The case Of little Hildy Nc
Coy. the 6-year-old youngster
born to q Catholic mother in
Massachusetts, but adopted by
q Jewish couple who fed to
Florida, is apt to create certain
misimpreSsions.
Hildy. it will be recalled, was
taken into her foster parents
home when she was 10 days
old, presumably with the con-
sent of her unwed mother
Years later when her foster
parents attempted to complete
the adoption, they were pre-
vented from doing so by Massa-
chusetts courts. So they took
Hildy to Florida to adopt her
there.
The reason given was that
Massachusetts, law requires
adoption by persons of the
same religious faith. There has
BEEN q resulting assumption
that most States have laws to
this effect, Florida being an
exception.
Actually. it is the other way
around. Only nine States give
important consideration to re-
ligion in their adoption laws

Epilepsy Group
Takes Over Estate

The Federal Association for
Epilepsy announced yesterday
it has formally taken title to the
21l-acre Hibbs estate near Lees
burg, Va, where it plans to
establish the National Childrens
Rehabilitation Center.
An association announcement
said Mrs. M. T. Broyhill. asso-
citation president, and Harold
Babbitt, secretary treasurer
signed for the association. The
property has been held in trust
by the National Savings and
Trust Co. Of Washington since
1928.
The first group Of children
will move into the center from
The associations house in Brent
wood, Md. as soon as workmen
complete necessary alterations,
the association announced. The
association said it is accepting
applications for admission to
the center because Of the ex-
banded capacity at the new
site.
Mrs. Broyhill said plans call
for construction Of a unit of
buildings within the next year
which would house and provide
classroom and workshop facili-
ties for "a children.
She added that funds for re-
firing the balance of the debt
and to inaugurate the building
program will be raised through
an wide campaign to be
launched in September.

in the courts. The legal re-
quirement is that the courts
must give custody Of adopted
children to persons Of the same
faith when practicable"
Decided by Judge
In Massachusetts, the Judge
decided it was not practicable"
to let Hildy be adopted by the
Jewish couple with whom she
had lived for five years. in spite
of the fact that her real mother
made no prior effort to claim
her. In Florida things are diff
ferent.
The point is that few. if any,
other States would have raised
the kidnapping" cry as did Mas
sachuSettS- when Hildy was
taken to Florida. Possibly. too.
most Governors. as did Gov.
Collins Of Florida. would have
denied Massachusetts demands
for extradition.

READERS LETTER

Dear DIR. Steincrohn: Some
times 1 think that I don't get
my moneys worth when / have
been to my doctor. In these
days of high prices for every
thing you like to feel that you
are not throwing your money
away.
For instance, I went to him
the other day complaining OF
feeling nervous and run down.
He looked me all over care
fully, as he always does. He
has a reputation for being UNI
hurried and thorough. Then
he had his laboratory techni-
clan take a hemaglobin test.
When it was all over-vthe
visit took about an hour and
a Quarter-he didn't even give
me q prescription to be filled
He did take time to explain my
symptoms, told me how to eat,
TO rest more and how to pre-
vent quarrels with my husband.
I thought he had forgotten
to write the prescription so ]
asked him: What kind OF medi-
cine will I have to take? He
smiled and said: you don't
need any. All you need to DC
is follow the advice have given
you today. Your hemagobin Is
all right and so is everything
else. You don't need vitamins
or verve medicine. II you ever
do. I'll be the first to prescribe
them for you"
1 thanked him and left his
office. But frankly. I was still
disappointed. I had spent SIC
for the visit and felt that ]
was walking out empty-handed

that I have good cause fol
feeling as / do about itP Sin
cerely. Mr.. L. v.

take the trouble to package i
in such q way that you wall

It is human nature TO TAKE
health for granted. We CAM
see 1t. feel 1t, touch 1t, or heal
it. When we feel healthy II Il
q natural feeling and w
give it little thought.
II is for this reason that
have often told my colleague
that a patient feels cheated
when he walks out Of the Of

not suf1icient. He must hav
some tangible evidence Of hi

As we do not have pack

led the European Payments
Union which solved most cur
Irency problems. That permitted
Europe to get on with the Or
/ ganization for European Eco
lnomic Cooperation. an attempt
to remove mechanical trade re-
strictions-national quotas, for
instance.
/ BY the first of last year 90
per cent of these restrictions had
been removed in Europe. But
Scandinavian countries. which
used to depend on quotas. said
they would refuse to join in
abolishing the remaining 10 per
cent unless the other countries
began removing their tariffs.
The OEEC cannot deal with
tariffs. so another mechanism
was needed if the momentum
toward free trade was not to
be lost.
The Continental Six produced
their common market and
Euratom ideas. But Britain re-
jected these on grounds that
commercial ties with the Com
lmonwealth would keep her from
joining European customs
union and that the suprana-
tional political aspects of the
schemes were unacceptable.
But the fact that the Six
seemed ' serious made Britain
look harder for a Europe-wide
solution to trade problems-and
when. last week. the Six reached
actual agreement on treaties
providing for a common market
and atomic pool. the general
cause Of economic interrogation
received a powerful boost.
Who first thought up the free
trade area" scheme is not kn0wn,
but the chances are Britain sug-
gested 1t privately to the Six.
who in turn recommended pub
licly that the OEEC study the
idea. Britain promptly backed
the study proposal.
