Looks Forward To New Life SANTA MONICA, Calif. #7 — Golden-haired Nancy Hamilton is just 12 and she has lost both legs. But she’s looking forward happily to that day in two or three weeks when she’ll leave for home. “I don’t look down. I just look up. And God helps me,” the little girl tells fellow patients at St. John’s Hospital. Nancy’s legs were amputated be- cause of a rare congenital defect of the blood vessels known -med- . |ically as lymphohemangioma. She lost her left leg more than a year ago and her right one last July 13 in what was her 39th operation. “Soon I will have two new \shoes,” Nancy tells her friends. “Maybe I can even learn to | dance.” Thrills At Shoes Are Told Of Need For Funds TALLAHASSEE W— Filorida’s Democratie patty chairman de-! lared’ here last night two Demo- cratic congressional candidates faced stiff Republican opposition and considerable fund raising and organization were needed to win in November. Addressing a meeting of third district party leaders, James Mil- ligan, Orlando, said Reps. Court- ney Campbell in the first district and James A. Haley in the seventh were in ‘serious trouble.” | Campbell is opposed by Repub-| lican William C. Cramer, a former state legislator, and Haley is op- posed by Republican Ernest Brad- ford Sutton. “Word has reached us that the The first time she had ever worn Republicans are ready to spend a shoe was when she was fitted | $100,000 in those districts,” Milli- with her first artificial limb. gan said. | “It was my biggest thrill,” she| The party chairman claimed that said, “walking across the hard- wood floors and hearing the sound of my own footstep.” Mrs. Marguerite Hamilton, wid- owed when her husband was killed in a traffic accident two months before Nancy’s birth, hopes to pur- chase a trailer in which to make the new home for her daughter. They’ve already been promised trailer space near a pool where Nancy can swim daily and receive free lessons. “Tl walk around the hospital the Republican gubernatorial can- didate, J. Tom.

SHERIDAN, Il. —Varying testimony pictures Lt. Col. Harry Fleming as a leader who did all he could to make life easier for his comrades and a POW com- pound boss who threatened other prisoners in Korea with punish- ment if they did not cooperate with the Communists. The different versions were told to an 11 - member military court trying the career Army officer on charges of collaborating with the enemy during his 34 months as a prisoner of the Reds. The Army general court-martial resumed today with Lt. Chester W. Van Orman of Gardiner, Maine, —who was billeted in the same room with Fleming in a North Korean POW camp—still on the | stand. It is the third day of the | trial. Fleming, 46, of Racine, Wis., faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, separation from the service and loss of all pay. and allowances if convicted, has denied the Army charges, Red Troop Shift To Tibet Reported TAIPEH, Formosa (#—The Chi- nese Nationalist Tatao News Agen- was arranged tentatively for Sept. 30. The charge will be $5 a plate. The party leaders adopted a res- olution calling on LeRoy Collins, the Democratic gubernatorial can- didate, to ‘make a special effort” in behalf of Democratic candidates for county and district offices who have Republican opposition. In other resolutions, the group called on county ofice holders to require that their emplyes obtain party loyalty clearance at the pre- cinet level before taking jobs and that Democratic candidates be re- quired to take a loyalty oath. In another resolution, the group recommended an investigation += made to determine whether the Democratic Party shou.a we .- corporated so as to prevent use of such names as “Democrats for Eisenhower.” CONVICTED AF CADET (Continued From Page One) ferred to San Atnonio for further training, she begged him to mar- ry her. When he refused, he told the jury, she told him she was pregnant. He testified he then agreed to take her to Clovis, N.M., and marry her. But on the way, he said, she told him she was not pregnant. A quarrel followed. Whitaker said they slapped each other and his mind went blank. He said he came to and found his sweetheart strangled to death with a cotton cord around her neck. He buried her on the prairie, he said, and then lost all memory of the event. Grave Discovered But two weeks later, he said, he remembered burying the body and led officers to the grave.

Several communities declared a state of emergency. National Guard troops patrolled the streets of at least a half-dozen Massachusetts communities to pre- vent looting. An estimated 20,000 persons evacuated Cape Cod homes just ahead of a 20-foot tidal wave. Po- lice estimated that 1,000 cottages were smashed to kindling on Cape beaches. Armed troops patrolled darkened streets of some Cape Cod towns as evacuees slept in public buildings and at homes of the more fortu- nate, River Floods The Providence River in Rhode Island spilled over into the state capital’s downtown area, a half hour before high tide. Within an hour the entire business district was under four feet of water. In Westerly, R. I., automobiles parked on the main street were covered completely by flood wat- ers. About 200 summer homes were reported swept away by the hur- ricane at Atlantic Beach, Westerly. DEATHS MRS. CATHERINE L.

Lauderdale FORT LAUDERDALE w—an investigation to learn why mal- nutrition was a contributing -factor in the death of Frank J. Tomich, 78, was suspended temporarily to- day after his chauffeur suffered a heart attack. Carl Christy, criminal investi- gator for the Broward County sher- iff’s office, said he planned to ques- tion the chauffeur, Rudol Dobscha, further when he recovered. Christy questioned the chauffeur and the housekeeper, Bertha Dob- scha in an effort to learn the back- ground of the man’s plight. So far, Christy said, he had found “no basis for criminal pros- ecution.” Tomich, a retired professor of romance languages at Fenn Co!- lege at Cleveland, Ohio, died “in a shack amidst squalor,” according to Christy. He had been reported well-to-do when he moved here after retiring in 1950. The Dobschas were quoted by Christy as saying Tomich received ample food. Christy said he was still trying to check the diet to de- termine if it might have been an one even if ample in Tomich came to the United States from Czechoslovakia 22 years ago.

Declining to reverse his earlier ruling, Watkins said the committee is satisfied that Johnson can do what he said he could—consider the issues fairly. Williams asked that the memo be put into the official record. The committee withheld a decision on that. Yesterday's Ruling Watkins said he wanted to ex- pand on the reasons for yesterday’s ruling because the country doesn’t understand the situation. The Constitution, he said, pro- vides that the Senate or House shall be the judge of the qualifica- tion of its own members, and this has been construed as giving either branch the power to determite its own rules and to discipline its own members. bet The committee, he said, dogs not “render any final decision.
