12-Ounce Baby Girl Fails To Survive ' ... Tiny Infant Dies Tuesday Afternoon CHICAGO (UPI) f- The death Tuesday of premature, 12-ounce infant Gloria Hanses marked a loes by medical science to nature’s birth regimen. The record now stands at 1-1. Only hours before the baby’s death at 1 p.m. in Swedish Covenant Hospital, the only other recorded 12-ounce baby to ■ now a pretty 22-year-old school teacher—comforted Gloria’s mother. * Jacqueline Benson, who also was born prematurely in Chicago, was unable to see the infant, but assured Mrs. Mabel Hanses, 22, that the doctors were not outclassed in the struggle. The dark-haired Mrs. Hanses, who had previously said she would rather not have Gloria survive than be denied a normal life, had a Protestant minister baptize the baby Tuesday morning. Doctors pronounced tile incubatojfr- .jbaby dead at 1:40 p,m.#'When Mrs. Btethses heard theneWs a hospital spokesman SBI, ■’’file took it calmly. She was somewhat expecting it, I’m sure.’?’ A major problem—feeding the 10% inch habjH-appeared partially to have been. overcome more than a half day before she died. The 24-honr team of physicians had inserted a tube through the baby’s mouth to her stomach and were feeding her eight drops of sugar water regularly every two hours. It was the only nourishment she had received since birth. Physical surroundings and facilities for the 53-hour, 58-minute battle were as near perfect as humanly possible. An alert nurse rushed the baby to an incubator when the first spark of life I showed. . , . Coveted by a diaper, Gloria kicked and squirmed in 88-degree controlled temperature, but did | not open her eyes. Al visitors I were barred, and her mother saw the infant only briefly. | “She was just like a little kitten,” a nurse said. “You could hold her right in the palm of your hand.” ’ Gloria was born nearly four months early, after Mrs. Hanses suffered a fall Christmas Eve down two flights of stairs. Her husband, Philip, took the mother of two other children to the hospital when he returned home. Hospital spokesmen could not pinpoint a specific reason for the infant’s death. II “She was just not developed ; | enough to keep going,”, they said. I Mrs. Harold Grant of Albion, I and her son, Lt. Kenneth Grant of Riverside AFB, California, visited in Decatur Tuesday.
