A statement agreed to by the chiefs of government will name no countries, but will be aimed at such nations as Algeria and Libya, which have harbored aircraft hijac kers, the sources said. West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, the conference host, told a news conference, “We will issue a special state ment concerning a new way to deal with terrorism.” Sources said the plan calls for tightening up procedures for the automatic extradition or trial of hijackers but gave no further de tails. Similar proposals have been made before, respectively by the British, the West Ger mans and the French in Common Market meetings. The Common Market countries also have stood together on anti-terrorist action in the United Nations. The Dutch, members of the Common Market but not participants at the economic summit, however, oppose extradi tion of persons to countries which have the death penalty. An ambitious French plan to deal with terrorism proposes a judicial zone in Europe which would insure any terrorist would be tried or extradited under the same laws no matter in which country he or she is arrested. European justice and police ministers are doing some practical work in the field of ter rorism. For example. West Germany makes its anti-terrorist expertise freely available to other countries — German police partici pated in the vain hunt for Aldo Moro’s kid nappers in Italy. The West Germans have a computer cen ter in Wiesbaden which keeps keeps the names of all known terrorists on file and makes such information available to other countries. Britain also has aided the Dutch in actions against Moluccan terrorists and also sent ex perts to Somalia to help combat hijackers. Black market baby given to authorities United Press International KANSAS GTTY — Police said Sunday a week-old girl whose par ents are accused of selling her for $1,000 has been returned from California and will be placed in the care of juvenile authorities. Charges of illegal transfer of the custody of a child were filed Satur day against the child’s parents, Janet Watts, 19, and Harvie King, 35. Police said a warrant has been is sued for the 79-year-old landlady of the mother who allegedly arranged the salt' of the baby Thursday to a Canoga Park, Calif, couple. A Los Angeles attorney repre senting the couple notified police Friday that the infant would be re turned, police said.

But when the doctor tried time to find a pulse he found pne. r he had been in a coma for 12 ie doctors told me: Pull the |ill the plug! said Saraceno’s widowed mother, Louise. Saraceno was in a coma for 3*A months. He contracted double pneumonia. “Three, four times they told us he had just a few hours left,” Mrs. Saraceno said. “But I didn’t believe it. And neither did Linda.” Because he has just completed an enlistment with the Marines, Saraceno’s 21-year-old body was in good condition. Miss Fraschalla spent every night at her fiance’s bedside, talking to him as if he heard. But Saracepo did not so much as flicker an eyelash. Some of his doctors tried to dis courage her visits, telling her to forget him. So did her friends. “But I loved him. I refused to be lieve them. I wanted to help him. I just knew he could make it,” she said. More than three months later, Saraceno opened his eyes. He began watching Linda. Finally, he moved a finger. Then his arms and legs. Then he learned to speak again. His rehabilitation was slow and painful, but Saraceno asked Linda’s father ifhe could marry his daughter. Fraschalla agreed, on the condition Saraceno could walk down the aisle at his wedding. On Sunday, Saraceno used a walker to meet his bride at the altar. “The doctors call me the miracle boy,” Saraceno said, “and I guess they’re right. I’m lucky to be alive, and I’m lucky to have Linda. “These last two years have taught me a lot about life. But my girlfriend. She taught me about love.” mother originally told police the in fant had been kidnapped. She later admitted to officers, however, that she and her boyfriend had arranged through the landlady in April to sell the unborn child, police said. The young woman later acknow- leged she brought the baby to the home of her landlady, who also lived in the building, signed a receipt for about $500 and returned to her own apartment, according to police. However, the landlady who re ceived about $500 for allegedly ar ranging the transaction, told police the infant had not been kidnapped, officers said. The landlady told police the sale had been arranged through her granddaughter who lived in Col orado, according to police. The landlady told police her grand daughter knew a California couple who wanted to adopt a baby, police said. The young mother brought the baby to her house, the landlady said, where the California couple was waiting to pick up the child, ac cording to police. The mother was paid for the child, and went home, the landlady told officers, according to police. Miss Watts and King were released after posting $500 bond each. Both are scheduled to receive a hearing July 26. Detective John Cleeton, a 22- year veteran of the police depart ment, said it was the first case of the alleged sale of a baby that he had observed. George Ely, chief war rant officer for the county, said au thorities spent much of Saturday morning searching for an appropri ate statute under which to file charges.
