(AP) — A man who paid to have a woman artificially insemin- ated and carry his baby re- - jected the infant after it was born with a birth defect, and claims he could not ‘be the father. The surrogate mother says she doesn't want the baby either. - “We honestly, sincerly ‘feel we did our half of the com- mitment,” -aaid Ray’ Stiver, the surrogate mother's hus- band. “We feel we've been stabbed in the back.” The baby boy was born Jan. 10 in Lansing General Hospital suffering from: mi- crocephaly, meaning his head is smaller than normal. The deformity is an indicator of mental retardation. Judy Stiver, 26, of Lan- sing, the women who bore the baby, said Thursday that she and her husband, Ray, 41, “are not. bringing the baby home.” She had a $10,000 contract with a New York state couple to bear the child because “we jiedded” the ‘fioney. I have never formed any maternal bond to the baby.” The man who hired Stiver, Alexander Malahoff, return- ed to his Middle Village, N.Y., home Jan. 14. He didn't pay the Stivers and gave no indication he would take cus- tedy of the child. a No. injuries in grenade attack PARIS (AP) — Two men walked into the Turkish Air- lines office in downtown Paris on Saturday and lobbed grenades, causing damage but no casualties in an attack claimed by Armenian guerril- las. Police, aided by a passer- by, seized one of the men 2s they tried to flee but the other escaped. Shortly after the grenade attack, police found a pack- age on a counter near the Turkish Airlines desk at Orly Airport. They took it to-a truck outside the terminal where specialists defused a half-kilogram bomb made of plastic explosives and two detonators. Police said -it was “mira- culous” that none of the peo- ple in the ground-floor office was killed or seriously in- jured by the explosion. They said three employees were slightly shaken up. pr otests don't hurt sales There is no‘such thing as bad publicity, so an old adage says. First Choice Canadian officials might be among the claim's believers. The pay-TV network — = dubbed. Play TV by one Toronto — caused C; this week over its decision to air nanmiie from the Playboy Channe} and jointly produce $80 million more in new ventures with the U.S.-based men’s magazine. But the protests by everyone from politicians to feminists and powerful ibe. groups — many of whom labelled the Kingston, Ont! Sales have been wonderful, said Bob Burke, who added “the number of subscribers calling in is shown -until the end of the month, a company spokesman said. That claim was backed’ by Toronto-area Scarboro Cable Communications — one of the few cable companies willing to discuss pay-TV sales — which said First Choice subscriptions had picked up since the Playboy announce- ment Jan.'10. REGRETS COMMENTS The implication is understood by Francis Fox. The federal communications minister said Friday he regretted haven't hurt sales'of the national pay company. . .People are reacting to the controversy by signing up to see what all the. fuss is about, First Choice's cable affiliate director for southern Ontario told a meeting Thursday in his strong earlier in the .week opposing First * Choice's move because the comments had given the company free publicity. First Choice debuts Feb. 1, but the Playboy programs - to be carried late nights on weekends — probably will not be the debate over bringing adult programs into Canadian living rooms may only be heating up. Virtually ignored in the reports about Playboy are the plans by all the pay. networks to carry adult fare. In February, First: Choice’s competition, Superchannel and ,C-Channel, will both be showing the sexually explicit films Last Tango in Paris and Bad Timing: A Sensual Obsession. First Choice is also airing another adult series entitled Romance, which features a different love triangle each episode. Not all Protesters of the Playboy-First Choice deal object primarily because of the adult nature of the programs. The Canadian Conference of the Arts added its voice to those protesters Friday in a letter it sent to the Canadian Radi and T Com- mission. TOUGHER REGULATIONS The conference, which represents 700 arts groups, says it wants tougher Canadian-content regulations to apply to pay-TV productions. First Choice and others have been criticized for allowing specials with such American artists as Red Skelton or singer Dottie West to qualify as Canadian programs. On the issue of pornography, the conference says that while it opposes censorship, it also objects to “the exploit- ation and degradation of human beings .. .” Some feminists also say they are steering clear of the campaign against Playboy because they don't want to be associated with censorship.
