She started with the VA at the TB hospital at Legion, Tex., and was at the San Fernando, Calif., hos pital for 19 years before coming to Camp White in 1951.

(International Sovmdphof) Baby of Catholic Mother, Adopted by Jewish Couple, Pawn in Legal Battle Camp White Receives Canteen Service Gifts Camp White The Hollywood Canteen Service has designated Camp White as being among Veterans ' Administration hospi tals to receive gifts made pos sible by a surplus account re main from contributions for war benefits. Two ebony table model TV sets are being sent to the dom iciliary station by this organiza tion, composed of public spirited citizens of the movie capital. Four TV installations are now in use here. The other sets were donated by service organizations in Oregon. Boston (U.PJ In the winter of 1951 a child was born to a student nurse at a private hos pital, a child that became the pawn in a grim legal battle. . The mother was not married but everything had been ar ranged even before the infant drew its breath. Marjorie Mc Coy's physician had found a childless couple who would be glad to adopt tiny Hildy McCoy. Dr. Herman C. Sands, of Sa lem, Mass., didn't tell Marjorie who the adopting parents were. She didn't ask. Later she said she assumed they were Catholics as she was. Adoption Papers Signed Hildy, now four years old, was bom Feb. 23, 1951, On March 5 her mother signed the adoption papers and the baby was turned over to Mr. and Mrs. Melvin B. Ellis of Brookline, Mass. The Ellises are Jewish. Three weeks later, March 27, 1951, Marjorie was asked to sign the adoption papers a second time so her signature could be notarized. She learned then for the first time that the Ellises were Jews. A state law requires that adop ting parents must be of the same religious faith as the child's nat ural mother "whenever practi cal." Probate Judge James F. Rey nolds, who later ordered the Ellises arrested for "open defi ance of the law," has found that Marjorie withdrew her consent to the adoption "in the late sum mer or early fall of 1951." That's less than a year after surrender ing Hildy. Regional Safety Conference Slated A regional industrial safety conference for Jackson, Jose phine, and Klamath counties will be held in Medford some time this fall, according to the State Industrial Accident com mission. Preliminary plans were .dis cussed bjr the planning commit tee at an organizational dinner meeting last week at the Jack son hotel. Members of the com mittee from Jackson county are William Burt, Herbert Sampert, Chann, .Drew, Robert Shaw, Claude' . Haggard, Glen Best, Gene Foresee, Arthur Davies Bert Wright, H. Barnhart, and Frank Suttcliff. 'A number of regional confer ences will be held around the state this year, supplanting the annual Governors Safety Con ference. Between 200 and .400 persons are expected here for the southern Oregon meeting. Boston (U.R An arsonist, convicted of setting the fire in a vacant building that spread and burned down four homes had a ready explanation for the judge: "The place was an eye sore. It haunted me." ' Tuesday July 12. 1833 MEDFORD .(OREGON). MAIL. TrOTUXE THRZaV $ LOOK AT TH IS WEEKS However, the record shows that the motion to withdraw con sent was not filed until June 9, 1A53 nearlv two years after Mariorie sisned it. Judge Reynolds nullified the adoption promptly on June 15, 1953, but the Ellises kept Hildy and appealed to the Massachus etts Supreme Court which up held the lower court last Feb ruary. On June 28 the high court re fused the stay of execution of Judge Reynolds' order to surren der Hildy. On July 1, he issued an order to arrest the Ellises. Their lawyer successfully chal lenged the arrest order on con stitutional grounds but counsel for Mrs. Doherty promptly won a writ of habeas corpus for the child as the lawyers boxed and sparred. Mather Wont Talk And there it lies. The Ellises are bitter. Marjorie, now Mrs. Marjorie McCoy Doherty, will not talk to newsmen. She intends to turn Hildy over to the Cath olic Charitable Bureau for adop tion by Catholic parents if the court order is carried out. Ellis, owner of a dry cleaning firm, said he was "prepared to go to jail. That would be my small protest against the law." In an effort to keep the child the Ellises have agreed to raise the girl as a Catholic.
