A Great Day For This Nation
Be it ever remembered that this nation turned out on Tuesday
in an unprecedented ovation, not only to the incoming president,
but to the ideal of Democracy itself.
As the big demonstrations set off with the very first float,
there were all down the line living heart-throbs of a grand Republic 
that had come to life again.
Never before in the history of Washington, did so many
people turn out to see the big show put on by the nation itself, in
inducting President Dwight D. Eisenhower into the presidency.
The various states took pride in depicting much of their proud
history in their floats. Among the most picturesque were those of
New Hampshire; with many of its early settlers in pioneer costumes 
and bearing on the rear these immortal words: "Live free
or die." Kentucky, with an array of colonels following along with
parted goatees, threw into the brilliancy of pageantry the scenes
of the times of Daniel Boone. We should not forget Alabama with
her iron man.
All in all the day was genuinely American; every school boy
in the far rurals who sat by his television must have felt an air
of pride as he saw anew his country a land of opportunity.
President Eisenhower, the praying president, made a powerful 
impression on his auditors. He will go down in history as the
man who started off his work in the words of a prayer.
President Eisenhower must not be expected to perform miracles; 
he can only do what the nation helps him to do. The theme
of his thesis was peace and America can only come to that peace
by effecting liberty for all.

January and Polio
If you think back a few weeks, to 1952, you may recall in
that year the country experienced the largest polio epidemic in its
history. More than 56,000 people were struck down by the disease—a 
total which exceeds highway fatalities by many thousands. 

It is true then in 1952, also, a vaccine was tentatively approved, 
which seems to immunize most of those who are given the serum. 
However, there is only a limited supply of the immunization 
and residents in most areas of the country cannot expect to
see this new weapon used against polio in their communities soon.
It seems then that the March of Dimes, the request for donations 
by the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis during the
month of January, is unusually appropriate this year. It comes
when new discoveries may be on the horizon, thus making this
year's victims even greater tragedies, in a way, than before. Surely, 
the preventive is foreseeable in the near future and every donation 
at present will help to spur the discovery of the final solution 
and help those afflicted to recover as rapidly as possible in the
final answer to polio-myelitis.
It should be unnecessary to urge anyone to contribute to the
March of Dimes. A reminder might be needed, but, in view of the
facts cited above, that is all which should be necessary for you
to do your part before the end of January.

Southern Republicans Cheer
President At Inauguration
Promnient Negro Republicans come
to Washington and pulled up ringside seats for the colorful inauguration 
of Dwight David Eisenhower as the 34th president of the
United States.
From Pennsylvania, California,
Georgia and Mississippi they came
and perched on the treasured seats
that lined famed old Pennsylvania
Avenue, the street of presidents.
To a man they applauded fervently 
Eisenhower's inaugural address. 
They called the speech "simpie," 
"dignified" and "fitting."
Leading the parade, of big wheels
was Perry Howard, veteran national
committeeman from Mississippi, and
Val Washington, Republican advisor
on minority affairs.
From Georgia were John Wesley
Dobbs, the Grand Master; C. A.
Scott, Atlanta publisher; W. J. Shaw,
assistant secretary of the Republican
State Central committee; and Clayton 
R. Yates, Atlanta businessman.
J. H. Calhoun Rev. R. H. Milner,
Rev. W. H. Jackson, A. W. Bryan,
Mrs. Ruby Blackburn, N. D. Jones,
T. J. Flanagan, Mr. and Mrs. R. G.
Williams, Mrs. J. W. E. Bowen, wife
of Bishop Bowen of the M. E.

Church, all from Atlanta. Dr.
Thomas H. Brewer from Columbus
was also in attendance.
Lt. George W. Lee and Miss Roberta 
Church of Memphis and Chicago, 
Walter C. Robinson, publisher
of the Chattanooga Observer, were
among those from Tennessee.
Atty. Oscar W. Adams, Jr., Miss
Leah Foster of Birmingham and Dr.
G. P. Parham of Fairfield attended
the various Inaugural exercises.
Women were also represented in
the plush seats close by the main
stand in front of the White House.
Mrs. Daisy Lampkin, publisher from
Pennsylvania, is in town, as is Attorney, 
Cassandra Maxwell Birnie
from Atlanta, Ga., and Mrs. W. A.
Scott, of Atlanta, Ga.
Close observers were also scanning
the glances and handshakes for a
possible clue as to appointments. Although 
Ike has named no Negro so
far, the names are expected to roll
out of the White House shortly.

