Fast Recovery
Hopes Mount
For President
; By ERNEST B. VACCARO '
DENVER W Mounting hopes
that President Eisenhower may
return to the helm of government
within a" month were strengthened
Wednesday when the oxygen tent
was removed from his hospital
room for 13 hours. - ,
There was no thought of his as
suming the burdens of a full White
HousS schedule that soon. But,
barring complications, administra
tive associates seem agreed he
jviil be able to make any necessary
decisions from the calm of his
farmhouse at Gettysburg, Pa.
The President will be 65 oa Oct
14. - -, t '
N Complications ' ;
A medical bulletin issued at 8:15
p. m. (MST) said:
"The President spent a comfort
able day without complications.
. - "He returned to the oxygen tent
at 7:30 p.m. (MST) this evening.
Newsmen noted that Wednesday
night's formal bulletin was the
first since early Sunday which did
not say that Eisenhower was mak
ing ""satisfactory progress." Asked
whether that was significant.
White House press secretary
James Hagerty replied:
"No, his progress still is satis-'
factory. ' j
The "key words" in all of the
medical bulletins, Hagerty said,
are without complications.
The President's physicians have
said that any complications which
may develop are most likely to
come during the first two weeks
after the heart attack which he
suffered early last Saturday.
No Authority Shift
Presidential advisers abandoned
for the time being any further
consideration of how Eisenhower
could delegate authority to others
as another day passed without
complications.
Hagerty . also disclosed that a
tape recording machine was
brought into the President's' room
at his request and that he listened
briefly to soft chamber music.

Housewife 'Just Had to Have Baby;'
Inquisitive Deputy Spots Kidnaper
SAN FRANCISCO UP) A childless housewife who "just
had to have a baby" remorsefully surrendered Robert Marcus
to a priest in Stockton early Wednesday, nine days after the
newborn boy was kidnaped in San Francisco.
Recovery of the healthy baby, now 11 days old, ended
nation-wide huijt.
Dr. Sanford Marcus, 34, and his
wife, Hanna, 29, sped in a police
car the 82 miles to Stockton from
San Francisco in 75 minutes for
a joyful reunion with their son.
Frightened by the earlier ques
tioning of a sharp-eyed deputy
sheriif, Mrs. Betty Jean Benedic
to, 27, plump and blonde, decided
to give up the baby she bad so
carefully tended while police and
the FBI hunted him from Califor
nia to New York.
Called Doctor
Police were closing in on Mrs.
Benedicto when she stepped to a
telephone in Stockton, called the
anxious Dr. Marcus, told him the
infant was safe and that she was
leaving it at St Mary'a Church
in Stockton.
Father Alan McCoy of St. Mary's
answered his doorbell at the rec
tory and found Mrs. Benedicto
standing - before him, the baby
cradled in her arms.
The hour was 1:15 a.m. Mrs.
Benedicto was crying.
Phone Call Made
Father McCoy was expecting
her, for Dr. Marcus had phoned
him from San Francisco.
Baby Marcus slept through it
all. He was taken to the emer
gency ward of Stockton's St Jo
seph Ho5pital, where Dr. Marcus,
tieless and haggard, and tis fear-
worn wife were reunited with htm.
Dr.' Marcus said, it took "only
a few seconds to become at
least 99 per cent sure" that the
child was his son, stolen from San
Francisco's Mt Zion Hospital Sept.
19. ' .' , - - .
Mrs. Benedicto, tearfully repent-
ent,' was brought to San Francisco
where Dist Atty. Thomas C. Lynch
said be would ask the grand jury
to indict her on a kidnaping
charge. " 4 .
Unconscious
. Taken first to women's prison,
she later was transferred uncon
scious but under uard to
the psychopathic ward at San
Francisco Hospital after she ecl
lapsed during cpt'ioning. '
. Police quoted her as saying, "lie
was so sweet so sweety I had no
right to him, Ij know, but I had
to have him. I ? ved him. He was
such a sweet Lille boy."
District Attotfiy Bradford Crit
tenden of Stockton said the plump
woman sobbed constantly as she
told of playing an elaborate game
of deception upon her husband.
"I just had to have a baby, I
had to have a baby!" he quoted
her as saying, i v
Ex-Publisher - y
She said she was married last ;
October to Marcos Benedicto, 52,
who, had published a Filipino news
paper at Stockton until it dosed
last December. He is a Filipino;
she, Caucasian.
She said that because of a cae-
sarean operation she had been told
she never could have a baby. When
she began to take on weight "my
friends teased me and said they
thought I was pregnant" . .
Mrs. Benedicto toid her husband
she "was pregnant went to River-;
side in Southern California to her
mother, dieted, then returned and
told her husband the baby had
been born but was ill and in a
hospital. ,--;--. ' : !
Then, she said, she went to Mt
Zion Hospital, looked in the nur
sery window at the new-born ba
bies and took baby Robert Marcus
because his name 'was similar to
her husband's. r "
Bought Toys, Clothes ., - - .
Back home, Benedicto welcomed
the baby, thinking it was his own.
He bought it toys and clothes. His
wife cared for it while she listened
to? frantic radio and television
pleas that it be, returned. , j
ThenTuesday night she took the
baby to a boxing match, , where
Deputy Sheriff Osvaldo J. Vannuc
ci spotted her seated with another
woman. She fitted broadcast de
scriptions. ; - , - - .
"1 went over to them, he re
lated, "and the first thing she said
to me was, 'I know what you want
you think I'm the woman who
took the baby from the hospitaL'
Shown Certificate
Mrs. Benedict ;showed Vannuc
ci a birth certificate from a hos
pital "in Lynwood, "near Los An
eeles. Vannucci let her go. Still
suspicious, he checked the Lyn
wood hospital, found no baby by
the! name of Benedicto had been
born there. Then the hunt was cn.
Frightened. Mrs. Benedicto tele
phoned Dr. Marcus, then took. the
baby to the church. ..Meanwhile,
Vannucci talked to Benedicto, who
said until then he thought the baby
was his own. ;
"I'm sorry for that woman,"
Mrs. Marcus said. "She must be
sick. I'm glad she took such ex
cellent care of my boy and brought
him back." . .: -
