Single Slip Would
Be Fatal for Man
Held i'm Iron Lung

SAN FRANCISCO, June II. UP)
One slip in the preparations
made today for removal of Fred
erick Snite, Jr., the man in the
iron lung" from the S. S. Presi-
dent Coolidge, may take his life,
officials disclosed.
The infantile paralysis victim
will arrive in San Francisco Sat
urday aboard the ship that carried
him from the Orient where he was
stricken while on a vacation trip
An artificial respirator aboard
the ship will have to be removed to
a pullman car that will carry him
to a hospital in his home city Chi
cago.
While the respirator is moved, the
youth will be placed in a portable
respirator. The boy will be car
ried off the boat on a Stretcher
while a hand reSpirator keeps him
breathing.
Snite then will be placed in the
iron lung aboard the pullman. One
slip in the delicate operations that
would destroy the apparatus used
to force air in and out of his lungs
would cause his death. Physicians
estimate he could live approximately
five minutes without the aid OF a
reSpirator.
Although the liner will reach
here Saturday morning, the ar
ranGementS made today disclosed
that Snte will not be removed from
the boat until few hours before
the time scheduled for departure
of the train, around 8 pm.
Ten nurses and doctor Will ac-
company the patient to Chicago
aboard the special car. The re-
manned of the party including his
family and friends, totaling % per-
sons, will ride in a second pullman.
Two pullman company officials
and a special agent of each divi-
sion of the Southern Pacific rail-
road will ride with the train over
the division to make sure there are
no slips.
In addition to the two pullmans,
the train will include two special
baggage cars holding special equip
ment. air conditioning machines, a
spare respirator, 1900 pounds of ice,
an extra power plant for the Iron
lung" The train will take Snite
directly to a hospital in Chicago.
Meanwhile, reports from the
Coolidge said that Snite, recovering
from his seasickness, celebrated his
23th birthday. A special dinner in
his honor was held for his entour-
age of nurses, doctors and tech

$3,OOO,OOO
GRID POOL
INCORPORATED

RENO, New, June II. QUP) "A
$3OOO,OOO pool based on scores Of
football games to be played by 40
leading collegiate teams this fall
was formally incorporated in Car
son City today.
Total point scores for all teams
will be multiplied by the number
of games played. Charles A. War
rem of San Francisco, president OF
the new organization, explained.
Each holder of a ticket in the pool
will select a certain number.
A erandprize Of 100000 and sec
ond prize of $4,000 will be offered
along with 100 other awards total
ing $700,000 Ten per cent of the
receipts will 90 toward building a
National Children's Hospital in
Reno.
I'VE will have no solicitors in any
other city than Reno" Warren said,
"and positively will not use the
Federal mails. We are going to get
an opinion from the US. Attorney
General on the matter Immediately.
We believe. an dso do leading law
yers in Reno, San Francisco and Los
Angeles, that there is nothing il
legal about the pool"
Warren emphasized his belief the
plan was not lottery or sweep
stakes, both of which are Illegal
under federal and state law. The
Nevada Legislature this year passed
a resolution to appeal the state con-
stitutional ban against lotteries, but
the resolution must pass the 1889
session and receive approval of the
people before becoming effective.
A form of Chinese lottery is now
conducted openly in Nevada gamb-
ling houses.

SION ana blind aid bills, left for
his decision by the legislature, at
a ceremony late yesterday.
Expressing pride in the new leg
lslation which made California the
nations leader both in liberality
and amount OF payments" the gov
ernor added as he initiated the
pension measure:
Il have only one regret in sign
ing this bill. 1 am afraid these
things will attract to California
hordes of people whom they will
benefit.
I'VE want to do all we can for
our own citizens, but we simply
can't carry the load for the other
states"
Among those present for the bill
signing ceremony was Veteran AS
Semblyman William HornbloWer,
San Francisco, who authored Doth
laws.
The National Old Age Pension
committee of the Fraternal Order
OF Eagles will seek early revision
OF the National Social Security act
to permit special redress to Cali
fornia, Florida and other states
which are being forced to carry
an increasingly ponderous relief
load because of legal liberality and
favorable climatic conditions, Horn
blower commented This is espe-
cially true in southern California,
where the relief situation is be-
coming virtually unbearable."
The assemblyman attributed CAL
ifornia's serious relief problem to
the fact that old age pensions, for
example, run as low as six or
eight dollars a month in some
states.
Merriam estimated the liberal
lied pension set-up would increase
present costs approximately 81
252 600 biennially with the ampli-
fled blind program adding an
other $5000,000 Federal, state and
colnty governments win contri-
butte about $2,256000 each to the
pension payments and approx
mately $l,751,0OO apiece to blind
assistance, he estimated. Horn
blower believed the blind estimates
about right, but expected the pen
sion costs to run somewhat higher.

 Preliminary conversations among delegations seeking to fix their posi- tlons before the formal convening of the congress revealed c wide differ- ence of opinion on the Issue, which Jews regard aS the most crucial to face any congress since the principle of Jewish national home in the Holy Land was proclaimed by Lord Dalfour in 1917,
 Americans Not United
 The United States delegation, al. though pledged in advance to vote against partition, was far from unanimous ct It's pre-congress cau- GUS last night. There were indlca. tions that some O. the % delegates would support the plan, despite the pledge.
 There was sharp division among the labor party delegates, who con- trol nearly half the votes in the con- gress. After numerous conferences, they still were unable to achieve Q semblance of unity. and 1t appeared that they would be unable to vote as q unit when the resolution on partition iS acted upon.