MEALTIME MELODIES
BY GRACE WATSON
There's an axiom that says "It's
the little things in life that count" —
little things like hubby remembering
the wedding anniversary, the teenage 
daughter saying, "Gee Mother, I
like you in blue"; little things like
the big athletic son kissing you on
the cheek and telling you that you're
the best cook and the swellest Mom
a guy could ever have.
No, the big things don't seem to
matter much when those little compliments 
and niceties are extended
to you daily. And the big things do
not matter much in culinary world
either, when you remember the little
tricks that make a dish a special
treat. Little tricks like remembering
to beat the hot cocoa with a rotary
egg beater to remove the scum or
making a cream sauce for the leftover 
foods, so that they don't look

or taste like left overs at all. In fact,
there are so many little tricks that
can be performed in your kitchen
to make eating really good eating,
that I have compiled here a short
list of little things.
1. When cooking string beans add
a clove of garlic and a tomato
cut in quarters to each ½ pound
of beans. Remove the garlic
cloves before serving.
2. Serve day old rolls, muffins,
biscuits, or corn bread split,
spread with butter, and toasted
in the broiler.
3. Left-over pancakes win be welcomed 
when served in orange
sauce: melt 1-3 cup butter,
blend in 2 tablespoons sugar,
1-3 cup orange juice, and a
little grated orange rind.
4. Spread freshly baked bread
pudding with a tart jelly. Cover 
with meringue. Brown lightly 
in oven.
5. For a smart touch, add caraway
seed to the apple sauce served
with pork.
6. To prevent a soggy crust on
custard pie, memorize this
rhyme —
Bake the custard alone — the
crust by itself, and your custard
pies won't stay on the shelf.
7. Improve the color of your fried
chicken by sprinkling it with
paprika before frying.
8. For croquettes of distinction,

add minced mint leaves with
lamb; a dash of Worcestershire
sauce with beef; diced celery,
celery salt or chopped sautied
mushrooms with veal, turkey
or chicken.
9. A little sugar added to corn
bread batter helps the bread
grown evenly.
10. For juicier fruit pies, stick several 
short pieces of drinking
straw in the pie. The steam
will escape through the straw
but the liquid will run back
down into the pie.

Peterson has been unable to find
any motive for the killing.
An invallde
North Mississippi man killed his
brother-in-law because of a misplaced 
welfare cheek, sheriff J. W.
Herring of Montgomery county
says.
Herring says Watt Alexander
killed 50-year old Levi Hemmingway
with a shotgun. Alexander-who is
paralyzed told Herring he shot
Hemmingway because, "when I asked 
him for my welfare check he
said he had misplaced it."
The Arkansas 
Senate Monday quickly adopt
ed a bill hitting at "marriage mills'
in the state and thereby set the
stage for what probably will be a
bitter fight when the proposal
comes in the House of Representatives. 

The measure approved was introduced 
last week by Senator
James Johnson of Crossett. It calls
for repeal of a provision within
the 1945 marriage law which presently 
allows a three-day waiting
requirement for marriages to be
"waived" by county, pobate, circuit
or chancery judges.

participated included C. A. Scott,

L. B. Toomer, Savannah, who is being 
mentioned for collector of customs 
at Savannah.
The conference drew up what it
called "basic suggestions" which it
deems vital in shaping the over-all
policy of the Republican party and
forwarded the action to responsible
leadership of the party. The suggested 
program of action follows:
"This conference urges the Republican 
leadership of the Congress
of the United States to immediately
give consideration and legislative
priority to those measures outlined
in the 1952 platform for implementation 
of pledges on civil rights.
"Implementation of Platform and
Campaign Pledges: The historic
policy of the Republican party has
been to avoid the exclusion of any
particular group in participation of
government. The recent platform
of the 1952 convention reaffirmed
that policy and pledged the party
to see to it that all segments of the
population were represented in the
policy-making levels of the National 
Government. The pledge was
reiterated time and again by our
candidate.
"It is imperative, therefore, that
immediate attention be given to
this historic policy, as reaffirmed
by the platform and the candidate
by the appointment of qualified Republicans 
of color to policy-making
positions in the National Government. 

