Mothers Agree To Trial Switch In Baby Mixup

LONDON (Reuters)-Two young mothers Sunday were reported to have bowed to scientific evidence that their babies got switched in hospital-but only for a 24-hour trial exchange.

Mrs. Vera Bowers. 22. and Mrs. Shelia Reed. 24, have maintained all along that maternal instinct is a surer guide than the blood tests which scientists say show con- clusively they have each other's six-week-old baby boys.

The mothers said they knew in- stinctively they had the right chil- dren-and arguments by their hus- bands couldn't change their minds at first.

Sunday. however. the mass-cir- culation Daily Mirror reported the two young women have traded babies for a one-day trial. They will make up their minds today whether or not the change will be permanent.

Even if the 24-hour trial shakes their maternal convictions enough for a permanent changeover. the two young women have still held out for one condition, The Mirror reported. It said they have drawn promises from their husbands that the two families will try to live in the same building so the mothers can aeozeach othar's sons when- ever they feel like it-because of an "element of doubt" they're cer- tain they'll never overcome.

The babies apparently got mixed up shortly after birth when nurses put them in the wrong cribs.

The feud between Tiio of Yugo- slavia and Moscow is rapidly turn- ing into a love feast. It could mean that some day United States for- eign policy might find itself in a Balkan trap.

The millions of dollars poured into Yugoslavia represented a U.S. gamble that Tito was out of the Moscow fold for good. Yet recent events show Tito is warming to- ward Moscow and the Cominform. which booted him out in l940.

If Tito went back. it would be on his own terms. with a tacit ad- mission from the Kremlin that the little Serbian dictator had been the winner. The terms would add up tn internal independence from

That would not be much of a price for the ”ncw look" Moscow regime to pay in a fierce tug-of- war with the West over that key- stone of Mediterranean military strategy.
