A rope fixed to the post had
its other end fastened to the
bonds on the white mans wrists
and was just long enough to let
him run around the post and then
back again over the blaze and

barefoot, but not escape 1t. The
Indians had their ways of tor
ture figured out to the highest
degree.
The white scout looked around
him at the rings of Indian faces,
both warriors and squaws by the
dozens squatted on the grass,
waiting for the anticipated spec
tacle, and knew in his heart
this is it." The moon was full
and the night was cloudIess. This
was a happy, pretty world = one
the young white man hated to
leave.
The waiting audience let out
a hideous yell and one warrior
leaned over to apply his torch to
the circle of dry, fat pine piled
all around the post. Instantly the
sky turned inky black and forked
lightning shot this way and that
Rolls of thunder followed that
seemed to rock the forest = then
came the deluge. Only moment
before the sky had been clear
and the moon shining. It was on
ly a sudden summer shower but
the Indians thought it was Gods
way of showing His disapproval
of what they were about to do.
The Indian yells stopped sud-
denly and their howls died away.
The savages squatted or sat be-
wildered in the rain and the war
rior with the torch held it back,
then turned and stalked hesitat-
ingly back to the waiting onlook-
ers. Much chatter and gesticulat-
ing followed among the excited
but stunned Wyandots.
Slower turned his bruised and
beaten face into the rain to cool
off the fever in it while the wa
ter ran down over his naked
body and washed the cuts and
welts where the savages had
beaten him before tying him to
the burning-post. One tall chief
walked to the middle of the cir
lie, lit his pipe from a live coal
and blew puffs of smoke to-
wards the sky. This was the saw
ages way of appeasing the Great
Spirit and making peace with a
displeased God.
But the rain kept up and the
thunder still rolled. The light
ming flashes continued. The Great
Spirit must have. been greatly
angered. Slower was cut loose
from the burning-post and was
taken back into one of the Indian
cabins where he was held by a
rope, its other end tied to a roof
pole, and a muscular but sleepy
guard was posted over him. Next
day the chiefs would deliberate
and decide what to do with the
captive the Great Spirit had
saved from death. If Ta-main-de-
III was that much concerned
about him, the white man prob
ably would not be there in the
morning anyway the Great
Spirit would see to that.

Higghligghts Annual
Hospital Meeting

| Completion Of the hospital OK
pansion program in 1853 Was tile
highlight of the annual meeting Of
the Southsidc Community Hospital
! Association Tuesday night at the
Prince Edward court house.
A net decrease of $4,000 in tile
overall financial picture was noted
by Hospital Administrator Joseph
H. James. Jr. The drop brought the
hospital from a s5.O18.67 cash bal
ance last year to a Sl2.37479 cash
deficit as Of December 81 1858.
The present officers were re-
elected in a meeting Of the board
of directors Immediately following
the membership meeting Vernon @.
Womack was reelected president
with F. Curtis Hubbard. vice presi-
dent; E. Armstrong Smith, secre-
tary; and Henry L. Newbill, Jr..
treasurer.
James pointed out in his annual
report that the construction work
finished in 1858 brought Southslde
Community Hospital from a 40-bed
unit in 1927 to the model l00-bed
hospital it is today. James said
as a result Of five months Of 1858
being spent going through reno
vations of the older wings. along
with the m m ercial business
slump, your hospital did not have as
good year financially and stats
tically as We had hoped for'
Also influencing the financial pic
ture of the hospital was an increase
in nursing costs. which James estl-
mated would add $4,000 annually
to the hospital expenses. To offset
this expense. a one dollar Increase
per day in the cost Of all types Of
accommodations at the hospital was
made effective January |. AFTER
this rate Increase ii is still found
that our rates are below average for
this type community hospital and
that they are in the lower % pei
cent for hospitals in the state as a
whole" James said.