"This conference, meeting as it is
in the Nation's Capital, has come
face to face with the pattern of segregation 
permitted in this Federallycontrolled 
area.
"This conference has become disturbed 
by the recent announcement
of Senator (Francis) Case (Republican, 
of South Dakota), chairman
of the District of Columbia Committee 
of the Senate, who intimated
that General Eisenhower was opposed 
to an immediate end of segregation 
and was opposed to ending 
same by any legislative or executive 
flat.
"The citizens of the nation were
told that General Eisenhower and
the Republican party, if returned to
power, would end what the Democrat 
party has tolerated for twenty
years.
"The position of our party on this
issue has been unequivocal—the action 
of the party in dealing with
the problem should be no less forthright 
and decisive Segregation
is bad and morally wrong and must
be ended here and now.
"The Republican party is in control 
of both branches of Congress.
Our leadership in the Senate and
House must be urged to consider
qualified persons of color in congressional 
patronage, on committee
staffs and other congressional personnel. 

The National Conference of Republican 
Leaders recommends that
the Republican party on state, county 
and local levels, especially in localities 
where they are charged with
the responsibility of government,
reaffirm and implement the historic
policy of the Republican party by
the appointment of qualified persons 
of color in the policy-making
levels of their respective administrations 
and generally appoint individuals 
to the rank and file po
sitions 
without regard to their race,
color or national origin.
"This conference also recommends
the establishment of an enlarged
division on minorities, in the National 
Committee, with co-equal
status with that of the Women's
Division and Labor Division and
adequate personnel and budget.
"This conference is definitely concerned 
with the question of liaison
with the National Committee and
feels that such liaison can and
should be worked out whereby the
considered recommendations of this
group can be channelized and can
receive such consideration from the
leadership of the party which such
suggestions and recommendations
warrant. It is our judgment that
the best spokesmen for any group
are the persons of the group's own
choosing."

The conference drew up what it
called "basic suggestions" which it
deems vital in shaping the over-all
policy of the Republican party and
forwarded the action to responsible
leadership of the party. The suggested 
program of action follows:
"This conference urges the Republican

give consideration and legislative
priority to those measures outlined
in the 1952 platform for implementation 
of pledges on civil rights.
"Implementation of Platform and
Campaign Pledges: The historic
policy of the Republican party has
been to avoid the exclusion of any
particular group in participation of
government. The recent platform
of the 1952 convention reaffirmed
that policy and pledged the party
to see to it that all segments of the
population were represented in the
policy-making levels of the National 
Government. The pledge was
reiterated time and again by our

FORBIDDEN RIVER
by AL CODY
Copyright, 1952, by Al Cody,
Distributed by King Features Syndicate.
Captain Mark Whirter conspires with
wo ruffians to embarrass River Boat
Captain Denny Rawls while he dines at
the old Planters hotel in St. Louis.
The year is 1864. In the Planters gay
dining hall Kathleen Garrison introduces 
herself to Rawls, asks him to
captain her cargo boat. "The Varina"
to Ft. Benton, but Rawls already has
a commitment. As they chat. Rawls'
fliancee. Astrid McQuestion, her father,
Lomax McQuestion, owner of a great
river fleet, and Captain Whirter, arrive.
As Denny walks over to greet them,
he is jostled and insulted by the two
ruffians hired to embarass him. He
knocks them to the floor.
IT HAD been only a week since
Rawls had seen Astrid, but it had
stretched like years. That had been
a hundred miles up the Missouri,
and theirs had been a whirlwind
courtship to the preceding days. It
had lasted just three weeks—three
of the most soul-shaking weeks
that ho had ever dreamed of. Perhaps 
he had swept her off her feet
with his ardency, just as her sunkissed 
beauty, from a winter spent
at Memphis, had worked change in
him.
One evening, under a bright
wing of moon, she'd given him her
promise. The next day he'd been
called to duty and she had started
the return journey. In the days between, 
he had lived for this next
meeting, when he would again be
able to hold her in his arms. Certainly 
he hadn't intended for it to
be in so public a place, or with a
friend of the family along. It was
bad enough to have Lomax McQuestion 
for chaperon.
But Astrid had made the arrangements, 
and there had been
nothing for him to do but accept
with as good grace as possible.
There had been a scrawled postscript 
to her note, from Lomax
McQuestion, saying that he wanted
to talk over some urgent business,
as he understood that his prospective 
son-in-law was now free for a
new enterprise. The note had hinted 
that it entailed the command of
the best river packet in the McQuestion 
fleet.
That had been a pleasurable
thrill, for it conveyed a tacit acceptance 
of his new status, and
the McQuestion boats were the
pride of the rivers. This was the
first time that Rawls had met McQuestion 
since Astrid had agreed
to marry him. The second time
that they had ever met, for that
matter.
But now he knew a moment of
wonder that such a man as McQuestion 
could be father to a girl
like Astrid. She was as slender
and fragile as a reed. McQuestion,
by contrast, was a bear of a man,
stubby always smoking a black
pipe, always in need of a shave.
Though he was dressed for the occasion 
tonight, clothes could not
change him, and he looked like

