Five Hundred Transfusions
And Louie's Getting Better
Br HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK, July 1 Little
Ixule, the kid who lives on borrowed
blood, hu had food year.
"I dont get ai tired as I used to."
he said, ai he rested on a hospital
bed after receiving hu) 600th trans
fusion. Louis was given his first trans
fusion at we
ase of men
monthi when
doctor discov
ered he had
Cooley's anemia.
Thia la a rare
childhood d l -ease
whose vic
tims are unable
to fully replen
ish their own
blood.
There ta no
eurt known.
They must live
on the blood ol
Hal Bol
others or die. And .usually they die
anyway. But in Louies wiry im
pound frame there Is a great gusto
for living, a stout heart that wont
give up.
He is In his Hth year now, and
there is a good chance he may yet
win his long and tedious gamble for
lite.
"If we can pull him through until
he's 20, he may Improve," said Dr.
Harvey GoUance. deputy medical
superintendent at the Kings county
hospital. -There are cases of that
kind In the medical records."
Louis Is a quick-witted, cheerful.
Intelligent boy. Somehow he has;
learned the odds are against him.
but he discounts the odds. He's sute
he 11 make It. And hundreds of New
Yorkers who never saw him have
helped keep the small, dark-haired
kid alive through blood donation
to the Brooklyn Red Cross.
Talk Of Future
He talked about his luture as he
lay there waiting for his dad to
come and take him home.
"When I grow up I'm going to be
a radio sports announcer," he con
fided shyly. "Everybody at school
says I got a good speaking voice and
I take part in all the plays."
Louie didn't do too well In his
English studies this year "They
threw adverbial phrases at us, and
I can't tell a dependent clause from
an independent clause very easy"
but that doesn't worry him. He
feels, with some Justification, that
grammar Isn't everything In sports
announcing.
He used to have to stay ta the
hospital several days, receiving a
pint of blood each day. Now he only
come each Thursday, gets a pint,
and goes home.
"I know a tot of the people here
now." said Louie, who has become
kind of mascot at the hospital.
"After all. I been coming here since
I was hist a kid."
"Yes. and you tell the doctors now
bow to give transfusions," smiled
Dr. Margaret Rice, a pediatrician.
"And some Thursdays you donl
come when you should."
Louis squirmed and looked busy.
He doesnt like to talk about the
times he plays hookey from the
transfusion needle.
The usual reason is he gets too
interested In a baseball game and
forget to go to the hospital.
"I play first base and the out
field." said Louis and added modest
ly, "Of course, I do a little pitching,
too."
He has never seen a major league
522 So. 6th
mmm
I baseball game, and one of his big
gest ambitions Is to watch his hero
Joe DiMaegio, knock a home run.
He prefers the New York Yankees
over the Dodgers treason in Brook
lyn. "I Jutt like the way the Yankees
play." he said. "I like their slyle
better. I saw them on television
once."
The 500 pints of blood borrowed
by Louis in his short lifetime Is
equivalent to the amount that flows
in the veins of 60 adults. Sometime
he'd like to be a donor himself.
"I'd like to help someone the same
way people help me." he said.
Robinson On
Stand To Hit
Robeson Tale
WASHINGTON, July 18 i,Pi
Jackie Robinson said today that If
Singer Paul Robeson "wants to
sound silly" In public, "that's his
business."
The Brooklyn Dodgers' slender
second baseman, first' Negro to
break Into the major leagues, told
the house un-American activities
committee that Negro Americans
would fight for this countrv "against
Russia or any other enemy."
He was the last witness called bv
the committee to refute a recent
statement Kv .
, ....... ,hw u c int.
I ous athlete himself, that Negroes in
! the United States would not fight In
. war against Russia.
I The committee's small hearing
! room was packed when Robinson
I and his attractive wile arrived, and
I a loud -amen" came from some
1 where in the crowd when he finished
i reading a long prepared statement.
ire nasroau siar said he never
has had time to become an expert
on anything "except base stealing or
something like that." but that he
appeared out of a sense of responsi
bility. He said there has been "a
terrific lot of misunderstanding
about communist Influence among
Negroes and it s bound to hurt my
people's cause unless it's cleared up."
Robinson said any Negro -worth
his salt" is going to resent "any kind
of slurs and discrimination" because
of his race. '
This ha got absolutely nothing
to do with what communists may or
may not be trying to do." he de
clared. "Negroes were stirred up long be
fore there was
and they'll stay stirred up long after
' disappeared unless
Jim Crow has disappeared by then
as well."

Cuts Down On
Vaccine Trips
IW HOWARD W. HI.KKSI K
Associated trea ticlenre Fdilur
MONTREAL Canada. July I ill
McOill university scientists have
given children three kinds of Im
munity mixed together In a single
hypodermic needle.
They are diphtheria, whooping
cough and tetanus. This combined
shot Is given twice. It replaces six
needle pricks and extra trips to the
doctor required by ordinary vac
cinations. The triple shut multiplied the
effectiveness of the diphtheria Im
munity by about 16 times. The
other two were not weakened. The
combination took no more of each
kind of vaccine. In fact a Utile leas.
These results offer a welcome re
lief from a long -hr Id belief that
each kind of Immunization must be
given separately.

Other combinations are typhoid
and diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid and
paratyphoid, and all four of these
at once. As In the Mi GUI experi
ment. It sometime happens thai
one Immunising subslanre enhances
the good effects of another.
In the offing are many other
kinds of Immunisation. Yellow fever
already ta established. My, cholera
and common cold vaccines are used
to some extent. Yearly some prog
ress unreported toward vaccine
for Infantile paralysis.
The comnmation of several of
these In one needle will savej time,
probably money and certainly discomfort.
