scheme backed by young demo
crats and labor groups.

getting over a rough bar.
McElligot said at Seattle that
he would investigate at once.

Chief Boatswain F. E. Barnett,

Sunday and Monday to go out
at a moment's notice, and added
that he already had sent a full
report on the affair to Seattle.

T7 Dec. 25, Gets Presents
Tarentum, Pa., Dec. 12 Santa Claus ' brushed aside the
veil of time for a sick, little boy but not even the Christmas
Saint could bring the gift of life itself.
Doctors say five-year-old Jimmy Pochon has cancer of the
chest and may not live until Dec. 25.
That's why there was a gaily1
trimmed tree in Jimmy's home
yesterday with a pile of gifts, an
electric train and "Fluffy," the
dog Jimmy wanted most of all.
While Jimmy was unwrapping
the gifts piled high on his bed,
his parents Mr. and Mrs. :
George Pochon were clinging
to one hope that 1 heir son might
be saved.
At the University of Illinois,
scientists have used a machine
known as a betatron with some
success in treating cancer patients.
Because the betratron is still
in in the experimental stage,
the state of Illinois has limited
its use to Illinois residents who
can qualify on a charity basis.
Jimmy's family and friends
asked Pennsylvania's Governor
James H. Duff to obtain per
mission from Governor Adali
Stevenson of Illinois for the
youngster to receive treatment.
-Duff was unable to contact
Stevenson. The Associated Press
located him last night in Wash
ington. The Illinois governor
said he would be "delighted to
have any resources of our state
made available in this emergen
cy." There still remained the ques-

Gonzaga Hears
Blood Appeal
Spokane, Dec. 12 IIP) When
the Rev. Lee Teufcl, S.J., chap
lain at Gonzaga University, ap
peared in the student dining
hall to make an urgent appeal
for blood donors, he got an im
mediate response.
One student promptly fainted
but 36 others lined up as vol
unteers.
'So many students went down
to donate yesterday, the blood
bank called us and asked that
we hold up for awhile," Father
Teufel said. "About 25 were
typed and nine gave blood. The
others were placed "on call."
Dolores Brewer, 17, sister of
a Gonzaga student, needed whole

His father and mother tele

The pathologist who worked
with our doctor on Jimmy's
case was very careful in his ex

Then," Pochon said, "Dr. Ivy
said the case is too far advanced
that the betatron treatment
wouldn't be any good.
"We don't know what to do
now. I suppose there will be an
other doctors' consultation. But
I know what the doctors will
say there s no hope for Jim

Unaware of all this, Jimmy
played with his new toys and
marvelled at the Christmas tree.
But before he went to sleep last
night, hs said gravely to his
father:
"There is no Santa Claus.
You're my Santa Claus, Daddy."
