Helen Keller
Deaf Greater
Blindness Throughout Life
Br ROBERT ZIMMERMANN
United Press Correspondent
Easton, Conn. tfJ.R) Helen
Keller, who will be 75 Monday,
has concluded after a lifetime
in silence and darkness that to
be deaf is a greater affliction
than to be blind.
She says she might have de
voted more time to working for
the deaf if she had her life to
live over again. . . . .
Miss Keller,, cheerful, curious,
and young in spirit though her
brown hair is graying, met re
porters for a pre-birthday inter
view in the living room of her
rambling colonial home 50 miles
from New York.
"Deafness in a way is harder
than blindness," she said. "Hear
ing is the soul of - knowledge
and information of a high order.
To be cut off from hearing is
to be isolated indeed."
Miss Keller, deaf and blind
since infancy, just returned
from a five-month, 40-000-mile
tour around the world under
auspices of the American Foun
dation for the Overseas Blind.
Through trips like this, and her
writing, she has made herself
an inspiration to blind people
and the deaf-blind in every
country of the world.
"When I was young the ques
tion of helping the blind came
up first," she recalled. "I want
ed to work, and. I cast my lot
with the blind. I imagine if I
had been given a choice I would
have taken up work for the deaf
first."
She said it happens that the
deaf can be employed more
easily than the blind. It . is nes
essary to point up the abilities
of the blind before they can
get a job.
Miss Keller plans only the
smallest of birthday parties.
Her household includes Polly
Thomson, a companion of many
years who serves as her eyes
and ears, and a German Shep
herd named "Et Tu" who came
to Miss Keller after flunking
out of seeing-eye school because
he was subject to car sickness.
For the interview Miss Thom
son transmitted questions to
Miss Keller by rapid finger
movements in the palm of her
hand. Miss Keller answered in
the slow unmodulated voice
she taught herself without ever
hearing human speech.
Though Miss Keller was born
June 27, 1880, at Tuscumbia,
Ala., she does not regard that
date as a real birthday.
"The true birthday of the soul
is when it comes to find the
courage, to break away from the
dark and silence and to make
a new life approaching nor
mality," she said.
This event, for her, was
March 3, 1887, when she was
seven and Anne Sullivan, a girl
of 20, came to her home as a
teacher, Miss Keller had lost
her sight and hearing as a baby.
Miss Sullivan stayed with her
until her death in 1936.
Miss Keller's biography of
Anne Sullivan will be published
in the fall. The book had to
be written twice. It wai com
pleted once before but the manu
script and all Miss Keller's
notes were lost when Jier home
was destroyed by fire in 1946.
The book has been rewritten,
the home rebuilt, and Miss Kel
ler is looking forward to many
more active years.
"Retirement?" she said. "I
dislike the word. I will con
tinue as long as I can whatever
work I am able to do. I shall
find every possible was to raise
money for the deaf and blind.
It is truly pitiful there is so
very much still needed before

Miss Keller thinks that if she
had not been blind and deaf she
might have become a doctor or
a nurse. "Those instincts are
strong in me," she said.
Has she ever felt sorry for
herself?
"Self-pity is our worst ene
my," she said. "If we yield to
it we cannot do, anything worth
while in the world. I have visited-
hospitals and1 I marvel at
the courage with which the crip
pled and paraplegic soldiers
rise above their difficulties and
enjoy normal society.
