Boys Town graduates girls

BOYS TOWN, Neb. — The

ment.
“They were nothing but trou
ble when they came here,”
Hupp said Sunday. “Today
gives us something to be proud
of.
Hupp said during the gra
duation exercises, “These are
the first five graduates of both
our school and our residential
program on our campus.”
Hupp told the graduation au
dience having girls at the home
“is not a novel idea by any
means.” He quoted Flanagan as
saying in a 1943 letter, “There’s
no such thing as a bad boy or a
girl.”
Prior to Sunday, Hupp said
Boys Town had 18 girls living in
group homes on the campus, six
in a juvenile cottage in Omaha
and 159 in Boys Town’s cooper
ative youth care facilities across
the country.
Hupp said admitting girls has
raised some eyebrows among
veteran Boys Town supporters,
“but when I asked them what
they would do if they had a
daughter in the same position, it
sort of calms them down.”
Flanagan started Boys Town
65 years ago with borrowed
money and three boys from a
juvenile court and two homeless
newspaper carriers.
Education Director Donald
D. Black told the graduates Boys
Town’s academic program is a
“Cadillac in the midst of obsolete
Studebakers.”
“Had you not succeeded, we
would have been the failures,”
Black said.
Breast
surgery
too much
United Press International
GALVESTON — An Alvin
woman has filed suit against a
team of plastic surgeons, claim
ing they completely removed
her breasts instead of slightly re
ducing them as planned.
Judy Cokes, an Alvin house
wife, said in her lawsuit that a
team of doctors at the University
of Texas Medical Branch in Gal
veston assured her they would
reduce the size of her breasts to a
“C” cup during surgery.
Instead, Cokes’ lawsuit filed
Thursday said the operation re
sulted in the complete removal
of her breasts and a considerable
amount of scarring.
The woman’s lawyer, A.B.
Crowther Jr., said his client’s
personal physician recomended
she have the surgery to relieve
back pain.
Named as defendants were
Dr. Steven Maxwell, of Galves
ton, director of UTMB’s plastic
surgery department; Dr.
Emmanuel Amayo, who now
has a practice in Birmingham,
Mich.; and Dr. Joseph Alsop, of
Galveston.

gratify Reagan
ith missile statement
United Press International
ILLIAMSBURG, Va. —
idem Reagan Monday was
ribed as gratified that lead-
of the other major industrial
ers set aside their economic
ferences long enough to en-
his stance on medium-
ige missiles.
The allies, in a statement
dth a iBcd Sunday evening after S'/a
5 sevens*J rs of discussion, warned
gave jloscow against “attempts to di-
e leftha:H e the West” and expressed
ngness to negotiate “mean-
ul arms reductions.”
a further show of support
Reagan’s defense policies,
vowed to “maintain suffi-
it military strength to deter
attack.”
hite House spokesman Lar-
iSpeakes said Reagan, who
inday presided over the final
ion of the Economic Sum-
is “very pleased” by the
Ion.

“It was a very strong state-
t,” he said. “We think it’s sig-
icant. This is the first time this
up has endorsed such a stat-
nt and the first time France
1 Japan, who are not NATO
ense members, have joined
Such a statement.”
The statement was issued af-
r several hours of private talks

reduce huge budget deficits and
high interest rates.
“We are ready to work with
the Soviet Union to this purpose
and call upon the Soviet Union
to work with us,” the leaders
said.
But the statement read by
Secretary of State George
Shultz, flanked by the foreign
ministers of France, Britain, Ita
ly, West Germany, Canada and
Japan, warned Moscow:
“As leaders of our seven
countries, it is our first duty to
defend the freedom and justice
on which our democracies are
based. To this end, we shall
maintain sufficient military
strength to deter any attack, to_
counter any threat and to ensure
the peace.”
Beneath this show of unity
were signs of lingering disagree
ments over arms control and
suggestions Reagan might use
the statement to divert attention
from disputes at the summit
over key economic issues.
French Foreign Minister
Claude Cheysson said he and
President Francois Mitterrand
wanted the statement held until
Monday, at the conclusion of the
summit. The U.S.-orchestrated
timing, he said, was “a mystery.”
“We did not want this issue to
eclipse the economic measures,”
Cheysson said. “We didn’t want
this to be the first news to come
out of the summit that should be
dealing with economic issues.”
The allies declared they are
“united in efforts for arms re
ductions” and expressed the
“strong wish” an intermediate-
range nuclear missile agreement
with the Soviets could be
reached soon.
It said deployment by NATO
of 464 U.S. cruise and 108 Per
shing-2 nuclear missiles will take
place on schedule — beginning
in December — if talks fail.
“The security of our countries
is indivisible and must be
approached on a global basis,”
the statement said. “Attempts to
avoid serious negotiation by
seeking to influence public opin
ion in our countries will fail.”
The statement echoed
Reagan’s rejection of Soviet de
mands that 162 French and Brit
ish missiles be counted as part of
the NATO arsenal in the Gene
va talks on intermediate-range
missiles.
“Attempts to divide the West
by proposing inclusion of the
deterrent forces of third coun
tries, such as those ofFrance and
the United Kingdom, will fail,”
the statement said. “Considera
tion of these systems has no
place in the INF negotiations.”
The smartest move
you ean make.

Rooster silence by surgery
United Press International
SALT LAKE CITY — Hank
iathaway says a delicate opera-
ion will help him get around a
aise ordinance banning roos
ts from inside the city limits
ecause of their early morning
xk-a-doodledoos.
Hathaway obtained the Ara-
ma rooster for his flock of 17
tens. But the law has forced him
to keep the bird on a Murray,
Utah, farm because its crowing
violates the city’s noise statute.
Chickens, which do not crow,
are not affected.
“I’ve enlisted the help of the
University of Utah baseball team
to take the rooster to Fort Col
lins, Colo., where a veterinarian
will perform an experimental
operation to remove its vocal
cords,” Hathaway said.
