David Levy, president of the Washington-based National Council for Children's Rights, says that the laws will be most effective with fathers in regular jobs, who tend to make payments anyway.

Robert G. Stone Jr. '45, a New York financier and yachtsman, is the Corporation's fundraising whiz. Charles P.
