79 Infants Killed By Plastic Bags United Press International Seventy-nine infants have been suffocated by plastic bags so far this year, a United Press International count showed today. In addition 17 persons have used the bags to commit suicide. Many agencies and the federal government have warned parents to keep the thin plastic containers out of the reach of children. Last month the Society of the Plastics Industry, .Inc., launched a national advertising campaign in newspapers and over the radio to inform the public about the safe use of the bags, commonly used to package laundry and dry' cleaning. The industry warned that the plastic should never be used as makeshift covers in cribs or playpens or for mattresses or upholstery and should never be given FLOOR SHOW every SAT.

to children as playthings. The bags should be torn or tied in knots and discarded. Manufacturers have urged Congress not to pass hasty laws against the plastic bags. Spokesmen for the Industry say education not legislation is the answer to the problem. Fifteen states and ten cities have considered legislation against the bags. The suffocations have been strikingly similar. Many have occurred when the plastic has been placed in cribs to protect mattresses. The victims have died when the thin film clung to their faces, shutting out air. However, at least two babies have suffocated when plastic other than the kind used for packaging cut off their breathing. One of these deaths occurred Tuesday at West Haven, Conn., when static electrictiy drew the plastic lining of a car crib against an infant’s mouth. The other happened in New York June 23 when the plastic surface of a matress cover adhered to an infant's face. Boy Is Accidentally Hanged In Basement INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Curtis D. Smith, who would have celebrated his Bth birthday anniverI' sary Sunday, was hanged accidentally in the basement of his home late Thursday.

Eisenhower Signs Foreign Aid Bill WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Eisenhower signed today a bill authorizing $3,556,200,000 in foreign aid spending in the current fiscal year. The measure was $353,200,000 below the President’s original request. Congress still must appropriate the actual cash. The president also asked Congress to appropriate immediately 500 million dollars for operations of the Overseas Development’ Loan Fund during the 1961 fiscal year starting next July 1. He previously had asked for 700 million for the present fiscal year. The authorization bill provided for a $1,800,000,000 loan fund spread over both fiscal years. Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said if all the money is made available this year the fund could “improve planning in the longterm use of its resources and promote its efforts to encourage more comprehensive measures of “self-help” to nations abroad. Showers Tapering Off In Indiana United Press International The second three-day round of showers in Indiana within a week tapered off today after bringing additional relief to drought-parch-ed croplands. The full effects of the precipitation, which has fallen generally in light to moderate amounts over the entire state since last Friday, was not evaluated by crop experts. But observers believed it could safely be placed in the familiar crop season category of a “million dollar rain." The latest rainfall, for the 24hour period ending at 7 a.m. today, generally was relatively light. But in most cases it supplemented earlier showers. Elwood reported 1.15 inches, Scottsburg 1.04, Bedford .93, Elliston .88, Shoals .80, Monticello .60, Terre Haute .55, Lafayette .50, Fort Wayne .30, Indianapolis .21, South Bend .18 and Evansville .13. Forecasts called for scattered thundershowers possible today only in the southern third of the state. No rain was expected Saturday or Sunday, and the five-day outlook indicated precipitation will total about half an inch in scattered showers and thundershow[ers mostly after the weekend. Temperatures will stay about the same through the middle of next week. Highs Thursday, when clouds obscured the sun most of the time, ranged from 79 at Fort Wayne to 85 at Evansville, and overnight lows ranged from 65 at South Bend to 72 at Evansville.