I"going to make every effort"
on the House floor to remove
features that are Objectionable
to Mr.. Eisenhower.
He said some Of the objec-
ltionable features are the pro-
vision for classrooms which he
said "has no place in a housing
BILL" and the amount sought
for urban renewal which he
said goes way over any
amount that should have been
asked"
He said the provision for
financing homes for the aged
already was provided for in
other programs and should not
be in the bill.
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen said that in addition
to classrooms and other objec-
tionable features, the housing
bill also involves what he called
Subsidized interest and some
back door financing"
Mr.. Halleck and Senator

not get the bill until Congress

would have the choice of TAX
ing 1t or having no housing
legislation this year.
Mr.. Rains discounted prob
lens that might arise in the

the measure clearance to the

been cool to many features Of

although cut down from its
previous figures, still contains

vide for:

SchooIboy Prank
Draws Jittery
Little Rock Police

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Aug.
rs (AP).-A homemade ex-
ploSive device blew up outside
newly integrated Hall High
School last night. drawing a
swarm of police to the scene.
The missile caused no damage
and no one was hurt. The
blast apparently was a teen
age prank.
Two young white brothers
were taken into custody. They
were grabbed by police as they
ran up hill from the school,
which three Negro girls have
attended since August IL.
Names of the boys were not
released.
Neighbors called police when
they heard a loud boom and
saw a flash at the north side
of the building.
One boy, II, told police he
and his brother, Is, made the
bomb from aluminium sulphate
they had purchased at Taipei,
Formosa, where they lived
while their father, a colonel.
was stationed there with the
Air Force. They made the
device with a glass pint jar.

Cancer, Not Guns, Sent
Doctor From Jungle

NEW YORK, Aug. rs CAP) .
DIR. Thomas Dooley, 80. is
the sort of man who thinks
treating 100 patients day in a
remote hospital in Laos is more
important than the treatment
of one cancer patient named
Thomas Dooley.
He is the kind of fellow who
"chose to overlook it" when
the United States Government
suggested that he had better
leave his hospital because the
Communists were shooting too
close.
He is a member of the gen.
Grafton known as beat, who can
say II feel great" and talk
about going back to resume his
work in the jungles-right after
he has told you that tests show
a tumor on his chest is AL
loaded" with cancer,
DR.. Thomas Dooley is, in
other words, the classic young
man with a mission.
And he seems angry at his
own condition only because it
may cut short the mission.
Five years ago DR.. Dooley
was a medical officer on a Navy
ship that was assigned to help
hundreds of refugees fleeing
from Communist North Wet
Man,, Touched by the suffer-
ingS>of the o-ChineSe, he
made up his mind to do some
thing to help.
When he left the Navy he
helped to found Medico Med
ical International Corpora
tom and build a three-build-
ing hospital at Muong Sing,
near the China-Laos border.
The 30-mat hospital eve
don't have bedS") now is han
ding 100 patients a day land
babies day and night" Some
of the funds for operating it
came from a book the doctor
published, titled THE Edge of
Tomorrow"
He started another book for
the same purpose, and several
times came back to the United
States to lecture and appear
on television-alwayS hunting
more money for Medico and
the LaotianS.
His mission was helped along
by the fact that DR.. Dooley is
not only dedicated-he is also
charming, boyiShly handsome,
witty and outgoing.
In recent weeks the Commu-
nistS stepped up their often
sive in Laos and intermittent
action broke out near DR..
Dooley's hospital. The United
States ambassador sent a mes
sage to the doctor suggesting
he leave. He refused.
But two weeks ago a surgeon
was visiting his hospital, and
DR.. Dooley asked the visitor to
remove q lump on his left
chest. A sample of the tissue
was flown here and analysed.
1t was malignant. DR.. Dooley
received an order he couldn't
ignore, from DR.. Peter D..
Comanduras, secretary general
Of Medico.
DR.. ComanduraS, who lives at
45l2 South Thirty-firSt street,
Arlington, and DR.. Dooley are
old friends whose conferences
helped lead to the organization
of Medico. DR.. Dooley lived at
4301 Massachusetts, avenue be-
fore returning to the Far East
in 1856.
Last week DR.. Dooley flew
back to the United States. He
visited his mother in st. Louis,
then flew back to New York
for further diagnosis and treat
ment.
Yesterday he was settling
down in his room at the
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Re-
search Center at Memorial
Hospital.
This is the most elegant
