Father Blocked by Laws in Attempt To Give Eyes of Dead Daughter to Blind Chicago (U.R) A father said today that the law blocked him when he tried to give the eyes of his newly-dgad daughter to the blind "so that someone else might see." Andrew Costikyan was close to tears as he told how he tried to have the eyes of his 2-year-old daughter removed a few hours after she was killed in a car crash Thursday. He said a coroner's physician refused to allow the operation, telling him he would "regret" it later. Blocked Operation The physician's objections blocked the operation for more than 12 hours, Costikyan said. After that, the eyes were of no value to an eye bank. Costikyan, whose wife and 5-year-old son were also severely injured in Thursday's crash, in sisted that he knew what he was doing when he asked to have the eyes of little Carol removed. "I'm a photographer," he said, "and I've always regarded the eyes with awe. My wife and I often discussed this and decided that if anything should happen to anyone in the family, the eyes should be removed so they could be used again." Consequently, Costikyan asked that Carol's eyes be removed when she was brought to the suburban Evanston hospital. He planned to donate them to the University of Illinois Research hospital, where they might be used to restore sight to a blind person. Said Inquest Needed But coroner's physician, T. A. Carter, wouldn't permit it, Cos tikyan said. Carter maintained that Carol's body was under jurisdiction of the coroner's of fice until an inquest had been conducted, according to Costik yan. A hospital pediatrician, Dr. Robbins Kimball, backed up Costikyan's story. He said Car ter refused permission for the operation three times. Meanwhile, other Cook coun ty authorities said Costikyan was in high rights in demanding the eye-removal operation.

Its opening date had to be postponed because the Commun ists found it coincided with a U.S. atoms-for-peace exhibit which would not have jibed with their assertions that only the Soviet Union was interested in the peaceful uses of atoms. And it no sooner had started than anti-Communist Finns plas tered Helsinki with . posters showing the Communist "peace dove" dropping bombs on de fenseless cities. v An Indian team of "peace fighters" who tried to address Finnish workers at a suburban house construction project were thrown out by a foreman. &rcen(Sfsp Enjoy An Appetizing Treat. .

In New York City bricklayers are paid $3.83 per hour, or $26.60 a day. That is more than is paid plumbers, carpenters or electricians. Why? Does it take more training, skill and intelli gence to be a bricklayer than to be a plumber, carpenter or elec trician? Horn Managers How efficient is your wife .as a - home manager? How about your daughter-in-law? Do you think they are doing their house keeping the hard way? That is, making simple tasks difficult. Taking too many steps, and so on? In any event, a book they might find very interesting is that titled "Management in the Home." It is written by three celebrated ; housekeeping effi ciency experts Dr. Lillian Gil breth, Orpha Thomas and Elea nor Clymer. Millionaires There are 148 millionaires in the United States. So says a sta tistician. He doesn't say how many of these millionaires are unmarried. Or where those who might be interested in acquiring a loving wife are located. An un forgivable omission. I haVe asked our Horses & Women ex perts to spare no effort to ascertain how many unmarried millionaires there are in this country, and where. Horses and Women What is the best way to figure out the age of a woman? Some say a woman's hands reveal her age the most. Others say the best way to tell how old a female is, is by noting the appearance of her knees. Then there are. those who claim the condition of a woman's elbows must surely re veal her age. Am not much in terested in this matter myself. I never try to figure out a wom an's age. No gentleman should. Weight ' . , . ; Which weighs the most, a pair of man's suspenders or a wom an's nightgown? That query is not as silly as it sounds. Air trav elers are now being advised as to the weight of various , articles of apparel they might take on a trip. This is to avoid an excess baggage charge. A pamphlet has been issued listing aforemen tioned weights. Incidentally, a pair of suspenders weighs" three ounces, a woman's nightgown, five and one half ounces. Banishing Fear As to that drug which is said to relieve anxiety and banish fear of those who are about to undergo an operation or have an appointment with a dentist. It is a British product The name is chlorpromazine. The drug is also alleged to be effective in reliev ing hiccups. It has been reported it was used to relieve Pope Pius of hiccups.
