several girls get
their babies back said Mrs. Helen
Butenweiser. In most cases, it is
unfortunate for the couple who has
hoped to adopt the baby, but tie
law protects the rights of the ma
tural mother.
One girl came to me because the
babyS father. soldier who had
gone overseas and hadn't been told
the girl was pregnant, found out
through friend and wrote that
he wanted to marry her so they
could keep the child.
The girl had agreed to give UP
the baby long before he was born
since she was desperate for help to
get her through the pregnancy and
found doctor wEo had arranged
many such adoptions.
we filed a writ Of habaes corpus
and got the baby back when he was
six months old The girl and TIE
soldier married and are happy. In
this case, the losers were the two
who soped to adopt the baby.
