Take time to livei


Put first things first and leave
lesser things undone. Budget your
time and constantly examine your
use of it. An emphatic No is es-
sential to a resolute Yes in US
ing your time. What you leave I'M
done determines what you can ac-
complish.
Remember that while man re-
quires bread for survival, he does
not live by bread alone, but by
the things of the spirit.
Do not exhaust yourself in sur
viving, take time to live. 1t does
not profit a man to ga n wealth
and fame and then find himself a
physical wreck, mental hulk, a
spiritual derelict. Work with mod
Grafton.
Choose recreation which really
re-creates. Many forms of enter
tainment and amusement are be-
numbing.
Take plenty of nourishment
from Mother Nature. Expose your
soul to the glories ow ght, dawn,
sunset.
Go often to beautiful and hal
lowed places.
Listen with rapture to exalted
music.

SHIN OF SKINNER
SKINNED BY MULE

A jumpy mule named Kate
kicked her traces along the
Chesapeake and Potomac
Canal yesterday, as a result
of which Kate's mule skin
ner was admitted to the hos
pital with a cut shin.
The skinner-and there
aren't many around these
days-is George Shirley. SO.
of 1921 Pennsylvania avenue
NV.
Mr.. Shirley was leading
Kate and her harness-mate,
Dick, another mule. along
the historic tow path haul
ing the customary bargeful
of sight-seers.
Suddenly a photographer
popped from nowhere setting
off flashbulbs.
This had an adverse effect
on Kate. She failed out in
all directions with her sharp
little hind hooves and MI.
Shirley's right shin got in
the way.
Mr.. Shirley was being

OUR ZOO ENJOYED
BY FLEISHHACKER

The fieishhacker, once the
top-billed attraction at the
San Francisco Zoo, arrived
at the Zoo here yesterday.
He said he enjoyed it tre-
mendously.
Wait a minute-this isn't
one of those talking animal
things.
The San Franciscan is
Herbert Fleishhacker, "a,
founder and to a big extent
the donor of his city's ZOO.
He was an early and en-
thusiastic supporter of Will
liam M. Mann when DR..
Mann took over the animal
park here. In Washington
on business, Mr.. Fleishhacker
came around to see how DR..
Mann's domain is prosper
ing.
Mr.. Fleishhacker, banker
and investor in sugar plan
tations, used to own a string
of seven newspapers. He sold
one of them, now the San
Francisco Call-Bulletin, to
the late William Randolph
Hearst, a longtime friend.
The two publishers also used
to trade animals. The San
Francisco Zoo still has ex-
hibits that formerly roamed
San Simeon, the Hearst
estate.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
You Can Help to Widen
Susie's Cromped Life

They sat and talked at the
large round table in the center
of the kitchen Susie's family
shares with another family. The
kitchen is the heart of her
crowded home.
Susie had been helping her
friend, Mary. wash the breakfast
dishes. Mary is going to camp
in Virginia. Susie has never been
to camp, but the visiting nurse
who comes to nelp ner crippled
father said she might be able to
go this year.
"Susie has never been away
from home before" her mother
said. II don't think she'll get
homesick. though" she added
thoughtfully.
Her mothers judgment was
confirmed by the expression on
the face of the slightly plump
little girl whose brown eyes were
serious, though solemn. as she sat
with her hands folded on the
table.
A Haven in Books
Susie would not get too lone
some at camp. She is bouyant
little girl who knows where she's
going-if life gives her a chance.
And if she does get lone
some" her mother continued to
think out loud" she can always
amuse herself reading"
Reading is one of Susie's hob
bies. Her brown eyes glow and
she smiles with delight when
she discusses it. Her family has
managed to get her a few books
of her own.
Her other hobby is cooking.
She sometimes cooks the meal
for her parents and older BROTH
er and sister. Bacon and eggs
and sausage and waffles are her
specialties.
Susie has made up her mind
what she wants to be when she
grows up. She wants to be a
teacher-a first grade teacher.

Life Saved Here
Despite Ruptured Aorto

District General Hospital doc
tors in a delicate six-hour oper-
alton have saved the life of a
man suffering a ruptured dila-
ton of the aorta-the first time,
as far as they can determine,
that this has been done.
Used in the operation were
several of the most recent surgi-
cal techniques and a new method
of anesthesia.
The patient. a 46-year-old col
ored man. rests today in the
hospital with every chance for
a return to normal life.
Like an Inner Tube
The aorta is the main artery
carrying blood away from the
heart. In the case of Samuel L.
johnson, of 1903 E street NE, 1t
had weakened. Blood pressure
had ballooned it out, like a
weak place in an inner tube.
When diagnosed at the hos
pital, Mr.. Johnson was found to
have an aneurism-the technical
name for such d ballooning-the
size of a large grapefruit.
This would have been enough
to kill him. probably within six
or nine months.
But this aneurism had rup-
tured Blood was leaking out
into the chest cavity. This would
have killed him overnight. eX-
cept that the break-the size
of a small hens egg-was pushed
against other internal organs.
The blood would flow from the
hole. then clot. closing it.
Under the steady pumping
Ipressure of the heart. the clot
would break and more blood
escape. This had gone on re-
Ipeatedly until about three pints
of blood were loose in the chest
That was about one third OF
Mr.. Johnson's entire blood sup
ply.
New AnestheSia Used
When this was discovered by
the doctors the new techniques
came into play. At Z pm. prep

A new type of anesthesia, de-

used. This involves sodium pen

minutes. (This procedure is

Facing 1ieup

Washington's construction in
dustry may grind to a halt early
this week, with a strike by la
tDrers expected to continue and
retaliatory closing down of jobs
by contractors on the increase.
The employers. members OF
the Construction Contractors
Council, will meet in a special
emergency session at 8 pm. to-
morrow in the Chamber of Com.
merce Building. A spokesman
said the 1870 members will be
urged to shut down their projects
until the laborers call off their
strike.
The spokesman said council
officials will argue to their mem
bership that a strike against any
one of them is a strike against
all where negotiations Tor a new
contract are concerned.

