DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 10.--Hu-
bert Harris died early today,
ending a week-long fight to keep
blood flowing through his veins
while doctors tried to find q way
to keep it there.
More than 100 pints Of blood
had been pumped In a steady
stream into the 47-year-old
manufacturer, bleeding every
where" from a mysterious all
ment.
An autopsy was being per-
formed to find the exact cause
Of death.
'It could have been caused by
a heart ailment." said Mr.. Har-
ris' physician, DIR. John EN-
inert. His heart had been under
a great strain. Or 1t could have
been from massive hemor-
rhage."
Doctors said Mr.. Harris had
received more blood transfusions
conSecutlvely than any other
known person.
Mr.. Harris began losing blood
through the intestinal tract last
Monday night. Two surgical OPP
erations failed to find the cause
of the bleeding.
H was conscious until his
death.
Mr. Harris literally lay in a
pool of blood throughout his
ordeal.

wherever he was given a hypo,

The exact number Of pints OF
blood given Mr.. Harris was being
checked. Wadley Blood Center,
which processed the hundreds
of volunteer donors. said 1t was
an estimated 1853 through last
night.
DR.. Emmert said this figure
might be a few pints too high.
Il think maybe it was around
160," he said.
Surgeons performed a five-
hour exploratory operation last
night.
DR.. Emmert said they found
"diffused type bleeding from
multiple areas prohibiting a sur
gical method OF correcting" the
bleeding.
Only one in about 100 persons
has his rare, B-negative type
blood and doctors, running out
of it at times last week, had to
give Mr.. Harris O-negative and
B-positive types.
Mr.. Harris was given IL pints
of blood about the normal per-
sons blood supply-during last
nights operation.

national travel and interna-
tional trade fairs as other fac
tors making for more profitable
trade relationships.
Mr.. Eisenhower also hit once
more the 'man-made barriers
to free and expanded trade, and
pointed to the need OF greater
currency convertibility.
The President made a strong
bid for farm backing for his
program, ticking off the size OF
| the exports of wheat, cotton and
tobacco. and declaring that INC
single group within America has
q greater stake in a healthy and
expanding foreign trade than the
farmers"
Again, too, he got back or
the trade, not aid" theme. de-
claring that mutually advan-
tageous trade relationships are
not only profitable. but they are
also more binding and more en-
during than costly grants and
other forms of aid"
Certain to encounter trouble In
both Democratic and Republi-
can Parties where local inter-
ests clash with the foreign trade
idea, the President plainly sought
to ease the opposition by argu-
ing that his recommendation
are moderate" and that the
program will be approached
thoughtfully.
Radical or sudden tariff re.
ductions would not be to the
interest of the United States
and would not accomplish the
goal we seek" he said.

Woman Who Stole
Two Children Faces
New Kidnap Hearing

A carnival dancer who abduct-
ed two Washington children IN
1858, faced arraignment in Los
Angeles today on q Federal
charge in the kidnapping OF a
third child.
She is Mrs. Barbara Lee Col
Inns, alias Barbara Lee Grimm.
81, arrested by the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation late Satur-
day in a trailer camp near the
California city, the Associated
Press reported.
Found with her was Dexel
Waymond Brock, 8. reported
missing from his Live Oak, Fla.
home, two months ago.
On October 13, 1853, Mrs. Col
Inns was sentenced in New York
to a year in prison in connection
with the abduction five months
before Of two children from their
Washington home.
Mrs. Collins--then known as
Mrs. Grimm-told police she
took the children because she
felt sorry for them.
A grand jury indicted her on
eight counts, including four
counts of kidnapping. However.
she was permitted to plead guilty
to a lesser count of endangering
the health and life Of Diane
Bradford. The youngsters later
were placed in the care of an
institution.
Asked in Los Angeles about
the 1858 abduction and that of
the Brock boy. Mrs. Collins said:
"I thought I could take care
of the children better than the
parents themselves"
News Ends Anxiety.
The boy found in Los Angeles
Saturday night is the son by a
former.marriage of Mrs. Selden
Gin of Live Oak. Mrs. Gill said
yesterday she isn't exactly mad"
at the carnival dancer, but Is
anxious for the return of her
son.
The FBI said Mrs. Collins has
a husband. John L. Collins, who
lives in San Diego, Calf, and
that she visited him there New
Years eve.

heartedly" approved of the need
for the hospital. He said the
need had been firmly" estab-
lished.
DR.. Hussey urged "that we &c
ahead with construction"
Camalier Backs Proposal.
Commissioner Camalier, who
favors construction, told Com
missioner Spencer and Col. T. M
Nosek, assistant engineer COM
missioner, that "cold statistics
are not the controlling factor
when dealing with a city-wide
problem"
"These experts (the doctors
who favored construction) will
show that tuberculosis is an un-
conquered killer in this COM
munity-that it cannot be wiped
out by existing facilities"
The 300-bed hospital grew
out of a 1852 conference of med
ical leaders and civic representa-
tives on the tuberculosis prob
lem.
Washington has a higher per-
centage of deaths from tuber-
culosis than any State-outside
of Arizona--and ranks No. 2 in
mortality rates among cities ir
its population group. The dis
eases cost to the community
has been set at $5.5 million.

