MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Dec.
20.-Purchase of a large tract of
land ip Jefferson County and op-

son and Berkeley Counties were
announced here today by Bethle-
hem Limestone Co., subsidiary
Of Bethlehem Steel Corp.
| An official of the company said
the purchase was made and the

line with it's policy Of acquiring
reserves of metallurgical lime
stone. He emphasized that these
acquisitions do not mean any i'm

The opening in Berkeley Coun-
ty, if the land is purchased, is not
planned for several years, and for
at least probably 20 years in JET

Approximately $50 acres have
already been bought in the Hall
town section of Jefferson County
while options are held on approxi-
mately 400 acres in the same vi

be immoral for her to marry while
Daisy did not.
The incident revived arguments
as to whether Siamese twins are
two persons, or only one. One
such debate occurred in 1929 at
the death of five-months- old
twins who had a common trunk
and one pair of legs. One baby
would cry, while the other did
not.
Medical history tells many in
credible stories of strange beings
who supposedly were born and
lived. But science discounts them.
Such were the dog-boy or pig
eon-boys or the pig man, having
human faces but the bodies or
some limbs of animals or birds.
Probably. say some authorities,
the basis for these reports were
the actual birth of extremely mall
formed infants, born dead or dy-
ing soon after birth.
Meanwhile, science and surgery
are progressing in trying to pre-
vent or overcome the more COM
mon types of defects, one of
these tragic kinds is cerebral
palsy. Many children with cere-
bral palsy are victims of some
event or other which caused dam
age to the brain before birth.
Through present research, there
are Frightening chances forestal-
ling or overcoming this type of
mistake by nature.

By the A.,oeia,ed Pres.

Senator O'Conor, Democrat, of
Maryland. said yesterday the State
Department has cat last" initi-
ated action looking toward the
custer of a woman newspaper
correspondent at the United Ma
tions whom he denounced more
than a year ago as a Soviet Spy
and propagandist.
In a speech to the Senate on
October II, 1854. Senator O'Conor
identified the woman as Miss Mar

and strongly urged her deporta-
ton.
Likely Security Risk"
He told the Senate then that
Miss Instantaneous served the
Soviet military intelligence in
Egypt and elsewhere in the Mid
die East before coming to this
country early in 1947 and since
her arrival here has spread Com
munist propaganda and been in
touch with the Soviet intelligence
network.
At the time, Miss Hitcshman-

I have never had any connection
In any capacity whatever with the
Soviet government" She was in
this country on a Czechoslovakian
diplomatic passport.
A State Department press Off
Ger, Lincoln White, said tonight
the department has opposed the
reconciliation of Miss Hitschman-
nova on grounds that she is a
"likley security risk"
Attacks Long Delay.
In his statement yesterday Sen
ator O'Conor sharply criticized the
State Department for what he
called its long delay in acting on
the case.

of this month, when the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee
went into the question of sub
versive personnel in the United

north between v and w streets.
It is the result OF years of plan
ming to lift the old hospital out
of antiquated buildings and into
modern medical surroundings.
Without public help, both young
and old. the building never would
have been built. In 1946, public
subscription brought $1,33O,OOO

in 1850. the hospital raised
$553, 1858.
Constructed by the Charles H
Tompkins Co., the structure even-
tually will cost about $3.3 million
Building costs were supplemented
in Federal grants available under
the Hill-Burton Act.
From Yesterday to Today
Only a wall separates the new
wing from the old hospital build
ings. Walking from one to the
other you can pass from yesterday
into today.
The new hospital is done in cool
pastel shades. Each floor is paint
ed in different tones. The white
OF most hospitals is missing.
The first floor will house the
executive staff of the hospital, q
hospitality shop, and a cafeteria
One big kitchen will furnish food
for the entire hospital.

Siamese Twin Dies
In South; Can't Be Cul
From Dead Brother
BY the Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Dec. 20. "A wide
eyed, Siamese twin, Joined head
to-head with his dead brother,
died here today before brain sur
geons could try to save his life.
John Edward Flowers. born in
August. died in an operating room
while a team of surgeons clustered
around preparing for the enor-
mously complex separation opera
ton.
That was nine hours after his
head-to-head twin, John L., died
in a Greenwood (Miss.) hospital
this morning. Cause of death was
unknown.
When John L. suddenly died
early today. Greenwood physicians
knew only drastic surgery-similar
to that undergone last week by
Chicago'S Brodie twins - could
save John Edward.
The twins, one with eyes closed
in death, the other crying Justify,
were placed in the back seat of a
highway patrol car. Two nurses
accompanied them on the 145-mile
race to Memphis.
It was the first time the
Flowers twins had left the Green
wood-LeFlore Hospital, where
they were born to Mrs. Maybelle
Flowers. by Cesarean operation, in
early August.
The parents, Roosevelt and
Maybelle Flowers, negroes, live in
Kilmichael. about 40 miles from
Greenwood. They did not &C

No separation attempt had been
planned for the twins. before

were considered too young.
Faced Different Ways.
They were joined extensively at
the top of the head. When lying
on their backs, John Edwards
face was to the right, John LIS
to the left.
John Edward clung tenaciously
to life as the patrol car sped to
Memphis.
He appeared strong when taken
to the hospitals operating room.
He weakened shortly afterward
and died despite attempts to keep
his heart beating.
DR. Richard L. DeSaussure, a
brain specialist, said apparently
the twins had separate brains. but
little if anything else was known.
An autopsy was not ordered.

Rodney was more alert today
than at any time since the opera

little, and played patty-cake with

both have experienced "contin-

hours after the operation.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2O.-The
great drama of the Brodie Siamese
twins is sciences growing success
in correcting natures. mistakes.
Ever since antiquity, nature has
been making cruel errors in fash
ioning new human beings. Nu-
merous things can go wrong in
the prebirth development Of a
child, resulting in various condi-
tions. Siamese twins are one rare
result.
There are other bizarre kinds
of accidents, even two-headed
children or other malformations.
Extremely rare events of that
kind doubtless gave rise to the
legends of centaurs-part man,
part beast-and cyclops with one
huge eye.
| Until lately, medical science
was virtually helpless in attempt
ing to correct or prevent these
or other more common errors and
faults of nature. But now science
is making progress.
The example this week was the
attempt to separate the Brodie
twins, Rodney Dee and Roger Lee,
joined at the tops of their heads.
This kind of separation had never
succeeded before with either twin
surviving. b
L Many Gains Made.
The fact is that until recent
years it could not be attempted
with much real prospect of sue
cess. Unavailable were blood
banks. potent drugs. better an
esthetics and other aids, and ad-
vanced knowledge permitting such
hazardous surgery.
This surgery was a necessary
gamble, at high odds for survival
of both babies at anything re-
sembling normal life.
But science and surgery are
winning successes now in COR
recting other kinds of defects and
faults by nature.
Surgery, for example, is saving
children born with defective
hearts. Club feet, malformed
chests and other conditions are
being corrected every day.
More Is being learned about
how to prevent some of the NAL
formations that can occur in
human babies, while still in the
mothers womb. German measles,
virus disease, has been dis
covered TO be one culprit, and
mothers-to-be can be forewarned
to avoid this disease. For if a
pregnant woman gets German
measles early in pregnancy, the
virus can affect her developing
baby, producing cataracts, heart
defects or other errors.
More Preventive Methods.
The risks of X-rays, disease
agents and faulty nutrition are
becoming understood. Expert
mental science is studying embryos
of tadpoles, chickens, fish and
