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.

'Peace Assembly' Looks Like Fiasco
Br UNITED PRESS
The' "World Peace Assembly"
in Helsinki, Finland, the biggest
international Communist meet
ing since World War II was tak
ing on overtones of a fiasco to
day. 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.

Even so we met. and after long

Even so we joined, we both

Quarles.
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.
Passing By
Arthur Murray. Chain danc
ing school magnate. The danc
ing schools under the Murray
banner do a $15,000,000 a year
gross business! After Murray,
the schools of Fred Astaire, of
which there are about 100, do
the most business. Third are the
schools of Veloz and Yolanda.
Never in this country's history
have so many people been eager
not only to dance but to dance
well.
