ago. she told Policewoman Alma
Taylor. She left Victor, 5, San
dra. 3, and James, three months,
on a bench in New York's
bustling Grand Central Terminal
last Friday.
Faced Bleak Christmas
Mrs. Pierce said she would
ratiier lose her children than
face the prospect of a bleak
Christmas morning,, possibly
without lights and electricity,
in her relief project apartment
at Waterbury, Conn.
Victor had pleaded for a pair
of roller skates for Christmas.
Little Sandra "was expecting a
red wagon" from Santa. But she
was unable to buy the presents
with the S20 meal ticket she
received from the city each
week.
Mrs. Pierce, grey-eyed, and
dressed in slacks, a sweater and
a tweed coat, said the city paid
her rent in the relief project
and had also promised to pay
her electric bill, which was six
months past due. But she said
the bill was not yet paid and
the power company threatened
to turn off her electricity "any
day."
Seeks Her Brother
She could have got a S35 a
week job as a waitress, she said,
but it would have cost S15 a
week to have the children cared
for while she worked.
Mrs. Pierce went to the Jack
sonville Traveler's Aid Bureau
to seek help in locationg a broth
er she believed was stationed
af Eglin Air Force Base in north
west Florida. The bureau found
through a routine check that
Mrs. Pierce was wanted for
child abandonment in New
York.
The children were found by
station officials and turned over
to New York police. They are
being cared for by the city.
Mrs. Pierce said she would
waive extradition. A policewom
an from New York was being
sent to return her there.

Nehru's Pants Style
Came from Mongolia
Gettysburg, Pa. UJ.R) Those
white jodhpur-like pants Indian
Prime Minister Nehru is sport
ing on his current visit to the ;
United States originated in the
13th and 14th century. '
They were first worn by Mon
golians who invaded and con
quered northern India men
who spent most of their time
astride horses.
The close-fitting calves and
flaring hips make the pants
mighty comfortable for horse
back riding but Nehru's valet,
Abdul Hamid, probably doesn't
particularly relish pulling them
over the Prime Minister's feet
every morning.
With the passage of years, the
pants lost their direct func
tional association with horse
back riding and became a tradi
tional garment for the Kashmir
gentleman to wear, for dress or
business. Nehru comes from
: Kashmir and has a natural affin-
I ity for the pants.
And how does the Prime Min
ister keep them up? With a
' drawstring like the one in your j
pajama pants.
