Tourist Deficit
OF STA Billion
Noted by Hodges

ROME, Sept. 2 (AP) United
States Secretary of Commerce
Hodges told the United Ma
tions conference on tourism to-
day that the United States
had a $1.4 billion deficit in
world tourist spending last
year.
He invited more foreigners
to visit the United States, but
he pledged that there would be
no restrictions on tourist travel
by Americans abroad.
Mr.. Hodges told the 49,
nation conference that tourism
is "the largest single item in
international trade, amounting
to about $7.5 billion annually"
I'm 1862 United States resi-
dents spent $2.5 billion-about
8 per cent more than in 1861
in foreign countries or paid to
their tranSocean carriers.
Balanced against these ex-
penditureS were our receipts
from foreign visitors of slightly
over ST. billion.
That means we had a def
cit of about $1.4 billion in our
travel accounts in 1852"
He said the number of
United States residents trav-
cling abroad last year reached
1,767,000-a IL per cent in
crease over 1861. Europe and
the Mediterranean area were
the destination of $4,000 of
these, he said.

described yesterday by the Hay
ward Daily Review in a copy
righted story.
DR.. j. Ordie Shaffer of Hay
ward explained how he sewed
a three-inch square of fabric
to the tiny baby'S ribs in what
he believes may be the first
surgery of its kind ever at
tempted.
DR.. Shaffer, who will report
on the operation before the in
ternational Society of Surgery
in Rome this month, roted that
the complete absence of the
diaphragm was extremely rare
and a condition he had never
observed before.
Normally when there is a
tear, or if the diaphragm is
incompletely developed, the It's
sue can be stretched and sewn
together" he said. But in this
case there was no way to close
off the lung area"
A quick decision was made
ito implant a synthetic dia-
phragm using a fabric designed
for grating patches on the
aorta, the main artery from
the heart.
Periodic X-rays have revealed
that the fabric material has
served as a lattice around scar
tissue which has, as hoped,
stretched as the boy grew.
"It's been long enough now
that 1 feel confident that this
operation has been a complete
success" said DR.. Shaffer. The
child can do everything that
other children his age can dc" "
Donnie'S parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Donald Lenhart of San
Lorenzo, confirm this.

Is Dream Car

IA feet long with an overall
height Of just over 4 feet. Leg

slightly over 81 inches.
AS anyone who has hoped
into his car and sat down on
seat belt buckles knows, one of
the greatest deterrents to in
stallation of safety belts has
been the front seat clutter"
Emancipation is on its way,
not only in the Allegro, but
as standard equipment on the
1864 Thunderbird-the retract-
able belt which winds back
into a container when not in
use.
There is even a console light
which reminds driver and pas
senger to fasten belts when
the engine is started.
There Is still another light
to warn of a door not properly
closed and a fuel gauge warm
ing light which warns you're
down to your last four gallons.
There is a switch on the con-
sole which may be used to
actuate right and left turn
signals simultaneously as emer-
gency flashers to warn other
drivers.
With all the innovations and
conveniences, no one has come
up with a periscope-type top
mounted rear-view mirror
which could give the driver a
full view of the road behind
him.
More than happy over results
of a record-breaking, cross
country run in a Studebaker
Ayanti, they're heading it for
speed runs on the Bonneville
Salt Flats next week.
The car, driven by Miss Paula
Murphy, Mrs. Barbara Nieland
and Bill Carroll, West Coast
automotive writer, maintained
legal speed limits across the
country; went the 1888 miles
in 40 hours and 38 minutes,
including fuel stops and aver
aged 15.9 miles per gallon.
The Bonneville run, set for
next Monday, will be reaching
for speeds in excess of $50
miles an hour.

Over the Bonneville course
late last month, a super
charged Plymouth Belvedere
sedan set a record of 1887
miles an hour and a non
supercharged, injected 513
cubic inch Belve6ere ran the
course at 180 miles an hour.

NAACP Set
oChuIIenoe
uition Plan

RICHMOND, Sept. 2 (AP)
The National Association fol
the Advancement of Coloreo
People was preparing today to
seek overthrow of Virginia s
tuition grants program on the
grounds that it violates the
Fourteenth Amendment to the
United States Constitution.
S. w. Tucker of Emporia,
chairman of the State NAACP
legal staff, announced over the
week end that a suit challeng-
ing the validity of the program
probably would be filed this
week in United States District
Court here.
Should the suit prove sue
cessfull, it would be a stag
gering blow to private school
foundations which have been
set up in a number of Virginia
localities to serve children who
objected to attending racially
desegregated public schools.
Parents of youngsters at
tending such private schools
have been receiving State and
local grants of up to $3.50 for
children enrolled in the ele-
mentary grades and up to $275
If they are attending high
school. The grants are available
to all children in non-sectarian
private schools.
Although these parents have
to pay the tuition cost, they are
reimbursed by the State and
localities. In this way, public
funds are channeled indirectly
to private schools.
Mr.. Tucker contends this
system constitutes an arrange
ment whereby the State is
evading the effect of the Four
teenth Amendment. He argues
that private schools receiving
such grant money, however in
directly. are in fact public and
therefore cannot discriminate
on the basis of race.
