| Blind II Years,
Man Stoops Over
| And Sees Aqoin
BY the Assoeiofed Press

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Jan. 13.-
The simple act of STOPPING over
to tie his shoestring was credited
today by a 41-year-old salesman
with helping to restore his sight
after IL years of total blindness.
Foster M. Wilson said that when
he stopped to tie his shoestring
recently he suddenly saw a beam
of light. Then there was a fog
and finally a light haze.
He rushed to the doctors he
said had told him he would never
see again. At first the doctors
said his newly acquired vision was
"a temporary improvement at
best"
However, Mr.. Wilson said, the
improvement continued and now
he has almost 1920 vision with
the aid of thick-lens glasses.
Mr.. Wilson, married and the
father of 18-year-old twins, said
the doctors told him he lost his
sight because portions of his eyes
had become detached. The sud-
den movement of his head when
he stopped over served to weld"
the severed organs.
He plans to continue in his job
as a heating and air-conditioning
salesman, a job obtained for him
by the Cambria County branch Of
the Association for the Blind.

Leukemia is cancer of the

Chronic leukemia, which people

can bring recoverles a second time.
This effect in chronic leukemia
was reported a few months ago.
The new results in acute leuke-
mia were described before the New
York Academy of Medicine in a
meeting devoted to acth and cor
tisone. Acth is a hormone from
the pituitary gland. and cortisone
is made by the adrenal glands.
Another patient with acute
leukemia recovered when given
cortisone, DR.. Pearson's group re-
ported. Three children getting acth
or cortisone died, but in all cases
they were already far gone with
leukemia, they said. So far, acth
hasn't shown any effect against
other forms of cancer.
Only small amounts of the hor-
mones are being made, from O,

mar Manor.
The five men arrested in this
raid we're indicted on charges oil
conspiring with four men at Bar
ber's Newsstand to violate District

Warrant Called Defective.
Judge Tamm last october
granted a motion to suppress the
evidence seized in the raid on the
newsstand in the 400 block OF
Tenth street NV. At that time
however. he upheld the warrant
on which the raid on State Wide
was based.
In his earlier decision Judge
Tamm said the newsstand raid
was based on a defective war
rant, since too much time had
elapsed between the time alleged
gambling violations were observed
and the affidavit describing the
violations was issued. The search
warrant was based on the affi-
davit.
The judge explained at the
time he thought the warrant for
the State Wide raid was good be-
cause of an attached statement
from a telephone company en-
ploye establishing the number of
the State Wide establishment as
the same as that listed In an affl-
davit describing the alleged vio-

Collins applied for a rehearing

hearing the arguments today,
Judge Tamm said he felt he had
been in error in his earlier deci-
sion, that too much time had
elapsed between the alleged vio-
lation and the issuance of the
search warrant and the telephone
company employees affidavit was
not enough to support the war
rant.

day the Nationalists said they hit
IL ships and set waterfront ware
houses afire.
Five ships in the Shanghai
harbor were reported hit by
bombs as was another at the
mouth of the Whangpoo River.
Five others were set afire by straf-
ing fighter planes.

ported crammed with invasion
craft feared headed for the Chu-
san Islands, 100 miles south of
Shanghai. Some 1000 boats rang
