Girl Causes
Rescue of
3 In Sea

NEW YORK, Aug. 7 G.NSJ.
A pretty 17-year-old girl, hysterical
and exhausted, swept in by the
sea to a Long Island beach, today
gasped out a story that launched
a spectacular rescue of three Of
her companions from their cap
sized cabin cruiser.
Revived, the girl, Marjorie Muir
ray, related how she and her COM
panions had been thrown into the
pounding sea when a gigantic
wave turned their boat over.
AS the Coast Guard and New
York marine police organized
their search. another member of
the party, 22-year-old John Jan.
coSki, owner of the cruiser, was
dragged to safety from the surf.
An hour later the other two
members of the party, Helen Nc
Neff, 10. and Harold McCloud,
q, were found, buoyed up by
life belts, clinging to each other
a half-mile off shore.
The storm-smashed cruiser,
with its cabin torn off, later was
washed ashore near the site of
the rescue at Edgemere.
Miss Murray said she and her
companions had put out to sea
from their homes at Woodmere.
L. l., in the motorboat for a
cruise. She said:
"SOmewhere-I don't know
exactly, but it was pretty far
out, we ran into a rough sea
and the waves knocked our
boat over. 1t was dark and 1
couldn't see what happened to
the others. But = managed to
grab and hold to a life pre-.
server as went into the
water. That saved my life."

PHILADEL PH1A, Aug. 6
G.N.SO Since the advent of
modern surgery, the controversy
has come down through the years:
How far shall science go in saw
ing lives by surgery?
Shall science coldly outweigh
the dictates of parental love?
Medical records are filled with
cases similar to that of Dominick
Boccawsini, who at first protested
a Caesarian operation upon his
doomed wife to save the life of
their baby.
Should the doctor, with his cal
culated knowledge of the case,
back down to parental objections
based on the feelings of the heart,
when he knows an operation is
imperative?
Other Cases Cited

SILVER SPRING
HOSPITAL PLAN
GAINS SUPPORT

SILVER SPRING, Md, Aug. 7.
Establishment of a hospital in
Silver Spring within the next few
months appeared likely today as
it was learned that an Eastern
religious order stands ready to ex-
pend nearly quarter of a million
dollars at the outset to get the
proposed institution in operation.
A group of physicians practicing
in the suburban area are said to
be heartily in favor Of the pro-
posal and have been actively en-
gagged in a canvass of the Silver
Spring area in an effort to find a
suitable quarters for the, hospital
or site on which to erect it..
A religious order of nuns, said
to be from Philadelphia, has con-
templated establishing a hospital
in this area for some time, it was
learned, and is prepared to spend
at least $2O0,OOO at the beginning
to get it started.
Final approval of the program,
however, must be given by Arch
bishop Curley before the work can
proceed, and since he is now in
Europe no definite steps can be
taken until he is consulted. 1t is
expected that he will return to
Baltimore about September IS.
Among structures considered as
a hospital site is the Bulls School
in East Silver Spring. This build
ing formerly housed a large Sani-
tarium and with a few changes
it is believed it could be converted
into a modern hospital building.

Memorable Experience.
Describing the vivid impression left
by the disaster, Belin, son of the for
mer Minister to Poland, said:
L will never forget the few seconds
between the time Of the explosion
and when I struck the field. I was
taking pictures through the window
and had just changed films when the
ship was shaken by the blast.
AS the tail dropped, about a dozen
persons were thrown against the rear
wall OF the salon. AS I grabbed an
uprlght glrder, one OF the passengers
knocked the camera out of my hand
as he slid by.
We were at about ITS feet then
and started to drop rapidly. Two
stewards jumped out Of a window, and
followed them"

Belin ran clear OF the falling shin
end half an hour later succeeded in
locating his parents who had driven
to lakehurst to meet him, but had

astonishment at the speed with which
asbestos-clad rescuers tore at the
burning ship.
