PROBLEM BABE
NORMAL CHILD
Denver, Jan. 29 VP) "Johnny
Doe,'; ...Denver.' day-old problem
child, was described as a normal,
brown-haired infant today at the
hospital where his 13 year old mo
ther rested under the care of physl-
clans and wondered if she would be
permitted to keep her son.
The birth of the seven-pound
youngster yesterday was the climax
of a strange social question raised
by the baby's grandmother. She ap
pealed unsuccessfully to the courts
for a birth control operation to be
performed on her granddaughter,
contending motherhood would Im
peril the girl's life. Doctors disagreed
and refused to perform the opera
tion.
The father, John W. Drewer, 45, is
In the Colorado penitentiary, serving
a 20-year sentence on a morals off
ense conviction.
The name of the 13-year old nu
ther has not been disclosed.

Will Rogers, noted humorist, rescued

told her he was "going to Washing

Rogers had invited Mrs. Roussel to
his hotel to present her aide of tne
present controversy. When she ap
peared, her rood was blocked by po
licemen. She fled past one ann slap
ped another, but she couldn't get by
a third.
Thereupon she began battling. She
screamed for Rogers. The humorist

demanded that the officers unhand
her, which they did.

Roussel emerged with a happy smile
on her face.
Rogers says he is going to Wash

said, "and he Is going to try to per
suade him to give the people their

Mrs. Roussel said Rogers was par

That accident were not more

PIERCE OPPOSES
FALL PRIMARY
Roseburg, Jan. 29 (P) The Ore
gon legislature should withhold ac
tion on the proposed bill to change
the primary election to the month
of September until congress acts
upon a proposed constitutional
amendment to place general elec
tions in October instead of Novem
ber, Congressman Walter M. Fierce
states In a message received here
this morning by Dr. O. H. Bailey,
editor of the Oregon Orange Bulle
tin. Tt would be folly for any slate to
change its primary date, while the
discussion of the constitutional
amendment is pending in congress,
Representative Pierce declares.
"Oregon people," however, "should
be made to see the danger of the
plan for September primaries. It
would put a high premium on ad
vertising and would make it im
possible for a person to conduct i
leisurely campaign for office. He
would be obligated to campaign by
radio, newspaper and ballyhoo, be
cause he could not possibly cover a
territory like mine, for instance, in
two months. It means that money
will win in the cumpalgn and that
newspapers will tighten their con
trol on public opinion. There Is i
disadvantage In the early primaries,
but the advantages are all In the
interest of society."
Mr. Fierce urges the Oregon
Orange to take a strong stand
against the movement.
