While a special force of 20 cops scurried about controlling traffic, 275 children of the New York Foundling Hospital paraded across Third Ave. as the hospital moved into its new $10,000,000 home. Infants were carried by nurses, nuns and volunteers. Toddlers clutching toys and dolls, were taken by hand . It all went off with military precision.
