Woman Really
Sees Husband
FOrFmst Time
Wife OF Army
Chaplain Is Saved

From Lo1la BIin1lness

FRANKFURT, Germany R-The
wife of a u. S. Army chaplain
stepped from a plane here and
walked straight into the arms of
her husband, really seeing him"
for the first time.
Chaplain and Mrs. Sam B. Jones
were married Is years ago, but
her eyesight was failing then and
doctors feared she would eventu-
ally go blind. She saw things
through a haze.
Fourteen months ago her hus-
band, now Al, left the United
States for a new post near Munich.
Afterward, Mrs. Jones, 40, had two
successful eye operations at Wash
ington'S Walter Reed Hospital.
Sight Nearly Perfect
Her eyesight was almost perfect
as she stepped oft of the plane
from New York yesterday. She
kissed her husband, and then told
reporters:
ITS wonderful to see him again
Ito really see him."
81 can see things now" she said,
'as I've never seen them before.
Every day experience a new
thrill"
During the operations at Walter
Reed, two unchanged corneas,
one from sergeant and the other
from q colonel, were transplanted
in her eyes.
The sergeant and the colonel
each have a good eye left, and
Mrs. Jones says she corresponds
with them.
Tells OF Gifts
She said each had to give up an
eye because of disease that left
the cornea untouched.
She identified the sergeant as
M. Sgt. Roy Kilburn (address un-
availabIe), but declined to name
the colonel.
The chaplain, a major whose
home address il Paducah, KY,
was overjoyed.
"We celebrate out 18th wedding
anniversary on Wednesday" he
said. ''Pm looking forward to see
ing Europe with her."
Mrs. Jones is the former CIonelle
Graves of Knoxville, Tenn. Her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. H.
Graves, live at Leesburg, Fla.

Dulles Fayors

Island Defense
Nationalist-HeId
Islands Seen As

Part o. FOrnaosa

WASHINGTON IN Secretary Of
State Dulles said today American
forces would be justified in defend
ing some Eationalist.held islands
between Formosa and the Chinese
mainland from any Communist at
tack.
Dulles told a news conference it
would be up to American military
leaders to decide which islands in
addition to Formosa they want to
defend as part of their overall
strategy for aiding the Chinese
Nationalist stronghold.
Dulles spoke in the face of talk
by Peiping of CELEBRATING" the
island of Formosa, now held by
Chang Kai-shek and the Chinese
Nationalist. U. S. leaders have
been inclined to discount the Pei
ping talk.
likes Promise
President Eisenhower already is
on record as saying the U. S. It'll
Fleet would protect FormoSa from
a Red attack. Dulles appeared to
be extending this line of reasoning
by including some of the smaller
Chiang-held islands near Formosa.
Dulles said the basic instruction
to the 7th Fleet is to defend For
mosa against any Red Chinese at
tack but noted there are a number
of other islands held by Chang
and said defending some of these
may be so intimately connected
with the defense of Formosa that
the military would be justified in
defending them.
In talking about Europe, Dulles
told newsmen he deeply regrets
Frances unwillingness to agree
with five other Western European
countries on the European army
plan. But he said he has not given
up hope France will ratify the Eu-
ropean army agreement when sit
confronts the ultimate decision. "

general officers Of the air force
asked him to resign to calm d
tense political and military situa-
ton. Today 50 general officers Of
the army joined in the demand for
Vargas custer.
The army officers petition was
presented to Vargas this morning
at Gazette Palace. It was announced
the president, who came to power
in 1880 and ruled all but five years
since then, had agreed to ask con-
gress for 4 leave Of absence. Four
hours later he was dead.
JoaO Cafe Filho, vice president
since 1851, was in line to succeed
Vargas.
The crisis that brought Vargas
custer and death began Aug. with
the Staying Of an air force major,
Ruben Var, during an attempt to
assassinate Carlos LaCerda, an
anti-Vargas editor. The Staying
aroused widespread indignation in
both the military and the press.
This grew when it was discovered
that members Of Vargas personal
body guard were involved. Vargas
dissolved the guard.
Anii-VaFgas RIots
The crisis broke into rioting Aug.
II following 4 mass for Maj. Var.
Two persons were injured and
campaign posters for Vargas Bra
lillian Labor Party (PTBJ were
torn down.
vargas QUIT" shouted the mob.
The military acted quickly to
prevent further disturbances. The
army, navy and air force issued
q joint declaration pledging their
support Of the constitution.
Meantime the air force and po-
lice arrested Climerio Eurides de
Almeida, member Of the guard,
and Jose Antonio Soares, ; palace
employe as involved in the La
Cerda plot. They also seized Joao
Alcino de Nascimento, as the al
legged trigger man.
This situation arose = i time.
Brazil was undergoing severe
economic stress. Last week the
price Of coffee was forced down,
in terms Of American dollars, and
there have been predictions Of fur
Their blows against Brazilian cur
rency.
The Final Push
The air force, with Vargas per-
mission, obtained the personal pa
pers Of Gregorio Fortunate, husky
former head Of the disbanded pres
idential guard, and these papers
may have provided material for
the final push against Vargas.
The papers, widely published,
purpOrted to show influence ped
ding by Fortunate. This increased
the troubles for the government
already under attack for alleged
corruption.
New demands for Vargas resig-
nation were made at an Aeronaut-
zeal Club meeting Saturday. Air
force general officers conferred 10
hours Sunday and prepared a note
saying Vargas resignation was the
only solution for the crisis.
