White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the administration was not informed of the meeting in advance of Mondale's announcement and added, "We haven't much idea what it's about." Asked during a television interview whether the Mondale-Gromyko meeting will be helpful, Richard Burt, assistant secretary of state for European affairs, replied, "I think it's fine.

I hope he softens up Mr. Gromyko." He did not express any reservations. Gromyko is to confer with Secretary of State George Shultz in New York on Sept. 26. Mondale insisted that he will not attempt in any way to outflank Reagan's talks with Gromyko.

Mondale and Gromyko will meet in New York. The next day, Gromyko will travel to Washington to confer at the White House with Reagan. Mondale, A6 Republic Wire Services Walter Mondale announced Sunday that he will meet with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko on Sept. 27 one day befor6 Gromyko is to meet with President Reagan. The Democratic presidential candidate said he will emphasize that the Soviets shouldn't delay negotiations in the hope of getting a better deal from him if he were elected.

"The Soviet Union has nothing to gain from delay," Mondale said in his weekly paid radio speech. "If I am elected president, I will drive a tough bargain, and I will not sign any agreement that fails to protect American security." Mondale, in a CBS News interview, said, "They won't be able to use me; I'm tough, and I know what I'm doing." Although the Democratic candidate's session with Gromyko plainly is intended to bolster his flagging campaign and diminish the significance of the White House meeting the following day, Mondale insisted he had not planned "to upstage anybody." i Mondale's announcement caught the president by surprise, according to White House aides. ffoya treasure Princess Diana, with Prince Charles at her Charles Albert David, as they leave Lon- the day-old baby to their London residence, side, cradles their newborn son, Henry don's St. Mary's Hospital.

They had little initial effect because most of targeted plants would have closed for the weekend even 'without the strikes. But on Sunday, the action already had closed one plant where there was no strike, putting about 5,000 hourly employees out of work. "Buick's not building cars and can't use the bodies, and we have nowhere to store them," said Fred Craig, spokesman for the Fisher-Guide division' body plant in Flint, the city hardest hit by the Strikes.

He senses in a small, hurtful way that he's different, his mother, Cathy Davis, said. When he's older and can understand, he'll learn that things didn't fare well with him before he was born.

Jaime, of course, doesn't understand, at least not yet, that other people don't see the little boy imprisoned behind the twisted face, the oddly shaped head, the cluttered teeth held in a misshapen jaw and the bulging eyes. They see only the outward him. Children whose lessons in manners and decorum are deficient run from him in mock terror. Others laugh hysterically and make jokes about space monsters when they see Jaime. Some mothers jerk their children's arms and 6ay, Don't stare." Jaime, fifth-born child of Del and Cathy Davis he's 38 and she's 33 is the victim of an unusual birth defect.

Doctors have tried to pin various names on his malady, but none seems to fit exactly. They named it Pfeiffer's syndrome, a malady so- rare that some medical dictionaries ignore it. "The doctors tell us it occurs about once every 1 million births," Jaime's mother said. "The doctors tell us there was a spontaneous mutation before he was born, and the sutures in his skull closed before he was born. His brain didn't have room to grow.

And the orbits in which his eyeballs sit also are too shallow." The result is a malformed head, eyes that bulge more than a frog's and a mouth so distorted that he is "speech delayed." Jaime's mother, a friendly, cheerful sort who seems happiest when her kitchen is full of children, hugged Jaime and rumpled his blond hair. He snuggled close and watched with interest as she leafed through his baby book to show the progress he has made. It hasn't been an easy four years. "We wanted Jaime's birth to be a family experience," she said. "His brother and sisters were born at Good Samaritan (Medical Center); but we decided that Jaime would be born in the birthing center at Phoenix Memorial Hospital and be delivered by his father." The decision to deliver Jaime in a birthing center might have been a stroke of fortune for him.

His mother developed a toxic condition shortly before delivery, and the children were not allowed to be in the delivery room. His father, however, was there. "Unless you've delivered your own baby, you can't imagine what it's like," Del Davis said. Davis said that when he held his newborn son in his hands and personally cut the umbilical cord, "The bonding was immediate and permanent. I was so proud of that kid that I didn't see anything wrong with him." The bond between father and son might not have been as tight had Jaime been born in another time when fathers held' Defect, A2 El Leisure B6 Movies E2.4 Obituaries E1 Scrabble Sports CI C7 C10 -B5 El D1 B1 C9 E3 Et Astrology Close-ups Comics Crossword Economy Editorials Hutton Jumble KeJIy Peter SchlueterRepublic Cathy and Del Davis are proud and supportive of progress made by their 4-year-old son, Jaime.
