Four Tiny Tols Give Mother Will To Live

OONSETI‘, Durham. April 3 __ (CP)—Four tiny tots sang “Three Blind Mice" into a. telephone and the quavciring strains 0d the nurs. cry rhyme gave a critically-ill widow the will to live.

Mrs. Grace Brownlce had lain for weeks, apathetic and disinter- ested. aftc-r a serious lung operat- ion. Doctors in the Durham County ~_Hospital were baffled. Bhe was too sick to see visitors who might have cheered her.

Then the hospital superintendent had an idea.

A telephone call was arraigned and the gravely-ill woman heard four familiar voices say ‘ "hello mum" and sing the nursery rhyme.

It was sung by her three-year- old twins. Stephen and Winston. and by Nellie. eight and Edward.

five The frail off-key voices kindled a. rallying flame. "The twins", she whispered

"rheyre out of tune. I've tried to teach them again and again."

The children sang it again.

She smiled this time. "Better. rtill fist..."

That night the hospital report on Mrs. Brcwnlee was “rallying." Bix days after the children's singing it was "satisfactory improvement. Quito comfortable."

'A-Bomb Survivor Is Sent To Zoo

WhSlf-IINGTON. April 3 --(AP)- First they lock you up in a wash- room. Then they throw an atom bomb at you. Then the ship sinks. And now they're going to put you in the zoo. ' _

It shouldnft happen to a. pig.

But it did.

The United States navy an-

nounced Saturday that "pig No. 311"-survlvor of atomic blast, radiation and residual radio-activ- ity at the Bikini A-bomb experi- Vments-is being turned over to the ‘National Zoological Park here. Dr. William M. Mann. zoo director. asked for No. 311 when he learned she no longer vras wanted by the navy'a medical department.

The navy made only one request: when No. 311 dies they want her back foa- an autopsy. _

No. 311 will never be able to tell her grandchildren about the time shc survived an alcmio attack and the sinking of l1 cruiser She won't have any grandchildren. For this porker. the only permanent result 0f the A-gbomib blast was sterility.

She was locked in a washroom on the main deck of the fotrmel‘ Japanese cruiser Sakawa. The A- bomb went off. the crulsemwent down. and No. 311 went swimming in the lagoon. He: rescuers never did find how she got out of the washroom.

Smallwood Announces

Cabinet

SI‘. JOHN'S. April 3 - (GP) -—- Joseph R. (Joey) Smallwood and his nine-man cabinet moved “into the colonial building Saturday to begin the Job of governing New- foundland as a. Canadian province.

Mr. Smaliwcodb first job was to ESX-‘lllihé-mlh‘ were‘ appointed to specific minister- ial posts following confederation day swearing in ceremonies Fri- day.

Full slate of appointments as ap- proved yesterday is as follows:

Michael J. Sinnott, minister of pwbllc works; Charles H. Ballam, minister of labor; Dr. Herbert l... Pottle, minister of social welfare: Philip Fkmsey. minister of home affairs; H. W. Quinton. minister of education. Justice Minister Leslie R. Curtis. Finance Ivlilrister Gordon A. Winter and Natural Resources Minister W. J. Keough had been named to their portfolios earlier.

Other appointments to the cabinet were expected within a few clays. Since Mr. Smsllwood and his interim cabinet - or coun- cil as it is officially called - is not able to create ministerial posts. all appointments will have to follow the lines of laws laid down during the reign of the Com- mission Government which dissolved when the Old- Colony became a Province of Canada.

The council met in the Colonial Building a 100 - year - old structure ~ which has not been used as a. governmental executive building since the Newfoundland national convention met to select future forms of government more than two years ago. Since then the building has been used mostly for government offices.

Smallwcod began his first day of administration in sparsely furnished office not even equipped with a telephonic. He communicat- ed with his ministers with the aid of messengers and by perponal meetings.

This fitted well the personality of the dynamic. informal little man who led Ncwfoundlands fight for confederation. He confided to reporters that he hates formality — especially in names.

"Joey." he said is my name. Not Joseph R. Bmallwood. When I campaigned for confederation. those who supported me yelled from the fish wharvea and meeting places- hurrah for Joey. They never called — hurrah for Joseph."

War Of Nerves Reaching Critical Stage In Iran.

B! John Roderick

‘PEI-IRAN. Iran, April 3 -(A-P) -Iran is walking a wobbly tight- rope between Russia and the West which may snap at any moment.

The "cold" war of nerves here is rod-hot.

It would take little to cause an mltrlght rupture in the rela- tions between Iran and the So- viet Union.

By the terms of treaties signed more than 20 years ago, Russia has-the right to move troops into this country if it is turned into a base for military action against hho Soviet Union.

Moscow already has accused bran of violating these treaties.

The situation has become so strained the Russians March l9 delivered a secret note to the Foreign Ministry that she was withdrawing all her consuls be- cause of the “hostile attitude" of Iran.

One of the big reasons for the tension between Moscow and Teh- ran is the United States. The So- viets any tho United States is in- terfering in the inkrtiai affairs of Iran. ‘through economic oc- aiatanca. military advice and a 310.000.0011 arms-aid program Russia says the United States is t ' this country into a base of agI-rossion against her.
