'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.
