Wpflnosdav, Jan. 13, I960 Singer Conquers Disease Which Curbed Her Career By BOB THOMAS AP Movic-TV Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP)-The cliche 'hopeless cripple" might have been applied to singer Connie Haines when she lay abed for two years, unable to walk. But it would have been a mis take. She never gave up hope that fhe would conquer the bone ail ment that paralyzed her. Her story began three years ago. She was at the peak of her Morse Raps Army Report WASHINGTON (AP)-The Corps of Engineers Monday released its revised Columbia River Basin Report. Criticism of part of it came quickly. Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) said parts of the report were "master pieces of doubletalk." The report, Morse said, "is merely a timid expedient. It docs not take a firm stand in the inter est of engineering findings" on the Middle Snake River. Morse said the corps "almost grudgingly concedes the vast superiority" of the Ncz Perce project for developing the Middle Snake and Salmon rivers. That project, he said, would cost less and have a better benefit cost ratio "than even the new streamlined alternative Hi g h Mountain Sheep -Lower Canyon combination." Lt. Gen. E. C. Itschner, chief of the engineers, recommended 13 new projects that would cost an estimated $1,1:12,138,0(10. Among them would be the con troversial High Mountain Sheep Dam on the Middle Snake. It would cost 103 million dollars. A private utility combine, Paci fic Northwest Power Co., also wants to build at the High Moun tain Sheep site. Sen. Richard Ncubcrgcr ID- Ore) said the report added to his conviction that a moratorium on the Middle Snake is desirable un til Congress can pass on the mer its of all proposed projects. Train Derailed; Twelve Injured STAFFORD, Tex. (AP) - The Santa Fe Railroad's Texas Chief struck a stalled truck-trailer load ed with pipe and was derailed Monday night, injuring 12 aboard the fast passenger train. Engineer George Marchand spot ted the trailer stuck on a muddy crossing as the train rounded a curve about 15 miles west of Hous ton. The impact demolished the trail er and knocked four cars and four locomotive units off the track. None of the injured were in ser ious condition. The list included 7 passengers and 5 dining car crewmen. Armageddon Is in the mountains ol central Palestine. success. Her records were selling well and an appearance as sub ject of "This is Your Life" had helped bring her the top bookings of her career. Connie's personal life was joy ful, loo. The wife of aircraft ex ecutive Robert DeHaven, she was the mother of daughter Kimberly 3 months. She had just learned she was to have another baby, "I was playing at the Biltmore Bowl in Los Angeles," she re called. "When I went onstage, my left leg started to buckle under iiie I thought it was nerves or something and didn't pay too much attention. "By the tilth night, I couldn't walk onstage. But I could cover up by sort of .dancing on. I had never missed a performance in my life and believed the show should go on and all that. Finally the manager told me it was too agonizing to watch me go on and he got another act. "The next day I went to the doctor for X-rays. I remember feeling that day as if my bones were just disintegrating. The X-rays showed that her hip bones had separated and one was dangling, twisting the spinal cord. A hormone unbalance aggravated her condition and she was ordered to bed. "Still, I felt no pain," she said. "I never did. The doctor said it came from my being so relaxed." Connie was confined to bed throughout the pregnancy, except hen she ventured out on crutches against orders. Lacking pain, she was unaware that the cartilage between her bones was being worn away, further impeding her re covery. After a son Robert was born, she still remained immobile for 13 months. Her faith never wavered. "An experience like this can only deepen your faith," she re marked. "I always remembered Romans 8:38-9: 'For I am sure that neither death, nor life. . .nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.'" Now recovered after therapy, Connie has played a singing date in New Orleans and is starting to record this week for Dot Records. She is also discussing a TV series dealing with faith and children. gfi5mi Overhaul Special CHEVROLET 6 CYL, 75 00 All Parts and Labor All Other Overhaul On Other Makes Priced Accordingly. 30 Years Experience Cox Garage 2BS1 Altomont Drive TU 4-9023 American College Grads Flunk Public Service Test BOSTON (AP) American col lege graduates are flunking the test of public service, and their intellectual failure is even more shocking, according tq Dr. Perry Epler Gresham, president of Beth any College.
