Famed Photograph Collection Given Congress Library Washington (U.R) The Li brary of Congress has acquired an extensive and historic Photo graph collection from the studios of the late Levm C. Handy, famed 19th and early 20th cen tury photographer and nephew of the Civil War picture chronic ler, Mathew B. Brady. Negatives, prints and daguer reotypes by both Brady and Handy are represented in the collection, which was obtained from Mrs. Mary H. Evans and Mrs. Alice H. Cox, daughters 'of Handy. Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Cox are the present owners of the L. C. Handy studios here. The material, estimated at about 20,000 items, is now being catalogued and organized by the 'library to make it available for use. For the next 10 years, per- mission for reproduction must be obtained from Mrs. Evans ; and Mrs. Cox, but after Sept. 14, ; 1964, there will be no restriction on the use of the collection. . ' Over 3,000 negatives by Brady are included in the group, some made as early as the 1840's. : Brady's negatives and daguerreo types have long been famed for the picture they present of life i in the Civil War period. The latest dated works are plates made by Handy in 1932. Lincoln Photos Brady negatives in the group include those of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, members of Lincoln's cabinet, justices of the U. S. Su- ; preme Court, military leaders of the North and South and other celebrities of the day. The total number of negatives in the col- lection has been estimated at be ; tween 6,000 and 8,000. Brady's j daguerreotypes, include Edwin Booth, William Cullen Bryant, ; Stephen A. Douglas, Jenny Lind, Daniel Webster, Brigham Young I and one of Brady himself. ; Handy became Brady's appren j tice at the age of 12, about 1868. ; At 16 he was relieved of the onerous task of coating negatives , and was allowed to operate a I cemera in his uncle's studio. In I the famous gallery at 627 Penn- sylvania Ave., he photographed presidents, congressmen, jus- ; tices and other notables. When J Brady died in 1896, Handy moved the studio to its present location at 494 Maryland Ave. t Handy died in 1932. Of especial significance to the library is the procurement of a j group of portraits Brady made ; of members of Congress during ; and after the Civil War. As early f as 1871, the library sought to ; obtain the portraits, recommend J ing that Congress purchase 2,000 of the Brady pictures for $25, ; 000.

Not Much Wrong With Doctor Sam, Jurors Informed Cleveland (U.R) A court room tussle of wits between Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard, an osteo pathic brain surgeon, and; the doctor of medicine who examin ed him for injuries Dr. Shep pard says he got fighting his wife's killer ended today with the general practitioner holding fast to his diagnosis that there wasn't much wrong , with Dr. Sam. Dr. E. Richard . Hexter said that in a 45-minute examination he could find no significant spinal injury to Dr. Sheppard in mid-afternoon of last July 4. . Marilyn Sheppard, 31, was bludgeoned to death before dawn that day. Dr. Sheppard, 30. claims he was knocked out twice by the killer, once with a judo blow that severely injured his neck at the base of the skull. Sam Takes Notes On trial for his life in Com mon Pleas Court, the handsome young neutrological surgeon took quick notes as Dr. Hexter testi fied. Then, at the morning re cess,, he whispered suggestions for questions to chief defense counsel William J. Corrigan. . It was something of a battle between the osteopathic and M.D. schools of medicine. Osteo paths, in Ohio, may practice medicine and do surgery. Corrigan didn't need i much prepping in , medical cross-examination, however. In a long career as a criminal attorney he has amassed a store of anatomy, physiology and chemical analysis knowledge. Dr. Sheppard and his two brothers, all staff members of Bay View hospital' which was founded by their father, Dr. Richard A. Sheppard, had said Dr.- Sam suffered severe . spinal injury. Dr. Hexter said one of the brothers, Dr. Stephen A. Sheppard, 34, had told him Dr. Sam had "some bluish marks and swelling'' on the back of his neck and had a fractured vertebra. Questions Diagnosis Dr. Hexton said he removed a tight felt neck pad the osteo paths had put on the patient in his hospital ' bed. He saw no bluish marks o'n the neck, no swelling and "I just couldn't make a diagnosis of spinal cord injury." . - ' He said Dr. Sam had a black eye and some facial bruises and some . slight cuts inside ' his mouth. The. state accuses Dr. Shep pard of beating his wife to death, perhaps with a surgical instru ment, after quarreling with her about his boudoir attentions to other women. The -murder weapon never has been found.

