Little Siomese Twins
Have Merry Time Here

A pair of winsNIne little
SiameSe twins, born in the
jungles of Thailand and once
doomed to death in infancy,
became merry celebrities in
Washington today.
Now healthy and happy be-
cause of the love and determ-

were guests at a party given by
Mrs. Edison o. Sessions, wife

Their affections captured, the
two Americans vowed some
thing would be done for the
tiny twins.
When the twins fell victim to
typhoid fever, the Atkinsons'
daughter, Arden. stood at their
side and nurSed them to re-
covery.
Mrs. Sessions got in touch
with a friend who was a doctor
at Billings Memorial Hospital
at the University of Chicago,
where surgery on Siamese twins
had been attempted before.
Enlisting the aid Of her hus-
band, she began cutting
through LOCALITIES in Thailand
to arrange an operation in
Chicago. She succeeded after
carrying her pleas to the Prime
Minister of Thailand and the
wife of its delegate to the
United Nations.
Finally in 1855, Prissana and
Napit were flown to Chicago,
where the operation, the only
successful one of its kind, as
sured them Of a normal life.
To-day the girls think just

Atkinson says.
What do the Atkinsons,. who
have four other children, think

twins?

for anything" they say.

Forgery Term
Reversed by
Appeal Court

The U. s. Court of Appeals
here today reversed a 66-year-
old Polish immigrants forgery
conviction on the ground a
District Court Judge presiding
over the mans trial made an
inaccurate appraisal" Of psy-
chiatric testimony in instruc-
tons to the jury.
The appellate court opinion,
written by Judge Charles Fahy
and concurred in by Judge
George T, Washington , and
Court of Claims Judge Donald
Laramore, dealt with the case
of Louis Polisnik.
Polisnik was convicted of the
forgery charge in December,
1856. and sentenced to serve
from Is months to four years
in jail by District Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff.
During the trial, the psy-
chiatriSt testified that if the
forging of the bad checks in
volved had been planned de-
liberately and carried out over
a period of months, it was his
opinion Polisnik was not in a
disturbed psychotic state. I"
However, the psychiatrist add
ed, that lone could be very
clever and still be suffering"
from a serious mental illness.
The appellate opinion sahl
that Judge Holtzoff a. f. point
edly conveyed to the jury an
inaccurate appraisal" of the
psychiatric testimony when he
told the panel the doctor testi-
fed that if Polisnik had been
in a disturbed state cat the
time of the crime), he could
not have planned and carried
out the crimes charged in this
indictment"
The opinion added the judges
comments tended forcibly to
deprive (Polisnik) of an i'm
partial consideration of the
evidence in an important re-
spect."

BY GEORGE KENNEDY

In a sense the old Wash
ingtonian doesn't have to
travel. He can arrange to
have the world come to him.
It's not only that the ma
tions of the world send rep
resentatives TO this little
Capital; Government and
private agencies and big
business are sending young
Americans all over this post
war world.
A segment of this was
brought to the Rambler's at
ton the other day when he
was invited to lunch with a
number Of CARE men at the
Sheraton-Park. They were
all in their sos, all intensely
interested in the world. Rob-
ert Meyer, back from Yugo-
slavia, was saying what .
beautiful city is Sarajevo,
where Gavril Princeps fired
the shot that killed the Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand and
started World War I.
Robert Under was telling
how markedly different are
the Bengal Pakistani from
the Pakistani of the Punjab.
George Kiner from Wet Nam
was describing the ruins at
Ankhor Vat, in Cambodia,
and Waldo TibbetS from Is
rael was trying to acquaint
us with the spirit of the
ISraeIiS.
They had all been around.
Most of them are linguists.
OdeA Meeker from India was
talking about Africa. He
wrote a book on his African
travels.
Mrs. Olive Clapper and
Kate Alfriend, of the WASH
ington office of CARE, were
at the table. They are two of
the many devoted workers in
the CARE offices of the
larger American cities who
raise the money that keeps
these travellers travelling.

a SIS food box including
everything from K-rations to
canned meats and jars of
jams which CARE would send
to anyone designated by the
donor. Recent immigrants
and refugees arranged to
have tn ousandS, of food
boxes sent to relatives.
AS the stocks were depleted
and Europe'S agriculture re-
covered, great American farm
surpluses came into the pic
ture. CARE went looking
around the world for hungry
people and had no trouble
finding them. For in this
mid-20th century the imme-
