Michael Chinsano was found in his tiny hometown of Torella Deli Lombardi, Italy, in 1952 with his feet bound in dirty rags.

Definitely curable. ferraro, though a fund rais ing drive, collected enough mon ey to send for the boy. He said Congressman James T. Patterson of Naugatuck arranged for a medical visa for Michael, who arrived here 16 months ago. Then began 10 months of sur gery and hospitalization, all free of charge. Last year, Micl ael was permitted to live with Ferraro where he learned to walk for the first time without the use of crutches. Ferraro sent pictures of the boy to his impoverished parents in Italy. Mother Faints "Mrs. Chiusano wrote to me," said Ferraro. 'She said when she saw the picture of her boy stand ing without crutches, she faint ed." Michael said he felt "wonder- At a farewell dinner eiven in the boy's honor, and attended by 2D0 persons, Michael, through the tears, could say only, "I thank you all. I thank Water bury. And I never will forget America." Ebnfen Sheriff Assisted by Youth Corvallis Wi Benton County Sheriff C. N. Lilly was back in his office today nursing an in ured leg sustained Tuesday when he was assaulted by an 18-year-old youth he had refused a gun permit. The youth, Calvin M. Hen dricks, Corvallis. later was com mitted to the state hospital in Salem by District Judge Richard Mengler. The assault occurred in the sheriffs office when the sheriff sought to put the youth out of his office after he became abusive. The youth kicked the sherif and struck at him with his fists. Bob Moore, 35, who was in a narby office, came to the assist ance of the sheriff and hqld Hen dricks until he could be hand cuffed. The sheriff, still under a doc tor'scare for a heart condition suffered following an assault on him by a prisoner last New Year's day, required medical care for his leg. He went home to rest before returning to his office.

But the judge wouldn't budge, to the plea to go free. Instead, he replied, 10 bucks is the fee. Michigan State University un dergraduate William Pilgrim asked leniency after he was tick eted for speding. The exchange of correspondence between Pil grim and Judge Peter J. Maru itsk follows.

This is Holand's last piece of real estate in the East Indies since losing Indonesia, and there is every indication that she will fight, if necessary, to keep it, and plans to develop it as a per manent possession. It is only in the past six years that the Dutch have given their half of New Guinea the full treatment; already they have ac complished considerable. So far, the 347,000 square miles of jungle, swamp and mountains have been a costly liability to the Dutch. Already the government has poured 50 million dollars into their half of this world's biggest island, and, Gov. Jan van Baal said this year's budget of 15 million dol lars would have to be increased in 1958. " Private enterprise has inves ted more than 100 million dol- Lumber Industry Due No Immediate Help on FHA Cut - Klamath Falls (in Oregon's depressed lumber industry will not be helped this year by the action of reduction on down pay ments on homes by the Federal Housing Administration, accord ing to A Hartung, president of the International Woodworkers of America. Hartung, addressing dele gates to the state AFL-CIO con vention here, said Tuesday he was gratified that down pay ments had been reduced by the FHA, but termed unfortunate the administration's decision to raise the interest rates on home loans from 5 to 5 per cent. Beneficial To Bankers He said the administration's high-interest policies were large ly beneficial to bankers. Hartung said he did not be lieve the new order would have much effect upon the lumber market until next year. The IWA leader also told dele gates that cost to employers of lumber production is down 63 cents per thousand from five years ago even though a total wage increase of 25 cents , an hour has been granted during that time. Suicide Ruled In Clerk's Death Homedale, Idaho (IP) A nine member Owyhee county coro ner's jury ruled Tuesday night that Homedale City Clerk Bertha Ehrhart, whose body was found in the Snake river July 29, had taken her own life. The suicide verdict came after the seven men and two women on the jury deliberated for more than four hours. The case had gone'to the jurors after Prosecutor Sylvan Jeppe sen delivered a 30-minute sum mation of the evidence and testi mony which came from the three days of the inquest. He' said the jury could con sider that Mrs. Ehrhart met death by accident, by criminal means, or by suicide. He added that the fact that her hands were tied behind her apparently ruled out accidental death. Mrs. Ehrhart had, disappeared from Homedale July 8, and her disappearance touched off an in tensive investigation which con tinued through the finding of her body three weeks later. The investigation and inquest brought out that city records in Mrs. Ehrhart's trust were miss ing and ashes of the missing rec ords were found in her incin erator. An audit of her books was started in late June.

Profits to both the govern-: ment and individuals has been j disappointingly small, but there are high hopes for the future. ! Three producing oil fields have been brought in by the Netherlands New Guinea Petrol eum Company, but last year's production amounted to only half a million tons. The com- ; pany has been granted a new ' concession with extended dnl- i ling rights in areas which its geologists believe to be most favorable. Sharp Contrast One of these is on the south coast near Merauke where the first well will be spudded in la ter this year. New drilling has been started in the "Lost World" delta . of Mamberamo River on the north, coast where unusually difficult operations are being encountered. After the lush living of Indo nesia, the Dutch hae finding N. N.G. pretty poor pasture, but they are making a mighty ef fort to convert their sow's ear into a silk purse. The capital, Hollandia, is a contrast of beautiful new homes and rusting quonset huts left over from the Allied occupation 13 years ago but still serving as government offices. Housing has been given top priority, with communication and transportation second on the list. KLM has two direct super Constellation services to Europe and onevto Australia operating from the war-famed island of Biak. Internal DC3 air services link the main towns while two shipping companies, KP.M. and Royal Interocean, run 1,300-ton vessels around the coastline and carry anything that occupies space or breathes. But roads are limited strictly to the urban areas and there are no newspapers for either the 15,000 Europeans or 16,000 As ians who populate the area. The frontiers of Netherlands New Guinea begin where the street lights end, for less than half of its population of 740,000 are under administration. In the downtown sections of Manok wari, Merauke and Sorong, Pa puans wander about wearing a burlesque-size breech cloth and carrying their bows and arrows. The Dutch View Head hunting is the national sport for most Papuans and can nibalism a way of life. The Aus tralians have done far more work in pacifying the head hunting cannibals in their half of New Guinea, but the Dutch are busy establishing new patrol posts, contacting the wild tribesmen, and attempting to bring civiliza tion in the the unexplored in terior. ; Two million dollars has just been spent in building a new drydock and ship repair yard at Manokwari, another quarter of a million has gone into a new lumber mill, .a geological team is coming out for a year's ex tensive research in to the min eral potential, a huge mecha nized rice growing project is un derway and throughout the country there is a business-like development and ambitious plans for the future. The threat of losing Dutch New Guinea is not being mini mized by the government; it is constantly in the minds and con versation of every Dutchman. The people here are afraid the Hague will again bow to American and United Nations pressure and turn the land over to Indonesia. The Dutch here consider themselves as the buf fer ' protecting the Australian American life line against the advancing threat of Asian Com munisni. They blame the Ameri cans and the British for forcing them out of Indonesia. "We are the last ally you can count on in Southeast Asia," claimed one high Dutch official. "By driving us out of Indonesia you brought the threat of Com munism to the back door of Aus tralia.
