Progress in Early Diagnosis
OF Cerebral Palsy Reported

Hopkins University, Baltimore.
DR.. Corner spoke before a group
of United Cerebral Palsy officials
at the National Institute Of
Health in Bethesda, Md. 81
Perhaps the most promising
research attack" DR.. Corner
said, would be the investigation
Of anoxia as a causation of cere.I
bral palsy" -
A new device developed by DR.
Corner was said to be able to-
record an unborn infants heart
beat continuously. Such a de-
vice would enable doctors ins'
stantly to determine whether
there might be a lack of oxygen
in the infants blood stream. -
If such were the case, doctors
could perform ceaSarian de-
livery and supply the infant with
sufficient oxygen, reducing the.
danger of nerve tissue damage.
One way to learn more about,
cerebral palsy, DR.. Corner said,
would be to encourage all hos
pitals to document obstetrical,
and birth records much more
completely, 'if the causes of
cerebral palsy are to be de-
termined and prevented"
DR.. Corners announcement
came on the second day of q.
three-day convention of dele.

Palsy Association in the May

awarded a $1,000 prize and the.
United Cerebral Palsy-Max

ways to measure the flow of blood

are of fundamental Importance

Onossis Accused Of Signing
Contract With VANISHING Ink
Greek Shipowner
Sued in Paris in
Arubiun Oil Deal

PARIS, Nov. 20 (NANA).-
Aristotle Socrates Onassis, the
Greek born shipowner who al
ready was faced by the charge
his whaling ships invaded Pc
ruvian waters, today was con-
fronted by a new accusation,
this one involving a contract
allegedly signed with vanishing
ink.
Spyridon Catapodis, a busi-
nessman, slapped writ on Mr..
Onassis in a Paris court, alleg-
ing fraud. Mr.. Catapodis alleged
that Mr.. Onassis signed his
name in disappearing ink on a
contract involving a $3.50, 900
commission. The contract, Mr..
Catapodis said, was part of the
agreement which Mr.. Onassis
has made to carry Saudi
Arabia's oil in his tankers.
When the ink faded, MIR.
Catapodis declared, Mr.. Onas-
sis agreed to sign another con-
tract but somehow never did.
The case of Peru VS.. Onassis
meanwhile made news on two
fronts.
In London, the British gov
ernment declared itself on Mr..
Onassis' side against Peruvian
claims it controls waters within
200 miles Of its shores. The
British Foreign Office ordered
its ambassador in Lima to de-
mand a reply to an 11-week-
old note demanding that Peru
cancel it's claim and revert to
international waters on the
more usual scale.
One reason for the British
interest was that Lloyds Of Lon
don holds $13 million in insur-
arlce on Onassis' whaling fleet,
five of whose ships were cap
tured by Peruvian gunboats.

Three other whalers evaded pur-
suit and reached Balboa in the
Panama Canal Zone yesterday
Peruvians were reported to-
day to be expressing wide pop
ular support for their govern
ment's seizure action. The Pc
ruvian Foreign Office would say
only that the ships have been
seized and an investigation is
under way.
Meanwhile, in London, Peru's
Ambassador to Britain, DR.. Ric-
ardo Rivera Schneider, told a
news conference the 200-mile
limit had nothing to do with
freedom Of the seas for naviga-
ton, that it was simply to pro-
tect fishing grounds and fishing
banks. ,
He, said whales follow the
Humboldt Current and feed ir
Peruvian waters. He accused the
Onassis fleet of following the
whales to our territorial waters
and trying to catch them with
no consideration for their age
DR.. Rivera said the whales are
disappearing because of this
"abuSe."

marks t$9,520, ,000.0O0) over a

mans carrying much of the H.
nancial load themselves.
Officials Of the National De-
tense Commission predicted that
at least 20 billion marks ($4,-
760,000,000) worth of American
military equipment would be
needed.
The United States Defense De-
partment said earlier that about
$500 million worth Of arms could
begin flowing to West Germany
from the United States once the
rearmament pacts were ratified.
Some spare equipment and sup
plies Of the American forces in
Europe could be turned over to
the Germans on a few days
notice, the department said.

Germany into the Western De-
fense Alliance.
