S-8111 Charlie McCarthy Credited With Teaching Girl to Walk By VIRGINIA MscPHERSON Hollywood, March 21 U.R Little Kathee Howell, the 5-year-old polio victim Charlie McCarthy flew down to visit five months ago, is getting well because her Charlie dolls are teaching her how to "make my legs wiggle again." "Polio made Kathee's legs a little rubbery," her mother laid today. "But that iwelling be- tween the ears and that puffed' up chest that's strictly McCarthy. 'No wonder Kathee can walk . It's that pink cloud Edgar Bergen put her on!" see Mrs. Howell, who caught the dread disease five days after she rushed Kathee to a San Diego hospital, Is getting better, too. We re both home now, she said. "Kathee has to go back to the hospital for physical therapy three times a week. But we hope the day is not too far away when she will run and play like other little girls." Bergen and Charlie told her just that when they put on their act in the polio ward last No vember. Kathee was still in critical condition then. But see ign Charlie in person, Mrs. Howell, thinks is what helped save her life. Charlie was always her fa vorite person," she said. "But he was such a faraway idol. Now he's real really real. It was Charlie who taught Kathee how to make her legs go again. It s a sickening sensa tion to discover you can't remember how to wiggle even feet and legs that used to dance and walk so easily." When there were bitter tears of frustration, Mrs. Howell said, brown-eyed Kathe sobbed on Charlie's shoulder. She spent hours wiggling his wooden legs and then trying the same thing on her own. "The road back is long and up hill all the way," her mother said. "But that McCarthy is right in there shovin'. The big boys in the white coats have a fancy name for what Mr. Bergen has done. We just call it a miracle. He lightened the heart of a frightened, miserable little girl and gave her courage when she needed it most." i When news of "Kathee's plea for a McCarthy doll hit the pa pers, the Howell home soon was flooded with painted puppets their kids had outgrown. 'And you should see this house!" Mrs. Howell grinned. The Joint is jumping with Mc Carthy pins, pictures, records, and spoons." Explained by Dr. Osgood In the March issue of the archives of internal medicine, published by the American Medical asso ciation, the treatment includes small doses of X-ray or the in jection Into the blood stream of radioactive phosphorous at given intervals. Much larger doses administer ed on a different time schedule were used in previous treat ments, he said. About 50 percent of the 70 types of leukemia are chronic and can be treated, he said. Usu ally small children have the acute form, he added, for which the treatment fails. Profs Accused By Press Men Portland, March 21 W) Two newspapermen Monday accused some Oregon State college fac ulty members of lobbying for the dairy industry at the state legislature. The market editor of the Ore- gonian and an editorial writer for that newspaper made their accusations before a committee investigating milk cost studies prepared by the college. The studies are used by the state in setting minimum1 milk: prices. The newspaper earlier asserted the public had lost con fidence in the figures prepared by the college. The Investigating committee, appointed by the state board of higher education, heard John Denny, Oregonian market editor, say the studies might be accur ate, but there is reason for lus picion of bias on the part of the faculty men. He said P. M. Brandt, head of the dairy husbandry department at OSC, was one of those who lobbied for milk control. He named Oscar Hagg, OSC dairy marketing specialist, as another. Herbert Lundy, editorial writ er, told the committee the stud ies were open to question since college employes were lobbying in Salem. Dr. A. L. Strand, OSC presl- dent, said he had no record of Brandt going to Salem solely for the purpose of lobbying. OSC faculty members were ex pected to be called before the committee later. The committee includes David Robinson, Portland attorney; S. Eugene Allen, editor of the Ore gon Labor Press; Dr. Edward I. Clark, Multnomah college presi dent: Henry F. Cabell and Dr. R. E. Kleinsorge. members of the board of higher education. Luxembourg Deeds Yet Cemetery to U. 5.

March 21 (U.R) A housewife today was reported recovering from an ordeal of spending 72 hours in the frozen desert countryside west 01 nere. nnntors described the condition of Mrs. Kay rucKer, au, 01 firand Junction. Colo., as "Improved" but said it might be a week before they would know? whether it would be necessary to amputate her feet. Mrs. Tucker, the wite 01 a construction superintendent, was found by a searcher lying beside a little used desert road three days after her car had become stranded in a snowdrift. Sheriff Mike Maher estimated the woman had walked more than 30 miles trying to reach aid after abandoning the automobile. e e Mrs. Tucker was sufficiently recovered to tell a little of her harrowing experience. She said she got stuck in tne snowdrift on the lonely road, a shortcut route, Thursday night. Her husband was driving a nickuD truck and trailer ahead of her and she was following in the family car. The couple were en route from Grand Junction to Kemmerer where Tucker was to be employed on a construction nob. She took the shortcut route instead of the main highway and sometime Thursday night the car got stuck. eve She said she stayed with the car until Saturday morning, and then decided to get out and start looking for help. She walked for 15 hours and then, Mrs. Tucker said, "I just alenerl a treatv crediting to the IT s. the cround in which more than 5,000 American G.I.s are buried.

She said that was the last thing she knew until she woke up in a hospital here late Sun day. e e Meanwhile, her husband had alerted authorities Friday morn ing and a search had been or dered by sheriff's officers. But the searchers looked along the main highways, little thinking that Mrs. Tucker might have taken the shortcut route. Finally a lone motorist, Bill Davison of Kemmerer, found Mrs. Tucker on the road Sunday afternoon. Snow and sand had drifted partially over her body. Her legs were frozen, but physicians said that Mrs. Tuck er's condition had improved so much that they believed it pos sible no amputation would be necessary. One doctor said, however, that it would be at least a week be fore he could be certain of this.

Taylor ignored ques tioners. e e Police found Craven lying semi-conscious in a pool of blood amid the wreckage of the mortu ary office. He had been stabbed in the lung, abdomen and neaa. His clothing was ripped almost off. A deck of cards was scattered over the floor. Blood dripped from walls and stained the car pet. A knife with an eight-inch blade lay nearby. Taylor was sitting in a chair looking at Craven and crying hysterically. His hands and arms were bleeding from knife wounds. Taylor, a six-foot three-inch youth, and Craven attended John Herron art institute and worked part-time between class es at the fuenral home. Detectives said they were summonded by Taylor's mother, Mrs. Lawson Taylor, who told them her son telephoned her, crying he had been in a fight. They said Taylor sobbed all night at the jail and ignored cuestions of authorities who sought to learn what happened. V Paul Dorsey, owner of the mortuary, said the two were "the best of friends." He said he hired Taylor a year ago and found him faithful and compe tent. He gave Craven a job a month ago on Taylor s recom mendation, Dorsey added, to help Craven finance his art studies.
