The Rev. John Branche. who took in 35 orphaned or abandoned children during his 13 years as a missionary in South Ameriea and adopted 14 of them, led the 10 children on Tuesday to the federal courthouse in Tacoma for the ceremony. Branche, who went to Peru in 1969. said by telephone interview his home near Puyallup, 30 miles south of Seattle, that having the children naturalized also fulfilled a promise he made to the first child he took in. now 21.

The current maximum penalty is life imprisonment and military law does not include an espionage section.
