Reconsideration
Of SP Case Asked
Salem -(CPU- The Interstate
Commerce commission has
been petitioned to reconsider
its May 6 decision which al
lowed Southern Pacific com
pany to curtail its Portland-
San Francisco passenger sche
dules during off-season pe
riods, Public Utility Commis
sioner Jonel C. Hill said.
Oregon's PUC and the Cali
fornia Regulatory commission
had filed similar requests.
Under the ICC order, SP is
permitted to operate its Shas
ta Daylight schedules three
times a week from Jan. 15 to
May 28 and from Sept. 16 to
Dec. 14 of each year.
Hill maintained the ICC's
finding that operation of the
Shasta Daylight, "on other
than a tri-weekly' schedule" is
not required by the public
convenience and necessity
during off-peak periods "is
not supported by the evidence."

BABIES FOR SALE
By Jo Ann Shore x
Cautiously hiding under the
skirts of respectability, black
and gray marketeers are sup
plying the country with a
commodity unknown as such,
a century ago. The commodity
babies. "
In those pioneer days of the
adoption movement (1851 to
about 1875) no one could pre
dict that a baby "business"
would spring up decades later.
Today, black marketeers do
"business'' among an estimat
ed one million childless
couples who each year at
tempt to adopt children.
Business is profitable, too.
Last year one ring located in
Florida cleared $50,000 profit.
But cheaper services are of
fered through gray markets,
which are essentially respect
able doctors or lawyers who
place children at reasonable
service fees. The gray marke
teer is unlike the black mar
keteer, in that he is usually
sincere' in his efforts to place
children in good homes.
Eager Couples
Both the black and gray
marketeer have a large group
with which to operate. For
there are about ten eager
couples for every adoptable
infant. : !
What causes the black and
gray market in babies? The
major problem is that there
are simply not enough infants
to adopt. Antiquated, state
adoption laws, strict require
ments, and a maze of red tape,
are what the"' baby seller
thrives on.
Waiting lines are long at
adoption agencies-too long-
and the requirements too rigid
and exacting. So, the black or
gray market offers a quick
service' to an impatient
couple.
Slow and unsympathetic
agencies often follow the law
to the letter, insist on match
ing parents and children to
the last minute detail concern
ing religion, coloring, and
other inherited qualities.
Adoptive parents must meet
strict financial, . social, age
and physical requirements.
While many of these pre-adop-
tion scrutinies are necessary,
too much attention is paid to
minor details; and few excep
tions are made. '
' Therefore, some prospective
parents who either cannot ful
fill all the requirements, or
desire to speed up the process,
resort to the black or gray
market.
Red Tap Eliminated
, The usual red tape required
of reputable agencies is omit
ted in black markets, and
qualifications of adoptive par
ents need be only enough
ready cash.
. This quick, simple way oft
en leads to trouble. Black
market operators do not have
the time, freedom, nor the in
clination to investigate the
real mother's background or
physical condition, nor that
of the adoptive parents. The
racketeer's main supply of
babies ' comes from unwed
mothers whose only desire is
to be rid of their children as
soon as possible, thus making
investigation difficult, if not
impossible.
Couples in a hurry to adopt
may regret their haste if they
proceed without the aid of a
legitimate agency. In a study
of 200 adoptive homes made
at the Clinic of Child Develop
ment at Yale a few years ago,
the late Dr. Catherine Ama
truda showed that of 100 inde
pendent placements, only 46
rated good (where parents
and child were well-adjusted
to each other), 26 rated fair,
and 28 bad. The 100 agency
matched placements scored
much better. Dr. Amatruda
rated 76 good, 16 fair and 8
bad.
Another study, made by
the -California Citizens'! Com
mittee on Adoption gave evi
dence that one of every five
children obtained through
black or gray markets was
never legally adopted or was
shunted to several couples be
fore finding a permanent
home. In contrast, only one
agency baby in 100 was not
adopted by the couple who
first receive him.
Although the facts show
that "purchasing" a baby is
not the easy way out, the prac
tice continues. Why? For one
thing, in 1957 black and gray
markets were not against the
law in 34 states. All of these
Oregon included w o u 1 d
grant a decree that makes the
adoption legal. And even in
states were baby-selling is a
criminal offense, prosecution
is difficult. Many of these
cases involve interstate trans
actions and there are no fed
eral adoption laws. .
Oregon is an example of a
state where laws are lax. Ore
gon's present .laws make
"baby selling'.' illegal, but they
are not effective in preventing
private individuals from en
gaging in. child-placing. In the
37 years since the law against
child-selling was passed only
on conviction has been re
corded. That was In the case
of a Portland woman who was
who said "punishment wasn't
enough."
Legislative action would
help alleviate the "black mar
ket" problem. A public adop
tion agency established by
state law would afford an
answer. Funds allocated ' by
the state would make it pos
sible for the State Public Wel
fare Board to place youngsters
for adoption.
(Editor's note: Legislation
along these lines was passed
this year. The article was writ
ten prior to the legislator's
adjournment.)
A public adoption agency
would serve the whole state,
and not just a special group,
such as Protestants, Catho
lics or Jews, as is the case now
with some agencies. In addi
tion, state control of a public
agency would cause private
agencies to re-examine their
standards.
Legislators, aided by social
workers, would be in a posi
tion to evaluate ' outmoded
state laws controlling child
placement, and to make com
promises which would result
in better placements in a
shorter length of time, if, a
public agency were estab
lished. Laws that are too lax are
allowing black and gray
marketeering to exist. The
most obvious evidence of the
laxiety of the laws is in the
few actual convictions of per
sons engaged in black mar
keting babies. To prevent in
cessant black" market oper
ations, laws should be passed
in states which do not already
have them, prohibiting the
act of selling babies and mak
ing it a felony instead of a
misdemeanor.
Along the same line, laws
should be enacted which pro
hibit gray marketing of ba
bies. Few states currently
have such a law. Oregon has
a law prohibiting black mar
keting of babies, but not gray
marketing. Because gray mar
keting has not been deemed
as dangerous as black mar
keting, little .emphasis has
been placed upon it. How
ever, statistics have shown
this practice to be on an in
crease and surveys indicate
that placements of this nature
are likely to be unsatisfactory
and heartbreaking.
Try and Stop Me
' By BENNETT CERF
A QUICK-DRAW COP in Texas emptied his pistol at a bad
man, missing him completely. Finally, however, he hurled
his empty revolver at the thug and laid him out cold!
In New York an editor
opened a manuscript that
consisted of nudes of a dar
ing young model who want
ed to sell a new "manual of
photography." The editor's
report consisted of a single
line: "I see nothing in this
manuscript except the
modeL"
"If, in going down an in
cline,' proposed a physics in
structor, "I gain four feet per
second, describe my situation
25 seconds later."
'That's easy, prof," insisted one student. TouH be a centipede."
This is a story of a man who may be the stingiest In all New York.
His doctor told W"i his wife must get some sea, air so he fanned
her two weeks with a herring. x

Old Tree Harbors
Spark for Months
1 Springfield - (UPD - Timber
fallers for Weyerhaeuser Tim
ber Co., here have received a
startling lesson in the wily
nature of forest fires.
They felled an old cedar on
the firm's tree farm and the
tree shattered and burst into
flame when it hit the ground.
Company foresters discover
ed that the tree had been
harboring a spark from a
nearby slash' fire late last
last year - more than five
months and the spark had
slowly burned the tree into a
hollow shell without betray
ing its existence.
At a nearby log landing, a
spark from the same fire
crept into rotten wood and
bark and burned underground
until it reached the surface.
