Baby Has 'Good Chance’ After Liver Operation AdltlilUStnitiOII FlirtillQ

TOKYO AP- Dr. Keijire Suruga operated on 4 month-old Richard Martino Jr. of Cicero, 111., to correct a rare liver ailment and said the baby “has a good chance for long

survival.”

“The baby Martino’s liver was not as damaged as I had expected,” said the doctor after

the four-hour operations. It was

one of my best cases.”

The infant was the fourth American baby operated on by Suruga to correct biliary atresia, the absence or severe underdevelopment of tiny bile ducts. Suruga is the only doctor in the world presently doing the operation. He said the chances

of survival are not good if the

patient is much older than 3 months when operated on. Jennifer Rice, a 7-month-old Atlanta girl he operated on May

2, was discharged from a Tokyo hospital today, but her mother, Mrs. Marvin Rice, said ‘my baby’s chance of long survival is

one in 1,000.”

“I did my best as a mother. Dr. Suruga told me Jennifer probably will not live long, but I am satisfied,” Mrs. Rice said. She said they were leaving for

Atlanta on Thursday.

“The operation was successful, but it was too late,” the doctor explained. “The baby’s liver was so badly

damaged.

Irish On Common Ground For New President Balloting

The Irish on both sides of the border voted yesterday, choosing a new president in the republic and district councils in Northern Ireland. Oddsmakers gave Tom O’Higgins a slight edge over Erskine Childers in the Irish Republic’s contest to succeed Emon DeValera, the 91-year-old revolutionary from Brooklyn who dominated Irish politics for

nearly half a century. O’Higgins was the candidate of the Fine Gael-Labor coalition that won control of parliament and the government in March, ending 16 years in power for Flanna Fail, the party of DeValera and Childers. Voters on both sides of the fence accepted both O’Higgins, 59, and Childers, 68, as ideal for the figurehead role the non-

political presidency demands. But the fight between their supporters was angry and some-

times insulting.

The Fine Gael-Labor coalition won in March by only a small majority, and it was determined to turn the presidential election into a confidence vote

on its 11 weeks in office.

North of the border. Britishruled Northern Ireland was holding its first election since 1969. The voting for 526 members of 26 new district councils in a restructured form of local government was largely a tryout for the election June 28 of a new

provincial assembly to supplant the Protestant-dominated parliament the British government dis-

solved in 1972.

The voting should give Ulster’s Roman Catholic minority a bigger voice in local deci-sion-making, and the British hope this will reduce support for the Irish Republican Army, fighting a guerrilla war to unite the North with the republic. Snipers fired on British troops guarding an East Belfast polling station early yesterday. There were no casualties, but the shooting underlined fears that the IRA or Protestant extremists would try to disrupt the voting.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Nixon administration is flirting with a proposal to raise the federal gasoline tax by four to five cents a gallon, despite a campaign pledge last year against boosting taxes. The administration is waiting for reaction from Congress before deciding on whether to propose an increase in the current four-cents-a-gallon federal gasoline tax. As a revenue producer the raise would be a potent tiger in the Treasury’s tank. The gov-

ernment said that for each one cent of additional gasoline tax, $1 billion would be brought in. For fiscal 1974, this would mean a balanced budget. Deputy Treasury Secretary William Simon, said Tuesday a decision is expected in “the very near future.” As for President Nixon’s pledge last year not to boost taxes in his second term, Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz said, “The President will have to decide what’s best under the circumstances.”

An increase in the federal gasoline tax would likely be passed on to consumers, as this is permitted under federal price controls. Treasury officials said that if the administration decides to go with the proposal, it could be sold to the public because it would help conserve gasoline by discouraging sales, help balance the budget, and cut down on air pollution by encouraging more use of mass transit and car-pooling in metropolitan areas. But Simon said a major drawback is that the hike would hurt low-income people more than other income brackets.

The administration has not settled on a figure for its tax proposal, but some officials indicated that most of the thinking is centered around an increase of four or five cents.

ECONOMICAL ANGLER MANKAT, Minn. (AP) - National fresh-water fishing champion Dave Jadwin’s first fishing tackle consisted of a radio antenna from a wrecked car and safety pins as hooks. As he explains, “I was 9 years old and couldn’t afford anything else. They worked real fine.”

NEW YORK AP-Maybe I’m a male chauvinist pig. Maybe I’m not a male chauvinist pig. But whether or not I am. I’m tired of being called one by a lot of strident women who ought to be tossed into the town pond as commond scolds. A lot of men I know are also getting annoyed by being denounced as male chauvinist pigs by a pack of female harridans who wouldn’t be pleased by a man if he were a cross between Sir Galahad and St. Francis. Because of a courtesy to the fair sex learned at my mother’s knee - the lesson was applied with the back end of a hairbrush - I wouldn’t refer to these shrewish ladies as female chauvinist pigs. But female they are - and chauvinists they are. The dictionary defines chauvinism as “undue partiality or attachment to an ideal or cause.” I submit that a majority of the women of America themselves recognize that some of these apostles and their claims are ridiculous, hysterical and downright laughable. Some of these female chauvinists seem to want not equality with men but outright war between the sexes. I don’t think the ordinary American women wants to be without a man or, having him, to make a war between them. The goal is one of mutual affection and respect - and fun. But what is puzzling to most men is a new type of hybrid female emerging from the women’s liberation movement. Controversy For Brazil Plans RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil AP-A plan to build a modern tourist center a top famous Sugar Loaf Mountain has stirred controversy among intellectuals and ecologists here. A group of writers, artists and scientists has asked the government to declare the mountain at the entrance to Guanabara Bay a national preserve. That would prevent further building on it and protect the natural landscape, they may. However, tourism officials consider the 1,200-foot mountain one of Rio’s top attractions. Last year, the Rio Tourist Department had Italian-built cable cars of glass and steel installed on Sugar Loaf to replace antiquated wooden ones that had been operating since 1912. “The problem we have now is that of accommodating as many as 3,000 people at one time on top of Sugar Loaf,” says Harry Cole, who designed the proposed building. “At the moment there is nothing to protect people from the weather, no place to eat and no proper bathrooms. There have been many complaints.” Critics say a new building would be “a three-story tourist complex with restaurants, bars and stores.” Although wet, windy days are common between May and September, the only shelter available now is the cramped stairwell of a former television tower, soon to be tom down.

