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.

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.

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

She said that was the last
thing she knew until she woke
up in a hospital here late Sun
day.

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

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

blade lay nearby.
Taylor was sitting in a chair
looking at Craven and crying
hysterically. His hands and arms
were bleeding from knife
wounds.

Detectives said they were

They said Taylor sobbed all
