vealed that Schmidt, 23. whose
wife says she remarried while
he was in a Chinese Communist
prison, will fight for his son,
Daniel Jr., when he files a di
vorce complaint against 21-year-old
Una Schmidt.
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.
