Baxter family plane.
Life Begins At 'One' For Chinese Tot
By RUTH KING
This is not a story of man's
distrust of man, of catastrophe,
political ambitions, nor space
conquering heroes nor of Hurri
cane Anna.
It is a story that spans the
seas, crosses the land and centers
in Klamath Falls, Ore., in the
United States of America, far
from where it was begun.
H is the story of a Chinese
child, Sue Lynn, who will some
day become an American citizen.
Sue Lynn was 1-year-old on
Sept. 10, a birthdate given by her
new 'American parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Dale Baxter of 5630 Cottage
Avenue, because the true date of
her birth was never recorded in
that country where girl babies
are unwanted.
Not long after her birth she was
abandoned in a railway station in
Taipei without identification.
Because she was undernourished
and ill she was sent by an orphan
age for hospital care, then re
turned to the orphanage where
she would have remained.
She lay most of the time on a
woven mat. Her diet was limited
and those in charge of many chil
dren had little spare time lo
spend with their small charges,
two months ago Sue "Lynn could
not sit up. Today, she not only
sits but sits up and propels her
self about her new home, using
both feet as rudders and tries to
stand alone.
She 'was "found" be Gene Bax
ter, son of the Dale Baxters who
was just completing a two and
one-half-year mission in the Far
East for the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. He
had been charged by his parents
to find a waif to be adopted into
the Baxter family.
There were plenty of orphans
to choose from," Cene said, "15
in the home where Sue Lynn was
cared for." He made frequent vis
its, played with them all and
chose the little girl who will be
come his adopted sister. Last
July he took her to the home
of friends and early in Septem
ber Mr. and Mrs. Baxter ar
rived by to claim her.
The Baxters flew to the Orient,
leaving Klamath Falls Sept. 4.
They stopped at Anchorage, went
to Jokyo, Okinawa, Taiwan, and
the Philippines, skirting a typhoon,
and on to Hong Kong after being
joined in Taipei by Gene and the
infant.
An orphan eligible for adoption,
must have no known parents or
have one parent unable to support
(lie child. Under present day re
quirements each child taken from
the country must be X-rayed by
physician and must have a cer
tificate of health before leaving.
More stringent restrictions have;
followed cases where ill children
have been brought to this coun
try and have not survived the long
trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Baxter filed a
petition of adoption by proxy
through Gene abroad where offi
cials asserted it would take "a
year, six months for the papers if!
It was hurried. They were com
pleted in two months. Sue Lynn
came into the United States on an
eligible orphan's non-quota visa.
Adoption proceedings will be start
ed here immediately.
Because the child was Chinese.
officials in the Philippines refused
her a visa. The Baxters by
passed the uncooperative Fili
pinos, received the legal papers
on Saturday in Hong Kong and
left for home the following Mon
day, Sept. 2.1.
The terrible poverty and need in
(he part of the world where Gene
Baxter spent two years as an
LDS missionary left a deep im
pression on the Klamath Falls1
people.
Jiven the mcagerest income
keeps much of the population
from death. Gene saw laboring
men eating green grass
men hooked to carts hauling 24
sacks of rice or cement, "proba
bly a ton." traveling in groups of
four to help each other propel
their loads after they left level
ground.
Riding a ta.xicab in Tokyo, the
Raxtcrs report, is a terrifying
experience. Can drivers charge
15 cents in American money for a
ride of a mile and a half. In a 20-
mile trip the Klamath Falls peo
ple met another car, possibly ev
ery half mile but the road teemed
with foot travelers and bicyclists
The cab wove in and out of

VATICAN CITY (b"PI - A
three-hour ceremony and an eag
erly-awaited speech by Pope Paul
VI Sunday open what promises to
be a fast-moving, decision-mak
ing second session of the Ecu
menical Council.
This two-month session of the
council, which probably will
not be its last, was highlighted
by a new pontiff and a new men
tality among the 2,500 members
of Roman Catholic Church hicr
archy who sit in Latin debate in
St. Peter's Basilica.
The cardinals, archbishops,
bishops and abbots have poured
into Home lor the last week.
With few exceptions, they have
been enthusiastic as prospects of
great and historic renewal
of the church.
The late Pope John XXIII, who
capped his pontificate by calling
the gathering into being, laid
down tlie road to follow.
Pope Paul, an austere intellec
tual with forward looking ideas
and the ability and knowledge to
carry them out, has pledged to
follow that road.
What lies before the council is
greater than what it has accom
plished. But possibly more im
portant is the change in mentality
that marks the second mission.
Before the first session that
lasted from Oct. 11 until Dec. 8
last year, many council fathers
felt the historic gathering, the
first such meeting in nearly 100
years and only the 21st in church
history, might become simply a
rubber-stamp body lor the wishes
of the pontiff. '
Others felt that the conserva
tive element of the church led by
the Roman Curia would control
the council. This would have
meant a minimum of change and
the late Pope's hopes of bringing
toe cnurch into line with modern
times would die in a welter of
words echoing in the vastness of
St. Peter's Basilica.
During the first session the
more liberal church fathers
battled this "remain-as-we-are'
attitude, first in some trepidation
and then with hope as it became
apparent that they were in the
majority and that Pope John
himself was wholeheartedly be
hind them.
There were 70 drafts on differ
ent subjects ranging from the
tonsure of priests to Christian
unity that had been prepared
during the three years work lead
ing to the opening of the coun
cil. Only five of these came up
for discussion during the first
session and work on only one
was anywhere near completion
by the time the council closed.
Since then, on the orders of
Pope John, the original 70 drafts
have been cut and combined to
form 17 "schemata," as they are
called.
During the nine months be
tween sessions Pope John died,
a loss fell by the world, and Gi
ovanni Battista Cardinal iMontini.
archbishop of Milan, was
chosen to succeed him as -Pope
Paul VI.
One of Jtonlini's first actions
was to pledge continuation of the
council and the ideas of Pope
John. Under canon law the fate
of a council in case a pontiff
dies during the proceedings is
entirely in the hands of his suc
cessor on the throne of Peter.
In the final few weeks before
the council opens Pope Paul has
made clear his position.
First he announced that non-
Christian observers were to be
invited to attend the second ses
sion. Pope John already had
asked non-Catholic Christian ob
servers to the first session and
many of them came.
His second action is rated by
many church liberals as a move
as important as the council itself.
Pope Paul, in an audience with
the Roman Curia on Sept. 21
told them that he was going to
modernize and internationalize
that mostly-Italian administrative
body. In addition, he said, he
planned to share his powers with
tlie archbishops and bishops
around the world, thus decentral
izing tlie church a good deal.
The pontiff's action put heart
into church liberals. It clearly
showed that Pope Paul was go
ing lo do everything possible to
move the Catholic Church forward
and into the 20th century.
Thus, the council reconvenes
with a new mentality, a feeling
that it is on the brink of what
may be one of its most import
ant renewals in centuries.
Most observers expected Pppe
Paul to keynote this feeling in
his opening speech to tlie council
Sunday.
With this impetus, there also
is the belief that the council now
will move ahead swiftly with the
work that lies before it. However
it is unlikely that all will be
finished in the second session. It
is expected that a third session
will be called, possibly next
spring.
The council fathers begin their
Latin language debates in the
special hall built in St. Peter's
Basilica Monday. The opening
draft is "De Ecclesia," lAbout
the Church). They will meet in
secret session five days a week,
with Saturday and Sunday off,
until Dec. 4.

