Fight Looms Over Freed Flier's Son
RED BLUFF Calif a custody fight loomed today over a two year old son whom Airman Daniel Schmidt saw for the first time when he returned last week from a Red Chinese prison. Schmidt filed a divorce complaint here yesterday against his 21 year old wife Una who says she married logger Al ford Fine last September when she thought Schmidt was dead. Schmidt seeks custody of the boy Damny charging Una with being an unfit mother and extreme cruelty. Una's attorney said she won't consent to giving up her son. Una and Fine will continue living apart as they both deem it inappropriate to live together until this is settled. Schmidt met Una briefly in Nevada City and praised the child but said it was hard for a girl to raise a child alone. He filed the suit at Tehama County Court House en route to Portland where he will visit his brother. Schmidt is traveling with Una's mother Mrs Walter F. Ferguson. His attorney Howard P. Welch said he would serve Una with the complaint as soon as he finds her. She is hiding in the San Jose area with the boy who calls Fine daddy. Welch said the Air Force is withholding the $200 monthly allotment until clarified. The divorce would be the usual California interlocutory decree with a final decree after a year.
