Korean Diaper Special Lands Here
Eighty-seven children ranging in
age from one month to thirteen
years, from Seoul, Korea, and des
tined for their prospective parents
in the South Forty-eight, spent a
few hours on the Naval Station
when the airplane on which they
were traveling was forced to land
here Monday evening.
A diaper shortage seemed im
minent before the group would
reach their destination. The plane,
a Korean National Airlines DC-4,
was winging its way from Seoul to
Portland, Oregon, with 112 persons
aboard. Most of them were babies
and very young children. Enroute
--
to Anchorage, the plane had to
turn toward Kodiak when bad
weather prevented if from landing
ihere.
The children had been gathered
together from Seoul and the sur
rounding area by the Holt Adop
tion program.
Dr. Ralph Van Have, in technical
charge of the group, is connected
with the Holt Agency and is a mis
sionary doctor for the Christian
Reformed Church. He was accom
panied by his wife and their two
children. His main assistance came
from Miss Mimja Oho, Miss Ryung
ja Lee, and her sister, Miss Lypoon

Lee, who are students in American
Universities, working for the Holt
organization for the summer.
Three American women, Miss
Virginia Hill, Mrs. Maxine Flater
and Mrs. Betty English, also accom
panied the group. They earned
their way back to the United States
by paying $150 and agreeing to
escort ten children each.
The children, aH tagged with a
name plate on their tiny wrists,
were sandwiched in between the
seats of the airplane, lying in
boxes covered with blankets to
keep them warm. Dr. Van Have
stated that they started with 2,000
diapers but ran short when they
had to land at Misawa, Hokaido,
Japan. They were then riding in a
Constellation when engine failure
forced them to land there for a lay
over of 30 hours. When they landed
in Kodiak, they were down to 793
diapers, after having picked up
500 at Misawa. They had 600
bottles of formula when they left,
but landed here with only 400.
Lt. D. H. Cox, Command Duty
Officer, gave permission for the
plane to land. After it landed, a
Marine Guard, under the command
of Sgt. Garcia, Marine Chief of
Guard, was posted. They helped
make the passengers as comfort
able as possible while standing
their guard.
After a few hours layover, Dr.
Van Have thanked the Marines for
their assistance, and the plane re
sumed its journey towards Port
land, and a possible land of hap
piness for 87 orphaned children
from the Far East.
