APPEALS TAKEN IN RECENT JUDGMENTS
Two More Local Cases Scheduled for Supreme
 Court Hearing

Appeals to the state supreme court of errors were filed yesterday afternoon from two recent superior court decisions.
 One of the appeals is based on a denial by Judge Frank P. McEvoy to set aside the 5000 jury verdict re- turned for Albert E. Chase against Francis and Paul Fitzgerald. The litigation was based on fatal injuries sustained by Mrs. Lillian Chase last Oct. 27 when she was struck by the defendants car while crossing South Main street.
 The other appeal was taken by David s. and Max Zusman, doing business at the Commercial Iron & Metal Co.,, from a decision in which Judge McEvoy ruled work mems compensation payments were due to Mrs. Marie RinchiuSo for the death of her husband, Joseph RinchiuSo, victim of an air-hose prank at the plant.
 Two of the employees at the con- cern, John Cherepinsky and Frank Davis, faced criminal charges as a result of the death of the other enploye nJuly 9, four days after the incident. Davis was exonerated of criminal liability by Judge John A. Cornell, while the other accused was. given 8 jail sentence on a charge of manslaughter.

persons with corneal defects, in the United States, may have an oppor- tunity to see again through the &C., tivitieS of The Eye Bank. The oper- ation substituting a healthy cornea for a damaged one can restore sight in only one type of blindness-that caused solely by opacity of the cornea when the rest of the eye and optic nerve are normal.
 "The purpose of The Eye Bank" i" Mrs. Breckinridge explained, "is to make available supply in fresh or preserved corneal tissue whereveh and whenever needed by hospitals and surgeons who are qualified to perform the corneal graft operation. We also plan to extend, through scholarships and fellowships, the knowledge and skill required to perform this deli- cate operation.
 "One of our most important ob- jectives will be to discover method for preservation of the corneal tiS- sue over longer period of time than is now possible. At the present time, the corneal tissue taken from a living or dead person may be stored for only three days before it is transplanted. Corneas obtained from a dead person must be re- moved within a few hours after death. In New York State, however, it is necessary to have the legal consent of the next of kin for a post-mortem removal of an eye. even though the deceased left writ ten instructions for the use of his eyes in this way"
 Many Medical Agencies Cooperating
 The National Society for the Pre- vention of Blindness and other pub lie health and medical agencies are cooperating with the project. The New York Chapter of the Ameri- can Red Cross, through its Motor Corps Division, has taken the re- sponsibility for transporting corneas between The Eye Bank and its af- filiated hospitals.
 Physicians VITO are participating in an advisory capacity, are: It. Col. M Elliott Randolph, Valley Forge, Pa; Harry s. Cradle, Chi cago, H.; Alan c. Woods, Balti- more, Md; Theodore L.

Anderson Opens
Drive to End
Meat SHORTAGES
BY RUTH GMEINER

WASHINGTON, July 5. UP)-
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P.
Anderson is going to fight the meat
shortage, not the OPA, with the
extra power granted him by con-
gress, he has revealed
Anderson told reporters that on
Monday, his first official day on
the jop, he conferred with Price
Administrator Chester Bowels about
possible effects of amendments to
the OPA extension bill, signed by
President Truman over the week
end.
The bill gave Anderson greater
power than held by any of his pred
eceSsOrs. Among them was the au-
thority to allow small Slaughterers
to ship meat across state lines and
lift present slaughter limitations.
These limitations have been
blamed for some of the current
shortages. The former New Mexico
congressman reported that on a re-
cent cross country tour with his
house food investigating committee
ne found surplus beef Just being
wasted" He predicted that exercise
of his certifying authority will elm
mate this situation.
IF olishly administered, the
amendment would nullify a good
deal of the work done by OPA," An
derSon declared. Il wanted to assure
OPA that I intend to work in con-
junction with, not opposition to, t.le
OPA program"
Local authorities, aided by the
new flexible meat program, must
cooperate in combating the black
market, Anderson declared. He cited
the example of Detroit, where the
meat supply has been drastically cut
by quotas placed on small slaugh-
tererS.
He made it clear that he does not
intend to issue blanket authority"
s.auenter indiScriminately 1t will
be necessary to "tie restrictions" to
,lermlts 20 make sure that the extra
meat slaughtered will go to shortage
areas, he explained.

the preceding>smonth. It is esti-
mated that there have been about
$4,000 individuals that have either
died or been killed in this camp
since the place was built
The thing that was the most
imprec sive to me was the terrible
condition that the patients were
in. They were actually starved to
death. During the first few days
they died faster than we could bury
them. If this could happen after
we came in. am certain 1t was
much worse before.
THE chamber of horrors is still
present, that is, their gas cham

steps Cf death at this camp has
been told and re-told in news

gravel pit or stone quarry here at
the rear of the camp. There are
1877 steps leading out of this pit.

VICKSBURG, Miss, July 5. tUP)
Once upon a time the streets OF

years to forget that it happened on
Independence Day.
National unity overcame heart
aches and bitterness and tears We'd
nesday as the city's 24,000 popula-
ton celebrated the Fourth of July
for the first time since Vicksburg
fell to the Union armies Of Gen. U.
S. Grant on July 4, 1868.
The Mason Dixon line faded to
just a, paragraph in the history
books. Army bands alternated on
the national anthem and Dixie and
pride that had smouldered for more
than three-quarters of century
threw off its wraps to produce the
grandest day Of festivity this sec
ton of the south has ever known.
Honor guest was Major Gen. Ed
ward H. Brooks, commanding gen.
eral of the Fourth Service Com
mand at Atlanta, Ga. whose en-
trance into the city was heralded
far differently from that of the
Yankee leaders who broke the back
bone of the Confederacy."
Every civic club in the city was
represented in welcome, general
parade which moved past stores and
business establishments shut tight
for the day.
Afternoon events included a free
barbecue, a baseball game between
two service teams, parade retreat
by military police, a family picnic,
military demonstration, tennis
matches and water show
