State Justices
BY a Star staff Writer

L
! CHICAGO, Aug. 10. - The
United States Supreme Courts
historic reapportionment de-
cision last year is causing head
aches for the chief justices of
State supreme courts.
This was apparent yesterday
as the State chief justices ques-
toned speakers at their annual
meeting here in connection
with the American Bar Associa-
TONS sessions, which start next
week.
The justices listened to two
law professors, Dean Phil C.
Neal of the University of Chi
cago and Prof. Robert B. Nc
Kay of New York University.
Professors Disagree
Dean Neal told the justices
first that he doubted that the
Supreme Court, in new reap
portionment cases to be argued
this fall, would adopt a strict
one-man, one-vote representa-
ton formula.
He said the court probably
will rule out arbitrary" legisla-
tive appointments plans but
then may arrive at some ''less
drastic standard than a hard
and-fast population formula.
Prof. Mckay, taking a diff
ferent tack, said the High
Court may well rule that the
equal population principle
should be the dominant factor
in at least one, and perhaps
both, legislative houses.
Right to Counsel
In other action, the chief
justices were told by Prof. Fred
E. Inbau of Northwestern Uni
versity Law School that pro-
viding accused persons with
counsel Immediately upon ar
rest would hamper police in
solving crimes.
"As matters now stand" he
said, public protection and
safety require that we adhere
to the present viewpoint that
there is no right to counsel
during the investigative, nom
judicial state of the case"
Prof. Arthur E. Sutherland
Of Harvard Law School said,
however, the Supreme Court is
steadily approaching the time
when it may rule that holding
a suspect for questioning with
out counsel denies due process,
Prof. Sutherland said the
court, in a number of recent
ruling, has been enlarging the
class of circumstances in which
it holds that confessions are
not properly to be received
into evidence.

Saving Of Early Infants
Gaining by Research

Some authorities say hyaline
membrane disease kills $4,000
infants in the United States
annually, the large majority of
them prematures. The Incl
dence of the disease is 80 per
cent higher among premature
babies born by Caesarian Sec
ton, as was the Kennedy baby,
than among prematures deliv-
cred normally.
Perhaps the most important
gains have been made in the
realization of the Importance of
carefully controlling tempera-
ture, humidity and oxygen in
the incubator environment in
which all premature babies
must be placed as soon as they
leave the mothers womb.
Two decades ago, many died
because of irregular tempera-
ture and humidity control land
too much oxygen often led to
an insidious disease of the eyes,
frequently causing blindness.
Also, great gains have been
made in methods of feeding
such infants - including tube
feeding of some to prevent clog
ging of the lungs and in i'm
proving their food formulas to
bring them more in line with
physiological needs.
A premature baby is defined
rs any infant born with a
birth weight below 55s pounds,
or one which is born prior to
the 37th week of pregnancy.
Lower Physiological Efficiency
The chief difference between
a premature baby and a full
term infant is that of size. But
his bodily organs and struc-
lures, while all present, are all
immature from the standpoint
of cellular development.
Because of what doctors call
functional and anatomical i'm
maturity of various organs, the
infants physiological efficiency
is less and he may be prey to
respiratory difficulties, cratic
fluctuations of temperature,
disturbances in kidney function,
decreased ability to combat in
fectionS, a tendency to anemia
and various other things.
Most premature babies are
able to combat these natural
handicaps and good medical
and nursing care in the incu-
bator takes care of things
subsequently.
The smaller the infant, the
more likely it is to be vulner-
able to such hazards.

Mrs. Kennedy Is Alone
As Baby Son Is Buried

OTIS AIR FORCE BASE,
Mass, Aug. 10 (AP). - Mrs.
John F. Kennedy spent the
morning alone in her hospital
room today while her newborn
son was buried in a cemetery
near Boston.
The Presidents wife re-
portedly weathered the trying
experience very well and was
under her personal physicians
orders to spend q very quiet
day"
No member Of the family
was with her when Patrick
Bowler Kennedy, whose SO
hours and IL minutes of life
ended yesterday morning, was
buried in the Kennedy family
plot in a Brookline cemetery.
The First Lady spent a quiet
night and was resting COM
fortably, her press secretary,
Miss Pamela Turnure, told
newsmen. She had taken the
news of her baby's death early
Friday very we'll"
"She's really been fabulous, I"
Miss Turnure said.
Quiet at Hospital
This morning was, by con-
trast, extremely quiet in her
hospital wing at Otis Air Force
Base, where her son was born
51a weeks prematurely shortly
after noon Wednesday. The
hospital area buzzed yesterday
with members Of her family
and the Presidents, military
and White House personnel,
and the newsmen and photog-
raphers who flocked to the
area.
About II am, a Gordon of
military police arrived at her
special suite in anticipation Of
the Presidents return from
the baby's funeral.
Mrs. Kennedy has not yet
talked by phone with her other
children, Caroline, 5la, and
John, jr., 21a, who are at the
Kennedys' summer home on
Squaw Island near Hyannis,
about Is miles from the Otis
hospital.
She is now "just resting, ="

Patrick Bowler was delivered
by caesarean section by DR.,
John w. Walsh, Mrs. Ken
nedy's personal obstetriciar
from Washington.
Messages Pour In
Flowers and kilograms con-
tinued to pour in to the Presi-
dent and his wife from all parts
Of the world. Miss Turnure
said she and the first lady's
social secretary, Miss Nancy
Tuckerman, had already started
to answer communications sent
them from important world fig
ures extending sympathy.
There was speculation the
First Lady would be trans
ferred from the air base to her
nearby summer home on Squaw
Island, or to her mothers home
at Newport, r. l., to get her
away from the hustle of activity
at the base.
Mrs. Kennedy had three
visits from her husband yes
terday. He was accompanied
twice by his brother, Attorney
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, and
once by his youngest brother,
Senator Edward M. Kennedy,
The Attorney General car
ried a gift-wrapped package on
his visit last night.
Sister Flies Back
Other visitors yesterday in
cluded Mrs. Kennedy's mother
and stepfather, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hugh D. Auchincloss; her half
sister, Janet, 10, and a half
brother, Jamie, IL.
Her sister, Mrs. Stanislaus
Radziwill, also visited the hos
pital, cutting short a vacation
in Greece to fly to Cape Cod.
The death Of young Patrick
was the third loss of a similar
nature for Mrs. Kennedy and
the President. The First Lady
suffered a miscarriage in 1853
and had a stillborn child three
years later.

team they had previously
beaten twice. The defeat
lowered the record to SD.
