DEATH EYE OF GIRL REMOVED; LAW IS VICTOR Court Order Is Carried Out Despite Parents’ Opposition. BY 11. ALLEN SMITH Lnitfd Prr%% Staff CorrMpondent NEW YORK, April 26.—The law prevailed over parental opposition when 2-year-old Helen Vasko underwent an operation late Tuesday for removal of a malignant growth behind her left eye, which surgeons declared would have caused her death if allowed to remain. Although it may be weeks before, doctors can tell whether she will ' live, Dr. John B. Dunnington, who j removed the eye in a thirteen-min-ute operation, said immediately afterward that her condition was' “entirely satisfactory.” The hospital reported today there had been “no change.” The operation is one which is j conceded a 50-50 chance of saving the patient’s life. Helen’s operation was performed,! according to officials of the Westchester children’s court, after the 1 parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Vasko.! had withdrawn their opposition to allowing the child to go under the knife. Claim Parents Consented Although empowered by a court order, the officials said they persuaded the parents to consent before taking the child to the Columbia Medical Center. A different version was given, however, by Deputy Sheriff Frank Cherico, w'ho said he was present in the chambers of Judge George Smyth when the parents supposedly gave their consent. “Mrs. Vasko just kept saying: ‘l'm the child's mother. Let me take her back to Czechoslovakia,’ ” | Cherico said. “She wouldn't consent to the operation, so Judge Smyth nodded to us and said we had to follow the court's order. We took the baby away, and carried her to the hospital. I feel terrible about it.” Judge Denies Force Judge Smyth denied that the child was taken by force. The cancerous growth already had destroyed the sight in Helen's eye, and ultimately would have reached her brain and killed her, perhaps within a month of two, in the opinion of medical experts. An interne in a Yonkers hospital discovered the nature of the affliction recently, and an operation was recommended. Mr. and Mrs. Vasko protested—went so far as to lock themselves in their little Hastings house and threaten all visitors with pails of hot water. Even after the children’s society had taken the matter to court and obtained an order for the operation, the Vaskos refused, insisting that they would “send Helen back to God with two eyes.” Court Orders Operation Five judges of the appellate division in Brooklyn finally took the case under consideration, and last week ruled unanimously that the state has a right to interfere in such a case, no matter what the wishes of the parents might be. Vasko is an immigrant, and has been working for sls a week on the unemployment relief pay roll. The question of payment for the operation has not as yet been settled, but it is thought likely the money will be provided by Westchester county. RESTAURANT LICENSE VIOLATION LAID TO SIX City Fees as Important as Beer Permits, Ray Asserts. City restaurant licenses are as important as beer permits, Captain Otto Ray. city license inspector, said today, following arrest of six restaurant operators for failure to obtain city licenses. Ray said he found several of those held had stood in line to pay the state beer license fee, but had ignored the city license. He continued his drive against those failing to take out city licenses of all types by arresting ten truck drivers, five hucksters, two second-hand dealers and two hotel proprietors, Tuesday. MURDER CHARGED TO 5 Trial for Deaths of Farmer and Son to Start May 23. Bn I niltd Pres a SULLIVAN. Ind.. April 26.—Five men. charged with first and second degree murder in connection with j the slaying of Andy and Oral Reedy, j Hymera farmers, will go on trial in Sullivan circuit court May 23, Prosecutor Rex Bridwell announced today.

INTOXICATION IS TOPIC Dr. Harger to Talk on Drinking to City Engineers. “When Is a Beverage Intoxicating and the Drinker Intoxicated?” This will be discussed by Dr. R. N. Harger, Indiana university school of medicine professor, at the luncheon of the Indianapolis Engineering Society at the Board of Trade building Thursday. The loprosy germ and tuberculosis germ are so similar that they would be difficult to differentiate under the microscope were it not that the loprosy germs gather in clusters.

1. Yes. War simply is not in woman’s psychology. Furthermore, judgment and wisdom in women is as great, on the average, as in men. Mrs. Cary Chapman Catt, who has had a box seat at the affairs of the modern world for a generation, said recently: “Women have gone further in peace thought than men.” We can not conceive women organizing the world for war, but we can conceive their helping mightily to organize it for peace, and this is bound to be the next great step ip human destiny. 2. Yes, if it be real love. Modern psychology agrees with St. Paul when he said,” Love beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.” Love believes w’hen it knows it can't believe, trusts when it knows it can’t trust, hopes against

A man employing thousands said to me recently, “Before we test a prospect for competence we find out what he believes about home, parents, children, social obligations, religion, money, patriotism and the like.” The first thing many personnel officers do nowadays is to give a prospect the strong “vocational interest test” and the Goodwin Watson “test of fair-minded-ness,” which are designed to bring out these deep inner attitudes. When these tests are administered by a trained psychologist they give a wonderful picture of the man or woman's real self.

Artist Kills Daughter, 3, Ex-Wife’s Father; Suicide

By Vnitrd Prr** CROTHERSVILLE, Ind., April 26. —Stanley Hammelman, 28. Bethany painter, committed suicide Tuesday night after murdering his small daughter and his father-in-law and wounding his mother-in-law and his divorced wife's sister. Resentment over losing the love of his former wife, Marguerite, 22, was blamed today for Hammeiman's action. They were married five years ago, and divorced’ three years later. Hammelman blamed his marital troubles on his mother-in-law. Both Howard Weddle, 54, the father-in-law, and Donna Joyce Hammelman, 3, the daughter, were shot through the heart. They died instantly. The mother-in-law. Mrs. Weddle. 50. was struck in the face, chest and leg and is in a critical condition at Schneck Memorial hospital, Seymour. The sister-in-law. Mary Weddle, 15, was wounded slightly in the side, and no concern was felt over her condition. Marguerite, the estranged wife, probably was saved from being killed because she was attending a high school alumni banquet. Mary Weddie said Hammelman knocked at the back door of the Weddle home Tuesday night and

The crazed youth reloaded his gun. fired wildly at Mary, and went upstairs where he put a bullet through the heart of his sleeping daughter. Then he killed himself.

TEACHERS' PAY MAY BE SLICED BY 15 PER CENT Sweeping Cuts Likely to Be Applied to 1934 Contracts Here. Faced with an almost certain loss of two to three weeks' salary for this term. 1.800 city school teachers learned today that salary reductions as high as 15 per cent may be applied to the 1933-34 teacher contracts. The resolution adopted Tuesday

.APRIL 26, 1933

night by the school board precipitated an argument led by Julian Wetzel, president of the board, and Merle Sidener, a member who opposed the measure They based their opposition on the contention that 15 per cent was too high. They advocated that a reduction of 10 per cent was sufficient. If the salary reduction is put into effect it will be contingent upon tax collections during the next two weeks, it was said by members of the board. Loss of salary for this term was laid to slow tax* collections, and th? fact that the city budget for schools was now at an "irreducable minimum.” The proposed reductions in salary for the 1933-34 terms will be in addition to the cuts put into effect in the present school year as a result of the salary reduction schedule passed by the legislature.
