Woman Who
Killed Parents
By DANA BULLEN

A woman charged with MUIR
dering her mother and father
here in 1854 was found not
guilty because Of insanity yes
terday in District Court.
Mrs. Marian A. Henderson,
43, was indicted in 1854 on two
second-degree murder charges.
One charged that she stabbed
her father, 66, to death. The
other charged that she stran-
gled her mother, SO.
Police said the mother, Mrs.
James E. Wingfield, was found
dead sitting in her living room
rocking chair. Her husband,
Mrs. Henderson'S father, was
found in another room.
Investigators said Mrs. Hen
derson's husband, Charles, came
home to find his wife and a
daughter, Barbara, 10, in the
basement of the family'S home
in the 1000 block of Eighth
street NE. He told police he
found a lood-Stained knife
hidden in his wife's dress.
Mrs. Henderson was admitted
to st. Elizabeths Hospital seven
years ago after she was found
incompetent to stand trial. Re-

defense lawyer, said the hos
pital certified her as competent

! Hong Kong, where corneas are
not available because taboos
prevent their removal from the
dead.
In most corneal surgery
fresh corneas are used. DR.
King, however, uses a simple
dehydration process in which
the corneas are placed in glyc-
erin and a dehydrating agent
The corneas are still useful a
year later, with no refrigeration
needed.
He, two other surgeons and
Miss Elizabeth M. Lamb. the
nurse who has assisted DR.. King
here since 1857, will leave here

are DR.. Charles E. Tiff of Johns
Hopkins University in Balti-
more and DR.. John Mclean of
the Cornell University School
OF Medlclne.
Eye Bank Formed
DR.. Tiff in 1859 worked with
six other surgeons at the
Medico organizations installa-
ton in Jordan. At his urging,
the Medico division called the
International Eye Bank was
formed.
For II days, the surgeons and
Miss Lamb will work with Hong
Kong medical personnel at
three hospitals to restore the
sight of scores OF blind and
near-blind.
| Many of the 10000 estimated
blind persons in Hong Kong are
refugees from Red China, where
the Communist government
considers the blind a hindrance
to its economic plans.
At first, the Americans will
operate and the Chinese physi-
clans will assist. After they
learn the technique, the Chi
neSe will operate under Ameri-
can supervision.
After less than two weeks,
the Americans will return, leav-
ing the Chinese to continue the
work with the delicate. hand
made instruments given by pri-
vate firms.
To Teach Nurses
Miss Lambs major job will
be to. teach Chinese nurses how
to care for and sharpen these
delicate instruments.
DR.. Peter D. Comanduras,
who founded Medico with the
late DR.. Tom Dooley, said the
pharmaceutical industry in the
United States is providing the
money for the Hong Kong mis-
sion. Miss Lamb and the sur
geonS are donating their
services.
He said Hong Kong is the
first place to receive Opera
ton Vision" aid from Medico
because its archaeological 30
ciety was the first to request it.
He said the head of the society
has had the opportunity to per-
form a corneal operation only
once.
The cornea is the transpar-
ent window" Of the eye. The
corneal transplant is the sim
pie replacement of a SCARED
window" by a clear one. In
Asia, many corneas are dam
aged by diseases related to mall
nutrition.
When the Americans return
home, the 40 trained surgeons
they will leave behind will con-
tinue to be supplied by the In
ternational Eye Bank with sur
plus American corneas.

opening leaQ. JACK OF CLUBS.
The opening lead is the jack
Of clubs, and our collegiate
South ruffs. How does he
handle the trumps-with hope
or with caution?
An optimist would lead q
diamond to the ace and re-
turn a trump for a finesse,
West would win with the king
of hearts and would return a
club. South ruffs, cashes a
high diamond and tries to ruff
a diamond in dummy.
Alas for the optimism of
youth! East overruffs and
leads a high club. West can
overruff declarer and get out
safely with a trump or a dia-
mond. The defenders already
have three trump tricks and
must eventually get a spade to
defeat the contract.
Cautious Play
The cautious play is to re-
siSt the trump finesse. After
ruffing the opening lead
South leads out the ace of
hearts and then a low heart.
If the trumps are divided 80,
this line Of play will give the
defenders either one or two
trump tricks. South can afford
to lose two trumps.
No matter how the defense
continues, South can cash the
top spades and lead a third
spade to knock out the queen.
Then he can get to dummy
with the ace of diamonds to
discard a diamond on the jack
of spades. The defenders get
only two trumps and one
spade. and South makes the
game contract.
There's no doubt about it,
this miserly method of play is
good bridge, but I hate to see
it adopted by a young man or
woman. That's the age at
which you should toss tricks
away generously-especially if
you happen to be one of my
opponents.

I have outlined is both a rea-

meeting those obligations as
economically and effectively
as possible. I strongly urge its
enactment by the Congress, in
full awareneSs of the many
eyes upon us-the eyes of other
induStrialized nations, awaiting
our leadership for a stronger
united effort-the eyes Of our
adversaries. awaiting the weak
ening of our resolve in this new
area Of international struggle
the eyes of the poorer peoples
Of the world. looking for hope
and help, and needing an in
centive to set realistic long
range goals-and, finally, the
eyes Of the American people,
who are fully aware of their
obligations to the sick, the poor
and the hungry, wherever they
may live. Thus, without regard
to party lines, we shall take
this step not as Republicans or
as Democrats but as leaders
Of the free world. 1t will both
befit and benefit us to take
this step boldly. Fer we are
launching a decade Of develop
ment on which will depend,
substantially, the kind of world
in which we and our children
shall live.

