Reed Hospital, was overjoyed last
night when his mother told him
his 3-day-old baby, Nancy Eleanor,
survived an operation in Boston
Children's Hospital yesterday which
will permit her to eat and breathe
normally.
Down the corridor from Ward
425, his young wife, Mrs. Eleanor

mother r-in-law told her the baby's
life had been saved by the emer-
gency operation.
Mrs. F. A. Perkins, 1888 Twelfth

"I've been running messages back
and forth from Gordon to Eleanor
ever since We heard about the op-
GRAFTON. Eleanor wants me to tell
her everything Gordon said and he
begs me to tell him everything she
says. It's all SO wonderful.
And today, Gordon stayed out of
the iron lung for IL minutes. Think
OF that. That's the longest he's been
able to stay out yet"
The motherly grandmother said
Nancy Eleanor is the cutest baby
girl who has ever been born.
"She has dimple in her chin and
q little wreath of hair around her
head. Even II I am her grand
mother, still say she's the sweetest
little thing in the world" Mrs.
Perkins said, proudly.

The aurora, which was red and

pointed out that artificial limbs

that many Of the men find diff

Under Mrs. Rogers plan, the vet

She said she had talked with Gen

Equipment Provided.
In addition to the expensive motor

OF appliances ranging from $3.50 wigs

At present, veterans can be paid

facturers only If the limb factory

They are also given paid transporta-
ton to training institutions.
Mr.. Bura believes he can cut down
on travelling when VA finds out lust
what kind Of limb each factory
makes. Then, if a veteran in New
York wants to get a limb made and
fitted in California, VA will locate a
factory nearer New York which

Returnees

The big spot is due to arrive in
position to cause the aurora within
three days.
Near the equator of the sun, it
would require 28 Of our days to
complete a one "sun" day. Twenty
five days have passed since it last
was in position to cause an aurora
on the earth.
The aurora is caused when a spot
reaches position where it can bonn
bard the upper atmosphere of the
earth with electrons. The electrons
ionize the atoms of the upper at
mosphere, causing them to glow.
This same bombardment causes
radio fadeout and magnetic storms.

Vandenberg Says Rift
With Russia Would
|mperi| UN0 Structure
BY the Associated Press

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Mar. %
Senator Vandenberg Republican
of Michigan), declared tonight the
United Nations cannot survive in
its present form" if Russia and
America ever fall apart.
Senator Vandenberg, who helped
draft the United Nations charter
and was a delegate to the first UNO
General Assembly, added that there
never need be war between Russia
and the United States ''if common
sense and realism shall govern our
foreign policies in Washington and
Moscow"
He made the assertions in a
speech prepared for a civic home
coming here at his birthplace.
Says Red Actions 'Conundrum.'
Although Senator Vandenberg
found the progress made so far by
the UNO deeply encouraging" he
said the answer still is missing to
"the paramount conundrum of mod
ern what is Russia up to
now?",
"Of course, the United Nations
cannot survive in its present form
ii the so-called Big Five fall apart" !"
he said and added:
Particularly it cannot survive in
its present form if the big two
Russia and America-fall apart"
The phrase lin its present form"
was outlined each time it occurred
in his manuscript.
Il reassert, as I did upon the
Senate floor" he said, that we
can live together in reasonable har-
mony if the United States speaks
as plainly upon all occasions as
Russia does; if the United States
just as vigorously sustains its own.
purposes and ideals upon all oc-
casions as Russia does; If we aban-
don the miserable fiction, often en-
couraged by our fellow-travelers,
that we somehow jeopardize the
peace If our views are as firmly
declared as Russia's always are;
and If We assume a moral leadership
which We too frequently have al
lowed to lapse"
Common Ground in UNO.
Vandenberg said he knows Amer
lea does not want war, and he does
not believe the Soviets do either.
He added:
Il think they will continue to
press for every advantage they can
get, according to their own ma
tionalist lights, short of major war.
That is their business. We have
encouraged them in it by our Sc
cret diplomacy and our surrenders
at Yalta and elsewhere when we
were under the pressures of the
of war.
But now the war is over. 1t is
now our business to be equally firm
in the defense of our ideals and
what we conceive to be the necessi-
ties of peace with justice.
In this spirit I believe We can
find common ground within the
framework of the united nations,
particularly if we are always as
prompt to give Russia the same JUS
tice which we ask from her in re-
turn"
Senator Vandenberg said he did
not think the cause of peace was
by some of the impli-
cations in Winston Churchill's re-
cent speech at Fulton, Mo.