Council, with 5000 members.
called walkouts at selected prof.
ects Thursday. in protest over
snagged contract negotiations.
Only a handful of jobs were hit
by the work stoppages.
Contractors Shut Down
But contractors began closing
down their jobs on Friday and
reported that up to 10000 con-
struction workers, including car

these factors:

Potomac Bridge Costs

Point bridge. but later agreed
to help. A State Highway De-
partment spokesman said yes
terday he presumed this same
attitude would hold for the new
bridge. but that the matter had
not been taken up.
On the District side. the bridge
route repeatedly will tie into
Washington's proposed Inner
belt" system west of Twenty
fourth street. and also feed traf-
flc into E street.
E Street Connection
This E street connection was
strenuously by Federal
planners when the District pro-
posed an earlier bridge across
the middle of Roosevelt Island.
It is the kind Of thing which
again could delay complete
agreement on the new route.
The Interior Department. an
official said, proposed earlier
this year that the new Potomac
bridge skirt the northern tip of
Roosevelt Island. The idea was
agreeable to the Fine Arts Com
mission and Planning Commits
sion officials, but was opposed by
the Theodore Roosevelt Asso-
citation.
In view of that, the official
said. Interior backed a tunnel
as an alternate to the Consti-
tuition avenue bridge. But the
tunnels excessive cost was re-
jected by top-level administra-
ton officials. who turned the
emphasis back to the current
studies.

Roosevelt Island was bought
in 1882 by the association for
1855. 900 and given to the United
States as a memorial to Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The group re-
tanned a voice in the islands

ciently strong to be the major
problem in the bridge picture.

approved a crossing of the ex-
treme upper end of the island.

At that temperature. the body

Pledge Amity

Attorney General Brownell and

last night reaffirmed eternal
friendship between their two
countries.
They spoke at the 58th annual
convention of the Zionist Organ
Iization of America, being held in
the Willard Hotel.
Mr.. Brownell, assuring the
peoples of Israel of the friend
ship and respect of the United
States, said, "Israels destiny will
remain linked with that of the
United States of America"
Although not referring spe-
officially to the objections OF
Israel to the giving of American
military aid to the Arab coun-
tries, Mr.. Brownell said:
"It is our hope and desire that
area defense arrangements will
develop through which all coun-
tries in the area (the Middle
East) can contribute toward
their mutual protection against
aggression from the Communist
menace"
Thanks Mr.. Eisenhower
Ambassador Eban on behalf
of his government thanked
President Eisenhower for his
message to the convention. say
ing that he attaches great
value to the firm friendship be-
tween America and Israel"
Mr.. Eban emphasized ISrael's
reliance upon the friendship Of
the United States and cautioned
that "any specific divergence of
Judgment between our countries
should not be generalized into a
false assumption Of sundered
friendship"
Peace between Israel and the
Arab states is essential in

Brownell told the zionistS. He
assured them that 1.-The Gov
Iernment of the United States is
not only mindful of the prob
lem but is actively seeking to

at the Arab nations:
"At a time when the nations
of the world are actively seek

On D. {. Airport
Mognuson Wants
To Know Progress
To End Congestion

Secretary of Commerce Weeks
yesterday was asked to submit
a full report to Congress on what,
Iif anything. is being done by the
Eisenhower administration to
cure the ''intolerable congestion"
at National Airport.
Chairman Magnuson of the
Senate Interstate Committee
fled the request with a deadline
set for Wednesday. The WASH
Iington Democrat said that the
committee would like to have
the report for committee to con-
slider on that day.
In letter to Mr.. Weeks, Sem
ator Magnuson pointed out that
the Commerce Department has
the responsibility for taking "all
appropriate action"
Congestion at Airport Eased
He wrote:
1T is the opinion of the men,
bers of the committee that the
danger of aerial collision in the
vicinity of Washington National
Airport can and should be mini
mized.
"The committee noted with
approval that steps are being
taken to relieve the congestion
on the Terminal ramp and in
handling passengers and bag
gage, but it is questioned
whether these steps are ade-
quate."
Senator Magnuson asked Mr..
Weeks specifically what is being
done by a Presidential advisory
committee to prepare recommen-
dations on whether an additional
airport for the Nations Capital
| is desirable.
Senator Magnuson'S request
comes at a time when the air.
port reports a steadily increasing
number of passengers on the
airlines. In the first quarter of,
this year, the airport announced
a record high number totaling
well over one million passengers.
April also set a new record of
317,981.
Would Use Friendship Airport
Pressure of the Maryland del
egation in Congress to use
the nearly-wasted facilities of
Friendship Airport outside of
Baltimore is still great. Notwith-
standing President Eisenhower's
approval of cabinet recommen-
ldations that Friendship be used
as an auxiliary terminal for
washington, no steps nave ac-
tual been taken in that direction.
These recommendations came
from a special administration
committee consisting of Secre-
tary Weeks, Air Force Secretary
Talbot and Budget Director
Rowland w. Hughes.
The airlines oppose use OF
Friendship as a Washington
auxiliary Burke, Va, as a site
for a new airport remains dead.
Meanwhile, commercial and
military air traffic in the areas
just south of the city darkens