one of the stevedores on his own
boats. But looks could be deceiving, 
for Lomax McQuestion was a
name to conjure with here in St.
Louis, or anywhere along the river.
Astrid had written that her father 
had raised no objections to
their engagement. That was fair
of him, for while Denny Rawls was
also a well-known name on the
river, certainly he had little to offer 
a girl in the way of material
things.
"You seemed to be limping, Denny," 
Astrid commented, breaking
a silence in danger of becoming
strained. "Or did I imagine it?"
Rawls shrugged in light dismissal. 
"That's from a Minis ball in
my foot, a few months back," he
explained. "It only bothers me in
weather like this. In a way, it's a
good thing. I can't march so well
now, which is why I'm out of the
Army. At first, I was disappointed.
But the war, as I see it, is pretty
well over. It's only a matter of
time, now. This way, I can get
back on the river, and that's what
I like."
He was conscious of the sudden
sharp scrutiny in the eyes of all
three, of the hush of attention from
those at neighboring tables as he
gave his opinion. St. Louis was
still a Southern city at heart.
"So that's your opinion, is it—
that the wars about ended?"
Whirter demanded, and there was
a truculent note to his voice. "I'm
afraid you're optimistic, sir."
"Maybe," Rawls shugged again.
"In any case, it seems to be over
for me."
"That's what we want to talk to
you about," McQuestion boomed.
"Maybe that Mime ball is a lucky
break for both of us. Good men
who know the river—especially the
upper Big Muddy — are mighty
scarce these days. I've a boat I
want to send to Fort Benton; and
I figured it was a stroke of luck
about you, Denny, my boy. You
have both a captain's license and
a pilot's, I know."
Eagerness crept back into
Rawls. One event after another
had kept him on the lower reaches
of the river too long. To get back
to Benton would be like returning
home.
"There's nothing I'd like better,
sir, if I can serve you," he admitted. 

"Fine. That's the sort of answer 
I like. As you know, they've
been making some rich gold strikes
up that way of late. They say that
the ones at Virginia City and Alder
Gulch are among the richest ever
found anywhere. So I figure that
a cargo of supplies delivered at
Benton will be worth a fortune.
The  is ready to take on a
load tomorrow, then start the next
morning. All that's been lacking is

a man who knows the upper river,
a man I can depend on to handle
her."
Rawls knew what he meant.
The Big Muddy was always a
treacherous stream for a river
boat. Filled with hidden sawyers,
constantly shifting sand bars,
changing banks, and tricky currents, 
it was one of the most difficult 
of all navigable streams,
even in normal times. And these
times were far from ordinary.
All the way along the Missouri
now were men who felt, in one respect 
at least, as he believed—that
the South was losing the war, and
that it was only a question of time,
and not too much of that, until the
end of the struggle. But many of
them, unlike himself, sympathized
with the cause of the Confederacy.
A lot of them hoped passionately
for some miracle that would give
the South a new lease on life, and
they were ready to do anything
they could to hinder the Yankees.
Many of their acts were contingent
on the principle that enough pinpricks 
could mount up to an aggravation 
that might prove a serious 
diversion.
That attitude often meant trouble 
for boats carrying supplies on
the river. In addition, there was
the more ominous threat of Indian
trouble. Red Cloud and his warriors 
were on the warpath, and a
smouldering brand might burst at
any time into a conflagration to
sweep across a thousand miles of
mountain and prairie. Caught in
its wash would be the river and
any who traveled it.
"Can you be ready to take over
tomorrow, get loaded and start
the next morning?" McQuestion
probed. "I'll make it worth your
while, boy. And every day counts
now, as no man will understand
better than yourself."
Mountain snows were melting,
feeding the smaller streams which
in turn emptied into the Madison,
the Gallatin, the Jefferson, the
Marias, the Milk, the Yellowstone
—feeders for the upper Missouri.
The time to travel was at the crest
of these high waters.
Rawls hesitated, torn between
desires. He had hoped for several
days, perhaps weeks, to be spent
here with Astrid. That would be
out of the question if he took this
job. A snatched hour or so during
the next day, perhaps — then he
would be gone, for a period of
months.
But if he made a successful trip,
the profits would be substantial.
McQuestion would hardly be niggardly 
with his future son-in-law.
He looked at Astrid, saw her eager
nod, and made up his mind.
"If you say tomorrow, tomorrow 
it is," he agreed.

