By ROBERT GOLDENSTEIN CHICAGO (P—It’s up to Rodney Row. Medical science has nearly finish- ed the history-making role it playe fm separating the Brodie twins— and in keeping one of them alive. From now on, Rodney Dee Brodie Will be traveling largely on his own @long the uphill road his parents pray will lead to a normal life. It was the deep hope of such a Mormal life that prompted his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Royt Brodie, to consent last winter to an opera- tion never before successful. The doctors had a more immedi- ate problem after the wins, joined at the head, were separated in a 12 hour and 40 minute operation Dec. 17. The first task was to keep both or one alive. Twin Roger Lee didn’t make it. He died 34 days later without re- gaining ess. Rodney teetered for two months between life and death. Then on March 11 came his 20th and most trucial operation. Surgeons succeed ed in covering his exposed brain with skin grafts. ‘The danger of fatal brain infec- tion was gone. Ths 20-months-old boy entered a new phase of life, Rodney developed a sort of left- side paralysis after the operation. This condition has improved con- siderably with the aid of physical and occupational therapy. He faces still more major sur- gery in a few months when doctors build a hard skull top of bone, plastic or metal to be inserted under the skin on his head. This will have to be replaced as he s older and his head becomes ger. When top is in place, Rodney will have the physical equipment for reasonably normal life. He likes music, crawls, plays with toy and jabbers a few words to doctors, nurses and playmates in his war at the Illinois Neuropsychi- atric Institute. Doctors describe him as reason- ably bright, good natured and in fairly good general health. But the say it is too early to determine whether he is completely normal mentally. : THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, June 3, 1953 Doomed Spies Won't Tell On Accomplices OSSINING, N. Y. w—The at- torney for atom spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, doomed to the electric chair just 15 days from now, plans to visit them today in the Sing Sing Prison death house, The lawyer, Emanuel Bloch, ex- pects to get details from them about their latest refusal to seek mercy by co-operating with the government. Bloch said yesterday in New York that an emissary of U. S. Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell of- fered the paid another chance to eure atomic espionage for Rus- | sia. “We both reasserted our inno- cence and said since we are not | guilty we cannot tell them any- | thing about espionage,” the Rosen- | bergs told Bloch in a telegram from the prison here, It was learned later that Federal Director of Prisons James V. Ben- nett had talked with the Rosen- bergs. He reportedly came to Sing Sing, not to urge the Rosenbergs to talk, but to make it plain that the government would lend a will- ing ear if and when they decided to do so, Earlier yesterday the Rosenbergs lost another last-ditch legal bid for clemency when the U. S. Court of Appeals refused to lighten their death sentence or stay their exe- eution. The Jtstice Department has made it plain that the Rosenberg’s best bet for clemency is to con- fess to atomic spying and to name the others in the ring. Conquerors Of Mt. Everest Return KATMANDU, Nepal (#—The in- trepid British-led mountain climb- ets who scaled the world’s tallest ntain for the first time last were repo! today on their lown the perilous slopes of towering Mt. Everest. It probably will be several weeks before they reach civilization to tell the full story of their triumph. As the world cheered the news that two of the 15-man team had planted Britain’s Union Jack (and Presumably Nepal’s flag, also) on the icy summit as a coronation gift to Queen Elizabeth II, the 2, | climbers huddled below the peak eritics of a 1951 order attacked as extending unduly the authority of civilain government and celebrated the monarch’s crowning yesterday with a toast to her. The nature of the beverage was not known here. Word that the team led by Col. John Hunt had succeeded in the supreme test of mountaineering was brought by native runners, speeding in relays from Everest’s desolate heights. It Did Happen NEIBUELL, Germany # — Dr. or ae : Citrus Industry Today's Action Surviving Siamese Twin Is On |To Scan Its Ad Way To Healthy Normal Life Program Today LAKELAND #~Florida’s citrus industry takes its advertising pro- gtam apart, piece by piece, this afternoon to try to decide how to get the most for its money. Eight men from the J. Walter Thompson Co., New York adver- tising agency, headed by Don Francisco, vice president in charge of the Florida Citrus Commission account, were on hand to answer questions. The inspection of the advertising Program comes at a meeting of the citrus commission, which col- lects a state tax on each box of fruit shipped and uses much of the money for advertising. One of