Mayo Clinic Kills
Hope for Child
BY LINTON T. ARKLEs

One more door was closed today
in the search for a cure for the
rare, paradoXical malady which
afflicts Diane Eaton, 18-month-old
daughter of an East Detroit filling
station attendant, when the
famed Mayo Clinic at Rochester,
Mimi. returned a verdict that il
could offer no help for her allergy
TO light.
Little Diane lies in darkness at
the Children's Hospital of Michi-
gan. doomed by the strange, in
durable disease which turns the
health-giving rays of the sun into
death rays.
Hindering the doctors and labo-
ratory research workers in their
quest OF solution is the fact that
Diane is only the Both recorded
victim OF the affliction, known
technically as hematoporphyrinu-
ria.

Rx YVES GALLAGHER

ST. DEN1S-LE-GAST, France,
July 30-lREThough, bearded
infantrymen teamed with a
company of 105-mm. howitzers
this morning and broke the
back of the crack SIS. Das
Reich combat team in furious
battle here that climaxed a
complete collapse of the Ger
man will to fight in a great
armored pocket from Brehal to
Tessy-Sur-Vire, 80 miles inland.
Thirsty, hungry and thor
oughly beaten, the once elite
SIS. and parac chute troops Stun
bled in by the hundreds to sur
render.
The last spasm of fierce re-
sistance took place here and
down the road at Lengronne
this morning when the Das
Reich troops in tanks tried to
smash south and out of the ar
mored trap.
They are one of the few units
left that have transport. A cap
tured order by Field Marshal
Keitel said the German army
was terribly short of motor
transport, largely due to losses
inflicted by the "Anglo-Saxon"
air force, and cautioned COM
manders to take care of their
vehicles.
More than 200 German We
hicles of every description lit
tered the road in a 20-mile
drive to this area.
They were mostly concen-
trated on the highway leading
into this town as the result of
the fierAe action taking place
just few hours ago.
It was typical OF the last
Nazi attempts to get out of the
death trap and has the added
feature of artillery men from
almost every state in the I'M
ion fighting the German tanks
so closely that, in the words of
