PALM PRINTS HELD BEST FOR INFANTS Specialist Discounts Finger and Foot Records to Prevent Mix-ups. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, May 10.—Palm prints of new-born babies were described to- day by Dr. Gilbert P. Pond of Oak Park, 11, as the best positive method of identification to safeguard against mixed identity. His studies, he said, led him to discredit the value of toe, finger and foot prints of bables. In an extensive identification study he and associates made Dr. Pond told the Illinols Homeopathic Medical As- sociation they concluded that the footprint method now in general use in hospitals was valuable only psy- chologically for parents. He said ridges in the palm remain the same throughout life, making it possible to use the same prints for identification purposes at any time. ‘To test this method for accuracy a collection of 500 palm prints were made from new-born babies by Dr. Pond. These were labeled with the mother's name. Another set of 50 ‘were made at random from the same group of babies and were not labeled. Each of the 50 unknown prints was easily identified, he said, within 3 to 12 minutes, Probably the most famous case otl mixed babies in Chicago was the | Bamberger-Watson tangle. After the | youngsters had been taken from the Thospital identification tape on them | was found by the parents leading | them to believe the infants had been | awitched. Turmoil followed in which | blood tests and extensive studies | were made of babies and parents by physicians and scientists, and a court was called upon to make a decision. = . LENIENCY IS ASKED | AFTER JURY VERDICT Precedent Established in Police | Court Case Against Father of Attacked Girl. Acting without precedent, a Police Court jury recommended leniency after returning a guilty verdict Wed- nesday agaiast Lawrence L. Del Re, who was arrested some time ago for | carrying a concealed weapon during a criminal assault trial involving his 6-year-old daughter. Del Re, who lives at 1324 Kenyon #treet, was arrested after he was found to have a revolver in his pocket while sitting in the District Supreme Court room where Francis H. Harding was being tried on a charge of assaulting | Del Re’s daughter. According to Deputy United Stnt«s‘ Marshal George Killeen, Del Re al- legedly stated he had armed himself because Harding had threatened his life. Del Re’s conviction followed suc- cessful efforts of the Government to" keep from the jury the reason why | the defendant had appeared in court | with the gun. Court officials expressed belief lhe Jury must have learned the circum- | stances under which Del Re was armed before asking leniency for him. Judge Ralph Given, who presided in | the case, will pass sentence tomorrow. | Because of Del Re's arrest a mistrial | was declared in the Harding case. He will be tried later. ALFORD J.

Long got a stronger hold on Louisiana politics today with his latest “dictator” laws, enacted at a special session of the Legislature last month, becoming effective at noon. The measures, written into the statute books behind the protective guns of National Guardsmen en- forcing martial law, gave Long power, among other things, to: 1. Control the expenditure of any Federal work relief funds received in Louisiana. 2. Dictate the finances of all local governing agencies in the State, and, 3. Place his men exclusively at all the polls on election day to count the ballots.
