Sally is a quiet, thin-almost ca =
daverous-11-year-old whose great
est interest was the welfare of the
tots on her ward in Children's
Hospital. She especially liked to
serve their food. But for months,
Sally herself has eaten no more
than an infant.
Doctors can find nothing wrong
physically with the intelligent child.
Their job has been to keep her
alive while psychiatrists probed for
TIE key to the strange mental block
that won't allow Sally to eat.
So far they have found some
hints. But treatment is going to be
a long-range project, probably a
matter of years. according to doc
tors at the hospital.
Sally-her parents didn't want her
real name to be used-this week was
winging her way overseas, back to
her home where about 18 months ago
she began to lose what had been a
healthy appetite. It became worse
when she came with her parents to
this country. Last May, she COL
lapsed from malnutrition and en-
tered Children's.
Wants to Live.
Sally knows people must eat to
live. And she wants to live, her
doctors say. But with the first
mouthful Of food, she complains of
a feeling Of fullness in her stomach.
To keep her alive. doctors have
fed her through a tube directly to
her stomach and supplemented this
with ntravenous solutions. Their
aim has been to keep her weight
above so pounds.
She was put into a hypnotic state
with drugs and fed. But after a
while, she learned what was being
done and lost the food. For the last
several weeks, Sally has been drink
ing about a quart of milk a day
just about what baby would take

soon will be published in the hos

District Budget

Measure in Congress
By Don S. Worren

Speed and concise discussion of
individual fund requests are the
order of the day in the examination
of the Districts $103, 400 900 budget
by the House Appropriations SUBJ
committee, headed by Representa-
tive Bates, Democrat, of Kentucky.
The group examined Police and
Fire Department items yesterday
morning, then ran through outlays
proposed for a dozen other city
agencies during the afternoon.
The requests are taken up item by
Item, but officials say Chairman
Bates Is holding the testimony and
examination strictly to the pending
budget subjects and not allowing ex-
tensive testimony on extraneous
subjects.
While the closed hearings may be
concluded by the end of next week,
the subcommittee may not rush the
1850 supply bill to the House floor.
There are indications the bill may
be withheld for reasonable period
to give the House District Commit
tee a chance to act on the proposed
new tax bill for the city.
Chairman Smith of the Fiscal
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee and Chairman Hunt of
the companion group of the Senate
District Committee, already are
planning joint session on Wednes-
day.
The Commissioners, with strong
support in both the House and SEN
ate, are proposing per cent re-
tail sales tax, exempting medicines
and food for home consumption to
overcome the anticipated budget
deficit of at least 100000. Rep
resentat!ve Smith, Democrat, of
Virginia already has introduced a
bill to make this plan effective May
/. The bill also would raise the ex-
enption for the Districts personal
income tax to $1,000.
The Appropriations Subcommit-
tee yesterday took testimony on the
1850 budget requests of the proba-
tion system, register of wills and
numerous agencies under the En-
gineer Department, including streets
and bridges, trees and parkings, in

The Senate today overwhelm-
ingly defeated a Republican move

tionalize basic industries. The
vote was 81 to 20.
The willingness of the opposi-
ton to vote within half an hour

couraged leaders to hope for final

nightfall.
Eighteen Republicans joined
with A Democrats to swamp the
latest effort to amend the bill.
Only two Democrats joined Is
other Republicans in support of
the amendment.

amendment would have prevented

dollars from being used directly or

schooner wallowing in the ocean
10 miles off Charleston, S. c., last
Tuesday.
Earlier information pieced to-

lively identified the schooner as

Parrot of Salem, Mass, set sail
from the Bahamas April l. Mr..
Parrot was accompanied by his
wife and two children, David, 4,
and Steven. /.

four cutters began an intensive
search of East Coast waters at
dawn. The hunt was spurred by
speculation that Mr.. Parrot and
his wife may have been washed
overheard, leaving the two chill
dren locked in the cabin below
decks.
But at Wrightsville Beach, N. c.,
Robert Ruley. a member Of the
crew of the schooner Windfall.
said 1t might have been the vessel
sighted by the tanker. He said all
members of the crew were seasick
below decks and would not have
sighted the tanker or heard blasts
of it's whistle.
Two Masted Schooner.
The Windfall arrived here last
night and left this morning for
Morehead City. N. c. The Wind
fall is a 56-foot, two-masted
schooner painted white. 1t is
skippered by w. c. Norton Of
Newport, R. I.
Mr.. Ruley said the Windfall ap-
parently resembled the Keewatin
and that a description given by
the tanker tailed with conditions
aboard the Windfall at the ap-
proximate time of the sighting.
The schooner's jib sails were
broken and trailing in the water,
Mr.. Ruley told the Coast Guard.
The tanker concluded the wal
lowing vessel had been abandoned
after drawing alongside and blast
ing it's whistle. but drawing no
response.
Coast Guard officials said they
were not entirely convinced the
schooner was the Windfall.
Description Tailed.
The tanker reported the
schooner drifting out of control
and apparently abandoned. with
sails dropping and rigging tangled.
A description of the vessel OBJ
tanned later from the tanker was
found to tally with the "Kee-
watin's" appearance.
Coast Guard officials feared Mr..
Parrot and his wife might have
been swept overheard in storm
after locking the children below
for safety.
In preparation for the aerial
search-described as the most in
tensive in many months-Coast
Guard planes from Maine to
Florida converged last night at
Elizabeth City. N. C. Army, Navy
and Air Force planes also were
alerted.
Brother Raises Fears.
Possibility that the two chill
dren may be imprisoned aboard
the crewless schooner was first
raised by Mr.. Parrots brother,
Hadley Parrot of Baltimore.
He said that during rough
weather, Mr.. Parrot customarily
locked the children in the cabin
to protect them in case he and
his wife were lost.
This practice was described by
N. w. Rice of Gloucester. Mass,
who returned home from Nassau
late yesterday. He said he knew
the Parrot family and expressed
belief the two children may be
found alive II the Keewatin still
is afloat.
He said the children were kept
below deck In stormy weather.
and that the baby was quartered
in a small, closet-like stateroom.
| Probability that the Keewatin
ran into heavy seas was brought
out by Capt. Charles F. Hansel,
who arrived at Charleston yester-
day aboard the yacht Capella.
| He told the Coast Guard he
left Nassau one day after the
Keewatin sailed and encountered
a heavy blow of Great Bahama
Bank that lasted three days.
Capt. Hansel said Mr.. Parrot
planned a course to Cape Charles,
Va, with a stop at Great Abaco
