SURGERY SAVES:
BABY'S LIFE AS
MOTHER DIES
POsthumOus Child
Expected to Live
By DOROTHY KILGALLEN

By DOROTHY KILGALLEN
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6 dN.S).
Clinging to the black shrouds OF
death, life came to a bare. white
hospital room this morning.
Mrs. Mary Boccawsini died and
In dying gave the gift of life to a
gasping, crying mite of humanity
"a daughter.
At 3:15 a. m, the 27-year-old
mother succumbed to the ravages
of tubercular meningitis. One
minute later, surgeons had per-
formed a Caesarian secion in the
white glare of the operating light.
Life Triumphs
Life literally and dramatically
triumphed over death.
General Hospital physicians,
shortly before noon, removed the
tiny, black-haired baby from her
oxygen tent and administered the
first feeding with a medicine
dropper.
The infant, weighing only three
and a half pounds, was reported
breathing regularly. Her tempera-
t,1re, 1O4 at birth, had dropped to
1925, The feeding consisted OF a
solution of glucose, a solution OF
sugar and water.
Only Eight Minutes Time
The operation was performed
by DR.. John Corbit, resident OBJ
stetrician. He had less than
eight minutes after the mothers
death to deliver the child. It was
explained the blood from the
mothers heart would have lost
Its momentum after that time,
causing the child to suffocate.
A few minutes before death
came to the frail little woman
whose first child was Still-born'
her temperature rose to 1894 de-
srees, perilling the child's life.
A nurse at the bedside imlnedi-
ately summoned DR.. Corbitt. The
young surgeon hurried into the
room and found her dead.
Oxygen Given to Baby
Swiftly he slipped into rubber
gloves and began the operation.
Nurses previously had been as
signed to their various tasks.
DR.. Corbit performed the op-
Grafton in the small, white-walled
room where Mrs. BoccawSini had
lain in a coma for the last 48
hours. He said on emerging from
the room:
'"The baby is expected to live.
She is having trouble breathing
but oxygen is being admins
tered to her. The baby's tenn
perature remains high, how
ever"
DR.. Corbit declared there was
very small chance the child will
be infected by the disease that
took the life of its mother.
Assisting Dr.. Corbit at the
operation were four nurses and

obstetrician.

\ To Study Measure
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt may not
sign the District tax bill.
If he fails to sign it his veto
will throw the District govern.
ment into unprecedented financial
chaos, because the Districtalready
is scraping the bottom of the cash
drawers to pay running expenses.
If he does sign it, the TydingS-
Miller provision, about which the
President apparently has not made
up his mind, will give Federal
sanction to retail price fixing con-
tracts almost everywhere In the
United States EXCEPT the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Bill is Received
The bill reached the White
House today and was Immediately
sent to the Budget Bureau for
study. Just previously, the Pres
ident told his regular Friday press
conference that he did not care
to predict his action on the bill
whether he would sign it or re-
turn it to Congress with a veto.
Further, the President said that
he would send the bill for COM
ment and report to the District
Commissioners and various Fed
eral officials, including the Attor-
ney General, the Secretary Of the
Treasury and to the Budget Blu
reau.> Attorney General Cunl-
mingS is understood to have given
the Miller-Tydings amendment
his unofficial blessing.
If the President vetoeS the bill
it may be on account Of the Tyd.
ingsMiller rider, but whatever he
intends to do is mystery to Dis
trict officials who said today that
the White House had never COM
municated any opposition to their
urgent advocacy of the tax bill the
way it passed Congress.
May Be RepaSsed
At the same time the Presidents
associates have been informed
that the bill could be passed over

Miller bill.
The Tydings- Miller measure per.
mits price-maintenance contracts
between retailers and manufac4
turers and is aimed largely at cut.
rate merchants and chain stores.
The strength of the bill in Con.
gress today is said to rest on the
large demand for its passage by
an army of local neighborhood
merchants all over the country.
The White House did not want
the TydingS-Miller measure enact
ed; did not favor it's being dragged
through Congress attached to the
District tax bill.
White House emissaries tried
gently to prevent the passage of
the Tydings-Miller bill, but did not
care to attract attention with
their efforts. White House spokes.

