Wed., July 27, 1949 The News-Review, Rosaburg, Or. Impaled Racer i Still Battling For Survival YAKIMA, Wash.. July 26 Alien Hobson, 24-year-old auto racer who wag Impaled by a 2x6 inch board In a 70-mile-an-hour crash Sunday, was reported In 'good .though critical" condition at a hospital early today. The 10-foot long board knifed through the left side of his body, breaking four ribs and tearing out the top of his left lung. The Cornelius. Ore., driver sat pain fully in the car almost an hour before the board holding him could be sawed through. An ordinary saw. used at first to cut through the board, had to be discarded as the teeth of the saw set up painful vibrations. Workers finally used nearly a dozen mechanic's hacksaws In cutting through the board. He was taken-to the hospital with 14 inches of the board still In him. Three and a half hours later doctors removed the rest of the board from his body. Ills wife stood by him at the track while workers fought to free him. "When it hurt he'd let us know. But he wasn't screaming or yell ing or anything like that. He was Eretty darned good about It," am ulance driver Robert Greenlee reported. Truman Program In Present Form Appears Doomed WASHINGTON. July 27 t.Vt Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich) said Tuesday he has told the State Department "the facts of life" that it can't get approval by Congress of President Tru man's $1,450,000,000 foreign arms program in present form. The Michigan senator, chief congressional exponent of the bi partisan foreign policy, has call ed for a stopgap military supply program until the projected North Atlantic council can set up a defense committee to draft an overall defense plan. Vandenberg said, however, that he will withhold a decision on the amount of arms to be supplied until State Department officials have given details of the $1,450,000,000 proposal to congres sional committees. "I don't think It's my place to come forward with a (substitute) bill now," Vandenberg said. However, he has consulted with Senator Dulles (R-NY) about alternative proposals. And Dulles has talked to Rep. Vorys (Onlo) of the House Foreign Af fairs Committee about cutting the proposed outlay by more than one half. Doctor Removes His Own Appendix TELLURIDE, Colo.. July 26 (l Dr. George C. Balde'rston was back at work today, two days after removing his own appen dix. Sunday afternoon at the Ameri can Legion hospital Dr. Balder ston got all the proper tools to gether and summoned a friend, Dr. Richard Gladman. He told Gladman to stand by in case anything went wrong. Then, without using mirrors, Dr. Balderston slit himself open and went to work. In a sitting position he handled the entire op eration himself and after about 45 minutes he closed the wound with clamps and stitches. The idea? "I wanted to get a first hand reaction of a patient to local anesthesia and I wanted to study post-operative effects." Today he said he figured he'd proved patients should "get back on their feet as soon as possible after surgery." He said he felt fine. 11.95.
