to lose the other, my heart went
out to his parents," said Mrs.
May Alleston in Montreal.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Ault, the
parents, are awaiting the ver
dict of three doctors who exam
ined the boy last week.

about two months ago and an

recently that removal of the oth
er was the only means of saving
his life.

Sweden Awards
Nobel Prizes .
Stockholm, Dec. 12 W In the
presence of seven members of
royalty, three 1949 Nobel prize

awards for outstanding scientific
achievement.
From a flower-adorned po

house, Dr. Hideki Yukawa, Jap
anese member of the Columbia
university faculty; William
Francis Giauque, Canadian-born
member of the University of
California faculty; and Dr. Wal
ter Rudolf Hess of Switzerland
stepped down to receive their
prizes approximately $30,000
each from the hand of Crown
Prince Gustaf Adolf.
Dr. Antonio Egaz Moniz, 75,

Drs. Hess and Egas Moniz for
their development of the pre

tion intended to help some of
those who are mentally ill. No
prize in literature was awarded
this year.
More Blood
Donors Needed
With about 170 pints of Red
Cross collected blood being used
monthly in Marion county now,
it is essential that more persons
sign up as donors for the visita
tions of the bloodmobile from
the Portland regional blood cen
ter reports the Red Cross office.
December visitation of the
mobile unit will be tomorrow
(Tuesday) at the First Metho
dist church, 2 to 6 p.m.
Less than 100 persons so far
have signed up to donate for the
Tuesday visitation. The unit is
set up to accommodate a good
ly number of "drop ins," those
who may not have made ap
pointments, and it is hoped there
will be a large number of these
Tuesday.
Families who have benefitted
from Red Cross collected blood
also are being invited to ask
relatives or friends to make vol-,
unteer replacements, although
such act is not mandatory. The
Red Cross blood is given free
of charge to all in need of it
with no strings attached, but it
is very helpful when those who
have received such blood in time
of emergency seek to have it re
placed, the Red Cross office
states.

Fugitives May
Be Far South
State police believed today
that two Oregon criminal in

perhaps again in Los Angeles.
A car stolen from the hospital
two nights after the December 2
break by four patients - was
found near the Oregon-Califor

motorist near Oregon City and
fled southward in the car.
State police headquarters said
the car, which belonged to W.
J. Willard, an attendant at the
insane hospital, was found last
Wednesday south of Klamath
Falls. A spare tire and wheel
were missing and police began
a check along the route to Salem
on the possibility the accessory
had been swapped for gasoline.
Sgt. Vern Hill, Eugene, re
ported Saturday night he had
traced the tire and wheel to
Auber Carter of near Goshen.
Sgt. Hill quoted Carter as iden
tifying the men in the car as
Burr and Watson. He said they
stopped him about 3 a.m., De
cember 5, and made the swap.