three, of the hush of attention from
those at neighboring tables as he
gave his opinion. St. Louis was
still a Southern city at heart.
"So that's your opinion, is it—
that the wars about ended?"
Whirter demanded, and there was
a truculent note to his voice. "I'm
afraid you're optimistic, sir."
"Maybe," Rawls shugged again.
"In any case, it seems to be over
for me."
"That's what we want to talk to
you about," McQuestion boomed.
"Maybe that Mime ball is a lucky
break for both of us. Good men
who know the river—especially the
upper Big Muddy — are mighty
scarce these days. I've a boat I
want to send to Fort Benton; and
I figured it was a stroke of luck
about you, Denny, my boy. You
have both a captain's license and
a pilot's, I know."
Eagerness crept back into
Rawls. One event after another
had kept him on the lower reaches
of the river too long. To get back
to Benton would be like returning
home.
"There's nothing I'd like better,
sir, if I can serve you," he admitted. 

"Fine. That's the sort of answer 
I like. As you know, they've
been making some rich gold strikes
up that way of late. They say that
the ones at Virginia City and Alder
Gulch are among the richest ever
found anywhere. So I figure that
a cargo of supplies delivered at
Benton will be worth a fortune.
The  is ready to take on a
load tomorrow, then start the next
morning. All that's been lacking is

a man who knows the upper river,
a man I can depend on to handle
her."
Rawls knew what he meant.
The Big Muddy was always a
treacherous stream for a river
boat. Filled with hidden sawyers,
constantly shifting sand bars,
changing banks, and tricky currents, 
it was one of the most difficult 
of all navigable streams,
even in normal times. And these
times were far from ordinary.
All the way along the Missouri
now were men who felt, in one respect 
at least, as he believed—that
the South was losing the war, and
that it was only a question of time,
and not too much of that, until the
end of the struggle. But many of
them, unlike himself, sympathized
with the cause of the Confederacy.
A lot of them hoped passionately
for some miracle that would give
the South a new lease on life, and
they were ready to do anything
they could to hinder the Yankees.
Many of their acts were contingent
on the principle that enough pinpricks 
could mount up to an aggravation 
that might prove a serious 
diversion.
That attitude often meant trouble 
for boats carrying supplies on
the river. In addition, there was
the more ominous threat of Indian
trouble. Red Cloud and his warriors 
were on the warpath, and a
smouldering brand might burst at
any time into a conflagration to
sweep across a thousand miles of
mountain and prairie. Caught in
its wash would be the river and
any who traveled it.
"Can you be ready to take over
tomorrow, get loaded and start
the next morning?" McQuestion
probed. "I'll make it worth your
while, boy. And every day counts
now, as no man will understand
better than yourself."
Mountain snows were melting,
feeding the smaller streams which
in turn emptied into the Madison,
the Gallatin, the Jefferson, the
Marias, the Milk, the Yellowstone
—feeders for the upper Missouri.
The time to travel was at the crest
of these high waters.
Rawls hesitated, torn between
desires. He had hoped for several
days, perhaps weeks, to be spent
here with Astrid. That would be
out of the question if he took this
job. A snatched hour or so during
the next day, perhaps — then he
would be gone, for a period of
months.
But if he made a successful trip,
the profits would be substantial.
McQuestion would hardly be niggardly 
with his future son-in-law.
He looked at Astrid, saw her eager
nod, and made up his mind.
"If you say tomorrow, tomorrow 
it is," he agreed.

