Glib. Infant Given Chance
To Live After Operation

BY the Associated Press
OMAHA, Nebr, Nov. 18.-Marilyn
Sistek, three pounds of 13-day-old
humanity, was given fair chance"
to live after an operation last night
which would task the resistance of
many an adult.
A physician who declined to per-
init use Of his name performed a
gastrostomy-an operation making
an opening into the stomach
through the abdomen.
Marilyn, twin daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Emil Sistek, had difficulty in
breathing when she was born.
Members of the Omaha fire depart
ment came to the rescue, fitted an
iron lung to the baby's needs and
restored normal respiration.
Later it was found that she could
not take nourishment because no
opening existed from the esophagus
to the stomach and the operation
was deemed necessary.
Her sister Marie and the mother
are doing nicely"

Mser. McAddms Talk,
As Hierarchy Marks
lis 150th Year
Poises Good Works Of
Archbishop Carroll and
Cordinol Gibbons

The names of great Catholic
leaders in the American hierarchy
from Archbishop John Carroll to
James Cardinal Gibbons were
brought back from the pages of his
tory yesterday as the Right Rev.
Msgr. Edward P. McAdams, pastor
of st. Joseph's Church, spoke at q
pontifical mass at Catholic Univer-
sity commemorating the 150th year
Of the hierarchy.
The mass was celebrated by Most
Rev. Michael J. Curley, Archbishop
of Baltimore and Washington, in
the Shrine of the Immaculate Con-
ception at the university.
/ Msgr. McAdams declared the
ground on which we stand close
to the homesite of John Carroll is
not only sainted soil but also the
greatest center of Catholicism in the
Christian era outside of Rome.
Archbishop Carroll was the st.
Ambrose of America, Msgr. McAdam
said, pointing also to the founding
of Georgetown University by the
prelate.
"And if Archbishop Carroll may
be considered as the foundation OF
the hierarchy of the United States
of America" said Msgr. McAdams
then James Cardinal Gibbons is its
towering pinnacle"
No citizen has ever understood the
American traditions better than
Cardinal Gibbons, he said, and nc
statesman or patriot has ever di-
rected his life and his influence
more untiringly in upholding the
Constitution of the United States.
Those attending the special cere.
mony included two cardinals-Den.
mis- Cardinal Dougherty of Philadel.
phia and j. M. Rodrique Cardina'
Villeneuve of Quebec. Also present
were Is archbishops from all parts
of the United States, nearly 10t
bishops from as far off as the Philip
pines, as well as hundreds OF mon.
signors, priests and other religious
leaders.
