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

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. The father, George Kozmin,

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.

Clayton, in his ruling, said he :
could not send the children to
a Godless country. 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."

live in fear of this happening to you.
Just sprinkle a little FASTEETH, the

Missiles Will Be
Supplementary To
Heavy Carriers
San Francisco f The U S
Navy's top missile expert
Rear Adm. 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.

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

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.
