THREE-YEAR-OLD
 LAD LOST FIGHT

Cambridge, Mass, March 24-- (UP) - Chubby-cheeked Johnny McMahon, 3, who remembered how to smile even when his little body was tortured by a rare blood dis ease, lost a gallant battle for his life at a hospital early today. At the bedside was Johnny's widowed mother, Mrs. Mary McMahon, who refused to give up hope until she was summoned to the hospital shortly before the child died. For a month, Johnny lay on his h0spi- tai cot. fighting against inevitable death from lymphatic leukaemia-- a preponderance of white corpus cles in the blood stream.
 Doctors knew that he could not live. but Johnny didn't. He kept smiling until yesterday when he lapsed into coma.
 Before losing consciousness, John- ny cried. But 1t wasn't because of the disease that ravaged his body. He just didn't want his mother to leave his bedside.