the things to be taken up is the commission’s plan to use a tax increase of 2 cents a box on grapefruit—bringing it to 6 cents— for a $600,000 television campaign featuring Miss America, a Lake- land girl, Neva Jane Langley. The increase has been voted by the Legislature and is up to the gov- ernor. Other differences to be con- sidered are between advertising by commodity or by brand; wheth- er to group all citrus in one ad| or make them separate for or- anges, grapefruit and tangerines; how to group advertising of fresh, canned and concentrated citrus. Three new members of the com- mission—appointed by Gov. Mc- Carty—take their seats today. They are Thomas B. Swann, Winter Haven; John A. Snively Jr., Win- ter Haven, and Herschel Sorrells, Arcadia. Swann was a member previously from the time the commission was created in 1935 to 1944. Snively served two terms beginning in 1946. This is Sorrells’ first appointment. McCarty has reappointed for two year terms L. Frank Roper, Winter Garden; Key Scales Jr., Weirs- dale; O. C. Minton, Ft. Pierce, and Robert Wooten, Tampa, Bill Endangering Ala. Newspapers Dies In House MONTGOMERY, Ala. 9 — The Alabama Legislature has Killed a bill which would have made it easier to file libel suits against newspapers in the state. The House voted 61-26 yesterday te postpone the measure indefin- itely. It would have allowed plaintiffs to file libel suits in their home counties if the newspaper is cir- culated there. At present, suits can be filed only in the county of pub- | lication. Rep. Rankin Fite of Marion County, sponsor of the bill, denied it was aimed at muzzling the Press. He said it applied to radio stations as well and pointed out that he is majority stockholder of an Alabama station. “If we libel someone in a neigh- boring county, I feel like we should, have to defend ourselves there,” Fite maintained, However, Rep. Jack Hankins of Lamar, publisher of the weekly La- mar Democrat, argued that the bill would legve small papers prey to “harassing” suits that could put them out of business if “‘unscrupu- lous” people made a concerted ef- fort.

Pace, Daytona Beach, for its full-time director. The action was taken at the first meeting of the board which Gov. McCarty recently appointed. Clardy, an oil dealer, is a former member of the commission. He succeeds Cecil M. Webb, Tampa, as chairman. Webb was not re- appointed to the board. Pace will replace Ben L. Me- Lauchlin, Williston, as director. McLauchlin recently resigned but stayed on the job until his resigna- tion was accepted today. TALLAHASSEE (#—The Senate today refused to concur, on tech- nical grounds, with au amendment to the nursing home regulation bill which exempted the Moose Haven Home for the aged at Orange Park from provisions of the act. |the House amendment, sponsored i by Rep. Okell, Dade County, might endanger the validity of the bill, }which gives the State Board of Health authority to set up sani- dards for nursing humes. The Moose Haven Home is opera- ted by the Loyal Orcer of Moose, a national fraternai organization. | Okell told the House its standards were high above any that might be fixed by the board of health. Collins told the Senate Okell had agreed to drop his amendment substitute an amendment to pro- vide for exemption from state regu- lation any home for, the aged op- erated by a national fraternal or- ganization which had been in exis- tence for 25 years or more. This would make the bill general any single institution for special treatment, Collins said. Only two homes in Florida would be affected by the substitute amendment, he said. The nursing home regulation bill was sponsored by Gov. Mc- Carty. It was designed to prevent recurrence of tragedies like the recent Largo nursing home fire in which 33 persons died. TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Me- Carthy’s veto of the House race track rotation bill today was up- held by the Floriday senate by a 27-7 vote. The Senate's vote means the present law which gives Hialeah the prosperous mid-winter tourist will not have to vote on Mc- Carty’s veto. McCarty Tuesday vetoed the! bill which would have rotated the | choice racing dates among Hialeah, | Gulfstream and Tropical Parks, | all of which are in the Greater Miami area. He called it a “dan- gerous experiment” with a sub-' stantial source of public revenue. | Co-sponsors of the rotation bill | | did not plead to override the gov- | | ernor’s veto. Sens.

Shands urged the Senate to up. hold McCarty’s veto though, and he voted to do just that. i Johns shouted that the veto was “cut and dried’ and bitterly de- nounced it. Sen. Leaird, Ft. Lau- derdale, also took the floor to/| oppose the veto. However, he was paired with Sen. Sturgis, Ocala, jon the vote and Leaird’s vote did not count. Sturgis would have jvoted to sustain the veto had he been present. Sen. Tapper read a note he re- ceived from the governor in which he expressed regret he could not agree with the merits of the bill.
