The baby was discovered less than an hour before a sanitation truck pickup, officials said. "It is heartwarming," said Ken Kiernan, spokesman for Coney Island Hospital. "The people who call have all the good will in the world.

Camille Arena, a mother of five, found the infant as she put out the trash at her home in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn on Sunday morning, 45 minutes before a sanitation truck made its pickup. The baby, weighing just over 6 pounds, was wrapped in the comics section of a Sunday newspaper. "At first I thought it was a cat," said Mrs.

Arena, 36. "I kicked the pail and then I saw little feet sticking out." She took the baby inside, gave it a bath, food and a name Joseph Anthony and, after about two hours, called a television station for advice. Police, who said they learned of the find from reporters, took the baby to the hospital.
