Petition to bring sick baby from Russia for treatment
A Cincinnati based committee forwards petitions with over 1000 signatures to the Soviet government to obtain medical treatment for Jessica Katz a gravely ill eight month old. The group seeks presidential intervention as doctors in Cincinnati and Boston say similar therapies could help. The Soviet Union has refused emigration citing her mother's prior access to secret information. If allowed the family would cover medical costs through private donors and relatives in Cambridge Massachusetts.
