...district attorney threw the case into the reluctant lap of Denver's Juvenile Judge Stanley H. Johnson. Judge Johnson discreetly hired two impeccable Denver physicians to advise him. Last week Judge Johnson's medical advisers told him that the child, by now in the sixth month of pregnancy, was physically able to proceed with her involuntary motherhood.

Full of pride over the success of the Conference, and full of congratulations for "Missy" Meloney, to whom she gave all credit, Helen Rogers Reid lost no time getting back to the Herald Tribune Building a block from Times Square. Her office is in a corner of the sixth floor, one story above the city room. It is a man's room. Seated in a man's chair, at a man's desk, Mrs. Reid looks singularly small and frail.
