'Sleeping Beauty' Mother Guilty Cleveland, Ohio -IUPII- Mrs. Lillian Fratantonio, 29, found guilty Tuesday of feeding her two daughters coma-inducing barbiturates, must undergo psychiatric examination. A Juvenile Coutt jury of six-women and six-men, after deliberating less than two hours, found her guilty of feeding drugs to Bernadelte, 3, and Venila, 6. The little girls were dubbed the "sleeping beauty" sisters after gaining national atten tion when doctors were un able to discover the cause of the intermittent comas from which they suffered. Examina tions were conducted at two hospitals here and at New York City's Columbia Medi cal Center without success. Finally in August, it was found the comas were induced by barbiturates. Action Taken In Drive To Stem Dollar Outflow Washington-IUPD-Nations re ceiving American foreign aid were under orders today not to spend the assistance funds in 19 economically strong countries, The State Department took the action Monday as the laslcst move in the drive to stem the outflow of U.S. gold and dollars. The directive requires coun tries to use their aid allot ments to purchase machinery and other capital goods either from underdeveloped coun tries or the United States. About $400 million in aid money is involved. Might Overhaul Habits But officials said the net effect of the order on this country's deficit in intcrna t i o n a 1 payments probably would be less than S200 mil lion because the nations in volved might overhaul their spending habits. The officials also said the order might raise the cost of U.S. aid by $100 million be- The Sacred Heart Story Structure Almost Unchanged cause many items now will have to be obtained in the United States where prices are higher than in the 19 don't buy countries. The new directive followed President Eisenhower's ear lier instructions to cut the number of servicemen's de pendents abroad and "buy American" for post exchanges and military stockpiles over seas. Countries Named The moves are designed to reverse the $4 billion annual international payments de-ficit-the flight of gold and dollars caused by excess U.S. spending abroad over U.S. sales abroad. The 19 countries where aid purchases may not be made are Australia, Austria, Bel gium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Ja pan Luxembourg, Monaco. Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Swed en, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. They were singled out, of ficials said, because they have relatively strong currencies and rising gold reserves RAILROAD MAN DIES Los Angeles IUP1I Funeral services will be held Thursday for Earle E.

(Continued from Page 1) The hospital is a five-story brick building, rising above the city on Knob hill. Except for minor additions, the struc ture of the institution is es sentially the same as it was when constructed in 1911. The hospital has a bed capa city of 75 patients. The tour started in the rec o r d s department on the ground floor. Here is kept a complete medical history of each patient ever to patronize the hospital. Records are kept for both in- and out-patients. The records are complete in every detail, and are private, being used only for the knowledge of the hospital and its staff. The next step on the tour was the hospital kitchen, where 17 employees prepare an average of 77,000 individ ual meals a year. These meals range from basic foods to an endless variety of specially prepared diets. The kitchen is under the chargeTSf Sister Rose, a dietician graduate of St. Louis university. Assists Regular Staff From the kitchen. Sister John led the reporter to a small x-ray room. In this room the Sacred Heart's Prov idence Guild assists the reg ular staff in providing the county with a public chest x- ray clinic. The charge for a chest x-ray is only $1.25, bare ly enough to cover costs. The next stop was the fifth floor patient x-ray room which houses one of the most modern kinds of x-ray units in existence. It was purchased last year for $15,000. Also on the fifth floor is the hospital's laboratory, con taining more than $20,000 worth of equipment. Two pa thologists work here, carry ing on the endless number and variety of chemical and other tests necessary for the successful treatment of the hospital's patients. Hospital Blood Bank Work is also done In the laboratory for doctors and clinics located elsewhere the city and valley. The hos pital's blood bank is located here. A scheduled visit to the operating room had to be postponed since an emergency operation was in progress. Next was a stop on the fourth floor. In one wing of this floor is located the liv ing quarters of the 11 Sisters who have charge of the hospital. The other wing, until re cently, contained a medical surgical ward. Sister John ex plained that closure of this ward was one of the changes considered necessary if the hospital was to continue to operate. Medical, Surgical Wards The hospital's medical and surgical wards have now been confined on the second and third floors, to make their operation more economical. Another recent change at the hospital has been closure of the maternity ward. This too, was a moved based on economics. After a visit to the hospital chapel, which is kept open 24 hours a day, the reporter was taken to "central supply a name given to the hospital's main storage room. Here is kept a three-months supply of almost every medi cal item used by the hospital. Each item is catalogued, ster ilized if need be, and ready for immediate use. As soon as one item is removed, another takes its place. In central supply are fully- equipped operating trays ready for any kind of emer gency operation; a half-dozen oxygen tents; respirators; car bon dioxide tanks; and assort ed bandages. Expensive Function ' Sister John pointed out that one of the hospital s most ex pensive functions is the main tenance of these storage rooms, and also the ground floor emergency room. The equipment tied up in these rooms represents a "consider able" hospital investment, she said, yet much of it is seldom used and consequently does not pay for itself. But, even though this equip ment is not making any mon cy for the hospital, and is, in fact, costing it money, it must nevertheless be maintained in order to insure the hospital of having adequate facilities and supplies to handle any major emergency that might occur in this area. If such a disaster as the 1959 Roscburg explosion were to occur here, much of this idle equipment would be sud denly put to use. Outside of the hospital, the reporter was taken to a num ber of outbuildings, housing such necessary facilities as the laundry, the heating plant and the maintenance and shop buildings. The laundry alone employes eight persons. Good Investment The huge furnaces which heat the hospital burn an average of 5,000 gallons of oil per month. But the fur naces are considered to be one of the best investments the hospital has ever made. They were installed when the hospital was built in 1911, and have provided adequate heat ever since. During the tour, Sister John pointed out that the hos pital contrary to a popular misconception is not a fire hazard. It was recently "sprin klered" throughout, she said, and the stale fire mafchal last year declared the institution safe "in every way." At the conclusion of the tour Sister John told the re porter that she hoped he now had a belter understanding of just what and who is in volved in the operation of a hospital. She said she thinks the only way for a person to know what really goes on in hospital is to see it first hand. She is right.

Maria CallasTo End Music Exile Milan, Italy - flJPlI - Fi?ty Maria Callas ends 30 months of Milan musical exile tonight when she makes her self-proclaimed comeback at the La Seala Opera House before the upper crust of Europe.
