OPERATION SAVES
N. D.. CHILD'S LIFE
Bronchoscope Used to Remove
Screw Which Threatened
to Choke Victim

Minneapolis, July 23.-(P-A one
inch screw was removed from the
lung Of an eight-year-old North Da-
kota girl Wednesday after she was
brought to Minneapolis by airplane
for an emergency operation
The girl, Marie Anne Odegaard.
Grafton, N. D., spent the night In the
hospital here and intends to return
home Thursday.
The accident occurred Saturday
when the girl sneezed with q screw In
her mouth. It entered her wind pipe
and lodged in a bronchial tube. Sew
eral hours later she complained Of q
pain in her lung. Her temperature
rose rapidly Monday, and Tuesday
she was taken 20 a North Dakota
physician, but he failed to locate the
screw.
Wednesday her parents decided to
bring her to Minneapolis. She was
placed on a plane at Grand Forks ana
reached Minneapolis shortly after
1880 p. m. The operation took place
a short time later.
To remove the screw, q Minneap-
oils eye, ear, nose and throat special
list used a bronchoscope. An X-ray
was taken to locate the screw. Then
with the instrument illuminated on
the end by q tiny electric light, the
physician began his work. He fol-
lowed the same path the screw took
last Saturday. When it was located
he used a pair Of long-handled for

New York, July 23.-tR)-Col. and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh plan to
start next week on a vacation flight
to the Orient.
Il do not know what day we will
be ready" the colonel said.
Several more instruments are to be
installed in his Lockheed Sirius mon
oplane, which has been converted in
to a seaplane by the attachment Of
pontoons.
The Lindbergh plane carries two
radio sets and emergency rations for
60 days.
They have selected an suspicious
season for their vacation air trip to
the Orient, officials of the weather
bureau said after consulting records
Of the north Pacific and the Boring
sea, many of them compiled by ia
pan. They found average conditions
in late July and early August to rank
with the best for flying in that re-
gion. The route will be via Ottawa.
the Canadian northwest and Alaska.
Later the menace of storm, fog and
ice forming on wings, increases. The
northern summer, which wanes rap
idly after middle. August, now Is at
it's peak.
However, Charles L. Mitchell. wea-
ther fo~recaster, pointed out that In
the nature of the regions weather,
the averages might be far from con-
ditions obtaining this year. In Aug

said, there are usually two or three
disturbances over the ocean each day.
Most, however, pass to the south OF

The navy has the distance stations

Lindberghs plan to fly to the Orient

In addition, 1t carries in a COLLAPSE

BOSTON, August 25.-William Green,

tains of industry have accomplished no

unemployment emergency. He spoke
before the twenty-second biennial con-
vention of the Amalgamated Associa-

ployes of America.
Those who have expected the de-
preston to pass have been disappointed,
President Green said. THE situation
of unemployment Is more and more
widespread, blighting all sections OF the
United States and other nations. Among
the captains of industry there does not
seem to be a realization or appreciation
of the seriousness of the situation. ]
charge them with failure to meet urgent
needs of the situation. There has been
nothing whatever done collectively by
those who own and manage industry TO
relieve the situation"
Labor'S action in the emergency,
Green said, was to propose an tmme-
date special session of the Congress to
legislate more construction programs and
relief measures and to request that
President Hoover call an immediate
conference between the leaders OF labor
and industry. Labor, he said, would
cooperate to the fullest In . confer
ence with industrial leaders.
