'Harlequin' Babies Baffling Newcastle-on-Tyne, England W) Brand new "harlequin" ba bies who suddenly change color with a sharp line down their middles dividing pale from pink arc baffling medical men. The tots regain normal pink ness all over after a short period and everything seems all right with them but hospital doctors still scratched their heads in be wilderment as they reported the phenomenon today in a medical journal, The Lancet. In the past year, 21 babies have undergone the strange change, all while lying on their 6idrs. "Enrh of us on separate occa sions saw a particular baby in Ihe nursery of this hospital un dergo a most bizarre and strik ing color change with which we wore previously unfamiliar," doctors at Princess Mary Mater nity hospital wrote In the arti cle. "At the age of thre days, he was lying naked on her right mde In an oxygen box whan the left half of her body became much paler than usual although the right tide remained the us ual pink," they wrote of ont en xr. "The dividing line between the two halves was as aharp and traight as If It were dTawn with a pencil and ruler, and It ran exactly In a line down the cen ter of the forehead, nose, chin and trunk. Tills surprising ap pearance passed off spontaneous ly after a few minutes." Kay resigns to become secretary of interior in Dwight D. Eisen hower's cabinet. Patterson was president of the Senate in the last Legislature and thus is first In line of suc cession. Next in line are the speaker of the House, secretary of state and state treasurer. Attorney General George Neu ner has ruled that terms of the Senate president and House speaker continue until their suc cessors are picked. Previous terms of most members of the Legislature ended the day after the election. Under Neuner's ruling Patter son would become governor if McKay resigns before a new Senate president is picked, something he is expected to do. However, some legislators have suggested a legal test of the ruling. If the State Supreme Court decided that Patterson's term, as well as that of the speaker of the House, expired the same time as other members of the legislature, next in line of succession would be Secre tary of State Earl T. Newbry State Sen. Eugene Marsh, who is scheduled to become the next Senate president, said he had no desire to become governor and that "... Patterson should be the next governor." Patterson said he would not sidestep the gubernatorial re sponsibility. "This is one of the responsibilities I accepted when I became president of the Sen ate. I will not shirk it. I only hope that I can govern in a man ner satisfactory to the people until they can speak for them selves two years from now." Hillsboro (U.R) Paul Patter son, heir-apparent to the gov ernorship of Oregon, has on numerous occasions taken over as governor of Oregon when Gov. Douglas McKay was ab sent. Patterson first went to the state Senate from Washington county in 1945 and has served four sessions. He was chosen president of the upper chamber in 1851. He was born in Kent, O.. in 1900 and the family came to Oregon in 1908. He attended Washington High school in Port land and the University of Ore gon, getting his law degree in 1926. He is married and has two sons and a daughter. Canyon Towns Change Phones Detroit The communities of Idanha and Detroit are keeping step with many larger cities in some phases of progress, the lat est being the conversion by the Detroit Telephone company of all lines to the dial system. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Johnson, owners of the telephone system serving the Detroit-Idanha area and Mongold, have worked to establish efficient telephone ser vice in the canyon since they purchased the small local co operative line in 1947. The system has grown from approximately 14 telephones to the present 150 dial instruments, with lines extending beyond Idanha to Mitchell's mill. Aerial cable for the new sys tem totaling 26,420 feet has been erected at a cost of $35,000. Johnson expects to complete the system within the next year. To house the dial and Pacific Tele phone and Telegraph equipment a small new building was con-1! structed on the main street of Detroit. j Maintenance of the dial sys- j tern should be considerably less' when it is completed, according to Johnson, and after the switch over to dial connection with Sa lem which is scheduled for Sat urday, Nov. 22, no operators will be required at the Detroit board. A small business office will be maintained in the Johnson resi dence. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson oper ated a telephone exchange in Dayton for 18 years before mov ing to Detroit. They have had 30 years experience in telephone work, beginning in Wichita, Kan., and later in several Ore gon communities. Britain workers. has over 23 million Cherry Cily Electric rjpSi 339.
