Connaughton Assails
Delaying Tactics in
Home Rule Debate
John H. Connaugton, president of
Ihe District Federation of Citizens’
Associations, condemned congres
sional delaying tactics in the home
rule bill debate.
Mr. Connaugton spoke at the Bur
roughts Citizens' Association annual
banquet last night in the Taft
Junior High School, Eighteenth and
Perry streets N.E.
After declaring that “We are bur
dened with taxes,” Mr. Connaugh
ton said that “the only way to cut
taxes is to cut them, and if Con
gress can’t do it for this city, why
don’t they hand it over to us?”
Sees Opposite Interests.
The interests of members of Con
gress, he declared, are formulated
in consideration of those who elect
them.
"And their interests are opposite
to ours.”
“The Supreme Court has smeared
us around, too,” he said, referring
to the covenant decision. “There
are basic differences in people which
cause them to be separated. We
must take the word of God and
separate the diametrically opposed.
"Man cannot change the law of
nature.”
Honor guests were E. C. Merrill,
president of the Capital Transit Co.;
Arthur B. McNemey, president of
the Brookland Citizens’ Association;
Gilbert C. Vincent, president of the

Day-Old Baby's Cleft Chestbone
Joined in Rare Operation
■y th« Atsocratad rrau
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 27.—A 19
day-old baby la recovering from a
rare surgical operation which closed
a "window” over his heart, it was
disclosed yesterday.
The child, Charles Michael Koc
kensparger, was born May 8 at St.
Ann’s hospital, one of twins and
weighed 4 pounds, 8 ounces.
Doctors found he was bom with a
split sternum, or breastbone. The
heart was covered only by a thin,
transparent tissue in the shape of
a "V,” where the bone was split.
“At every breath, the heart bulged
through the thin tissue, and when
the baby cried the strain on the tis
sue was dangerous.
The next day the child was moved
to Children’s Hospital, where the
emergency operation was performed.
The hospital refused to identify the
surgeon, except to say he was from
the medical school at Ohio State
University.
The surgeon literally sewed the
breastbone together. He ran stitches
of black silk thread across the open
ing, like laces across a shoe. Then
he pulled the ends of the thread and
trie sides 01 uie uone were joined.
Because the baby was only a day
old, the bone was soft enough to
permit stitching.
The child’s first nourishment was
from an eye-dropper. He has been
gaining weight and appears to be

The hospital has found no record
of a baby living after surgery for a
cleft sternum, through a search

last 60 years. Motion pictures of the
operations were made as a surgical
record.
The other twin, a girl, was normal
at birth, and weighed 5 pounds, 2
ounces. The parents are Mr. and
