Battle To Save Life. Of One-Pound Ontario Baby

HAMILTON. Nov. 8 - (CP) -A little girl whose weight is esti- mated at one pound was born here Saturday. about three months prematurely.

Attendants at St. Joseph's Hos- pital said the baby is believed to be one of the smallest born in Canada.

(In Toronto. an official of the Sick Children's Hospital said rec- ords there showed that the small-

teat child born in Canada that lived

to reach adult life weighed one pound. seven ounces at birth).

The child. whose 28-year-old mother. Mrs. Bert Davis. gave birth unattended in her apartment home, was sped to hospital by police and

laced in an incubator. Mary Fitzgerald, the hospital nursery supervisor. is credited with keep- ing her alive.

The infant was fed only glucose at first but now eats both glucose and a special powder food. attend- snis asld.

Doctors estimated the baby was born about 2 1-2 months prema- turely. Mrs. Davis said I 1-! months. The child iaabout eight

be inches in length. well formed and

doll-like.

The mother said today the child was born shortly after she lay on

T'H a bed because of back pains. Min- sites after the birth.-she said. she got up and wrapped blankets about the infant. '

"My husband called the doctor .(Dr. G. J. Quigley) and the po- lice. The little thing irtarted cry- ing right away and kept it up un- til the doctor arrived. Two police- men iook her to hospital.

"The baby is alive today because of the promptness of the doctor and the -way he handled my baby. 1 had never seen him before but he -was there in about 20 minutes and had everything organized in sec- onds . . .those two big policemen carried her more carefully than I would have bblieved possible."

(The policemen are Constables John Brown and Stephen Tweedie.)

The child has been named Jcrris by its parents. But at the hos- pital she is known as Jennifer because the first nurse to receive her from the constable is named Jennie.

'The doctor told us. and Miss litagoraid keeps telling us." said Mrs. Dairis. "not to raise our hopes too high that Jorris will live. But somehow I feel also will."

Hospital msadaata said the baby is "doing very well" but probably will have to remain in MN .incubator for several months.

SEOUL, Nov. 9 - (Thursday)- (Fteuters) - Reinforcements and supply columns rumbled through the bitterly-cold countryside all night as both United Nations and Communist forces built up for what may be the decisive battle of the Korean war.

The moves followed a day of ag- gressive patrols and slight gains by U.N. troops. -.

Gen. Walton H. Walker, com- mander of U. N. ground forces. is being more cautious than usual on the next move.

A staff officer pointed out that when the southern army does start moving. it will have to fan out from the 110-mile "MacArthur Line" across the narrow neck of the peninsula to hold an eventual front of 450 miles along the Man- churian fronticr. 1

Gen. MacArthur therefore is building up his forces to the maxi- mum beforc starting an advance that requires dispersal.

On the other hand. he is reluct- ant to give the Communists much more time to reinforce and pre- pare their defensive positions.

The Communists are believed to have about four divisions totalling 40,000 men on the Chongchon front. Three of those divisions are

believed to be Chinese. the other North Korean.

LONDON. Nov. B-(CP)-George Drew. leader of Canada's Progress- ive Conservative Party, said to- night Canada could feed, clothe and house a population of I00.- ooztoco people. .

But he indicated in a speech prepared for delivery to the Can- ada Club in Britain that he be- lieves it will be years before there is a Canadian population of that size. The population is expected to hit 14,000,000 by the year end.

"We are growing rapidly now.” he said. We have. in fact. been growing more rapidly than was generally realized. our population may still not be large. but it is nearly three times what it was at the turn of the century and it is almost twice what it was at the

beginning of the First World war...

"During the last year. -and in fact for the last 10 years. our

rate of growth on a percentage basis has been greater than tiin of the United States. If our popu- lation continues to increase .it the present rate-and my own he- lief is that it may well increase at a much more rapid rate-we will have attained a population of 40.- oooooo within the next 50 years. Mr. Drew said many of the things Canada is buying from United states could be,supplied just. as well from Britain.

only 10 per cent of our present ini- ports from the United States were purchased instead from the United Kingdom. our present imports from the United Kingdom would be in- creased by almost ioo per cent. That would be sufficient to more than close the present gap in our bilateral trading." said Mr. Draw. "An examination of our present is United States will show the opportunity there is

NEW YORK. Nov. 8 --(CP) - Stunned Democrats. victors by an eyelash in the United States con- gressional elections of 1950. to- night glocamily studied heavy Re- publican gains and forecast a dif- ficult two years ahead for Presi- dent Truman.

with results of Tuesday's voting still trickling in from a potential 40.000.tIJO-or-more vote, the Demo- cratic Party was in control of Congress. But the margin of vici- ory was so close. so marry party stalwarts had fallen before the re- surgent Republicans and so many intangible factors enter into the make-up of an American Con- gress, that man-y Republicans were claiming a victory.

The Democratic Party won Tuesday's election of a new. 82nd Congress... It elected a majority of members in both Houses. But, cold statistics did not tell the full story. The Republicans' political comeback after years in the wild-l erness stirred the country to an" extent ll'iBl they had high hopes of capturing the presidency itself in 1952. -

These were the figures:

In the senate. where one-third of the membership comes up for election every two years. the Re- publicans had 47 seals-I8 won in Tuesday's election and 29 hold- overs. of the 36 seats at stake- four vacancies were also filled- the Democrats also won it. With 31 lioldovers. this gave them a total of 49. the barcst controlling margin of two,

The Republicans needed a net gain of seven Senate seats to gain control. Rowling over top admin- istration leaders. they gained ti net of five. The results left. the Demo- crats gasplrig: they had expected some losses in an off-year election,

in the House of Representatives. Bu-t there. too, the Democrats saw lliDll' majority - 88 seats in the liist Congress - whittled drasti- cally. With returns from all but three seat in. their House major- ity had been chopped to 32.

The House standing (435 seats):

Democrats 232: Republicans 199. One Independent won in Ohio. The Democrats needed 218 for control.

This war a far cry from the top- heavy Democratic majority in the lust Congress when the party held 259 seats to the Republicans 169. The American Labor Party held one seat-its candidate was round- ly beaten Tuesday--and six were vacant.
