An unusual operation by team
of Children's Hospital physicians
was credited yesterday with saw
ing the life of a 7-months-olo
child with an upside down
stomach.
Although the surgical procedure
involved is known to most physi-
clans, the incidence of cases re-
quiring the operation is low, par
ticularly among babies.
In this case, surgeons found the
baby's stomach, small intestine
and part of the large bowel had
forced their way up into the
child's chest cavity through an
unnatural opening in the dia-
phragm In an hour long opera
ton, they were returned to normal
positions and the small opening
was closed by a special suture
technique.

works containing powder or other
explosive composition.
They permit such things as
spsrklers, torches, fountains and
colored lights.
Amendment Outlined.
Under the proposed amendment,
none of these things could be
manufactured, sold, offered for
sale, delivered, stored, discharged,
set off or even possessed by any
one here.
A report by Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Robert F. Kneipp,
chairman of the Regulations Com
mittee, said experience has indi-
Gated that considerable injury and
damage has come around the
Fourth of July period from use
of both the prohibited fireworks
and the so-called "safe and sane"
variety.
A period of about three weeks
around last July 4, he said,
brought 345 complaints about
fireworks to the police depart
ment, each requiring service.
Maryland Law Cited.
Mr.. Kneipp pointed out that
Maryland prohibits the sale of
all fireworks, as does Alexandria,
Va. Arlington permits the So
called "safe and sane" variety,
but an effort is being made now
to tighten up the ordnance there,
he said he was advised.
The proposed amendment would
leave the way open for permitted
displays on approval by the Com
missioners, the Fire Chief and the
Fire Marshal.
1t would not prohibit use of
fireworks by railroads or other
transportation agencies for signal
or illumination purposes, or blank

stomach was upset frequently, and
he was irritable.
X-ray examination showed the
baby's left lung had collapsed
from the pressure of the out-of-
position organs. Because of this
Tommy had difficulty breathing
During frequent crying spells he
turned blue.
Furthermore, his heart had beer
forced out Of position.
A six-inch incision was made
in the baby's left side. and a pof-
ton of one rib removed so thai
chest surgeon could reach into
the cavity and return the organs
to their proper positions.
This type of surgery still is un-
usual but is not considered as
dangerous as formerly.
AS a precaution, Tommy has
been kept in an oxygen tent since
the operation but is to be taken
out today. He takes his formula
without difficulty and should be
ready to go home in 10 days.
Surgeons believe he will live q
normal life and will experience ne
heart or lung trouble.
