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.

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.
The boy has been unconscious
since the beating Nov. 15. He
was being cared for at a Port
land hospital, where doctors say
he has had a number of small
hemorrhages of the brain. The
boy is expected to live, but the
permanency of the brain dam
age is not known.
Crowley waived grand jury
indictment on the assault charge
earlier. His attorney, James E.
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.