By DR. A. E. HORNE
Eye strain headaches may be either 
posterior, orbital, frontal or
temporal. They are usually associated 
with the use of the eyes for close
work: or in certain cases for distance: 
are relieved by sleep, rest and
properly fitted lenses, and are frequently 
associated with tenderness
of the eyeball or eye muscles, and
sometimes blurred vision.
Apart from the pain which radiates 
from the eye to the head, actual
headache may also emanate from
the eyes even when the latter are not
diseased, this being the case for instance, 
in the headache occurring
when the eyes are strained, one
should therefore first of all give
your physician a precise description
of all symptoms as where the pain
is situated, what are its intensity
and quality, that is, dull compressing, 
boring, stabbing, hammering,
etc. Whether it is associated with
any definite causes or any definite
time of day. A headache originating
in the eye is localized in the front
portion of the skull that is in the vicinity 
of the orbit in the forehead
and in the temples, while pain in the
occiput or back part of the head
does not usually occur from this
cause. This rule, however, there are
not a few exceptions. Headaches
emanating from the eye can be easily 
recognized when we find the eye
inflamed, weeping, or sensitive on
pressure.
Headaches in which there is nothing 
to be seen in the eyes externally
originate in errors of refraction, and
in disturbances of muscular equilibrium. 
Such headaches occur only
after prolonged exertion of the eyes
and hence are never present upon
waking in the morning.
Dr. Horne will answer questions
relating to health and hygiene in
this column and by mail. He will
make diagnosis ort prescribe for individuals.

Beale Street

one of her friends—she was telling
her about Jordon Harrington, who
is my uncle toy the name of Sam
just recetly called, well she doesn't
know that this Jordon left more
than one heart broken on Beale—
Say I dedicate this to the cats, on
my beat, that Miss Ann 'Peaches"
Smith left heart broken when she
left my beat. If so I'll give you two
other places, where you can get in
touch with her now: Gem Theater
at Waco Texas, if not there—Temple 
Theater, Dunbar, Texas—Well
cats that's far enough to go for one
little ole chick, because she's a
show girl and she's on the go all
the time—Say Miss Sammie Brooks
can't your cat find a better place
for you to wait for him, instead of
the corner of Third and Beale —
Peping in with one eye open and
two eyes closed on the Elks New
Ballroom— I found a pretty fair
crowd up last week and they are
running ladies night, Wednesday.
Well cats looks like they want to get
the ladles hands and leaves us out,
but you come on up, its only a
SMALL ADMISSION. I also found
that Miss Frankelle Robinson of
Kwem, was up to the Ballroom. Say
fellows thats a nice place to take
your girl.
Strolling down by the Harlem
House, where I spend all I had,
which happened to be 5 cents. Well
BOSS here I go with that Doggone
expense—If I keep fooling with
this thing I'll be gray-headed, before 
I get one full stomach— Well
ain't no cab-fare this time— it's
these heel plates on my shoes, as I
stepped down off the curb stone, a
rock, tickled my feet-So— 20 cents
went for heel plates— one cut of
coffee, 7 cents leaving 29 cents to
go-hot dog—well I guess you think
I'm always eating hot dogs, but
there's nothing else for me to
choose between, except a hot dog
or a cold dog—13 cents to go —5
cents in the Juke box, to hear that
famous song—"I Don't Know." Say
BILL RAINEY, don't you know you
cant afford to ride all over Beale,
my Beat looking for a parking
place with time on it. You made
me think of the time when I first
brought you to town, and you
said "no wonder they call Beale
Street the home of the Blues, because 
they have Juke boxes all
over the street." (referring to the
parking meters. Here are some of
the cats and chicks that I happen
ed to catch on my Beat—Jeanetta
Prather, (the little ole chick at
Harlem Mouse..0.6) Ever Mae McCulley, 
Ruby Harding, Gloria
Wrenn, Hildred Walker, W. L. Richardson, 
Charlie Becton, Annie
Ruth Patterson, Dick Cole (Al Jack

one tip with YOU, because so
many of my readers asked me why
do I use the word Boss so much—
this is the reason, it's just an old
plantation slang that I picked up
on my beat, but when I use it I'm
referring to the Key Man, so until

Brain Pressure
Blamed In Death
Of Siamese Twin
Surgeons
said today that the major cause 
the death of Roger Lee Brodie, 
of the separated Siamese twins,
probably was pressure on the brain.
Preliminary results of an autopsy
on the 16-months-old twin were
announced today. Roger Lee died
Tuesday night in the University of
Illinois hospital in Chicago.
A statement today said:
"The death of Roger Lee... was
attributed to many factors, none of
which operating alone would have
caused it.
"The major cause of death, however, 
was believed to be pressure on
the vital centers of the base of the
brain (the same regions which are
affected in bulbar poliomyelitis.)"
Roger and his head-to-head
brother, Rodney Dee, the stronger
of the twins, were separated in a
history-making surgery last December 
17.
Roger had been in a coma since
the operation. Rodney is still in
critical condition but plans are going 
forward for additional s
grafts to cover his brain. The d
for the next plastic operation has
not been set, doctors said.