She is the type who wants to exact from a man the gallantries of the past but at the same time insist on her right to compete with him on fully equal terms in the career field. Even if she is trying to take his own job away from him, she expects him to - Push her way through the revolving door as they enter the office building. Let her enter the elevator first. Let her get out of the elevator first. Defer to her during office conferences. Watch her flaunt sex in a way he can’t. Let her have the first cab he can hail on a rainy day, if they leave the office at the same time. Light her cigarettes at office functions. Reach for the tab first if they have a business luncheon. Yes, she is woman - he is man. Even though she is after his very bread and butter, he can’t treat her as a rival. Politeness is forced on him by every tradition of the past. What can a man do to deal with the underhanded tactics of this new hybrid type of woman he now confronts more often every year? The truth is that it is all so new to him the average man hasn’t figured out yet what he can do - except to break his sword across his knee and surrender. As Socrates said, “Once woman is made equal to man, she becomes his superior."

Mass For Agent

GREENWICH, Conn. APPat Nixon and her daughter, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, attended a mass yesterday for the Secret Sevice agent who was killed when a helicopter ferrying Stocks Sharply Lower NEW YORK AP-Stock market prices moved sharply lower yesterday in response to negative economic news. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials at noon was off 7.98 at 917.59, while declines outstripped advances on the New York Stock Exchange by about 8 to 3. Analysts said pressure on the U.S. dollar, the government report that economics indicators were down in April for the first time in 2!/$ years, and Watergate worries were acting as a drag on the market. Volume leader on the Big Board was American Telephone warrans, down — to 6. On the American Stock Exchange, the price-change index at noon was off .41 to 56.39, while the Big Board index was off .05 at 22.73.

agents to presidential guard duty crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. Mrs. Nixon and Mrs. Eisenhower flew here to pay respects to the family of J. Clifford Dietrich, 25. They carried a personal message of sympathy from President Nixon, who flew to Iceland yesterday for talks with French President Georges Pompidou. Dietrich, a native of Greenwich, v^s the only person killed when the helicopter fell into the ocean Sunday while carrying Secret Service agents from Key Biscayne, Fla., to Grand Cay in the Bahamas.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. AP-A wealthy physician and a former police chief, who easily brushed aside their primary opposition, will head the ballot in November when Louisville selects its next mayor. Dr. Harvey Sloane carried all 12 wards in turning back challenges from three Democratic opponents. C. J. Hyde duplicated Sloane’s performance Tuesday in wrapping up the GOP nomination. They will be joined in the fall by Walter Cosby, running as an independent, and possibly by a candidate from the American Party, which plans its nominating convention this summer. In another major race, incumbent Democratic County Judge Todd Hollenbach swept past a lesser-known opponent to win renomination and will be challenged in the general election by Commonwealth’s Atty. Erwin

Schroering, Jr. Sloane was making his first political race as was Hyde. There were few surprises in the legislative primaries, with Democratic House leaders surviving mild challenges. One of those returning will be Democratic House Majority Leader John Swinford of Cynthiana, who has no GOP opposition in November. In the 89th House District, Democratic voters apparently decided that mother knows best. State Sen. John R. Turner defeated his sister, Mrs. Treva Howell. Turner had been supported publicly by his mother, Mrs. Marie Turner, a political queen in the mountain area of Breathitt County. Mrs. Howell adopted a philosophical attitude after her defeat, explaining that “I know a mother will do anything on earth to help her son.”

Nixon To Iceland

WASHINGTON APPresdient Nixon flew to Iceland yesterday for talks with French President George Pompidou, hoping to dispel and fear of Uncle Sam’s playing a bully-boy role in Western Europe.

WASHINGTON AP-Former White House aide John D. Ehrlichman said yesterday President Nixon ordered members of his staff to meet with CIA officials to discuss whether an FBI investigation of the Watergate affir could expose covert intelligence operations. Ehrlichman spoke with newsmen after testifying for two hours at a closed session of the intelligence subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee. H.R. Haldeman, former White House chief of staff, also was scheduled to appear but his testimony was put off until Thursday. At the meeting held June 23, 1972, Lt. Gen. Vernon Walters,

then deputy director of the CIA was instructed to tell then acting FBI Director L. Partick Gray III that continued FBI investigation of movemern of Republican campaign funds to Mexican bank could compromise CIA activities, Ehrlichman said. Ehrlichman denied he ever asked the CIA to provide technical assistance in 1971 to E. Howard Hunt Jr., convicted Watergate conspirator. Gen. Robert E. Cushman, CIA director at the time, had named Ehrlichman as the White House official who asked the agency to help Hunt in an activity that later culminated in the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist.
