Vaughan Cites Need For Unity ‘The challenge of our time is to build a greater America in keeping with American tra ditions,” declared Theo L.

FDR Favored Him ForVice-President Spartanburg, June 9.—South Oarolina’s four candidates for governor wound up the second week of a statewide speaking tour here today, generally voic ing the same vote-seeking themes. An audience estimated at 1,000, the largest of the poli tical season, turned out to hear James F. Byrnes, Marcus A. Stone, Lester L. Bates and Thomas H. Pope. Candidates for other contested statewide offices also spoke.

Suicide Shown On Television Apparently despondent over the condition of his son, Bailey Twente, 6, who is a patient in the Anderson Hospital, Stam ford B. Twente, 30, took his own life at a ball field in Hous ton, Texas, while thousands of television fans Looked on. The rash act was committed a few moments after Twente entered a television booth and told Richard Gottlieb, a tele- caster, he wanted to tell him something. A moment later hev pressed a revolved to his fore head and pulled the trigger. Although Mi'. Twente left a note indicating that worry over die condition of his son was the cause of his rash act, facts are that he had no cause to be dis turbed. The boy was struck and injured by an automobile on Tuesday, May 30, near his home at 221 East Church street, out is now well along the road to recovery. His physicians say ne will not be handicapped in any way. Twente evidently planned his suicide. When he told Gott lieb he wanted to tell him something, Gottlieb nudged him aside and whispered “not now.” Lwentd then seated himself be tween the engineer and the television engineer, Lee Ben nett. Just as Bennett tried 1 to get him to leave the box, Twen te pulled out a revolver, shot himself and fell across the en gineer. The TV camera was focused on the Houston dugout and lis teners saw the Houston players suddenly turn and look to ward the press box. The cam era then swung toward Gott lieb who told his audience. "La dies and gentlemen, a tremen dous thing has just happened. A gentleman has just shot him self. I return you now to the studio.” Twente died about two hours later in a hospital.

Rigdon, chief surgeon at I, ’ n .eod Infirmary there, is making it possible for cancer and tuberculosis patients to get relief or cure without having to go to large medical centers. Dr. Rigdon, a general surgeon* has made a “hobby” of thoracic surgery. He is not a specialist, but one of his main interests is surgery of the chest and ab domen. “Thoracic surgery,” he ex plained, “is a new field that has had its major developments in the years immediately prior to, the years during, and the few years since, the last war.”" This new type surgery has yielded amazing results in the cure of cancer and tuberculosis. They are effected by removing all or part of the diseased or gans. Dr. Rigdon said one of the main attractions of thoracic surgery was the good it could) do in such a short time. "For example,” he said, "a patient suffering from tubercu losis or cancer of the lung' can be up and well in months ra ther than years through tht medium of a pneumonectomy (lung operation). “A ipatient having tubercu losis in one lung can have this lung, or the infected part of the lung, removed and be cured in a short period of time. In many cases, a patient with this lung tuberculosis has to stay in bed for years. A pneumon ectomy can reduce this time to months.” Perhaps the most unusual op eration included in thoraciq surgery is the cancer operation on the esophogus—or "gullet.” Dr. Rigdon has performed this operation in the Florence hos pital. He said there are (frequent cases of cancer of the esopha gus. This cancerous growth slowly closes up the esophagus and the person swallows Calhoun Body of Baton Rouge, La., will' return to his home this morning (Frday), after having spent a week iin New berry, visiting has sister, Mrs. H.

The operation is really two in one, he explained. He said an incision is model near the stomach. After this part of the 'body is cut open the) stomach is released from all other tissue. The stomach is freed from all attachments that hold it in place. The second phase of the oper ation involves an incision on the side of the chest. After this chest opening is made, the stomach is moved up into thq Chest in the area occupied by the lungs in the diseased por tion of the esophagus is sewed to the "stump” otf esophagus remaining.
