Judge Scorches Lindstrom, Bergman In Decision on Custody of Pia LOS ANGELES (P)—Actress Ingrid Bergman has lost her plea for summer custody of her daughter, Pia, 13, and the child leaves in a few days for Aspenwall, Pa., where her father is a surgeon at a Veterans Administration hospital. Superior Judge Mildred L. Lillie yesterday upheld the contention of the father, Dr. Peter Lindstrom, that a visit with Miss Bergman in Italy would not be in Pia's best interest. Judge Lillie's 11-page opinion said the parents seemed less interested in Pia's welfare than in what "each is entitled to under the law." "A child is not a piece of proper French Divorcee Reveals Redfield Theft 'Bargain' CARSON CITY, NEV. (P)—In a fantastic climax to the strange Redfield burglary, a volatile French divorcee testified millionaire La Vere Redfield consented to the theft of his $1,500,000 in order to win her favors. The claim was shouted at a federal court jury yesterday by tiny Jeanne D'Arc Michaud, 36. She resumes her defense today against charges she took $147,000 of the loot across state lines. The hot-tempered woman ignored the remonstrations of her THE COURT also deplored the worldwide publicity attendant to the actress' separation from Lindstrom in 1949, her romance with Italian director Roberto Rossellini and the subsequent birth out of wedlock of a son by him. Lindstrom testified during trial of his ex-wife's custody petition that he did not want to expose Pia to Rossellini, now Miss Bergman's husband. He charged Rossellini with a reputation as a libertine and narcotics user. Judge Lillie's opinion nowhere mentioned Rossellini by name but said a factor in the decision was "the child's unfavorable opinion of the defendant's husband." The jurist urged the parents to "put aside your pride and selfishness" so that Miss Bergman may be restored to Pia's affections and Lindstrom will lose his "attitude of prejudice and vindictiveness." Pia testified during the trial that she liked; but didn't love, her mother. Judge Lillie said "the court knows of no reason for". Miss Bergman's failure to answer French divorce testified millionaire La Vere Redfield consented to the theft of his $1,500,000 in order to win her favors. The claim was shouted at a federal court jury yesterday by tiny Jeanne D'Arc Michaud, 36. She resumes her defense today against charges she took $147,000 of the loot across state lines. The hot-tempered woman ignored the remonstrations of her own attorney, the prosecutors and the judge as she portrayed herself to the jury of eight men and four women as the 54-year-old financier's "sweetheart." She said she proposed to Redfield that she could arrange to have his safe stolen as a means of making her financially independent. He consented, declared Mrs. Michaud, after she had napped in his bed at the big Redfield home in Reno Dec. 28. Mrs. Redfield was out of town at the time. "I woke up in the dark * * and he came very close and tried to kiss me," testified the dark-haired divorcee. "I told him I'll never be yours anymore unless it's a deal." "And he said, 'shall we seal it?'" "That was consent," yelled Mrs. Michaud to the packed courtroom, from which minors were barred. "There are other ways of sealing a deal than with pencil and paper." Redfield sat expressionless in a back row. He later told reporters he had no comment. Mrs. Michaud said Redfield asked her to stay overnight, "but I refused because I thought it unethical, indecent and immoral to make love in her home." The divorcee nodded toward Mrs. Redfield, who glared, grim-faced, from a front row seat. The Canadian-born Frenchwoman added "although I was very much in love with him," she refused a $3,000 offer to live with him. But then she said they registered as man and wife at a Los Angeles hotel. Four Children Fall from Window; 2-Year-Old Dies NEW YORK (UP)—Mrs. Theresa Cadiz went downstairs to a store yesterday, leaving her three infants in the care of their 14-year-old cousin. Moments later, two of the children plunged to the ground from the fifth-floor tenement apartment. Seconds afterwards, the third child and the cousin hurtled to the ground. "Please help me," gasped the cousin, Rose Cadiz. "They fell out the window." All four were taken to a hospital, but two-year-old Socorro Cadiz was dead. Her sister, Ramonita, 3, and brother, Francisco, Jr., 1, and the cousin were in critical condition. Police said two of the infants, apparently playing on a bed near the window, rolled out. The third leaned over the sill to look and fell with the cousin, who had slipped as she rushed to the window.
