Death of Deformed
Babv Confessed
Liege, Belgium - WPII - A
young mother told a court be
tween sobs today that she kill
ed her Thalidomide-dcformcd
baby because of "the nagging
thought that my child would
all Its life reproach me for
the way I brought It into this
world."
"It was the only solution,"
Mrs. Suzanne Coipel Van De
Put, 25, said in her admis
sion before an overflowing
courtroom that she killed her
one-week-old armless daugh
ter. Given Barbiturates
Mrs. Van De Put went on
trial before an all-male jury
on charges of giving her baby,
Carine, a fatal dose of barbitu
rates mixed with honey in the
child's bottle last May 20. Her
husband, mother, sister and
family doctor are accused of
conspiracy to commit murder.
Asked whether she had
killed her baby, the mother
answered in a weak voice:
"Yes, I admit it ... It was the
only solution."
Mrs. Van De Put told the
court that she took thalido
mide tablets in early stages
of pregnancy.
She said she and her hus
band, Jean - Noel, 35, were
married March 11, 1961, and
had not planned on having a
baby so early in their mar
riage. "liut when we knew it was
on the way we both wanted
it very much," she said.
At no time during her preg
nancy, she testified, did she
believe the baby would not
be normal. She said she pre
pared clothing and a nursery
lor the child, had regular med
ical check ups and perform
ed "painless" exercises.
After the child was born,
she baiu, a uocior told ner
it was not well but added, "it
was uuimng very serious."
Asked what her reaction
was when she finally saw the
bauy, Mrs. Van De iJut burst
into tears. For a lull minute,
she sobbed, while the audience
listened silently.
Then she blurted out: "I
was norrilied."
Annuel uy Court President
Paul - Kmile Trousse whether
ut that moment she thought of
killing the baby, she replied,
"No." Hut she added:
"Day and nignt, 1 had
thought of all possible solu
tions but all the time there
was that nagging thought that
my child would ail its life re
proach me for the way I
brought it into the world. 1
am sure of that. It was the
only solution."

Portland - WPD - Candidates
got in their final pitches today
for a general election which
has not created as much heat
as past Oregon campaigns de
spite some key contests and
issues.
Oregonians Tuesday will
pick a U.S. senator, a gover
nor, four congressmen, a labor
commissioner, a new State
House of Representative sev
eral state senators and decide
on nine statewide ballot meas
ures. They also will decide a
number of interesting local is
sues such as water fluorida
tion in Portland, a merger of
North Bend and Coos Bay and
nearby areas, and whether to
end prohibition in Newberg.
The state's chief election of
ficer, Secretary of state
Howell Appling, forecast no
more than 70 per cent of the
883,600 registered voters
would turn out.
The Democrats have a 78,-
210 margin over Republicans
with 473,561 to 305,351. There
are 14,778 others registered.
Mori Against Unander
Wayne Morse, the 62-year-old
senior senator, Is seeking
his fourth term and his second
as a Democrat. Morse, who de
feated the late Douglas McKay
in 1056, Is up against 40-year-old
Slg Unander, former state
treasurer and U.S. maritime
commissioner.
Gov. Mark Hatfield seeks
his second term. The 40-year-old
Republican is opposed by
Robert Y. Thornton, 52-year-old
state attorney general, and
Robert Wamplcr, an independ
ent. In the congressional races
Republican Rep. Walter Nor
blad Is after his ninth term,
Democratic Rep. Edith Green
is after her fifth and Demo
cratic Rep. Al Ullman his
fourth.
Norblad is opposed in the
first district by Blaine Whip
ple, 32-year-old former Demo
cratic state executive secre
tary. Mrs. Green's third dist
rict GOP rival is Stanley
Hartman, a Portland druggist,
while Ullman is opposed by
Bob Chandler, Bend publisher,
in Eastern Oregon's second
district.
A key congressional race is
in the fourth district, where
Rep. Edwin R. Durno gave up
his House seat to campaign
unsuccessfully for the Repub
lican senatorial nomination.
Democrats hope to recapture
this seat with House Speaker
Robert Duncan of Med ford
while the Republicans have
pinned their hopes on Carl
Fisher, young Eugene broad
cast executive.
Incumbent Labor Commis
sioner Norman Nilsen is op
posed in his bid for a third
term by Republican Pat Blair.
Three of the nine ballot
measures have attracted the
most attention. One would
make summer daylight time
uniform In Oregon, another
would apportion seats in the
Oregon House on area as well
as population and the other
would repeal the 1957 school
district reorganization law. A
measure to make steelhead a
game fish was ruled off the
ballot.
Republicans are hopeful of
regaining control of the Ore
gon House, where the Demo
crats had a 31-29 edge in 1961.
Democrats have a 20-10 State
Senate edge with less than
half the seats up for election.
Morse and Unander made
their only joint appearance of
the campaign on television in
Portland Sunday with Cuba
dominating the debate. Unan
der reiterated his position that
Morse has been soft on Cuba
and said "it is difficult to find
out Sen. Morse's position on
Cuba from time to time."
Morse said his position has
been "consistent with interna
tional law." He said the turn
ing point came when Cuba
crossed the line from defense
to aggression and an earlier
blockade would have amount
ed to "outlawry."

$32 Million in
Surplus Money
Allegedly Spent
Portland-IUPD - Atty. Gen.
Robert Y. Thornton, Demo
cratic candidate for governor,
charged in a talk here Sun
day that "The Hatfield ad
ministration has placed Ore
gon in a serious financial
plight by using up the entire
$32 million surplus the state
had on hand only two years
ago."
Thornton told a rally that
"As a result of using up the
$32 million surplus, it is vir
tually certain that Oregon tax
payers will have to shoulder
new state taxes after next
Tuesday's election."
The attorney general also
charged that bureaus and de
partments were "sitting on"
information that he said may
be harmful to Gov. Mark Hat
field's chances for reelection,
such as the effect of the tax
cuts under a 1961 law on all
Eastern Oregon timbered
counties.
Uproar Said Raised
"When the State Tax Com
mission released figures only
a few days ago that big tim
ber interests in Western Ore
gon were getting 20 per cent
tax cuts under another Hat-field-approved
law, it caused
such an uproar that to date,
with taxes due Nov. 15, they
have not released figures
showing the impact of the
companion law on Eastern
Oregon counties," he said.
In Mt. Angel Saturday night
Thornton said he advocated
repeal or drastic change in
the timbe. tax "relief" laws.
Piadged To Veto
He also said he was pledged
to veto any bills attempting
to override the people's veto
on any question "while my
opponent has signed 3 stich
bills;" that he favored low
cost power for new jobs
and payrolls and opposed
some $6.4 million in yearly
rate increases granted priv
ate utilities; that he opposed
centralized state government
with the governor as the only
elected state official; that he
supported President Ken
nedy's program for medicare
under Social Security; that he
was campaigning in order to
serve the people as full-time
governor "and not as a step
ping stone to national political
office," and that he would
emphasize development of bet
ter markets for existing Ore
gon products along with
bringing in new industry.
