2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, July 31, 1962 Woman Plans Leaving Arizona For Abortion PHOENI, Ariz. (AP) -- Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Finkbine, determined to prevent the birth of a child they fear will be mal- formed, said today they will leave Arizona to seek an abor- tion. Mr. Finkbine, 30 - year - old mother of four, says that early in her pregnancy she took tran- quillizers containing thalidom- ge drug blamed for the of thousands of mal- formed children in Europe, Australia and Canada. Judge Yale McFate of state superior court Monday rejected a plea by the Finkbines and Good Samaritan Hospital of Phoenix to sanction an abortion. This morning, in a statement released by hospital adminis- trator Stephen Morris, Fink- bine said: "Despite medical and psychi- atric opinion in the case, the courts have refused to confirm that the recommended treat- ment could be within the frame-} work of the law. | "There have been repeated! published suggstions of prose- eution of this case and since) we and our physicians do not wish to undertake a solution that might be considered out- side the framework of the law we have concluded to seek help in a more favorable legal cli- mate... ." PREPARE TO LEAVE Finkbine couldn't be reached for further comment but Mor- ris said the couple had started making preparations to leave. He said, however, that he un- derstood the Finkbines had not decided on their destination. All 50 states prohibit abor- tions. Arizona's law allows ex- ceptions only if the life of the mother is endangered. The Finkbines' suit, in which | | Good Samaritan Hospital joined, contended an abortion was nec- essary to preserve Mrs. Fink- bine's health and save her life. Finkbine's reference to "sug- gestion of prosecution" appar- ently referred to a statement Sunday by Deputy County At- torney Felix Gordon that his of- fice could prosecute even if su- perior court should decide that the abortion fell within the law. Mrs. Finkbine's doctors feel that time to have the abortion safely is running out. She has been pregnant 24 months. ABSENT FROM HEARING Mrs. Finkbine, better known here as Miss Sherri, star of Romper Room, a_ children's television show, did not attend Monday's hearing. Her doctor Kil Hospital scheduled the surgery for las has ordered her to remain in seclusion. Mrs. Finkbine got: the thali- domide from her husband. He obtained the drug last summer while chaperoning a group of high school students through Europe. Two weeks ago, Mrs. Fink- bine read in a newspaper that thalidomide had been linked to the births of babies without arms or legs. She told her doc- tor, who referred the case to a secret panel of three medical specialists. They recommended abortion. Wednesday, but then Adminis- trator Morris ordered the abor- tion delayed until the hospital's legal position could be clarified. British Monarchy Symbol Of State'. ' By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor GENEVA, PARK, Ont. (CP) The British monarchy is " symbol for us of our existence as a state and as a world state," William D. Clark, direc- tor of the Overseas Develop- ment Institute, London, said Monday night at the summer conference of the Canadian In- stitute on Public Affairs. "It satisfies our desire to be ourselves. The question is whether it will give us enough confidence to go into Europe and be ourselves among coun- tries not quite like ourselves." Mr. Clark made his comment in the course of an outline of changes that have come over 5 Women Jailed Over Ind TRAIL, B.C.

The fifth was fined $50 or one month. Magistrate Parker Williams Three Men Jailed On Perjury Counts CHATHAM (CP)--Three men convicted of giving perjured evidence in a traffic case have received jail sentences. Peter Janiaux, 24, and his brother-in-law, Gerald Hooper, 19, were sentenced Monday to two. years at Ontario Reforma- tory while Daniel Druer, 19, received six months in jail. Janiaux was originally charged with a minor traffic offence and the others gave evidence. Druer told the court he had been given $20 to testify. ecency rejected a defence argument that the nudity might be re- garded by some as art, terming the stripping a grossly indecent and wilful act committed in the presence of 2,000 men, women and children. Mrs. Tina Jmaeff, Mrs. Polly Chernoff, Mrs. Nastia Barisoff and Mrs. Polly Datchkoff were fined $400. HELPED AUTHORITIES Mrs, Helen Kinakin was fined $50 after. the court noted she had co-operated with authorities since her arrest. Mrs. Chernoff testified that the women stripped because for- mer Freedomite spiritual leader John Lebedoff had told them to do so, "When Mr, Diefenbaker and Mr. (Justice Minister) Fulton both spoke of how there was no discrimination and how well they' managed the country, we knew we had to voice our- selves," said a statement made by the women and read into court.

