 For Newmon
By WILLARD HAZELBUSH

Forth Worth, Tex, July 5 - (U. Corporal Jim Newman, the Ba- taan hero whom medical opinion has doomed to death, today was given a slim fighting chance to sur- vive Japanes brutality.
 Dr. Jack Daley, inspired by his ever cheerful patients indomitable courage, said the 25 years old living skeleton he weighs only 92 pounds-had one chance in thou sand to live.
 Corporal Jim's dauntless spirit and avowed certainty he would cheat death, Dr. Daley said, might pull him through-despite his starv- ed condition and the illnesses that struck him during three horrible years in Japanese prison camp.
 Courage and prayer - Jim said prayer alone kept him alive on Lu- zon - migh save the Fort Worth soldier if he lives few more days, his physician explained.
 But Dr. Daley agreed with Army doctors that medical science and food were of little avail now.
 Military authorities had fought since his liberation last February to save the once brawny six-footer from effects of malnutrition, tuber- culoSiS, beri-beri and laryngitis. Then they sent Jim home Monday so he might die in his own bed.
 That's the way Jim's parents, MT. and Mrs. O. F. Newman, wanted it..
 Of course, Jim wanted to be home, too. But he said right away he was- n't going to die.
 I'm going to get we'll" Jim re- peated, adding that his odds on that are much better than given by Dr. Daley. 'Mom's biscuits and my own prayers will pull me through"
 From all parts of the nation, meanwhile gifts and messages of cheer poured into the Newman's modest white cottage here. There were air conditioning units to pro- tect Jim from the Texas heat, masses of flowers, canned food and even offers of "all the meat you can eat"

Terryville, July 5-In an effort to provide a playground for the chill dren of the town, the selectmen will be asked to remove about 20 apple trees from the Clark proper ty on North Main street, following which the grounds could. be arrang- ed for the children. The trees oc- cupy large section of the so-called Clark property purchased by the Town of Plymouth last year and To- cated just north of where the Clark resident which was razed last year stood.
 Baldwin Park is not available for any public recreation facilities, ef- forts being made to maintain the general appearance of the park, which is not owned by the town, but controlled by an organization known as the Baldwin Park Association.
 Several efforts have been made in recent years to have benches placed on Baldwin Park for the comfort of the townspeople, but no results have been reached, with the result that residents feel that with little expense the Clark property could be arranged for the children.
