British Doctors Cautiously Support Virgin Birth Claim London U.RJ A report on a detailed study by a team of eminent doctor! gave cautious support today to a mother'! claim she bore a fatherleea child in a virgin birth. The report did not substantiate the claim. But it said the doctors could not disprove it through the series of exhaustive tests they made on the mother .and her 11-year-old daughter. Headed Investigation The report, written for the authoritative medical journal "The Lancet." wai signed by Dr. Stanley Balfour-Lynn, an obste trician. As resident medical of ficer at Queen Charlotte's hos pital, one of London's foremost maternity hospitals, he headed the investigation. "We have found nothing about this child that could have come from anyone but the mother," he wrote. The "patient" is Mrs. Zmml marie Jones, 30. She married her present husband nine years ago, two years after the birth of her daughter, Monica. Their case was unearthed by the London Sunday Pictorial's campaign several months ago to find out how many women in Britain claimed "virgin births." The newspaper narrowed the field down to IB women and asked Dr. Balfour-Lynn to head a team of doctors to investigate. Eleven were eliminated at a preliminary interview. Seven more were eliminated through tests which showed differences in blood types or the color of the eyes of mother and child. Finally, only the blue-eyed Mrs. Jones and' her blue-eyed daughter were left. Besides identical physical fea tures, even to the spacing of their teeth, tie doctors found saliva, blood and taste tests matched the pair perfectly. The report said the probability of so good an agreement between a mother and a daughter, if the daughter had a father, "is less than one in 780."

WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.P) The most controverjial political book of the year was commissioned by Sherman Adams early last sum- when E - . m e r there was more doubt than ' there is now that Pres ident E i c n hower would seek a second term. The book is Robert J. Don ovan's "The I - Inside Story," an astonishingly intimate report of who said what to whom in the secret councils of the Eisenhower Administra tion up to Feb. 29, 1956. That was the day the President made his announcement that he would be a candidate again. The party line at the. White House today is "no comment" on the Donovan book. he book's appearance triggered a political explosion. Democratic politicians are seeking to call a foul on the President for per mitting a newspaper reporter Donovan reports for the New York Herald Tribune to ex amine private and secret papers which are denied to congression al committees. Same newsmen on other papers are calling a foul against what they regard as a monstrous leak of news to someone else. Tne Herald Trib une is not complaining. Dono van's paper gave him time off to write the book. Best Seller Bound The controversy probably will make it a best seller, set up Donovan, his missus and their three children with a golden nest egg and more important put the administration's best foot far forward in this election year. A useful by-product is the fact that future historians will have an invaluable, if partial, record of what went on at the White House pending the ulti mate publication of all the Eisen hower papers. Adams approached Herald Tribune columnist Roscoe Drum mond with the book idea in early summer last year. At that time, Adams could not be sure his boss would run again. Mrs. Eisenhower already was on rec ord against a second term. The President was on the fence, say ing neither yes or no. Several White House intimates became convinced in the winter of 1954 55 that Mr. Eisenhower had made up his mind to retire. That's the way it was when Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Poznan, Poland Rioting workers' shouts, as they waged a six hour revolt against Red rule Thursday: "We need bread!

June 29, 1958 MECFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIYE Adams summoned Drummond weeks before last July's summit meeting in Geneva and, Drum mond finally turned down the idea of doing the book himself. He gave Adams some alternate names, however, and Donovan's was one of them. He was inves tigated by the FBI and given a high "q" clearance for examina tion of secret data. Top govern ment officials were instructed to talk with him freely. Adams then made Donovan acquainted with the White Ho ise files, pro vided an office and awaited re sults. Claims No Censorship The author asserts that there was no censorship nor, even, submission of copy to the White House except with respect to clearance of certain facts ob viously tied closely to national defense. There are 407 pages in the book now published by Har per at $4.95 a copy, and well worth it. What Adams said he wanted was a coherent, connected, in tegrated account of the Eisen hower administration to date. That he seems to have gotten. Donovan's reputation as an ob jective reporter is tops in Wash ington. When he says he was not censored, his colleagues are going to believe it, most of them anyway. Of course there are likely to be slips in so long a book and some political capital may be made of them. Your correspond ent can report that he read with amazement in the first chapter that President-elect Eisenhower personally had invited former President Hoover to his inaug uration and had so instructed the local committee. Your correspondent did not hear it that way at the time, and at the very least must conclude that the local committee misun derstood the instructions. However that may be, Dono van's is a book which will figure in the 1958 campaign. And that, basically, is what Adams want ed it to do. He wasn't sure his boss would go again, but Adams is the kind of man who intends to be prepared for good news if, by chance, it comes. Multnomah Democrats Reelect Chairman Portland U.P.)
