tract authorization of $29,75O,OOO.
The House cut $1l,l7O,936 from
the cash and S1O,112,5OO from the
contract authority.
THE reduction would have the
effect of eliminating or Of slow
ing down some of the most basic
activities which are essential to
clearing the way for new settle
ment and developments" warne
told the subcommittee.
He said it is important to main
tain proper balance in connec-

The activities are closely inter-
laced" he said. The slowing of

which would lead to magnified eff

Baby 10 End Third Stay
In Hospital in 9 Weeks

Nine-week- James j. Lene-
han. jr., was going home from a
hospital for the third time today.
Only three days ago the 1912
pound infant underwent a hernia
operation at Georgetown Hospital.
DR.. Paul c. Herman found the
appendix in the hernial sac, and
removed that, too.
IT saw my baby afterward and
he was smiling brightly" said Mrs.
James j. Lenehan, ST., 81. of 1924
South Thirty street, Ar
lington. You never could tell
that he'd just had an operation"
There is nothing particularly
rare about such an operation, al
though the appendix double
header is somewhat different, DR..
Herman said.
1.-THE thing that might be in
teresting to parents is the knowl-
edge that operations on infants
involves a minimum of risk. The
baby was 8 weeks old and I am
SO. I'd say the element of risk
in an operation would be about
the same for both of us"
Born three weeks premature,
baby James weighed 51a pounds.
Three weeks later he strangAed
while eating. A rescue squad took
him to Children's Hospital for a
couple of days.
Born at George Washington
