MADISON, Wls., April 15

happened, but it’s a personal
matter I have to work out my

The Crown Point (Ind.) girt
is a dedicated aerialist who
looks on her mishap as a pro
fessional lapse. "You get sort
of mad at yourself because you
should have known better?’ she
said.
Mary Lou perched on a sofa
in a sun room in the hospital
and gestured as she sought the
words to explain her feelings.
"I guess it’s just your pride,”
she said.
Reports From Others
"Look if you write an article
and it's not quite the way it
shoqld be, you're not going to

wrong with it—you have to
work it out yourself,” she said.

started dancing lessons as a
young girl and progressed into
tumbling and acrobatics.
The youngest of three
children of Steelworker Louis

She met some trapeze artists
through an unlocked window.
Young O’Connor was held

Will her parents try to keep
her on the ground after her
accident?
"Well, I don’t suppose they
really like it.” her sister, Mrs.
Norma Jean Kleinhammer,
said. “It’s ,a dangerous pro

likes to do, so . . .*’
Will Mary Lou be afraid
when she goes up again?
"Os course not,” she said.
"There’s nothing to be afraid
of—l’ve never fallen before
and don’t intend to again.
"I know it’s dangerous, but
when you’re working you’re
concerned with doing the work
properly,” she explained. “It’s
like driving a car, you try to
do it properly.”
Mary Lou landed almost in
the laps of ringside spectators
at an afternoon performance
of a Shrine circus.
“When I woke up in this
hospital I thought, *Oee whiz,
I blew the show,"* she said.

Diefenbaker
Gives Pearson
Reins Today
OTTAWA, April 15 *LAP).—
Prime Minister John Diefen-
Baker meets with Lesser B.
Pearson today to arrange the
transfer of power to a new
Liberal government for Canada.
The conservative leader gave
up Saturday and wired congrat- ;
ulations to Mr. Pearson after
results of the vote from Cana
dian servicemen and their wives
and veterans in government J
hospitals was announced.
The delayed vote handed the
Liberals two more parlia
mentary seats to add to the 128
they had won in the election
last Monday. This left the
Liberals three short of a major
ity in the 365-seat House of j
Commons.
Confusion in the ranks of the 1
Social Credit Party threatened 1
Mr. Pearson's chances nf eking .
out a declared majority through
support of the minority group.
But Social Credit leaders indi
cated he could count on their
support on most issues.
Six Social Credit members
announced Friday they would
support the Liberals, giving
them a majority of seven.
Later, Dr. Oay Marcoux, §ocial
Credit floor leader in the last
Parliament, said three of the
six had been misled and wished
to have their names removed
from the list.
But one of the three, Robert
Beaule of Quebec, said he and
most Social Credit leaders from
Quebec, who make up the bulk
of the party's Commons mem
bership, favor supporting the
Liberals.
The deputy Social Credit
leader, Real Caouette, said
there Is no rift in the party
and that it will help the Lib
erals "as much as we can to
the benefit and interest of the
people.”
A Social Credit caucus is
scheduled for tomorrow, ap
parently to try to clear up the
confusion and work out a uni
fied policy.
