Sen. McCarthy Predicts Need
For Price, Wage Control
CHICAGO <A>)_Sen. Eugene J.
McCarthy, dropping into Chicago
to raise some money for his cam
paign, told business men Wednes
day that if the Vietnam war con
tinues to escalate the nation will
have to plan for credit, price and
wage controls.
The Minnesota Democrat took
part of the day off from cam
paigning in Wisconsin for his
April 2 primary challenge of
President Johnson. He made a
fund-raising appearance and a
speech in Chicago—and talked by
telephone wth Mayor Richard J.
Daley, a supporter of Johnson.

A Harvard-Texas A&M debate

The English Department fac

junior finance major from Mid
land, and Bob Peek of Jacksboro,
sophomore in journalism, will
represent A&M and argue the
affirmative.
Harvard University debaters
Ronald Luke of Dallas and Ed
ward Jones of Fredericksburg,
Va., will take the negative side
of the question. Luke is an inter-
mini-revolt in his “children’s
crusade.”
Asked about the resignation of
his campaign press secretary,
Seymour Hersh, 30, and Hersh’s
assistant, Mary Lou Oates, 23,
McCarthy said: “I don’t look
upon this as a serious loss to my
campaign . . . We’ll survive.”
Hersh is a free lance writer
and a former reported for The
Associated Press in Chicago and
Washington. Miss Oates was a
newswoman.
Their duties were taken over
Wednesday by Paul Gorman, 38,
who had been a speech writer for
the campaign.
McCarthy spoke before busi-

“Harvard is one of very few
schools in the U. S. that offers
credit courses in debate,” Archer
noted.
The Cambridge institution stu

Southwest. Jones and Luke will
debate at seven other Texas
schools, including the University

McCarthy, a memoer of the
Senate Finance Committee, said
if the cost of war rises to $50
billion a year the nation would
have to be prepared to move to
ward some kinds of wartime con
trols—and not the surtax now
proposed by the Johnson admin
istration.
He said some action would
have to be considered on credit
controls and on wage and price
controls.

Blood Transfers
Keep Girl Alive
PONTIAC, Mich. (A>) _ Five-
year-old Sally Harrington, suf
fering from an often-fatal blood
disease, has been kept alive for
six months with 800 pints of
blood. If the transfusions—up
to 50 pints a week—can be kept
up, her doctors think she may be
cured.
The dark - haired, blue - eyed
Sally lives in danger around the
clock and has been confined to a
padded bed since last September
at St. Joseph’s Hospital in this
Detroit suburb.
Her mother, Mrs. Emmanuel
Harrington, says it takes 50 pints
of blood a week to keep Sally
“full of pep and looking like
nothing was wrong with her.”
Her need for blood has prompt
ed several hundred people in the
Detroit and Pontiac area to do
nate for her.
She has aplastic anemia, a
leukemia-like disease, in which
the bone marrow fails to produce
necessary blood components. Her
mother says few ever has sur
vived it long as Sally.
But there is hope now.
“If she can just stay in there
long enough, they know for sure
they can cure her,” said the

On Saturday
The A&M Chapter of Phi Zeta,
the national honor society of vet

annual initiation beginning at 7

The ceremonies will be fol

Parks Department will be the
speaker.

mother, wife of a General Mo
tors foreman.
Recent bone marrow tests, Mrs.
Harrington says, indicate Sally’s
marrow is beginning once again
to produce both red and white
corpuscles, and equally impor
tant, that the marrow’s platelets-
making mechanism may start
working again.
Platelets cause the blood to
clot. Without them a minor cut
could cause a hemorrhage and
death. The goal is to keep Sally
alive until she once again makes
her own platelets.
Although doctors say Sally
isn’t yet producing enough red or
white blood cells, her mother
says the chance of bleeding is, to
her, the big threat.
Only a nosebleed caused a scare
last week.
