PHILADELPHIA. August e.-Out
of death came life today.
In stirring drama of modern
surgery. a 312 pound baby girl was
delivered-With a family Pickering
heartbeat and a temperature of los
degrees-one minute after her disease
doomed mother had died The moth
er's temperature was 1885, hospital
records showed.
Physicians struggled to keep the
newborn infant alive despite rag
ing fever temperature.
Immediately after the post -mortem
operation, the baby was placed in an
incubator and fed oxygen. Hospital
attaches said there was fair" chance
the baby would survive.
The oxygen tent was removed shortly
before noon. but was restored within 10
minutes when the infant started to
breathe irregularly and changed color.
Fed With Eye-Dropper.
She was fed one gram of sugar and
water with an eye-dropper. Her tenn
perature at the latest reading was
1926.
Every minute she lives increases
her chances of surviving" said Dr.
John Corbit, resident obstetrician and
assistant chief surgeon, who performed
the operation. Medical records in
these cases show the baby usually has
a 100to-1 chance Of living. However

DR.. Corbit said the baby would be
given nourishment from mother
who recently bore twins. one of whom
died.
Eight cubic centimeters of milk

vals through an eye-dropper
"Okay" was the physicians latest
comment on the infants condition.
He said her temperature was dropping
slowly and that her color continued
to improve since she was returned
to the oxygen tent.
Doctors had waited for the mother,
Mrs. Mary Boccassini, 81, to die.
Incurably afflicted with tubercular
meningitis, she was on her death-bed
as the time approached for the birth
of her child.
She was too weak to endure an
operation for the delivery, and at
the same time her consuming fever
was endangering the life Of the un-
born baby.
Too Weak for Operation.

BULLETIN.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate today voted 40 TO az In
put the s726,000,000 Wagner -Stea gall
slum- clearance housing program un-
der the supervision of Secretary of In.
terror Ickes.
The amendment, proposed by Sen.
ator Logan, Democrat, of Kentucky.
carried over the opposition of Senator
Wagner, co-outhor of the bill. and
other members of the Education and
Labor Committee. who made a plea
that the proposed United States Hous-
ing Authority be kept an independent
agency.
With this issue settled, Senator Nc.
Carran, Democrat, of Nevada moved
to reconsider the Byrd amendment of
two days ago. which limited the cost
OF the slum- m-clearance projects to
$1,000 per room or $4,000 per unit.
This is preliminary to an effort by
supporters of the measure to obtain a
more liberal limitation, fearing that
building costs in large cities will ham,
per the program if the $1,000 limit
prevails.
Could Be Settled Later.
The question OF consolidating SIM
liar activities, which is major phase
OF the Government reorganization
movement, was involved indirectly in
the Logan amendment. Several of its
supporters took the view that if there
is to be general reorganization in the
near future, Congress should not set
up more independent agencies.
opponents used the same argu-
ment, contending that the question
of where the new housing authority
should be placed should be settled
when general reorganization is being
carried out
The fact that the housing division
OF P. w. A. is already under the di-
rection of Secretary Ickes in his ca
pacity as P. w. A. administrator was
one OF the chief arguments advanced
IN support of giving him supervision
over the new slum- clearance author
ity.
Although Democrats split on ths
question. the Logan amendment re.
celVed strong Republican support.
Eleven Republicans and the two
Farmer-Laborites Joined with 27
Democrats to put over the amend
ment. -Four Republicans and one
Progressive voted with 80 Democrats
against placing the new activity in

BULLETIN.
The Senate today stood by the
Byrd amendment to the housing
bill limiting the cost of slum clear
ance projects to 81 900 per room. or
$4,000 per unit. 1t tabled a mo-
ton to reconsider the Byrd limita-
ton by a vote of A to SO.
Evening star., 1937-08-06

In the debate which preceded the
vote Ickes' work as head of P. w. A.
was praised by Senators Lewis, Demo-
crat, OF Illinois; McKellar, Democrat,
Of Tennessee; Murray. Democrat, of
Montana and others.
Senator King favored placing the
new program under the Interior De-
partment Secretary, although he said
he was not entirely satisfied with what
has been accomplished thus far by the
existing Housing Division.
Would Mean $500 Houses.
In opposing the move to raise the
cost limitation from $1,000 to s1,400
per room, exclusive of land, Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan
declared that, counting the land, the
higher limitation would mean a &6, 500
housing unit. Pointing out that the
program means taxing all Of the peo-
pie to rebuild in the slum areas, VAN
denberg said that more than 81 per
cent of all the home owners in the
United States live in homes that cost
$4,000 or less. He added that 70 per
cent Of all the home owners in the
country live in houses that cost less
than $500. Out of 100000 farm.
ers, $500, 900 have homes costing less

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 81. (UP)
Out over the two great bridges
spanning San Francisco bay and
the Golden Gate Wednesday after
noon, the China Clipper winged in
to the sunset over the Pacific.
The flight-No. 155-marked the
first anniversary Of trans-Pacific
air service.
1t was on Oct. 81, 1886, that the
first Pan American Airways clipper
ship started on a regular passenger
flight which brought Honolulu with
in overnight distance from San
Francisco. 1t brought Manila and
the Orient within the realm of
quick trips"
Who rides the Clipper ships, and
why? Pleasure, business, tragedy,
war, emergency, romance all
these things must have influenced
the lives of the men, women and
children who rode the big ships out
over the Golden Gate to the other
side of the world.
InlS reporter sought to answer
those questions.
Commonplace
The Clipper ships and their flights
may have become commonplace in
the eyes of aviation experts who
are looking into the future. But
the average man and woman still
is held by the aura of romance and
adventure which the Clippers bring
to mind.
Officials recalled that with the
original announcement that trans
Pacific service would start there
was rush by professional first
trippers" to secure tickets on the
first clipper to leave. But these
people have long since disappeared
