HERALD AND NBWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OMGON MONDAY, PKRKMWKR t DM PAGS TEN Mother Runs Home From Iron Lung VAN OY8, Calif. Wt Mrs. Mary ' Ann Huff la rearing her children and running her house' bold from an Iron lung. -She does It by telephone. The pretty 30-year-old polio vic tim baa been In the respirator for three years. She can move her head from side to side, Just a Utile. Otherwise, she'i totally para lyred. But she's cheerful and lull of hope, and she says her home runs as amooUUy as It did before she was stricken. The mouthpiece of Mrs. Huff's phone la much like that of a head set, and Is In a special mounting. It curves up along the left side of her face. On the other side is a switching gadget with a slim, sensitive lever. When she brushes this lever with her cheek she makes contact with a central oper ator, who takes her number. To disconnect, ah grasps the lever with her teeth. The slight pun 01 this biting motion Is sufficient to break the circuit. Her two aons, Hank, I, and John nie, i. look up numbers for her. A list of Important ones Is pasted on Uie back of her respirator mir ror. .These Include fire, police and other emergency numbers, so that she can safely be left alone lor reasons ble periods of time. "This has given me my first feeling of Independence In three years"' she said today. "I order the groceries by phone. I order the children's clothing by phone. If they aren't right, I send them back. I even tell the barber how I want him to cut Johnnie's hair." Her Christmas Shopping? It's all done. - Mrs. Huff spent two years In a hospital. When she came home it was to a new house. Her husband, Henry Huff. vie president of Slick Airways, planned It with her respirator in mind. Mrs. Hulf has a special room from which she can see by mirror into the living room and. through a picture win dow, to the tree-lined street be yond. The other direction her room looks out upon the garden. Doorways are wide enough to ac commodate the respirator; en. trances are equipped with ramps. "My ' chief determination is to live as normal a life as possible." savs Mrs. Huff. "That's why I felt I Just had to get out of the hospital. Hank and Johnnie had been with their grandmother, but I decided that since -they were my children I should be rearing them." "My goal Is a portable chest respirator." she conlided. ' men I can go to the beach with the boys." House Group Studies Campaign Costs Bv B. L. LIVINGSTON WASHINGTON (tf House in vestigators today summoned big wigs of both major political par ties for a first-hand account of what some call the "alarming costs" of campaigning In the mod ern television age. Rep. Clarence J. Brown, Ohio newspaper publisher and a veteran Republican political strategist, was slated to be the first witness be fore a special committee Investi gating campaign expenditures. In the coming week, the com mittee plans to hear from other experts who have "encountered the problems that arise In a video era campaign." said Chairman Hale Boggs (D-LaK Among them are Republican Na tional chairman Arthur Summer field, who has been named by President-elect Elsenhower as the next postmaster general; Demo cratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell; Alts'. Gen. James Mc. Oranery and James L. McDevitt, director of labor's League for political Education. "The recent campaign added Jet-stops to the whistle-stops, and expensive TV rhetoric to the fire side chats," Boggs said. Pennsylvania Cons Escape PITTSBURGH 11 Eight Co victs. described as "armed and dangerous," used razor - sharp knives to overpower four guards and a deputy warden at Western State Penitentiary yesterday. They escaped by sliding down a u-iow wall on a long rope made of sheets ana towels. A ninth convict also sot out but 30 minutes later he surrendered meekly In front of the prison gates. A loth was caught on the roof be fore he could flee. Police of all nearby states were alerted In the manhunt for the eight , convicts .who apparently executed a carefully planned escape for their successful flight. In the brief fracas before they went over the wan two prison guards were wounded slightly. Six of the escapees got away In an automobile thev stole from a steel company employe standing guard near coal pile. The other two just ran away. The prison guards Injured were John Peterman. 