Valachi Expected To Testify
On Experience As Assassin
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Joseph
Valachi, convict mobster, said
he helped commit murders for the
Cosa Nostra crime cartel. Sen
ate investigators said Saturday.
Valachi, who turned vengeful
informer on the syndicate when
he was marked for death by
"boss" Vito Genovese, is expect
ed to testify on his firsthand ex
perience in gangland assassina
tion Tuesday when he resumes
testimony before the Senate inves
ligations subcommittee.
The 61-ycar-old veteran of the
Cosa Nostra already is under a
life sentence for the killing of a
fellow prison inmate whom he
mistook as a Cosa Nostra executioner.
During his first open testimony
Friday, Valachi matter of factly
acknowledged that as a soldier
in tlie crime combine, he had car-'
ried out murder assignments.

VITO GENOVESE
Ruling Statesman of
The Underworld
By United Press International
They called him "the squire of
the highlands" and smiled at the
way he pampered his grandchil
dren. But his neighbors knew lit
tle else about the occupant of the
palatial home in the New Jersey
shore community of Atlantic Highlands.
From this plush home, its walls
adorned with a $200,000 art collec
tion, Vito Genovese controlled the
vast nationwide crime syndicate
known as Cosa Nostra, translated
5 "our thing" or "our family.'
And although he's serving a 15-
year term in Leavenworth, Kan.
federal prison on a narcotics con
viction, Genovese still rules the
crime cartel, according to turn
coat hoodlum Joseph Valachi, one
time member of Cosa Nostra.
Genovese, wiry and short of
stature, took over as kingpin in
1957, according to Valachi, when
he engineered the gangland assas
sination of Frank Scahsc, a pal of
Frank Costcllo and Lucky Luciano.
Costcllo got the message and
was removed irom ucnovese s
path to power.
Later that same year, a couple
of hoodlums strolled into Manhat
tan barber shop and shot under
world chieftain Albert Anastasia
Steaming towel.
That made tlie takeover com
plete, and Genovese returned to
stylish living in the mansion where
he was visited regularly by his
six grandchildren, who lived with
his daughter next door,
Associates said Genovese had a
tender heart that the Insides
of his glasses misted whenever
he heard of some tragedy. His
glasses "misted" they said when
an innocent blonde was lulled by
the gunman that killed "Little
Augie" Scalise in 1959. Scalise al
legedly was killed because he re
fused to take orders from the
new boss.
Genovese became an American
citizen in 1913 and ran errands
for gangland chiefs as a teen-ager.
He rose through the ranks until
1934 when he was forced to flee
the country to escape prose
cution for the murder of one
Ferdinand Boccia. He returned to
Italy.
Army intelligence witnesses told
a Senate crime committee in 1958
that he became friendly with the
fascists and "lived it up" with
Mussolini while U. S. soldiers
were dying in fox holes at Anzlo.
With the American occupation,
he got a job with the army as an
interpreter and on the side stole
truckloads of American supplies
for resale on the black market. He
was caught and jailed, then re
organization, the husky-voiced wit
ness replied: "I'd go out and kill
for 'em."
With the crime hearings in a
weekend recess Valachi returned
to the cloistered seclusion of the
District of Columbia jail where he
is being held by federal prison
authorities. ; -
In his testimony, he made :it
clear that hi motive in telling
nis story to the subcommittee and
the nation, was "vengeance"
against leaders of Cosa Nostra
who are said to have put a $100,
000 price on his head.
Valachi s testimony prompted
subcommittee member Karl E.
Mundt, R-S.D., to suggest that
prison authorities crack down on
Genovese. The Cosa Nostra over
lord, Valachi said, not only gave
him a "kiss of death" but also
ordered the murder of mobster .
Tony (Anthony Strollo) Bender
from an Atlanta prison cell.
Genovese has since been trans
ferred to the federal prison at
Leavenworth. Warden J. C. Tay
lor at Leavenworth reported that
Genovese is hospitalized with a
heart condition and high blood
pressure. "Indications are that he
will never be any better," Tay
lor added.
