Philadelphia, Dec. n.-C1arke L. Borton, a Germantown contractor, de- cided yesterday to risk his fourteen year-old sons life in a surgical oper- ation in an effort to cure the boy s criminal tendencies.

 It is intended to remove a depres- sion in the boys skull, disclosed by an x-ray examination.

I believe he does not know right from wrong. Special ists have told me the boy is not crim- inal. I. am sure he can be cured by an operation
