Woman-like enough to conceal
her age. Argentina's Who's Who
listed her birth date as May 7,
1922. but she was believed to be
three years older than that.
A poor. untutored provincial
girl whose romance blossomed
into political power, she was. a
real-life Cinderella for millions
of workers. nursing mothers and
hovel-dwellers whose adulation
propelled her calculating star.
Her soaring rise was cut short
last fall by an illness described
by her doctors as acute anemia.
On November s she underwent a
major operation after an exami-
nation by an eminent cancer and
tumor specialist, DR.. George Pack
of New York.
The specific condition that
made the operation necessary was
never announced and the same
mystery surrounded it that at
tached to many phases of her
career.
Mrs. Peron resumed her public
appearances in February, but her
heavy program of activities never
was fully resumed.
Prepared for Bad News.
Since June 20 the public had
been prepared for bad news. Then
the Ministry of Education re-
ouested all teachers and pupils to
pray for her recovery.
On July 8, a government
spokesman announced that her
condition was unsatisfactory and
disclosed she had been ordered
to take a complete rest.
The PeroniSta- dominated House

Steel Pay and Price
Increase Too High,
Wilson Declares
By the Associaied Press

NEW YORK, July 26.-The
New York Times quoted Charles
E. Wilson, former defense mobi-
lizer. as saying both wage and
price rises in the steel settlement
are too high.
The Times says Mr.. Wilson also
criticized President Truman for
remaining quiet about the drastic
impact on defense needs while
the strike was at its height"
Mr.. Wilson, who resigned as
mobiliZer March 80 in a dispute
over how the steel case should
be settled. was quoted as saying:
''It's a strange thing but just
before the strike, during my own
time in Washington, everyone
talked of the great need to stave
off the Russian threat. Until the
last few days there was very little
talk by the administration of the
terrific loss of defense material.
Why was it suddenly badly
needed?"
The settlement which sent the
Nations striking CIO Steelwork-
ers back to work permitted a
price rise of $500 a ton and gave
the workers Is cents more an
hour, plus fringe benefits totaling
5.4 cent.
Previous wages averaged $1.88
an hour.
Mr.. Wilson called the settlement
"terrlflcally inf1ationary" and said
it would mean that the economy
and the people will have to pay
for it," the newspaper said.
He predicted that the impact
Iof the strike and settlement will
last a long time" and that other
unions would "have to catch up."

Cot Attacks Cobra
Thut Missed Woman

When Mrs. c. Seaman walked
into her kitchen at Aberdeen,
South Africa. the other day a
yellow cobra struck at her and
missed. AS it slithered by, her
cat came in, rushed at the snake
and bit it four times, meanwhile
lodging its fangs.
Mrs. Seaman's shrieks brought
her husband who killed the snake,
but for some hours afterward the
cats hair bristled and it attacked
any stranger entering the house.

Members Resolved
To Common Purpose

And I believe that we have
come to respect each others
views and to recognize the fact
that perhaps the very greatness
of this Democratic Party of ours
lies in the fact that it is made
up of people from all sections
of the country. with greatly di-
vergent views which they are
able-in great conventions like
this-to resolve to a common
purpose.
AS many of you may know, I
was a member of the Resolu-
tions Committee, a member of
the pre-convention Platform
Committee and a member of
the drafting subcommittee of
our platform. I know something
OF the fights that we had there.
I know something of the dis
satisfaction on the part of many
Il might even say of all-with
reference to this part or that
part or some part of the plat
form, calling for a word here or
a word there. But through the
long hours and long nights we
sat and reasoned with one an
other until we came out with a
platform upon which we can all
stand, and upon which we can
go throughout the country and
win in November.

Gov. Stevenson: Mr.. Chair

Truman Sees Ticket
As Made 10 Order
And Sure 10 Win
By Joseph A. Fox
Stor Stoff Correspondent

KANSAS CITY, July 26-Presi-
dent Truman got a ticket that
was made to order today so far
as he was concerned when the
Democrats nominated Senator
Sparkman of Alabama as the
vice presidential running mate
for Gov. Adlia Stevenson of nli-
nOiS.
The President earlier had spok-
en- highly of the 52-year- Ala
baman. whose selection hit a fine
middle course in his estimation
between a radical of either
Northern or Southern Democratic
persuasion.
While Mr.. Truman has dis
claimed any participation in the
selection of a Vice President, OBJ
servers commented on the fact
that Senator Sparkman's namel
had only entered speculation inI
the last few days. and undounted-
ly had been brought up as Mr..
Truman talked to Gov. Stevenson
and other party leaders in Chi
cago early today.
Olive Branch to South.
So far as the President was con-
cerned, it was believed, the Spark
man selection had two principal
qualities that appealed. The Ala
baman gave the ticket a mature
balance for one thing, and it also
was an olive branch to a State
that went Dixiecrat in 1948.
There was still another reason
that may have figured in the cal
culatlons. Alabama was one OF |
the Southern States that ended
up in the Democratic column in
1928 when the nomination of Gov.
AL Smith of New York split the
party.
Its winning ticket. That's
all I care about. You watch and
see," the President told newsmen
who talked to him here as he
arrived from Chicago in mid
morning after making a bristling
speech to the Democratic National
Convention predicting victory in l.
November.
Planning to remain at his home
in nearby Independence until he
casts his vote in the Missouri
primary, August 5, the President
acted like a man who didn't have !
a care in the world. This same
spirit was reflected by Mrs. Tru-
man. i
Interested in Primary.
That was an acid test in the ,
opinion of many Democrats who ,
expressed their opinion-but loud
in the JuSt-concluded Chicago i
meeting.
The President spent a quiet day il
at his Independence home after
coming back for the first time (
since Christmas. He saw no yisi-
tors.
1t is assumed that tomorrow
he will come downtown to the
headquarters he always main
tainS while here, in the Muehle-
bach Hotel.
The President has a deep in
terest in the August primary, in
which there are hard fights for
the Democratic nominat ton Tor
both senator and governor. Curb
stone opinion is that S. Stuart
Symlngton, former Air Secretary
and head of the reconstruction
Finance Corp. has an edge for
the senatorial place over State ,
Attorney General J. E. Taylor,
an old party associate whom
President Truman is backing
The Symington forces are claim
ing a majority of $4,000.
The gubernatorial struggle has
evoked no expression from the
President.
MI. Truman is expected to go
out during the day to the family
home in GrandvieW.

The Peruvian
First Lady
Helps Poor

In the mountainous country of
Peru many housewives are sitting
today busily operating sewing ma
chimes. The fact that they now
have them to operate is thanks
largely to Sonora de Odria. the
wife Of the President of Peru.
Sonora de Odria, who is now
visiting in Washington, organized
a large charity fund in her coun-
try, which among other things re-
deemed the sewing machines
which many poor families had
been forced to take to a pawn
shop.
The sewing machine project is
one Of the more unusual of sew
eral programs carried on by the
large charitable group, known as
Central de ASiStencia Social, or
ganization Of which Sonora de
Odria sparked shortly after her
husband was elected president in
1948. The wives Of other govern
ment officials also have been very
active in the society.
Funds are all contributed from

ones nearby home. The home
last Saturday was Lilac Hill where
Miss Mamie entertained exhibit

the last class.

their usual color to the show but
not many of them dared the g.

Merrill Smith and his family used
