Mrs.Gundhi
Tours
Hospital
BY RUTH DEAN
star Staff Writer

A mothers concern for a
sick child was the most
evident emotion expressed by
Mrs. Indira Gandhi this
morning on an hours tour of
Children's Hospital.
Time and again the daugh-
ter of India's Prime Minister
Nehru would ask as she
passed a ward or by a door
way: Whats the matter
with that baby; will she walk
again?" And sometimes she
maintained an understanding
silence as she appeared to be
blinking back tears.
Often she gave a parting
smile to the children.
During the visit she asked
many questions of the medi-
cal and nursing staff. Her
interest reflected not only her
deep concern for the health
and welfare of children, but
her background of knowledge
gained from association with
a number of children's
organizations in India.
She is president of the
children's Home in Delhi.
Mrs. Gandhi arrived at the
hospital with Mrs. Dean
Rusk, wife of the Secretary
Of State, a few minutes past
the scheduled time.
They had been delayed at
the Embassy where both had
met earlier with the Chetna
Group, an organization COM
posed of Indian Embassy
wives.
Met by hospital officials
headed by Miss Edith Tor
kington, administrator of
Children's Hospital, she made
a whirlwind tour of the hos
pital,
AS they proceeded to the
first stop, the well-baby
clinic, Mrs. Gandhi stopped
short as she saw a child
being treated N the emer-
gency room.
What happened?" she
exclaimed, as she noticed g.
year-old Giandra Anthony
being fitted with a cast.
She was told that the little
girl had fallen from a win
dow, and was assured that
she would walk again.
In the crippled children's
ward, Mrs. Gandhi expressed
interest in the hot-water bath
being given to- a little polio
patient, Jane Franzella, and
expressed astonishment and
gratitude when presented
with a beaded picture Jane
had made especially for her.
Mrs. Gandhi revealed her
special interest in child psy-
chology in the questions she
addressed to DR.. Reginald
Lourie, chief of the hospitals
PSychiatric Service.
A highlight of the visit was
a puppet show presented for
Mrs. Gandhi by the children
in the physical therapy de-
partment. . - 4
