Russian Parents of Four Start Homeland Trip Without Children Chicago IP The Russian parents of four small children were en route to their homeland ! alone today after their nine ! month-old son was taken from jhis mother"s arms as they pre pared to board a train. Sheriff's deputies intercepted the couple at La Salle Street Sta tion Tuesday as they sought to spirit at least one of their chil dren with them on their journey back to a lifetime behind the Iron Curtain. Makes No Protest The mother, Mrs. Nabejda Kozmin, 35, surrendered the in fant to authorities without pro test.

Slave Laborers The Kozmins. former slave la borers in Russia, came to the U.S. with their three older sons ( in 1950 as displaced persons. I Three years later, the parents ' suffered mental breakdowns and were hospitalized. Their chil dren, aged 10, 8. 7 and 9 months, were placed in the custody of the court. After the Kozmins were re leased from the hospital, they sought to regain custody of their sons and applied for a visa to re turn to the Soviet. Judge John H. Clayton Jr. re fused to relinquish the children to their parents in an appeal in May, 1956, and rejected a second plea by the Kozmins on May 15 this year. The Kozmins then an nounced they were determined to return to Russia, even with out their children. Pnrse-size flacop; of world-famed Perfnme by Bonrjois! 5Q95 ONLY sq. yd.

The older boys, who can recall living in no country other than America, said they did not want to go to Russia. Final Bid Made The parents' attorney, Ste phen Love, made a final bid Tuesday to persuade Clayton to change his ruling. Clayton turned down the plea and re jected a compromise proposal by Love that the Kozmins be al lowed to take the infant only. A short time later, federal agents assigned to watch the Kozmins informed Cook county officials the parents were in the railroad station with Peter. Sheriff's deputies, armed with a warrant for custody of the baby, rushed to the station in time to serve it on the parents. Love said the parents will fly from New York to Russia. He said the Russian embassy made the arrangements and is financ- ; ing the trip. "They are just unhappy and want to go home," Love said of the couple. "It's very simple."

William F. Raborn Jr., declared here Tuesday night that the Navy's fearsome new push-button weapons will remain as "supplementary" to the heavy carrier "for at least 10 to 15 years." Defense of Carriers Raborn. who is in direct charse of the Navy's Polaris intermedi ate range ballistic missile pro gram, made a strong defense of his service's carriers both in a speech before the American Rocket Society and at a press conference preceding the ban quet session. Replying to often-made charges that nuclear warfare had made the modern surface fleet obso lete, Raborn declared that "the hydrogen bomb has no more out moded carriers than it has out moded armies, or life itself upon this planet." The admiral said the elusive U.S. Fleet, with its enormous striking power, constantly roam ing "a million square miles of ocean'' presents a threat that the Russians dare not ignore." Thus, he said, to prevent im mediate retaliation, the enemy would be unable to start a war with the United Slates without directing his first fire upon these fleets. This would alert the na tion and prevent a sneak attack on the defenses and Strategic Air Command bases on the mainland. ROBBERIES DISCOURAGING Totowa, N.J.

LISTEN TO I Paratrooper Pinned Under Plane Succumbs Dangling in Slipstream Ft. Bragg, N. C. W A young paratrooper pinned to the under belly of a troop-carrier plane mouthed the word "please" more than 100 times, but died dan gling in the deafening slipstream Tuesday when crewmen failed to rescue him. The crew tried for nearly three hours to free Pfc. Wayne H. Glugum, 23, of Leland, Iowa, whose chute-opening line be came fouled during a training jump. His parachute did not open. Doctor's estimate he died in the air before a final effort to drop him on a foam-cushioned runway could be carried out. A jet plane sent aloft in a rescue attempt, nudged the spreadeagled soldier with its wingtip tank in an effort to dis lodge him so rescuers could pull him into the plane. May Have 'Drowned' "It was a 90 degree angle and we just couldn't get him up that high," said Sgt. Salvador M. Schrunk Calls for Narcotic Crackdown Portland 'IPi A joint city county crackdown on narcotics addiction was called for here Tuesday by Mayor Terry Schrunk in a letter to Multno mah County District Attorney Leo Smith. The mayor's letter said he was enclosing considerable ma terial on narcotics use in the city and suggested a campaign against both users and sellers of illicit drugs.

"One man had hold of each of his hands and I grabbed the back of his fatigues but the slipstream was so strong we couldn't hold him." Doctors said Flugum may have "drowned" in the sea of rushing air or been crushed against the plane by the terrific pressure of its slipstream. Flugum indicated to crewmen trying frantically to haul him back aboard the plane that his helmet strap was choking him. Crewmen finally cut his body Suggestions Listed For Traveling Yets S. T. Brannock, officers in charge, Veterans administration office, Medford, has r e 1 eased several suggestions to veterans and dependents of deceased vet erans receiving monthly checks from the VA who plan to take vacation trips this year. Brannock advised those re ceiving VA checks who are leav- ng the city to request the post office or a neighbor to care for the mail while gone. He added those with changed addresses should notify the VA office. According to Brannock if a monthly check is lost or not del ivered the VA should be notified immediately. When writing the VA. he suggested veterans identify themselves with the "C" number the VA assigns to each claim, and for dependents the "XC" number. Under the law, the post office normally will not forward a VA benefit check, Brannock said, adding it is best to keep checks away from unauthorized persons who may have access to the mail box.

Zamudio said later that Flu gum "talked to us but he couldn't hear himself because of the noise and it was mostly lip reading and sign language." When Flugum indicated that the helmet strap was cutting off his breathing Zamudio said he tried to remove the helmet, "But I just couldn't reach it." He said Flugum's lips formed the word "please" over and over. "He must have said 'please' a hundred times, asking us to 'please' get him in the plane. We just couldn't."
