White has been told by school offi­ cials that he must receive his education at home. 3-day-old infant taken into protective custody United Press International URBAN A, 111. -- A 3-day-old baby boy in severe need of medical atten­ tion was taken into protective custo­ dy late Monday by state officials and City police, officials said. The baby was listed in fair condi­ tion Tuesday morning, a spokes­ woman at Carle Foundation Hospi­ tal said. No criminal charges have been filed against the baby's parents, but officials are seeking to retain tem­ porary custody of the baby beyond the 48 hours the Department of Chil­ dren and Family Services is al­ lowed under statute, a spokesman for the Champaign County state's attorney's office said. DCFS had received a report that the parents were "feeding (the baby) with an eyedropper and they had not had any kind of medical attention," Sgt, Everett Krueger said. , Krueger said police found the baby in a small basket on a table at the father's house, atyer first look­ ing for the baby at the mother's house. ' "It appeared to be needing some help. There was no doubt that it needed some medical help," Krue­ ger said. A DCFS official said the depart­ ment would not comment on the case until at least after court hear­ ing at which DCFS would seek cus­ tody beyond the Initial 48 hours. Couple sues IUD maker By Gary Taylor United Press International ESTES PARK, Colo.'-- The wine- colored carpet must hide the bloodstains. A careful look fails to detect the dark blotches that horror master Stephen King writes should be here. Even so, those in search of ghosts and gore are not satisfied with looks alone. Ten years ago, King haunted this 76-year-old hotel for a month as he researched what would become "The Shining." There is no doubt this is the room he wrote of. The huge, claw-footed tub is here. In the book, an old woman's corpse lies in the water and rises when people enter. The four-poster bed is here, and the writing desk and the walk-in closet are right out of King's pages as well. Standing in the bathroom, one can envision a maniacal Jack Torrance chopping a hole in the dootf sticking his head through and, with that crazed Jack Nicholson smile, say­ ing, "Here's Johnny!" ; Today, the Stanley stands as a gleaming three-story, 100-room Georgian structure that is faded somewhat from its days as a luxury summer resort for the rich. The darkest hours in the magnificent hotel's history followed publication of the book in 1976, but only those who believe in sorcery might con­ nect fiction with reality. Hotel owner Frank Normal! says there was genuine concern in 1976 when he first got wind of the book. The former Cleveland businessman says it occurred to him some people might shy away from the hotel be­ cause it was a model for the book. But he quickly learned the book gives the hotel recognition, although sometimes from thrill-seekers seek­ ing macabre laughs. "Room 217 is rented all the time," Normali says. "We thought about making every room 217." Normali fondly calls the so-called Stephen King room "No. 217" de­ spite there being no such number in the hotel. The room was 217 when King stayed there 10 years ago, but in a hotel reorganization it was re­ numbered 340. In "The Shining," the room is called No. 237. "It's 217 to me," says Normali, ever the businessman. It goes for $90 a night in season. From anywhere in the room a guest can hear the old elevator across the hall clanking to life as it brings someone up, just like in the book. Footsteps creak on the 1909 pine flooring in the hall. Some employees try to keep up the unseemly fiction that King start­ ed/Hotel sales manager Harry Gra­ ham used to work the night audit shift a couple of times a week. "If anyone doesn't believe there are ghosts here, let them work the night audit in February, when it's quiet," he said. "I would hear conversations all the time coming from an office that was locked. When I opened the door to see, the voices would stop. When United Press International BELLEVILLE, 111. - A couple is seeking damages of more than $11 million from A.H. Robins Co., which makes an intrauterine device, and a gynecologist on claims the woman w a s r e q u i r e d t o h a v e a hysterectomy. The suit filed Monday in St. Clair County Circuit Court contends the device was unsafe. Sherna and Ben Jennings of East St. Louis are seek­ ing damages from Robins, maker of the Dalkon Shield. The couple also is suing Dr. C.C. Garcia, the gyne­ cologist who was Sherna Jennings' physician. The suit contends the Dalkon Shield, which Sherna Jennings had used since 1973, was an unsafe de­ vice that allowed bacteria to reach the uterus of a user. Garcia said he had told the wom­ an in September 1974 that the Dal­ kon Shield had been publicly criti­ cized as unsafe. The doctor said he had advised her to have the device removed, but that she had insisted on keeping it. Sherna Jennings underwent the hysterectomy in 1984 after adhe­ sions were found over both her fallo­ pian tubes and ovaries. Robins is based in Richmond, Va. For Your Information -• .

It was human voices." He says he got so used to the voices he could not work without them. One "voice" heard by Graham might have been that of Stanley Hotel builder F.O. Stanley, the New­ ton, Mass., inventor of the Stanley Steamer car. He died at 91 in 1940 after spending most summers from 1905 to 1940 in Estes Park. "Things happen here that are eas­ ier to blame on F.O. than to explain logically. It's pretty spooky when you're in the hotel all alone in win­ ter," says concierge Bob Hellis. Before 1982 the hotel had no heat. It closed in winter* just like the fictional Overlook Hotel in King's book. Hellis, 69, says before 1982 he would watch over the hotel in winter and walk the halls with Kristie, his German shepherd. "Kristie would stop in her tracks and wag her tail. I always believed that was Mr. Stanley petting her," he says. F.O.'s wife, Flora, used to play a Steinway grand piano for guests. It still sits in the Music Rpom and, some say, when all is quiet Flora returns to play it. "The lights go on and loud music comes from the room," he says. "There is no one in the room, and it is not a player piano." Graham says one couple, which has returned to the hotel every year for many years, once had their bed shaken while they slept. They took it as a gesture of appreciation from F.O. for their long patronage. In the past two decades the hotel has become run down. Normali came to Colorado in 1973, sold a small brokerage company and be­ came a co-owner in a purchase of The Stanley. He had dreams of re­ turning it to its former status as the finest resort hotel in northern Colo­ rado, and in 1977 he got it listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
