THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1S66 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Grandmother's Fugitive Charge Dropped by Judge Denver (UPII A grand mother who has been "on the lam" in Denver for 11 years I will be allowed to stay here. I California authorities have j been looking for Mrs. Con itance Lebrun, 58, since 1949, when she broke parole and fled to Colorado. Mrs.' Lebrun finally gave herself up, but District Judge Don D. Bowman has dismissed the fugitive charge which would have forced her return to California. Attorney Comes To Aid The woman called Denver police May 24 to confess. They figured she was just a little drunk, jailed her for the night and then released her. But after checking her finger prints with the FBI, a routine procedure, they rearrested her and extradition proceedings were started. An attorney for a former employer came to her aid. The lawyer, Robert R o 1 1 m a n, wrote to California officials about Mrs. Lebrun's good rec ord in Denver and pleaded that she be kept under super vision in Colorado. California was agreeable to this, so Bowman released her from custody. "I found happiness in Den ver despite the shadow hang ing over me," Mrs. Lebrun said. "The people here have been grand." She was never arrested in Denver until she turned her self in after brooding over the illness of her aged parents in California. Served Prison Term Mrs. Lebrun, who has three children and nine grandchil dren, first was imprisoned in 1932 for aiding her husband in car thefts. She spent two years in prison and then was divorced. In 1940, she passed two bad checks for $60 to obtain' money for food, and was sent to prison for five years. She was released on parole in 1944, but was returned the next year for failing to make reports to her supervising of ficer. She was again paroled in 1948. "I'm out looking for a job," Mrs. Lebrun said. "When I'm free of this thing, someday, I hope to return to my children. All my life the only thing I've wanted was a. home." USSR Youngsters Said Lacking in Hospital Care Washington - (Science Serv ice) - Many critically ill Rus sian children must be treated at home in spite of major in creases in the number of hospital beds, John F. Kant ner of the Bureau of Census here reports. In a recent year, 44 per cent of the children who died from pneumonia in Russia's city areas died in their homes, Kantner writes in Population I Trends in Eastern Europe, the USSR and Mainland China, a study published in New York by the Milbank Memorial fund. The percentage of home treatment reached 73 per cent in one rural area of Russia in 1955, Kantner writes. "There is evidence of cer tain deficiencies in the regu I a r medical establishments and other institutions for child care which could con tribute to a high incidence of deaths from pneumonia, as well as from other diseases." Lists Inadequacies Kantner reports inadequa cies in the care of premature infants including "the use of hot water bags instead of in- i cubators." I Kantner reports that a sur- 1 vey of hospitals in Baku show ed that of 59 children who died from diphtheria in one i hospital, only six had gotten anti-diphtheria shots. The researchers also noted that Russian doctors assigned to out-of-the-way places some times do' not show up. Be cause of these AWOLs there were 30 hospitals that had no ! physicians at all In one re- , mote area. j Kantner says observations leave "little doubt" that the ! Soviet medical system is un evenly developed and that the conquest of disease is a brok- , en, uneven front. In contrast to the failures, "progress seems to have been made" in those areas where simple administrative actions or low cost preventive meas ures are effective.
