COURT UPHOLDS | EUGENICS LAW Supreme Court Orders Feeble-Minded Virginia Girl Sterilized Washington, May 2—(United Press) Carrie Buck, 20, with a mental age of nine years, according to the scientists will be sterilized by Virginia authorities under a U. S. supreme court decision today. The court held constitutional Virginia's eugenics law authorizing sterilization to prevent procreation of feebleminded, on an appeal by Carrie’s guardian from state court devisions upholding the law. This was the first decision by this court on a sterilization statute. Carrie was born in Albemarle county of a feeble-minded mother, according to the record in this case. State authorities, including Dr. J. H. Bell, superintendent of tho state colony for the feeble-minded, where Carrie was sent after a child was born to her. decided to perform the salpingectomy operation specified by the state law. This operation prevents procreation, and if performed Carrie could be relea-sed to support herself instead of being confined as provided in another clause of Virginia law. o MORE MONEY IS NEEDED TO AID FLOOD VICTIMS (COWTINFKD FROM PAGE ONE) army of refugees is of grave concern.

A New Safety Record i9 ' l2o '°“ "S<7s, This impressive record was k i simple method, characteristic of Company (Indiana:.

This achievement illustrates one of the fundi- I mental principles which has governed the growth of I the Standard Oil Company (Indiana i and has given it an unique p’.ac» in the life of the nennl* of »h» I Middle West. Every man or woman who becomes a part of the I Standard Oil Company (Indiana in whatever capecity. appreciates the things for which the Companv stands —strict integrity and human sympathy in I performing a work of service for 30,000,000 people | in the Middle West. Every man or woman who becomes identified with I the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) assumes a personal responsibility in preserving the reputation I which long years of faithful service have earned for this organization. The 29,000 employes of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) realize that a respect for the rights of I Others and a desire to cooperate in protecting life and I property are behind all safety rules. \\ ith characteristic loyalty, as one man, they obeyed safety I rules in 1926.
