Penknife Surgery To Deliver Baby Delivers Live Baby From Dead Mother Abingdon, Va., Jan. 11 —(UP)— A place in medical history was set aside today for Dr. Harry Hayter who performed a Caesarian operation with a penknife and delivered a live baby four minutes after the mother was dead. The primative operation took place in the modern surroundings of the George Ben Johnson hospital here last Saturday. While another doctor and a nurse ran for surgical instinments, Dr. Hayter calmly took a small knife from his vest pocket and went to work. His race against time was rewarded by a lusty yell from a baby boy. The surgeon was reluctant to discuss the incident and didn't want his name mentioned. But his fellow doctors told the complete story. Dr. Hunter Wolf, who was caring for Mrs. Elmer Widner of Denton’s Valley during her pregnancy, said he brought the woman to the hospital two or three weeks before time for the expected delivery. “She had a heart and kidney ailment but appeared to be getting along all right." Wolf said. "She was preparing for her 11th child.” On Saturday afternoon, Wolf continued, a friend visiting Mrs. Widner, about 38, noticed something was wrong. She rang for a nurse who summoned a resident physician, Dr. Lee M. Cole, Jr. “Dr. Hayter happened to be standing in the corridor,” Wolf said. “He saw that the woman was dead and just did what he could to save the baby.” “It’s doing fine, too, "Wolf said. “Must weigh about seven pounds now.” Gieling, of Colman, Mich. The Louisville Blades beat the Muncie Flyers 4 to 2 Sunday night, which is one hockey score Mrs. Raymond Maddox, of Hartford City, will long remember. Mrs. Maddoox, a spectator in the side section of the Muncie arena, was struck by a whirling puck, rendered unconscious and suffered a wounded chin. WIOMITAL v ll )Mu|

Kirschner told :he sheriff’s department here that he was preoccupied with damage to his car immediately following the collision and was unable to see the license plate of the other machine. Studebaker Plans Increased Output South Bend, Ind., Jan. 11 —(UP) -The Studebaker Corp, announced •oday that it would increase car and truck production this year, de spite steel shortages that have caused cuts in output by other auto manufacturers. Studebaker president Harold S. Vance said he had issued a state merit announcing the increase ir letters to car dealers handling the company’s products. Vance added however, that it still was uncertain how much the production increase would -be. AIR FORCE TO (Cont. From Page One) were cancelled for the following aircraft, none of which had gone into production; 30 Northrop RB 19 medium bombers. 118 North American F-93 jet fighters. 30 Northrop C-125 transports, and 10 Kel’ett H-10 helicopters. President Truman in his budget message yesterday cut the air force’s 70-group program back to IS combat groups and 10 squad rona. He said the number and size of planes counted more than the number of groups. Some air-minded congressmen hare Mid they will provide funds for a 70-group force anyway.
