YOUR MONEYS WORTH
Cost of q Baby
Called Bargain
BY SYLVIA PORTER

Of course, these are just av-
erage estimates, and having a
baby can cost Spectacularly
more. Fashionable obstetricians
may charge we'll over $500, a
private hospital room may run
more than $50 a day, a COM
plicated" delivery may raise the
bill by 80 per cent or more. But
the most authoritative estimate
for the average expense is $3.50
which suggest Americans are
spending we'll over So billion
annually to have BABIES Qast
year 4,167,000 were born.
There's no disputing that
baby costs are rising year after
year, because hospital and doc
tors bills are mounting and a
dramatically increasing number
OF women are going to the hos
pital to have their babies
Insurance Is Factor
But offSetting this trend is
the fact that disqualification
periods are Shortcomings vital
point In view of the fact that
the average price of a hospital
room and routine services is
1858 a day. A now mother
spends an average of Az days
in a hospital now, against the
two weeks she might nave
spent during the 1906.
Even more important, about
IS per cent of today's babies
are covered by medical lnsur-
ance, with average benefits
running at $250-a full rs per
cent of the medical costs.
No young parent should fool
himself about the skyrocketing
costs of his baby as his infant
moves into the young child and
then the explosively expensive
teen-age school years. The
squeeze on his pockeCbook will
become progressively brutal.
Still, it's a pleasure to re-
port that, at the start, the
baby is a bargain.

Lung Transplant
Patient Reported
Holding Own

JACKSON, Miss, June Is
(AP).-A 58-year-old man was
reported holding his own TO-
day after another mans lung
was stitched into his chest.
The transplant of a human
lung by surgeons at the Uni
versity of Mississippi Medical
Center Hospital was reported
to be the first such operation
performed.
The healthy lung, from the
body of an anonymous dead
donor, replaced the patients
cancerous left lung.
The main concern was wheth-
er the mans system would re-
ject the transplant in spite OF
medical efforts to make his
body accept the lung as its
own.
Identical twins accept homo
CRAFTS from each other but the
body ordinarily reject a trans
plant from a genetically dis
similar partner. The patient
and donor were not related.
Prior to the surgery Tuesday,
the medical team had made de-
tailed studies in more than 500
experimental animals over a
seven-year period.

Child Abuse
LuwsSought
For Stutes

A State legislation to protect
children from physical abuse
will be sought by the United
States Children's Bureau.
Mrs. Katherine b. Oettinger,
the bureau chief, said States
shortly will receive suggestions
on legislative language which
would require that all cases of
child abuse be reported to the
appropriate police authority by
the doctor who sees the child.
The purpose Of the suggested
language is to identify children
In danger so they can be pro-
tected. 1t is not primarily to
punish parents, although crimi-
nal action may result.
According to the Children's
Bureau, at the present time
many doctors are fearful Of re-
porting cases where they sus-
pect child abuse because they
may face criminal or civil suit
on the part Of the parent or
caretaker. The suggested law
grants them immunity from
such action.
Cases Of child abuse appar-
emily are increasing but there
are at present no accurate ma
tional figures.

The Air Force wonders If 1t
would be a good idea to include
a wit In isolated military
groups in places like subma-
rines or at the bottom Of a
missile silo.
To find out, it awarded a
$23,326 contract to a Los An
gehs outfit called Serendipity
Associates.
Representative Flood, Demo-
cratic. Pennsylvania, a whim-
steal member Of the House De-
Tense Appropriations Subcom-
mittee, explored the matter at
a recent closed hearing. A
transcript was issued yesterday.
Just to refresh your memory,
Serendipity is the gift of find
ing valuable things when you
are not looking for them.
Mr.. Flood cited penicillin.
Sir Alexander Fleming was
looking for something else, he
said, when he noticed that a
certain kind Of mold was killing
bacteria in a dish and Gin this
way penicillin was discovered"
The Pennsylvania Congress-
man noted that the odd word
derives from a tale by Horace
Walpole, called "the three
princes Of Serendip," who found
all kinds of nice things they
weren't looking for.
Mr.. Flood said wit is the
supreme Of them all (forms Of
humor). An authentic wit is
a rare bird, he is not a story
teller or a humorist-he is a
wit. A very ancient and noble
calling Of high stature"
He wanted to know how the
Air Force would go about Sc
lecting q wit for military
groups under stress"
