"To be eligible for care at a

certain that the treatment will be
completed before the age of 15.”
He said that the family or guar
dian must be unable to pay for
treatment, and that the child must
on, examination by the surgeons,
be found to have a condition which
can be “cured or cwrected to such
extent as to render the child ca
pable of self-support in later life.”
The must be of sound mind
and be as intelligent and mentally
active as the average child of his
age.
Such conditions as club feet, cur
vature of the spine, bone tubercu
losis, infantile paralysis, bow legs,
fratures and deformities resulting
from bums or injuries, or diseases
coming under the scope of ortho
pedic surgery, are treated at
Shrine hospitals.

dren eligible for this care should

South Carolina, or to the director .
of the hospital nearest to the fam

Oppenheimer Can
Present Written
Argument To AEC
WASHINGTON —The Atomic
Energy Commission has confirmed
that Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer
can present written —but not oral
—arguments for study by the com
mission when it reviews his secur
ity case.
A special AEC board last week
ruled that Oppenheimer, pioneer
atomic researcher, is a “loyal citi
zen” but, by a 2-1 vote, held he
is a security risk who must be
barred from further access to nu
clear secrets.
Oppenheimer had asked permis
sion to present both written and
oral arguments for the AEC re
view. The AEC last night officially
confirmed earlier reports that on
ly written arguments would be
allowed.

* Members of the Key West Min
isterial Association met yesterday
morning at the library in the Navy
Yard. This was their final meeting
for the summer months. The Rev
erend Eldon Simmons, pastor of
Ley Memorial Methodist Church
and president of the ministerial
group, conducted the meeting.
Reverend Simmons introduced
Bill Gibb, member of the adver
tising staff of The Key West Citi
zen, to the church leaders. Gibb
attended the meeting to query min
isters concerning their reaction to
anew religious page The Citizen
expects to develop this summer.
New Feature Planned
The new feature, designed to at
tract the attention of non-church
goers is a novel departure from
the usual church news and mem
bers of the ministerial group" ap
proved it wholeheartedly. ' Gibb,
who at one time edited The Citi
zen’s church page, told the min
isters that they needed to get a
little more action into their church
news.
“A few people might read Sat
uraday’s preview of Sunday's ser
mon," Gibb said, “but the aver
age reader wants something that
is of a more personal nature. The
Citizen would like to receive more
'copy' concerning the activities of
individual church members. This
is a task which could be turned
into a pleasant hobby by those lay
men who are interested in church
work.”
Column Is Read
In a joking reference to Gibb’s
column which usually devotes itself
to religious matters on Saturday,
the ministers said: “While we of
ten don’t agree with you, we read
the column in order to be able
to disagree.”
Gibb laughed. “I'm not an expert
on religion and 'The Rock’ merely
attempts to create public discuss
ion and thought in the direction of
spiritual subjects. My philosophy
is that 'there is no such thing as
bad publicity’ even it it stirs up
a few hard feelings!”

Probe Of M’Carthy
Finances Is
Now Under Way
DENVER —T. Coleman An
drews, U. S. Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, said yesterday his
agency is looking into fin •'-el a!
fairs of Sen. Joseph McCarthy
(R-Wis) and will wind up the
probe within 60 days.
Andrews told reporters after a
speech the investigation has been
in progress for many months.
In his speech to a group of
Denver civic leaders, he said his
department has no authority to dis
close such investigations “but Mc-
Carthy has saved us the trouble—
he has announced he is being in
vestigated.”
Atty. Gen. Brownell on Oct. 16,
1963, gave McCarthy a clean bill
of health on questions of personal
finances and possible election law
violations, but said the govern
ment still was investigating the
senator’s income taxes.
A report issued by a Senate elec
tions subcommittee on Jan. 2 1953,
raised questions about McCarthy’s
financial transactions.