lie Works program. the hospita

rather than Isl.
Appellate Court Shortage.
In the Courts OF Appeals. too.
the case load outdistanced the
Judges. In 1900. there were 20
appellate judges with a case
load of 38 per judge. In 1854.
there were So appellate judges
with a case load of 81 each. If
the number of judges had in
creased as fast as the case load.
there would now be 81 appellate
judgeships rather than SO.
2. The over-conServatism Of
| the Judicial Conference of the
United States in recommending
new judgeships. This group of
judges has recommended Judge
ships only after the case load
has begun to overwhelm rather
than at the first sign of trouble.
| 3. Delays in getting the new
judgeships once they are rec
commended. Since 1945, Congress
has created 63, Of which 81 were
recommended by the judicial
Conference. But of those 81, only
six were created during the year
in which the recommendation
was made: % not until the fol-
lowing year, nine not until two
years later. IL not until three
years later, four not until four
| years later and three not until
I five years later. u
There are delays in creating
the judgeShips. delays in select
ing the appointees and some-
times delays in confirmation.
Thus, by the time the judge
| takes his place on the bench. the
case load which prompted the
recommendation for the new
judgeship has mounted to the
| point where another judge is
needed.
Budgets Reduced.
4. Annual cuts in the budget
! for the Federal courts. Typical of
the Gripping cuts in the 1855
budget was the provision of staff
salaries for only Is new judges
although 80 new judgeships were
created.
The million dollar cut in the
budget for this fiscal year
prompted the Director of the
Administrative Office of the
United States Courts to notify
the judges to:
Avoid temporary extra help
such as those necessary to meet
peak workloads.
Make no appointments Of per-
sonnel until leave payments of
the former employe had expired.
Avoid employing substitutes
for regular employees i'll or on va
cation.
Travel funds were cut. SO were
funds for legal publications.
The cuts hit at courts already
understaffed in the clerks and
probation offices. With a high
rate of turnover in the clerks
Offices because of low salaries,
inexperienced help must handle
vital legal papers. With too few
probation officers, sentencing Is
sometimes delayed for a month
or more to await pre-sentence
investigations. Practitioners in
need of much attention to keep
from sliding back into crime may
get no more than an hours help
a month from their probation
officers.
Legislators, attorneys and
| judges backing the move to have
| the Chief Justice address the
Congress believe these facts
should be made known to all the
legislators and to the people.

year. The time from filing the
complaint in the lower court to

was 21.4 months.
Reasons Analysed.
What causes these delays in
the disposition of cases? Some
observers cite the judges who fail
to carry their fair share of the
load, scorn modern time-saving
methods or take long summer
vacations. Court figures show
however. that more cases were
disposed of per Judge last year
than in any year since l947 and
the total disposition of cases was
the highest since 1888.
But justice still is delayed
These factors are cited:
l. The increase in the number
of judges has failed to match the
increase in the case load. In 1900
the case load per Judge was 236
In 1854, the case load per judge
was 403.
While the number of cases
increased fourfold, the number
Of judgeships was a little more

Mccarthy Unit Urges
Law Banning Reds
From Defense Plants
By Cecil HoIIond

The Senate Investigating sub
committee headed by Senator
Mccarthy reported to the Senate
today there Is "a clear and pres
ent danger" in Communists em-
ployed in defense plants and
called for legislation to speed
their removal.
"The necessity for the removal
Of Communists from defense
facilities is Of paramount i'm
portance to the security Of the
United States because Of possible
espionage and possible sabo-
tage," the report declared.
The report, one of the last to
be submitted by Senator Nc
Carthy as chairman Of the in
vestigating subcommittee. was
based on a series Of hearings
conducted during the past year.
Peress Meeting Put or.
Meanwhile, an unexpected trip
by Senator Mccarthy has put on
at least until Wednesday-and
probably until Democrats take
control of the subcommittee he
heads-any further investigation
of DR.. Irving Peress' discharge
from the Army.
Senator Mccarthy had called
a special meeting of the Senate
Investigating subcommittee for
this morning, saying he would
demand further testimony from
Army officials about who was re-
sponsible for the promotion to
major and honorable discharge
of DR.. Peress, a New York dem
tist he has called a Fifth Amend
nent Communist.
But the Senator left Washing
ton last night saying nothing
about where or why he was go
ing. He told an associate he was
leaving town Unexpectedly and
would be back probably on
Wednesday.
Senate sources have indicated
that new committee lists for the
Democratic controlled Congress
probably will be completed by
Tuesday or Wednesday. When
that happens. and the Senate
approves them. Senator McClel-
Ian, Democrat, of Arkansas. will
take over Senator McCarthy's
position as subcommittee chair
man.
Heard 1O1 Witnesses.
These conclusions regarding
Communists in defense plants
were reached by the subcommit-
tee on the basis Of testimony by
101 witnesses:
/. The Communist Party has
Successfully inf1ltrated national
defense industries and is in a
position to acquire vital infor-
nation concerning our military
secrets and our military effec-
tiveness."
2. Employment of Communists
in defense plants, even when they
are not working on classified
material, is a danger to national
security.
3. There is no existing legis-
lation which specifically, orders
the removal of Communists ftom
defense plants where the Com
munist employe is engaged in
unclassified work.
4. There is no Defense De-
partment security regulation
which prevents the employment
of Communists in defense plants.
If they are engaged in nom
classified work. or which re-
quires their removal.
Early Action Asked.
The report recommended ac-
tion at the earliest opportunity"
on a defense facilities protection
bill which was introduced in the
last Congress but did not be-
come law.
It also called on the Defense
Department to prepare "ade-
quate security regulations" to
prevent employment of Commu-
nists and to provide for their
removal from defense plants re
gardless of whether the employ
ment is in connection with classi-
fed work"
