9 Nations Reported :
Cautioning Nehru on
Violence in India
BY The A.seeioied Press

NEW DELHI. India. Aug. z.
- Reliable diplomatic sources
said today at least nine nations
have expressed their "deep con-
Germ" to Prime Minister Nehru's
government that attempts to
force a merger of Portuguese IN
dia with India would result in
violence and bloodshed.
An official Indian spokesman
said that only two formal notes
have been received at the For
eign Office on the question of
Portuguese India - from the
United Kingdom and Brazil. But,
he added, Representatives of
several other nations have called
to express their views"
It is understood the majority
of these warned India that use
of violence against Portuguese
territory, such as occurred in the
attacks by liberation forces"
against isolated Portuguese en-
claves, violated midas frequent
ly expressed principles of peace
and non-violence.
Refugees fleeing from tn e
troubled Portuguese Indian en-
clave of Goa said last night
Portuguese police recently killed
eight Goans for taking part in a
liberation rally.
The refugees, arriving at the
Indian military frontier town of
Belgium, said panic spread
through the Goan community
with the recent arrival of three
Portuguese warships. The ships
moved in after Indian National
lists took over several other settle
mentS in Portuguese India.
The group fled from Goa, 100
miles south of Bpmbay, to seek
haven on Indian soil after re-
ports spread that Nationalist

The three Democratic con-
ferees who did not sign the re-

at least one of them, Colorado

Both Senators Johnson and
Anderson said they had not
made up their minds definitely
about the conference report, but
indicated they were not satisfied
with it. They disclosed they
were seeking additional legal adj
vice as to whether the patent
compromise would Safeguard"

On the other side Representa-
tive Cole, Republican. of New
York, co-sponsor of the bill, and
others hold that compulsory

unconstitutional and any such
provision in the bill would lead
to all sorts of legal troubles.
Mr.. Cole pointed to the pro-
vision in the bill which would
give the court the power to
order sharing of patents if they
found the patent was being used
for monopoly purposes.

was included in one board of
guardians but he refused to act
and demanded the return of the
children to his care.
Confused by the multiplicity
of schemes that Showered upon
them, gradual rift took place
between the father and the ply
sician. Several lawsuits were
launched but none ever reached
the courts.
An agreement at last was
reached under which Mr.. Dionne
acted as guardian and DR.. Dafoe
withdrew as a guardian and
served only as physician. FL
nally, the father was given en-
tire control, subject to the super
vision of the Ontario guardian of
minor children which acts in
all children's estates.

CALLANDER, Ontario, Aug. Z.
The Dionne quintuplets, born
in an isolated Ontario farmhouse
20 years ago. amazed the world
by living through their child
hood.
For all their 20 years the
quintuplets lived closely inte-
grated lives until Marie, the
smallest and most delicate.
broke the pattern by entering
the convent to become nun last
November. Emile. now taken by
death, was the second smallest
of the almost identical sisters at
birth.
They had lived together first
in their fathers farmhouse, then
the Dafoe nursery and finally
in the $4,000 Dionne home that
their profits made possible.
They slept. ate. played and
studied together.
Scientists called them the
most nearly identical group they
had ever studied. They were so
much alike that there was little
difference in their fingerprints.
Nursed by DIR. Dafoe.
Although all were near death
several times in the early months
of their lives, DR.. Allan Dafoe.
the country doctor who bundled
them up in improvised incuba-
tors at birth, nursed them
through infancy.
Despite droves of tourists who
| hocked down the sandy road
to the Dionne home to see the
amazing infants and despite
years of bitter controversy over
their guardianship, the quintup-
lets led serene lives.
Their first days. however. were
anything. but serene. When DR..
Dafoe arrived at the Dionne
farmhouse on May %, 1884, to
attend their birth, two of them
no one knows which--already
had been born. He delivered
three more and baptized them
all, even though he was a Prot
estant. because he believed they
| could not live.

CUNTS Survival as Babies
Triumph for Country Doctor

A week after their birth they
weighed only 10 pounds 2H
ounces together. Their arms
and legs were no bigger than
adult fingers.
Crisis after crisis appeared in
the first three months of the
babies lives and each time it
seemed death would take. them.
With Red Cross and government
help DR.. Dafoe rushed construc-
ton of a separate nursery for
them.
Drew on Common Sense.
Unschooled in the latest
methods of child care, the doc
tor was overwhelmed by SUCCESS
tionS from scientists and pedia-
tricians. Enough of these came
in, he once said with a chuckle,
to kill 100 babies.
Drawing upon a store of COM
mon sense in choosing the prop
er measures. he made many I'M
canny decisions that caused him
to be acclaimed the babies Sa-
vior. He won fame along with
the quintuplets, and died at the
age of go in 1913.
Along with the fight for life
there was from the start the
fight for control of the five babies
so nique in medical annals.
They were less than eight
hours old when their potential
money value was realized by a
Chicago promoter who wanted
to exhibit them at the Century
of Progress fair in Chicago.
The father. to whom the care
of SO many children seemed a
heavy burden, signed a con-
tract involving $4,000. but the
i contract never was carried out
because it included a clause that
required DR.. Dafoe's approval.
A similar effort was made to
place the quintuplets on exhibit
ton at the New York Worlds
Fair.
Series Of Guardianship.
These episodes caused the first
of a series of guardianships to
be set over the quintuplets In
1884, and later they were made

 Notes
By Marylou Ridout


 It was not long ago that we were laborously planting vege- tables, then came the never-end- ing task of weedirg and now we have, due to our untiring efforts, some fine vegetables. The soil, weather. and you have each done your part as far as growth of those vegetables are concerned; but now it is up to you-and you only-the gatherer and chief chef, not to undue what has been done. There's a commercial can- ner who has pictures in their ad- vertising of the men in the gar dens who are actually running to gather the vegetables, and run ming to the house where the vege- tables will be properly processed. You have seen garden fresh" often on frozen or canned vege- tables and properly correct. Vege- tables should be gathered in small enough amounts so they will not be permitted ito stand and wait thus losing nutritive value as we'll as crispness and character. We'll you say, cold water and cool re- frigerator temperatures will re- vive the limp ones. Crispness may be restored, but not nutritive val ue. Whiting indicates loss of vita min C. Soaking of vegetables, previous to cooking, tend to trans fer soluble mineral salts from the vegetables to water. Washing leafy vegetables should be done quickly. Not too cold water is recommended for first washing. It will loosen dirt and sand easily. If additional washing is needed, then have the colder water.
 It is not economical to throw away the large outer leaves. Sep arate these, and put in kettle and begin cooking them, then add the smaller more tender leaves.
 Fresh garden vegetables should be cooked in the smallest amount of water possible. Leafy vege- tables have enough water inside and absorbed on the outside, that no additional water needs to be added if low heat is used at be- ginning of cooking perior, until water is given a chance to leech out and form cooking water. Cook vegetables in smallest amount of water possible, cook only until tender If vegetables requires additional water to cook, add vegetables to boiling water. Remember, all the pre- vious back breaking planting, hoeing, and wedding you did, now don't ruin all your previous efforts by overcooking the vege- tables. Some leafy vegetables take on a disagreeable color, flavor and odor if overcooked. It's no wonder children often hate cooked vegetables.
 It's easy enough to be compli- mented on cake or a sweet de- ssert, but how many times have your family members requested at the table, More Vegetables, Please"-such a quotation brings to mind the Extension bulletin
