LIFE RESTORED TO DEAD BABY (CONTINI'ED FROM PAGE ONEI of the four taking turns at attempting to bring life back into ihe browneyed baby. At first there was no response. As the minutes wore on the doctors administered adrenalin and oxygen but there were little signs of life. Suddenly, after almost four hours of work, the baby gave a slight gasp and started natural breathing. The artificial respiration was conHnued for several minutes more and the baby’s eyes opened and doctors said normal respiration was taking hold. Since that time the 20-months-old baby has recovered from the effects of pneumonia and today was reported to be almost normal again. o Counterfeit Tickets Sold At Regional Nel Tourney At Anderson Indianapolis. Ind., Mar. 14 —(United Press)—Officials of Shortridge high school here today launched an investigation into the sale of more than 300 counterfeit tickets to regional basketball tournament games at Anderson Saturday afternoon and night. Two Shortridge students were questioned by Anderson police and held until Sunday afternoon when they were released because police were unable to gain absolute proof that they printed the tickets. The pair, however, will be the center of the investigation started today by school officials, who indicated two more youths may be involved. One of the young men caught selling the bogus tickets knocked down an Anderson policeman who was holding him and escaped because the officer could not fire into the crowd. Discovery that the counterfeit tickets were being sold was made while the afternoon games were in progress. The gymnasium became overcrowded, although officials had carefully limited the number of tickets to the capacity of the gym. o— Johnny Risko Meets Chuck Wiggins Tonight Indianapolis, hid., Mar. 14.— (United Press)—Johnny Risko.
