'Hew Blood' Baby Leaves Hospital Redwood City, Calif. 4J.R) Sixteen - day - old Denise Louise Robertson, whose entire blood supply was replaced twice in her first 24 hours of life, spent her first full day at home today.

Lamesa, in the heart of the West Texas dust bowl, was soak ed by three inches of rain. More ground-soakers were predicted for across the state. The rains were a welcome con tinuation of the downpours which hit bone-dry fields in Tex as, Oklahoma, Colorado and New Mexico last week. The earlier rains claimed at least 12 lives and turned creeks into flooding torrents. But most of the flood waters were reced ing today, although further flooding was feared on Oklaho ma's Cimarron river. The new rains were accompa nied by a rash of tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma. Twisters touched ground late last night and early today in Oklahoma near Balko and Gage, and at six Texas points. Damage was light, however. The Southwest's storms moved into the Southeast during the week end, touching off torna does at Macon, Ga., Saturday and at Rome, Ga.,' yesterday. The Macon twister whisked away the roof of an orphange as from 200 to 300 children cower ed on the floor. Farther north, however, mild veather sent the number of drownings zooming. At Jeffersonville, Ind., three boys and their uncle decided to go on a pleasure cruise on the Ohio river. Four Drown In Stream The backwash of a river tow boat overturned their craft and all four drowned. They were David Lowe, 16; his brother, Wesley, 10; a cousin, William H. Anderson, 14, and their uncle, Raymond Posey, 42. All were Jeffersonville residents. Tupelo, Miss., was drenched with almost four and one half inches of rain. Other downpours soaked Charlotte, N.C., with. 1.55 inches, Agust, Ga., with 1.33, and Chicago with 1.11. Elsewhere early today, the temperature dropped to a sub freezing 31 degrees at Mullen Pass, Ida., and readings were in the 40s from the Dakotas to Washington state. Showers and thunderstorms spattered an area from the east ern Great Lakes to the Appala chians and, on the Southern Pa cific Coast, the highest tides of the season forced three Long Beach, Calif., store owners to sandbag their store fronts. Back Stairs: Social Activity Dodged By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Staff Writer Washington U.R) Back stairs at the White House People in the business swear it's true. A social organization that recently entertained Presi dent Eisenhower offered the proceedings to the networks for "live" television pickup for $25, 000. No takers. It has been suggested to the White House that the code name for the upcoming Big Four meeting in Europe be "Opera tion Sunrise." This stems from the President's ad lib last week on his television appearance with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in which the Chief Executive said: "We are not going to extin guish the hope that a new dawn may be coming, even if it rises the sun rises very, very slowly. In a bookcase to the left of the President's office desk is a complete set of the Encyclopedia Britannica. But, if Mr. Eisen hower will look closely, he'll find that volumne number 24 is upside down. That's the index volume for the collection. Minor Accidents Listed by Police Two minor collisions were re ported in Jackson county over the weekend, according to state police. Three vehicles were involved Saturday afternoon in an acci dent opposite Kogap Lumber company on Highway 99 south of Medford. Police said sedans oper ated by Velma May Negles, 847 South Riverside ave., and Stuart P.

The second accident occurred early Saturday afternoon on Highway 99 at Jackson hot springs, and involved cars oper ated by Dale F. Culley, 16, of 517 Bessie st., Medford, and Ken neth Lee Zimmerlee, 16, Ash land. There were no injuries and damage to the two cars was list ed as minor. as normal in all respects" and did not have to remain hospi talized. Denise was born to Mrs. Rob ertson May 6. Within 45 minutes her entire blood supply was drained and replaced because it was a fatal mixture of her par ents' blood types. A second transfusion was per formed when Denise suffered a jaundice attack.

They've even hung a copy of his portrait of Bobby Jones in the locker room. Golf professionals have known for at least two years that the President's participation in their game lured thousands of new players to courses across the country. Now, the men who sell paints and canvases to ambitious ar tists have realized a similar boost in their business due to Mr. Eisenhower's interest' in painting. The National Art Materials Trade association has voted an award for Mr. Eisenhower as "the individual considered to have made the greatest contribu tion to the encouragement of art consciousness amongst Ameri cans" in 1954.

"I remember getting dizzy," he said. "Then things just faded. I blacked out. I don't know how I got to shore." His boat was found empty Wednesday night. That was the last his wife heard from him un til Saturday. Police Trace Call He said he remembers only that he "woke up" in El Paso, Tex., Friday. He said he met a priest there who urged him to pray, and then accompanied him to Houston. He telephoned his wife at noon Saturday, saying, "the doctors got through to me." His wife pre sumed he was in the care of phy sicians, but she was unable later to locate her husband at any hos pital. Houston police finally found him yesterday when he tele phoned an airline ticket office to confirm a seat reservation. The ticket clerk notified police, who traced the call. Police found Rochelle, un shaven and wearing old clothes. All but 57 cents of the $300 was gone. A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN United Prat Washington (U.R) Come Thursday and Frank Delaney will be 44 years old and he's right back where he start ed. Or at least six inches from where he start ed. That takes a mite of ex plaining. Frank was born in the place where he now works Harman Nichol an office build ing at George Washington Uni versity Medical School. "Looky there," Frank said when I called on him. "Right there near where my desk is now is where my mom, Mrs. James Delaney delivered me. She always said I would go far. And here I am today only a step from where I was born. That was May 25 44 years ago." W. NICHOLS ftnf Writer The building in which Frank toils as a medical school photo grapher he takes pictures of charts and bugs and the like was a hospital when Frank was born there. Then it was a cancer clinic, and now it's kind of a utility building, with Frank's photo lab right there where he began life. The part of the building where Frank works is 100 years old. Soldiers from the Union army were treated there. Frank said he didn't do so good in school. He got himself pitched out for bad conduct. His first assignment as a profession al photographer was to get a pic ture of Charles A. Lindbergh when the Lone Eagle came back from his history-making flight to Paris in 1927. "I was supposed to get the Lone Eagle smiling," he said. "Lindy didn't much care about smiling. But I yelled 'smile, Lin dy, smile it's my job." The Colonel smiled."
