One Day Bride Must Lose Leg Due to Cancer OKLAHOMA CITY—(/P)— A pretty 17-year-old girl, who was married in her hospital bed to her sweetheart Wed nesday, was told yesterday she must lose her right leg be cause of a malignant cancer. At first, Cherrie Lee Thompson laughed and told the doctor he was kidding her. She didn’t understand what malignancy meant. After the doctor explained, she turned to her groom of a day, La- roy Jay, 21, and said, “New see what kind of a girl you married,” and began to cry. However, Jay who is a soldier stationed at Ft. Jackson, S.C., al ready knew. He came here on an emergency leave to ask Cherrie to hurry up their marriage. Today, she underwent surgery to have her leg removed in an ef fort to stop the cancer. Sisters at St. Anthony Hospital said that after Cherrie got over the initial shock, she began “kid ding us about it wouldn’t be too bad wearing silk stockings over an artificial leg.” Battation Ags Modernize Lounge; Now It Has A TV Set Too Members of the 6th and 7th Total cost of the materials used Classifieds Groups of the AFROTC have gone to the time and trouble of making the lounge of Dorm 5 a little more pleasant for, visitors and guests.

Polish Commies Ready For Freedom From USSR WARSAW—6R)—Poland’s Com munist Central Committee was re ported yesterday to be preparing a demand that this country’s rela tions with the Soviet’ Union be Maced on a basis of full indepen dence. The United Workers - Commun ist party Central Committee, meets in Warsaw today. The decisions it takes could haye historic meaning t'or the future of the whole Ealst European Communist bloc. There are widespread reports that the Soviet and the Chinese Communist parties, sending the Polish committee letters of “fra ternal greeting,” are urging the Poles not to go too far in seeking “new ways to socialism.” Some influential members of the Polish party committee are believed op posing a move toward a position like that of President Tito’s Yugo slav party, but no one here expects their views to prevail. The reins at the moment seem to be in the hands of those who favor a Polish position like Tito’s .vyitll regard to Moseow—good relations but independence of action. Anti-Russian feeling in Poland and an obvious need for a gigantic rescue operation to ( (?save this coun try’s sagging economy seem to dic tate the line the Central Commit tee will take. Thus, responsible sources say, a resolution will be drawn up closely following the line of the Belgrade declaration in which the Soviet and Yugoslav parties renewed contacts on the basis of independence. One of the first items on the committee’s agenda is the restora tion to the Politburo of Wladislaw Gomulka, who spent several years in jail as a Titoist during the Stal in regime. His election the po§t of party secretary-party boss —■ now held by Edward Ochab, prob ably will await a full party Con gress next March. Another important item will be consideration of a new farm policy which likely will reverse the pro cess of Soviet-style collectiviza tion.