It was his second main ad- dress at the conference and was delivered on 20 minutes' notice when he was asked to replace Etienne B. Hirsch, the French representative who was to have been the principal speaker. WIFE DIES IN CRASH | A half-hour before Mr. Hirsch was scheduled to speak, he re- ceived word that his wife and her mother had been killed in an automobile accident in France. He left immediately for Paris. Mr. Hirsch until recently was chairman of the European Atomic Energy Community and was to have spoken on the social and cultural pattern of the new Europe. Raymond Aron, director of studies, Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes declared: "The key factor is not Europe becoming part of America but of both becoming part of the same world. "In discussions of cultures it is dangerous to label the com- mon features of every industrial society as Americanization."' Rudolf Meimberg, chief eco- nomic adviser, Deutsche Bank, Frankfurt am Main, said the growing investment by average people in industry and in owner- ship of their own homes may mean that the old theory of classes will change. Even the more radical mem- bers of trade unions were be- coming convinced that owner- ship as individuals is in the best interest of workers.

The delegation was led by S. Bhagwantam, scientific adviser to the defence ministry, and also included senior air force officers and test pilots. The sources said that if the talks succeed, India might buy about 20 of the MiG 21 super- sonic fighters. The air force is anxious to set up a factory to make the latest Soviet MiG fighters. It may be built in India soon, the sources said. Such a factory is expected to take at least two to three years to go into production. MAY PRODUCE MiG-23 Since MiG-21 fighters could be obsolete by then, the pro- posed factory might be de- signed to produce the MiG-23-- the latest Soviet Supersonic fighter. The sources said the Indian India has investigated two Western fighters, the French Mirage, and the British Light- ning, but favored the Soviet MiGs because, although "sophisticated" than the West.. ern fighters, they met Indian re. quirements and were chea and more readily available against payment in Indian cur- rency. The Iridian Air Force now has three types of Soviet aircraft in addition to French and British makes--a high-altitude helicop. ter, the Antonov-12 heavy trans- Port aircraft, and the Ilyushin-14 medium transport.

AP Wirephoto Normal Baby Born After Drug Taken LONDON, Ont. (CP) -- Bili Morley and his wife, Gail, both in their mid-20s, were stunned cember of the affects of thali- domide. Their first child was due to be born in April. Mrs. Morley, a registered nurse, had been taking the drug for four months, Since the early stages of preg- nancy. Mr. Morley said his wife was near hysteria after another nurse told her the drug could cause deformities. He saw many stories about thalidomide, and they scared him, he said. Both spent sleepless nights. "Our first reaction was fear, and then contempt for those who distribute the drug," Mr. Mor- ley said. "We no longer look at it this way. "The drug was given by our doctor in good faith. He has two other patients who have taken the drug thalidomide and both have had healthy babies. "In the last few weeks before our baby was born, we began to accept the fact that if the baby was deformed, there was no one we could blame. "Gail refused anaesthetic dur- ing her labor pains. 'I wanted to count the fingers and toes . . « just to see if he was ok,' she said later.

At th same time, members manded government aid for the parents. Deformities in at least 40 babies born in Canada recently are blamed on the mothers' use in pregnancy of thalidomide, banned by the government last March 21. The drug was used to fight nausea. Health Minister -J. Waldo Monteith said at his Stratford, Ont., home that while the gov- ernment sympathizes with the parents it cannot accept finan- cial responsibility for the de- formed babies. HOPE TO SET EAMPLE Mr. Beeston said he and his 22-year-old wife Anne decided to tell about their baby in the hope that other parents would follow their example. "The average man wouldn't stand a chance going after the drug companies and the government himself," he said, suggesting that the par- ents might get action if they or- ganized, "The federal government ac- cepted the drug for the Cana- dian market when the United States turned it down. I think it is the government's duty to cover expenses above the nor- mal," he said. Mr. Beeston, a lithographer, says he cannot afford the cost of an estimated six operations required to lengthen his baby's arms and fit artificial legs. The baby, a daughter named Kim- berley, was born June 20 at Tor- onto's Northwestern General Hospital after the mother took doctor - prescribed thalidomide because she had trouble sleep- ing. URGES GOVERNMENT AID James Walker, newly elected Liberal member of Parliament for York Centre and a friend of the Beestons, has sent tele. grams to Mr, Monteith and Prime Minister Diefenbaker urging government help. "The parents of these babies face a lifetime of special care and responsibility in helping their children fit into 'a world of physically whole people," the telegram said.

The main scientific tool of their research, being carried out in Vermont and New Hampshire, is a dosimeter. This is a pen-like, electrically- charged instrument sensitive enough to calibrate the tiny doses of external radiation that bombard human beings as they go about their daily chores. Dosimeters are worn daily by selected housewives, mailmen, police officers, office clerks, laborers, merchants and farm- ers in 16 New Hampshire and Vermont areas. At the end of a week, Dr. Segall's assistants round up the dosimeters and rush them to a field laboratory where the MD Faces Trial In Baby's Death HULL, Que. (CP) -- Dr. J.
