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."

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

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

In the coming week, the com

experts who have "encountered
the problems that arise In a video
era campaign." said Chairman
Hale Boggs (D-LaK

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.

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

and escaped.

"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.
