After I8 Years

WEST PALM BEACH. Fla. (AP) Fred B. Snite. Jr., infantile par- alysis victim who lived I8 years and seven months in an iron lung. died Ijriday while here to pa;-rim. pate in the Florida state bridge tournament.

50119. accompanied by his wife and two medical aides. came here Tl1UT5dH3' from his Miami Beach home for the first round or bridge. He did not show up for Fridayls round. and was found dead in his hotel room.

Apparently he iiad.been taking a nap and died quietly in his sleep, still encased in the respirator which kcpt him alive thrnullh the years. The machine was working normally.

There was iin official announce- ment of the cause of death. but friends said "a brave heart grew too tired from the strain."

His body was being returned to Miami Beach.

Snito. now 44 uas stricken with COFHDIEIP llaralysis at Peiping. China. in April. I936. a few weeks before his 26th birthtiay. He lay at death's door in a Chinese hos- pital for months. then was taken to his home in Chicago in an iron lung.

Since then he has been married and became the father of three children. His fortitude and good naturc became an inspiration to thousands and his fame became

worldwide Lying flat on his back in the cylindrical ”iron lung." he nad

travelled many thousands of miles. including a journey to the Shrine of our Lady of Lourdes in 'France where he prayed for a return in active life.

SHORT IIESPITE

The prayers were only partially answered. and then by the develop- ment of a lightweight ”lung"-which permitted him to sit up a few hours at a time. He could actually leave the artificial respirator for short periods.

Despire his great handicap. Snite tried valiantly to live a normal life. He attended sports events in his power-equipped van. and was a regular contestant in bridge tournaments in the area.

Her condition was reported im- proved and satisfactory. Bellefleur was arrested Thursday after re- ports that his wife had been badly

beaten. W e a r I n g pajamas and

bleeding profusely. she walked out of her home and was taken to hospital.