China Tension Raised
As Reds Seek Soviet
Position in Manchuriia
By the Associnted pr..s

CHUNGKING, Mar. 23-Tht
Chinese government announced
today that Russia had promised
to withdraw all Red Army troops
from Manchuria by April 80. as
reports circulated that Chinese
Communists were maneuverine
to move in behind the Russians
Relief was expressed over the
Russian note, but the domestic
scene was darkened by growing evil
dence of nonco-operation between
the Communists and Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek's Kuomintang.
Foreign Minister Wang shih-
chieh told the Peoples Political
Council that Russia had delivered
Friday the long-awaited reply to a
Chinese note asking when the Red
Army would carry out its agree
ment to quit Manchuria.
Promises Written Report.
Wang, pressed for details, prom
tsed to furnish written report of
negotiations over Manchuria, a SUBJ
'ject concerning which the govern
ment has been highly secretive.
Government sources said it was
unlikely that the Soviet troop with
drawal would apply to Dairen or
Port Arthur, where Russian rights
have been established by treaty.
Both are heavily garrisoned by Rus
slams.
The Central News Agency said
5000 Chinese Communists had fl
tered into the Northern Manchurian
city of Harbin. The World Daily
News charged that Communist
troops were massing in neighboring
Jehol province.
Other Chinese dispatches report
ed a column of government troops
was marching on Communicated
SSepingkai, railway city 100 miles
north of Mukden.
Chungking Sources Pessimistic.
These accounts said all Chinese
government-appointed officials for
Heilungkiang, northern province
whera the Communists have been
reported setting up an independent
regime, would leave Changchun,
Manchuria's capital, for Peiping be-
cause they were unable to assume
their duties.
Foreign diplomatic sources in
Chungking took an extremely pes
simistic view of the internal situa-
tion. They said Gen. George C.
Marshsll's personal influence was
the dominating factor in forcing
the Communists and the Kuomin-
tang to sign the recent unification
agreement and without him on the
scene> "the situation is rapidly get
ting out of hand"
Foreign observers asserted that
both the Communist and Kuomin-
tang factions were taking advantage
of the special American envoy's alb
sence in Washington.

Representative Rogers, Republi-
can of Massachusetts,, said last
night she will sponsor legislation to
buy cars for amputees If the Vet
Grams Administration refuses to pro-
vide them.
The movement to give cars to
veterans who have difficulty get
ting around was launched by For
est Glen amputees with scattered
backing so far from a few veterans
|organiza tions.
Up to now the Veterans Admin
istration has taken no stand. Walter
Bura, acting director of VAS pros
thetic appliance service. however,
said last night he would ask the
agency's solicitor for a ruling to-
morrow on whether VA could supply
cars free where VA doctors say they
are medically indicated"
Committees to Study Plan.
Mr.. Bura said he also would take
the car question to the next meet
ing of the prosthetic appliance ad-
visory committee, scheduled for early
next month. Mrs Rogers, leading
proponent of cars for amputees, is
member of the committee. The
recommendations Of the committee,
he added, carry considerable weight
with Veterans Administrator Bradley.
While no one at VA would commit
himself on the question of cars for
amputees, it is known that several
high-placed officials would like to
see cars given to veterans with spinal
cord injuries, those with amputa-
tions near the hip and those who
have lost part Of both both legs.
The main question, however, 1t
was pointed out. would be where to
draw the line. If the solicitors Office
rules that VA can supply cars under
existing regulations, it was indicated,
it would be left to VA doctors to
decide which veterans are unable to
get around without cars.

Withdrawal, Moscow Says

MOSCOW, Mar. % (P.-With-
drawal of the Red Army from Man
churia has been speeded up by the
arrival of warmer weather, the
army newspaper Red Star said
today.
The commentary said originally
the withdrawal was delayed because
of two Chinese requests that Rus
sian troops remain in Manchuria
longer and then because of serious
winter ground conditions.
The newspaper charged Chinese
reactionaries" with starting a Sian
derous campaign" against the Soviet
Union and said they were seeking
to disturb relations between China
