DAFOE RESIGNS
Finns Push Into Russia
E
Prefers To Be Free to Watch
Health Without Bother of
Business Arrangements.
Callander, Ont., Dec. 29 (P)
Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe was re
ported reliably today to have
resigned as one of the Dionne
quintuplets' guardians.
"I cajinot say anything until
it becomes official," commented
the gray-haired physician who
has cared for the famous chil
dren since their birth May 28,
1934.
He declared last Saturday
that he had been seeking for
two years to be relieved of his
duties as one of the three guard
ians named by the state.
He said he would prefer to
be "free to watch their health
and personal well-being and not
bother with business arrange
ments as at present."
Premier Mitchell Hepburn,
vacationing at his farm near
St. Thomas, said he had no in
formation that an agreement
had been reached between Dr.
Dafoe and the quintuplets'
father, Oliva Dionne.
Some sources here said an
understanding had been reach
ed whereby Dr. Dafoe would
resign as guardian and Dionne
would drop court action against
the doctor in connection with
contracts allegedly involving
the quintuplets' names.