International) Many Calls Keep Medford Firemen Busy Over Weekend A smoke investigation, a hearth foundation fire, two flue fires, an overturned car and an overheated stove kept city fire men busy Sunday. The smoke investigation was at 4:10 p.m. at the public library. A burned lout fluorescent light fixture was found. : " ' Firemen said that faulty con struction of a fireplace caused the wooden foundation of the hearth to ignite about 9 p.m. at the Roy Cobleigh residence, 440 North Front street. It was the second hearth fire of the week end. The other was on Saturday. , No damage was reported from a flue fire at the M. R. Archi bald home, 2451 Roberts rd. The call, the first of the day was at 10:55 a.m. The overheated stove was at the Mildred Tolle house, 1107 Niantic st.,' and fireman were summoned about 12:15 p.m. The car overturned about 7 p.m. at the corner of Biddle rd. and Airport rd. Gasoline was spilled in the mishap and fire men stood by until the car was righted by a wrecker. ' Second flue fire yesterday was at the A. C-x Lucas home, 317 Clark st, about 11:25 p.m. An other chimney blaze at 7:15 p.m. today at the Charles Craft resi dence, 52 Oak Grove rd., was out on arrival of firement. City Fire Marshall Truman Nelson inspected seven business occupancies Friday and issued five orders for correction of fire hazards.. r Prayer Practical, Christian Science Lecturer Declares A spiritual understanding of God heals sickness and sin, Hel en Appleton of Boston, Massa chusetts, told an audience here Sunday afternoon. - The way to gain freedom from fear, sin, sickness, sorrow and lack, is through the prayer of ab solute reliance on God's power, she maintained. On nationwide tour as a mem ber of The Christian Science Board of Lestureship, she spoke under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Med ford in Senior High School Aud itorium. She spoke on "Chris tian Science: A Religion of De monstrable Prayer."1 "So potent and so timeless are the spiritual truths which Jesus practiced and demonstrated that today they heal, bless, comfort, and inspire when they are relied upon in prayerful understand ing," Miss Appleton said. Prayer heals, she explained, when it is based on "a clear, spiritual understanding of God." Explaining the approach of Christian Science to prayer, she said: - "Christian Science enables us to change from the human con cept of a personal, variable God, whom we approach in fear and trembling, whom we must plead with to be God, to a God of love, whom we can know, reverence and trust as ever loving, ever available, ever mindful of His own." You should lean wholeheart edly and put your whole trust on God, she asserted. Such reliance, she added, is "true prayer, de monstrable prayer." "To this all knowing, all-powerful, infinite God, Christian Scientists turn in grateful prayer and on Him lean, confident and expectant of good," she said. Lower Bread, Milk Prices Possible Washington (U.R) A re view of 1954 research highlights reveals that government farm experiments may be able to bring down the price of bread and milk. Research teams proved that high quality milk can be produc ed with less than half the labor and investment used by most farmers. The scientists say that housewives may pay less for milk if dairy farmers use good sanitation and milk cooling methods and cheaper, more con venient housing for cows. 1 The cost of bread may be low ered by bringing down the cost of producing wheat, the nation's basic bread grain, the scientists said. They showed that the cost of producing a bushel of wheat can be brought down from an average of $1.65 cents a bushel to $1.28 by using new cultiva tion methods and more fertiliz er. The saving of 37 cents a bushel would be. nearly double the 19-cent reduction ordered in federal wheat support prices for prices for next year. Father Denies Guilt In Beating of Child McMinnviUe (U.R) Hor ace Crowley, 21, Dayton, plead ed innocent in 1 Circuit Court here Saturday to a charge of as sault with intent to kill in con nection with a beating administ ered his four-year-old stepson, Richard Lightle.

Craig of McMinnviUe, indicat ed he was thinking of filing a motion for a change of veriue because of the strong feeling against his client in YamhiU county.
