BY the kssoeioted Press

DETROIT, Aug. 17.-Sally's
blue eyes were aglow with excite
ment.
For the first time In her Z
years she would be able to walk
like other children.
A nerve injury at birth had
caused spastic paralysis. But sur
geons after a series of operations
on her shriveled right leg believed
she would be able to walk.
Yesterday was to have been the
big day. The itching plaster cast
would be removed and she would
walk with a brace.
On Monday her father, Edward
J. Porrett, picked up the brace
from the orthopedic shop of Grace
Hospital. It has been fitted to a
specially made shoe.
He left the wrapped-up brace
in his car when he went to his job.
Upon returning to the parked car,
he discovered the brace was mis-
sing-it had been stolen.
"It's made to order and it will
take. us weeks to get another one"
the father said sorrowfully. Poor
little Sally will have to stay in her

AS reported by the Yugoslav

men were made at an army mass
meeting at Bitelj, close to the
scene Of some Of the fighting in
the Greek civil war.
Sprinkled through the ACCOUNTS

the rebels by Yugoslavia. No
dates were given. Tito early in
