Chinese Students Receive Marshall Plan Aid While Attending Kansas
Most persons think of the Marshall plan as aid which is received in foreign countries only, but Chinese students at the University have been getting this help for three semesters.
James K. Hitt, registrar, said four students are receiving financial aid from the Economic Cooperation administration, which enables them to stay in school.
When the Communists overran main and the United States broke diplomatic relations, the students were cut off from their source of income.
Through the efforts of the state department, the 81st congress appropriated six million dollars for the
Division of the Exchange of Persons to care for students and professors.
The funds provide tuition, board, room, and books plus, transportation back to China. Under a new ruling they are allowed to stay in this country and become citizens if they wish.
The first naval battle of the Revolutionary War was fought in Buzzards Bay, Mass., on May 14, 1775.
'Deep Freeze Woman's Legs Are Amputated
Chicago (U.P.)—Doctors Thursday amputated both legs to save the life of Mrs. Dorothy Mae Stevens, 23, Chicago's "deep freeze" woman.
Surgeons said tissue damaged when she lay in an alley last Feb. 8, with the lowest body temperature ever recorded in a human being, made the amputation necessary.
They said her condition after the operation was "satisfactory."
Previously, specialists had hoped to avoid amputation, but they said her condition had grown worse in the last few days.
Each leg was amputated nine inches below the knee. A statement issued by the hospital said the damaged leg muscle tissue was noted early in the case.
"But it was their hope that the damaged tissue could be removed locally by surgery, if it did not heal by itself, and that amputation would not be necessary," the hospital said.
"However, the extent of this tissue damaged was such as to threaten deterioration of the patient's general condition. In order to prevent this from occurring, amputation was decided upon as a life-saving measure."
Mrs. Stevens was found in a south side alley Feb. 8 when she was brought to the hospital by two policemen who believed her dead; her temperature was 64 degrees, almost 35 degrees below normal.
She was in a condition described by doctors as resembling rigor mortis. Specialists said no other human being ever was known to survive with a temperature that low, and termed the case "astounded."
She responded to treatment rapidly, and until recently she apparently was headed toward complete recovery.
er Only last Monday she talked cheerfully in an interview, and said her experience was "just like being dead."
dead.
At that time, there was no indication that an amputation would be needed. ___