38, nicked in the back with a Kiuie, ana minim Engle. cut on the hand aa he tried to seize a knife from the hand of Police Capture Winnie Ruth PHOENIX. Arls. Ifl A ' Quiet woman of 4. still Intent on prov ing her - sanity after a score of vnrs, sat alone today in a care fully guarded room at the State Hospital for the Insane. - This Was the notorious Winnie Ruth Judd. the "Tiger Woman" of 131. who killed her two best girl friends, chopped .up their bodies and shipped them in a trunk to Los Angeles. After her sixth escapt from the antiquated hospital Mrs. Judd sur rendered, again Saturday night. Her new freedom had lasted 44 hours. Hospital authorities look Immedi ate steps to make the flight of the mad murderess ber last. ' ' : Guards were assigned 34 hours a day to her room, regarded as the "most secure" of the hospital building, and Dr. M. W. Conway, superintendent, directed that she leave the room only twice a day for. walks with attendants inside the walled hospital patio. When two Phoenix detectives found the wily Winnie Ruth hiding in a closet at the borne of her ap pointed guardian, sne begged for a new sanity nearmg. Cowering under a pile of clothes, he pleaded: "Why don't yon leave me alone? I want to get a Job and see some people. I'm tired of being locked up. - Conwav said neither he nor the hospital's medical staff would op pose sucn a nearmg before a court impaneled Jury. But, he said, each would testify mat m craity Mrs. Judd 1 still insane. Should she be declared aane, she would face recommittal to the state prison at Florence to begin serving a uie aentence. Chaves Win Now Official SANTA FE, N. M. (fl-Re-elec-tlon of Sen. Chavez (D-NM) over Republican Patrick J. Hurley has been made official by the Mew Mexico Canvassing Board. The board announced late Satur day that Chaves won the Nov. 4 election oy B,vn votes, a dozen fewer than the unofficial tabulation by The Associated press gave him. Hurley supporters, who refuse to concede, have 10 days to file re quests iur recounts in questionable precincts. . ALChieT Wants Action WASHINGTON Wl Lewis K. Oough, .American Legion national commander, recommends that the United Nations fix a deadline on the Korean truce talks, then launch an all-out offensive if terms are not accepted. Gough, Jn ' two radio-television Interviews yesterday, also advo cated putting Into effect the pro gram oi oen. Douglas MacArthur to bomb above the Yalu River in Red China, blockade the Asiatic mainland and Invade Southern China with Oen. Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese Nationalist troops. Virgil Toney, 42-year-old . robber from Ingram, Pa. The break came as the men marched back to the north cell block after breakfast. Toney and the others seised the four guards and Howard Brannan, 65-year-old assistant deputy warden, locking them In the cells. Piling boxes on a table, the con victs cut a hole through a corru gated Iron cellng with an electric cutter from the prison machine shop. Then they pulled themselves into the loft, pushed slates from the roof and climbed out. Nine of the 10 men to gain the roof slid down the sheet-towel rope, climbed over a 10-foot fence and escaped. wnue six rushed at the coal pile guard, the other three ran. Within- 30 minutes guards cap tured Clayton Terhune, 29, of Bloomingdale, N. J. He is serving a life term for beating a traveler to death with a stone in May. 1951, In a tourist camp at Somerset, Pa. Hugh Mattlcks. 36. of Pittsburgh, the 10th man to gain the roof, was trapped as guards surrounded the building. "The enactors of laws which were passed in 1925 and 1939, as were the ones under which we are presently operating, could not have foreseen these drastic changes In campaign techniques and the alarming costs of these techniques." The committee Is reviewing the adequacy of existing election laws covering limitations and handling or campaign expenditures wmi a view toward recommending pos sible changes to the new 83rd Con gress. Under the present law, three million dollars Is the legal limit a national political organisation may spend in a year, mat is ine amount sucb groups as the Repub lican and Democratic National Committees may spend. But there- is no limit on the number of campaign committees such as "Citizens for So-and-so" and -the like, and these may fi nance television appearances or other campaign activities. The money these committees SDend does not count against the national committee's three-million limit. There are separate rules for spending in senatorial and con gressional campaigns. in announcing the hearings, Boggs said estimates of spending I in the recent political campaign ran between 50 and 100 million dollars, and the number of spe- cail committees into the thousands.
