PAGE TCTflHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAT 4, 1934'. Medford Grocers Featuring Special Kellogg Offer This Week IE SALE OF BABIES Young Mothers Compelled to 'Work Out' Unpaid Bills if Tots Can't Be Sold, is Claim Seattle Authorities SEATTLE, Wssh., May 4. (AP) Babies, Just babies, "sold" to pay mothers' hospital bills by so-called maternity homes, with young moth ers compelled to "work out" their unpaid bills If their babies can not be "sold," now have their defenders In a group of aroused citizens. Brought to light through the ac tivities of workers of the Washington Children's Home society, the -homes are now being fought vigorously, mainly at first with the weapon of publicity. Many of their practices re now well known. Seek Low Charge The. prosecutor's office has said It Is helpless under the present law on the placement and adoption of' In fants to act with force. Accordingly, the citizens' committee on adoption has announced a legislative campaign to change the law. Among the newest practices of such homes revealed by Miss Nico tine Klldahl, of the Onildren's Home society, Is that of employing solici tors. She speaks from case records, In saying: "These solicitors put up the sales talk that the prospective mother will be- cared . for by the home free, on condition she signs a reloase to her baby. , Some of the solicitors have been paid salaries of IB or more a week. Others were hired on a com mission basis." " ' stories Heard , ;'' A report given to the citizens'- coflf- ttmittee was made after Interviewing several of the solicitors and receiving their stories, some offered under oath MUs Klldahl said. The usual "price" for babies Is 1125, although sums of 76 and as high as 200 have been paid. No checks are taken. Miss Klldahl's report disclosed: That medical and surgical atten tion are inadequate and the mothers who are forced to work out their bill If they are free patlenta are cruelly treated. ' That few, If any, of the baby homes "selling" the Infant tor' the cost of the mother's care have regis tered nurses, and that sanitary con ditions are lacking. , llnbles Graded That babies are graded by their desirability and the price fixed ac cordingly, and that no mental or physical tests are taken, That one Infant had been "bought"' for 160 down and the balance, 50i on a note; that when Jhe foster par ents were unable to make the pay- meats they were threatened, and In fear of losing It they reported to authorized home-finding agoncles. Among members of the citizens' committee combatting the evil are many social service workers. Mrs. H. M. Bobbins, chairman of the Welfare Council's Children's committee: Miss Helen Collins, executive secretary of the Seattle Council of Catholic Wo men, and Mrs. Howard T. Woolston, board member of the Florence Crlt tenton home nro also actlvo, aa are Chief Prosecuting Attorney Emmett O. Lenlhan and Harry Lewis, child welfare chairman of the American Legion In this area. PULINARY VRAFT By Eitella Dorgan, Director.

UTILE ENTENTE ST T Change in Attitude of France Believed Responsible Rumania Favorably In fluenced by Titulescu BERLIN. (Ut1 Del tire reeoenltlnn of Soviet Russia by the Little En tente may soon be expected, It Is felt here. According to the belief of nniiM. cal students, It Is Imminent, since France- has changed Its policy to ward the Soviets. Far Pmnr'i nnt. Icy always has dominated and still aominatea me Liiuie entente. with respect to the recognition of the Soviets, the oplnlou of the mem bers of the Little Entente has dif fered widely.' Czechoslovakia always has been In favor of recognition and, although dejure recognition was post poned on account of the ties with the Little Entente, Prague, for a long 'time, has been maintaining friendly relations. Yugoslavia, before the war strongly Rusaophtle on account of racial ties, was naturally against Russia after the ascent of the Soviets.. But 'as time went on, Belgrade has become more and more neutral with regard to recognition, Rumania always has been opposed to recognition. Its policy was dic tated largely by the Bessarabia n question. The bovlets steadfastly re fused to recognize the occupation of Bessarabia by the Rumanians after the war. Rumania's policy toward Russia has been influenced chiefly by one man Nicola Titulescu, who stamped his will upon his country's policy even at times when he was not a cabinet minister. Of late, however, Titulescu Influ ence has been waning. This, coup led with the change In French policy, i Is believed soon will bring about a 1 change In Rumania's attitude. STATE OFFICIALS IN FERA FAILURE PORTLAND, May 4. (P Failure of the CWA or FERA set-ups in Ort gon to accomplish the purposes for which they were designed, or Irregu larities in their local administration cannot be charged either to the Roose velt administration or to any act of omission or commission on the part of Representative Charles K. Martin, but must be laid directly at the door of Oregon's Republican state edmln Istratlon, Representative Martin said in a statement released here today. "Rumors of Juggling in the admin istrative personnel of the SERA set up in Oregon can only be confirmed.! or denied by state oflclals," Repre sentative Martin said. ? "The National Relief administra tion knows nothing about reported changes in the personnel of state officials directing state relief work. They took over the state committee end other officers as previously set up by Oregon's governor and have been working through this state com mittee ever since." - "It Is - unreasonable and unjust," Martin said, "that I should be charg ed with responsibility for these ap pointments with which X have had nothing to do, and In respect to changing which I am not consulted."
