Bergen op Zoom, Holland, May 23.
A Dutch Army sergeant, De Hartogh, father of "Jungle Girl" Bertha, now the subject of a
Singapore court action, said today that he would let his child's foster-mother, Aminah, come to Holland for a short time if there were no other way to get Bertha back without trouble.
He did not know Aminah personally but she was an acquaintance of his wife's mother, Mrs. Hun- ter-Winterberg.
,
He added that Aminah was never the child's nurse, and that he personally had never agreed to the child being taken by the Malayan woman.
But he could do nothing about it as both he and his wife were interned by the Japanese be- fore he could make other ar- rangements.
Aminah has appealed against the Singapore couri order that? Dertha, who has been with Jer for eight years in a Malayan vi- ge, be restored to her maturst parents.
