And Mrs. Walter Ferguson, Una's mother, could be his star witness if a court fight develops. Welfare of Child "The girl's mother is on Dan's side," Welch said. '"Her sympath ies are all with the boy. She doesn't like the idea of the air man being left while in the ser vice," Welch said. "She believes, as we do, that the health and welfare of the child is best with the father." In an interview with the Un ited Press, Welch also said he would discuss with the Pentagon today legal questions surround ing allotment checks sent to Una. Some of them were received after Septembmer, 1954, when Una says she married Alford D. Fine, 21, a husky Sierra logger, in the belief that Schmidt was dead. The Air Force said earlier it notified Mrs. Schmidt as early as June that her husband was believed alive and a prisoner. Welch announced yesterday that Schmidt will seek a divorce from Una on charges of "extreme cruelty." Una indicated last week end she preferred to remain with Fine. Welch said Schmidt and he believed the airman "could do a better job of raising the child than they (Una and Alford) are now doing." "Fine is living in a trailer. Conditions are not standard. The child can be accorded better treatment with the airman," Welch said. Schmidt now is on a 30-day furlough. Schmidt's mother, Mrs. Nellie Peters, of Portland, Ore., has said she would be glad to take care of Danny if her son gets custody. Schmidt returned home Fri day after spending 32 months as prisoner of the Reds. He was-one of 11 American airmen whose B29 was shot down during the Korean war.
