Psychologist BGres
Data on Alcohol Tests

Alcohol attacks the lipoidS or

thus affects the nervous system,

the opening session Of the South
ern Society for Philosophy and
Psychology yesterday. The meet

Experiments with rats show
that alcohol affects them as If

HAsT1NGs-oN-HUDso NY,
April Is UNS)-John and Anna
Vasko today took their child away
from the court that might compel
her to sacrifice an eye to save
her life.
Before dawn they stole from
their little house near the railroad
tracks, the father carrying Helen,
the 2-year-old whose left eye Is
afflicted with a cancerous growth
that is spreading to her brain.
They were bound for .PotSsvllle'
Pa, where they are said to have
relatives.
Court Ruling Near
For weeks the Vaskos have re-
sisted the pressure of physicians,
judges. priests, to give their con-
sent to an operation on Helen.
They would not believe that their
child, a twin, was doomed. The
mother kept putting drops in the
baby's eye and offering up prayers.
When the court ordered the
operation and it seemed only q
matter Of days before the appel
late division would hand down an
opinion making it possible for
police to take the child by force,
Mrs. VaSko could stand no more.
Quietly, behind locked doors,
she began her preparations for
flight. Her husband had told the
little crowd of reporters who stood
in front of the house that he had
relented, and would allow the
operation il the court said so.
zone Smart Man"
It was 4:30 this morning when
the Vaskos left their home. John
Dromishinski, q neighbor, saw
Vasko and the sick child; Mrs.
Vasko, carrying the twin sister.
Anna, and Mary, who is ii, walk
down the road like a troupe Of
ghosts before the dawn.
Science and court orders and
prying strangers they were leav-
ing behind them. The words OF
. friend echoed in DromishinSk1's
ears:
"J0hn VaskO Is one smart
man. He not wait for them to
take his baby away. He take
the baby away himself. Pretty
far. Then NO one tell John
VasAo what to do with his
baby"
II Vasko had waited until Mon
day he might not have been able
to go, without risking prosecu-
ton for contempt of court.
Monday it is expected the appel.
late division will decide to give
the child into the custody c. the
Children'S Society, as directed by
Judge George w. Smythe, of
YonkerS, so that the operation
might be performed.
Faith in Faith
The parents of Helen VaSko
feel that her life would be ruined
by the loss of one of her beauti-
ful blue eyes. They feel they
alone should decide what is best
tor the baby.
The mother does not believe
doctors can save Helen. But she
Is confident her own faith will
provide the cure.
Their departure will terminate
q virtual siege of the Vascos'
house.
All day yesterday scores of
curious thronged the alley ad.
jacent to the house, hoping to
catch glimpse of Mrs. Vasko
or the baby.
They were held in check by q
police guard. and by Mrs. Vasko's
threat to pour boiling water on
any who attempted to enter the
house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vasko and their
child are safe, If they are out of

SEWER PROJECTS HARDEST HIT
BY CONGRESS SLASHING STREAK
Lack of Funds to Continue Upper Potomac
Interceptor Line Means Year Delay.
Less Cleaning and Repairs.

story The elimination of any money
for continuing construction on the
Upper Potomac interceptor sewer will
delay for another year the department S
program of removing sewage from the
Potomac River. Less work will be done
on cleaning and repairing old sewers,
and the department will be forced to
trust to luck that some of them will
not fail altogether during the year
The item for cleaning and repairing
sewers Is cut from the present ap-
preparation of $221.000 to S195 900.
The first figure mentioned is adjusted
tc absorb the Is per cent cut in SAL
aries. so as to make the two figures
comparable. This difference of $26 900
will be made up by laying off personnel
so as to absorb about $4,000, and the
balance will be absorbed by buying less
material and doing less cleaning.
For construction of main and pipe
sewers. the figure in the bill is S100 900.
The comparable figure for the current
fiscal year is s204,6 800, or more than
twice as much
