(AP) Life looked brighter today for three or four children suffering from rare dis eases but for one of them, at least, the respite was only temporary. Beven-year-old Benny Hcndrlck, whose muscles are slowly turning to bone, was back bomo near Wilkes Barre, Pa., and neighbors said they saw him playing yesterday In the rain. Benny spent six weeks In a hos pital where doctors worked In vain to correct a glandular disturbance that Is producing an over-supply of calcium, bone making chemical, In his body. As he played by the side of his widowed mother's cottage he seemed to be enjoying himself, neigh bors said, despite limited movement due to his stiffening body tissues.

T., hospital had a fine day yester day. If she Aoped to get well, however, she was doomed to disappointment, according to physicians. The leth- argy results from the disease was akin to death Monday when a blood I transfusion was given. .Roma rallied, i delighted In new found strength. Yesterday she also felt well until late ofternoon. The blood transfusion was not given as a treatment, physicians said. It was given when hope had been abandoned and only to keep the child alive a little longer. She will tire a little earlier today, even ear lier tomorrow, the doctors said. And there will come the time when even blood transfusions will not rouse her. T,here was not much change In the condition of the other two little girls.

Doctors at a Memphis hospital where X-ray treatments were recent ly stopped, say she can not recover. Theodora Aloslo, at Christ hospital, jersey city, is in a serious" condi tion, and .has shown no change In the past few days. Her case Is far advanced. Her dolls lie unnoticed on the foot of her bed.
