MANORVILLE, NY, R-The seven-year-old boy rescued Fri day night after "A hours of en- trapment in a dry well was re- ported in good condition Satur- day. He took his first solid food.
 Lying under an oxygen tent in hospital, Benjamin Hooper Jr., ', was able to recognize his par ents and to ask for toy automo- bile for his birthday in July.
 The boy was pulled alive from a depth of 24 feet below the sur face after even the rescue work CTS had despaired of finding him alive.
 Efforts to tunnel horizontally to him proved futile until atomic scientists from the Brookhaven Laboratory arrived late Friday with gamma ray shields.
 The shields, shaped like cylin- ders, were about four feet in di- ameter but of graduated sizes so that one could fit inside another.
 First one was pushed horizon tally into the sandy soil, the sand was scooped out, and then another would be pushed thru it until a tunnel was formed to the boy from neighboring vertical shaft that had been dug hastily.
 The cylinders were driven into the soil by jacks in horizontal position.
 Sam Woodson, 39, a Negro en- p-oyed by a construction firm, was the first to reach the boy. The boy was carried out and in minutes was on his way to the hospital.
 The Hooper's agony began as the sun set Thursday. Hooper had just struck water after several

Pope Plus Makes Cardinal Wyszynski Prince of Catholic Church

VATICAN CITY R-Pope Plus XII conferred upon Stefan Cardi- nal Wyszynski, primate of Poland, the red hat and ring of a prince of the Roman Catholic Church Saturday.
 A short time later the Pontiff is sued an encyclical letter dramat- ically reaffirming the Vatican's opposition to Communism by call ing upon bishops, especially those in Poland, to follow the example of Polish saint tortured to death by Cossacks 300 years ago.
 The encyclical hailed the third centenary of the death of St. An drew Bobola. It called upon Cath olics to fight hardest where en- emies of the church are most ac- tive. It urged them to find in Bobola's example a course to fol- low, especially for Poles"
 Missing from the brief cere- mony in the Vatican's little throne room was the pomp with which Cardinal Wyszynski's g col leagues from II nations were raised to the princehood in 1853. Cardinal Wyszynski did not at tend that ceremony for fear the Communist authorities in Poland would not let him return. He was made a cardinal in absentia.
 Vatican sources said the quiet ceremony was decided upon lest more colorful one might mis- takenly be interpreted as Vatican approval of Polish Communism.

Joint pains have historically been
known as the rheumatism, a disease
as old as civilization.
Unfortunately, in the past many ply
SicianS have been inclined to believe that
very little could be done for it. Many
patients also have either accepted their
affection as hopeless, or have become
miracle seekers. going from one prom
ised cure to the next.
One little lady who had spent 10 years
in a wheel chair was rolled into my Office
not long ago. She said. Il am SorTy to
bother you, Doctor. It's just the rheu-
matiSm-"
The opposite attitude IS illustrated by
another woman who came to the Office
on clutches, with bent knees and swollen
fneers. She was wearing a magical
copper belt and four copper bracelets.
She also wore red flannel over her abdo-
men and knees, and carried two bottles.
one full Of Iemon juice and the other Of
radioactive water. She admitted to tax
ing Is such cures in the past. Both Of
these women illustrate the tragedy Of
many Of the ten million people IN the
United States now suffering with chronic
rheumatism.
There are over a score Of different
rheumatic diseases, but about 90 per
cent Of all patients seeking help for
rheumatism have one Of four main
groups. These are fibrositiS, govt, osteO-
arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
FThSusiEis: This term IS used to include
pain in muscles, tendons, and the tissue
around a Joint, which does not cause
real joint damage. These complaints are
usually associated with injury, exposure,
or a minor infection or strain and are
common to the once-a-month golfer,
gardener, or handyman.
GosIt: Most people think this disease IS
old-faShioned and link il with excessive
drinking and diSsipated life. Not long
ago a very aScetic-looking clergyman
was dumfounded when told his trouble
was govt. He drew himself up and said,
''Sir, that is impossible. Perhaps you
don't understand; am man Of God"

The couple are Frederick Sig