Eisenhower, Truman
Leadership Praised

Foreign Aid-America's un'
precedented response to worlC
challenges has not been thC
work of one party or one ad'
ministration. It has moveC
forward under the leadership o.
two great Presidents-Harry
Truman and Dwight Eisenhower
and drawn its support from
eorward-looking members oi
both political parties in the
Congress and throughout the
Nation.
To achieve this new goal we
will need to renew the spirit
of common effort which lay be-
hind our past efforts-we must
also revise our foreign aid or
2anization, and our basic con-
cepts of operation to meet the
new problems which now con-
front us.
For no objective supporter
Of foreign aid can be satisfied
with the existing program-ac-
tually a multiplicity Of pro-
grams. Bureaucratically frag-
mented, awkward and slow, its
administration is diffused over
a haphazard and irrational
structure covering at least four
departments and several other
agencies It's weaknesses
nave begun to undermine con-
fidence in our effort both here
and abroad
In addition, uneven and un-
dependable short-term financ-
ing has weakened the incentive
for the long-term planning and
seif-help by the recipient ma
tons which are essential to
serious economic development
Piecemeal projects, hastily
designated to match the
rhythm of the fiscal year are
no substitute for orderly long
term planning. The ability to
make long-range commitments
has enabled the Soviet Union
to use its aid program to make
developing nations economical
" dependent on Russian sup
port-thus advancing the aims
Of world communism.
Although our aid programs
have helped to avoid economic
chaos and collapse. and assist
ed many nations to maintain
their independence and freedom
nevertheless 1t is a fact that
many Of the nations we are
helping are not much nearer
sustained economic growth
than they were when our aid
operation began.

phasize the new importance
this administration places on
economic and social develop
ment quite apart from secu.
rity interests, and to make clear
the relation between the mill
tary assistance program and
those interests, I shall propose
a separate authorization for
military assistance with ap1
preparations as part of the de-
Tense budget. Moreover, to
the extent that world security
conditions permit, military as
sistance will in the future more
heavily emphasize the internal
security, civil works and eco
nomic growth of the nations
thus aided.
The levels on which this new
program is based are the mini
mum resulting from a hard
reappraiSal Of each type of
assistance and the needs of the
leSS-developed world. They
demonstrate both to the less
developed nations and to the
other industralized nations that
this country will meet its fair
share Of effort necessary to
accomplish the desired objec-
tive, and their effort must be
greater as we'll. These are the
rock bottom minimum of funds
necessary to do the job. To
provide less would be wasteful,
perhaps more wasteful, than
to provide more. Certainly it
would be wasteful to the Sc
curity interest of the free
world.
But I am hopeful that the
Congress will not provide less.
Assistance to our fellow ma
tionS is a responsibility which
has been willingly assumed and
fashioned by Two great Presi-
dents in the past, one from
each party-and it has been
supported by the leaders of both
parties in both houses who
recognize the Importance of our
obligations.

yearly control over aid appro-
priations.
OF the $2.4 billion being re-
quested for economic aid for
the coming year, the President
proposed that only SIS billion
be in the usual form Of annual
appropriation, and the remain
ing $500 million be obtained
through Treasury borrowing,
to be used in making long term
development loans to the strug-
Cling new countries.
Loan Program Stressed
In asking for a five-year-
authorization. he also proposed
that for each of the succeeding
four years, the Treasury be al
lowed to borrow an additional
SIS billion for the development
loan fund. This would create
over the five-year period a de-
velopment loan fund Of $7.3
billion.
The Kennedy message makes
it clear that he regards these
development loans as 1.-THE in
strument Of primary emphasis
the single most important
tool" in his new approach to
foreign aid.
He proposes that these loans
be for as long as so years,
with low interest or none at all,
but repayable in dollars rather
than in soft local currencies
for countries just starting on
the road to development. Coun-
tries that are nearing the
stage of self-sufficient growth
could be held to shorter periods
for repayment.
The $7.3 billion that would
be available over the five-year-
period for development loans
would not represent the entire
foreign aid program for that
period.
The message makes it clear
that Congress would still be
asked to make annual appro-
priations for grants and for

FOLLOWING Is a partial tert
OF President Kennedy's for
etgn aid message to Congress
today:
This Nation must begin any
discussion of foreign aid" ir
1861 with the recognition oi
three facts:
/. Existing foreign aid pro-
grams and concepts are largely
unsatisfactory and unsuited fol
our needs and for the needs OF
the underdeveloped world as il
enters the SOS.
2. The economic collapse OF
those free but less-developed
nations which now stand poised
between sustained growth and
economic chaos would be disas-
trous to our national security,
harmful to our comparative
prosperity and offensive to otN'
conscience.
8. There exists, in the 1905,
an historic opportunity for a
major economic assistance eff
fort by the free industrialized
nations to move more than half
the people Of the less-developed
nations into Self-sustained eco
nomic growth, while the rest
move substantially closer to the
day when they. too, will no
longer have to depend on out
side assistance.