VESSEL
BOMBED NEAR
SPANISH COAST
French Ship Hit By
Torpedo, Is Report

MARSEHLES, Aug. 6 U.N.SO.
The French tramp steamer
Marie Therese de BOrgne reach
ed port here today with gaping
hole in her side. The ship was
reported tOrpedOed enrOute to
Spain.
LONDON, Aug. 6 G.NS).-A
report that the 6,000-ton Italian
merchant ship Mongolia was
bombed southwest of Cartagena,
Spain, was received in shipping
circles here today. No details were
known.
GIBRALTAR, Aug. 6 U.N.SO.
Because her inflammable cargo
Of benzine remained unexploded
while bombs burst around her,
the English tanker British Cor
poral, victim of a mysterious
attack by unidentified airplanes,
was able to proceed unaided to
Algiers today.
The ships earlier SOS, which
frantically called for immediate
assistance and then was followed
by silence, was cancelled.
Launch Investigation
British naval authorities began
forthwith an investigation into
the bombing, which occurred
northwest Of Algiers and south
Of Almeria, Spain. The attackers
were presumed to be Spanish,
but of which civil war faction
was not known.
A report received at Algiers said
a monoplane aimed 40 small aerial
torpedoes at the British Corporal
over a period Of SIS minutes and
machine-gunned the members OF
the crew when they tried to take
to the boats.
None of the torpedoes struck
but the conclusion temporarily
crippled the ships radio.
Radio Breaks Down
The long interval of the
British corporal's silence was ex
planned by a breakdown in the
radio. Cancellation of the SOS
was flashed as soon as the wire,
less was repaired. Whether the
tanker was damaged was not
stated.
A grave international situation
seems certain to develop if the
identity of the bombers can be
established. Britain, following q
series Of previous incidents, has
issued stern warnings to both
sides in the Spanish civil wal
to respect the rights OF His
Majesty's shipping.

Warden Collins
 Tells of Newest
 SitdOWl Strike

Report that the "sitdown" strike idea is spreading to the Arctic is confirmed in a dispatch received from Game Warden Grenold Col lins of the Alaska Game Commis- sion. who has been travelling in the Westward and Arctic and is now at Nome. Not overlooking the humor of the situation, the Warden writes:
 Possibly taking their cue from the type of strike now prevalent in the States, the extremely primitive Eskimos of Hooper Bay, a remote village on the western Alaska coast recently staged a sit-down strike.
 On July 31 the famous old schooner trader" of Nome was moored to the banks of a tidal slough near the village at Hooper Bay. The Trader is one of the only vessels that makes yearly voyages east of Point Barrow and east to Demarcation Point. This year 1t is believed that she will be the only
 
 boat to journey to the eastern Arc tic coast. She is commanded by Cap tain Pete Palsson, veteran ice pilot of the north.
 During the time that the schoon- CT was moored in the slough, the owner, Ira Rank of Nome, traded briskly with the Eskimos for curios, sealskins and other useful commo- dities. When the trading was fin- ished it was necessary for the ship to leave with the high tide in order to clear the shoals off the coast en- route to Nome. At high tide the captain hustled the Eskimos ashore in their Kyaks and hoisted the ships dory aboard and was ready to leave but when asked to do so, the Eski- mos refused to cast loose the ships lines from the beach. Being hustled ashore before they were ready was too much for the peace and dignity of the Eskimos and they all sat down and began abusing the schoon- cl anu llS OltW III ViiC IoNAA4iO tongue.
 They had always obliged by turning the vessel loose before but the two hundred odd natives as- sembled on the bank now refused to budge Many Kyaks were also padding about the ship to act as a picket line of defense.
 Trader Ira Rank now mounted the poop and offered 50 cents to each kyak that would cast loose the lines. The natives then consulted and announced that the price would be a dollar, or they would remain seated Several boys, anxious to earn 50 cents so easy, now padded toward the mooring posts but they were met by the picket line and a fierce Kyak battle ensued Paddles were used to splash water over the 'scabbing' Eskimos and these fin ally turned and fled before superior numbers As the tide was falling fast, it was necessary for those on the trader to concede victory to the Eskimos and dory was lowered to take in the lines. The little schooner was soon headed out for the open sea. The natives excultant in victory followed along the bank and threw mud balls at the vessel until she was out of reach"
