Good Fortune-Baby Girl Is Perfect
Eighth in a series of 12
articles excerpted from
‘‘Pat and Roald,” inspir
ing story of actress Pa
tricia Neal’s remarkable
recovery from a series of
massive strokes.
By BARRY FARRELL
Distributed by NEA Speciol Services
Lucy Neal Dahl was born
at 8:23 a.m., August 4, 1965,
one hundred and sixty-nine
days after Pat’s stroke.
Nesta Powell, a senior
nurse, and a close family
friend, laid the small bundle
in the crook of Pat’s right
arm so that Pat, rising up
on her good left arm, could
glimpse the pinched red face.
“0000, Lucy, you’re my
last baby,” she cooed.
“You’re good and you’re
fine and you’re my last
baby.”
Pat’s labor had lasted less
than four hours and the birth
was easy and uncompli
cated.
“It wasn’t like birthing a
baby at all,” Pat kept say
ing. She felt fresh and
euphoric, and against the
white hospital linen her face
looked radiant and suffused
with healthy color.
During the summer I had
almost forgotten what a
beauty Pat was. It was her
mood, some clue to her feel
ings, that I had searched for
in her face, but found pain
and the nearness of death
there—above all, loneliness,
a loneliness that defied me
to look more deeply.
But seeing Pat now, this
joyous, glowing, intensely
Gore Charges US
Escalating In Laos
By JOHN HALL
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Sen.
Albert Gore, D-Tenn., says he
may release secret transcripts
showing an “exceedingly dis
turbing” escalation of U.S. in
volvement in the civil war in
Laos.
Gore told the Senate Monday
the Nixon administration was
“deliverately concealing” esca
lation of the war.
He said he would not discuss
any specific material in the
transcript “at this time.” But he
told newsmen later: “I would
not rule out the possibility of
exercising my prerogative as a
Senator to discuss the hearing
record on the floor."
The transcripts of the hear
ings, conducted last year by the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee’s special subcommittee
on U.S. commitments overseas,
have not been released because
of a dispute between Senators

The name Lucy Neal was
considered a winning choice
when the baby girl finally
arrived.
beautiful woman, I realized
that I had thought of her as
ravaged and wounded until
this moment.
I had often seen Pat smile
as broadly as this, but it was
always as though she were
smiling through. Now her
smile was no longer cour
ageous: it was triumphant.
“You look marvelous,
Pat,” I said.
“I tell you I feel wonder
ful,” she said. “I can’t re
member when I’ve felt so
good.”
Sleeping pills were decreed
all the same, and after Nesta
had wheeled Pat back to her
room, Roald quizzed Dr.
Hawksworth very closely.
“Absolutely nothing to
and the State Department over
what should be censored. Gore,
a member of the committee but
not the subcommittee, sat in on
some of the meetings.
Gore charged on his own
authority that “we are engag
ing now in a civil war in Laos
and we have chosen sides just
as we did earlier in Vietnam.”
And despite a pledge by
President Nixon to reduce U.S.
involvement overseas, Gore
said, the United States had
“increased our involvement and
our presence in Laos and the
government refuses publicly to
admit it.”
“At the very, very least, it is
a blow to public confidence in
what their government tells
them when the government
deliberately conceals deep and
escalating involvement in a
foreign war,” he said.

said from behind his half
moon glasses.
“Nothing whatever to
worry about, absolutely noth
ing at all. We had a moment
or two there because of the
foetus’ position; a bit curled
around, you know, but really
nothing out of the ordinary.
Simple enough, everything
fine, the baby fine, a good
size, no lumps or bruises.
Just the tiniest scrape on
one cheek. But nothing,
really—a perfect baby. Your
wife, as you saw, feels fine.
It couldn’t have gone bet
ter.”
“What about the cheek?”
“Oh, that’s just a small
scrape, gone in a week with
no trace. The baby’s head is
perfectly formed, unusually
so, really. Rather serene.
And terribly pretty, of
course.”
I called the newspapers
and wire services while
Roald called his sisters and
his mother (“Of course!”
she said. “I told you it would
be a girl months ago!”), and
then sent telegrams to Pat’s
mother, her Aunt Maude,
and a few friends in Los An

THE DOCTOR SAYS
Snowmobile Accidents
Are on the Increase
By WAYNE G. BRANDSTADT, M.D.
/ -
It is estimated that one
million snowmobiles are in
operation this winter. This
relative newcomer is capable
of a speed of over 40 miles
per hour. In the far north,
the vehicle is rapidly replac
ing dog sleds. Each new
model is faster than its
predecessor. A European
machine is now reported to
make 102 m.p.h. over a
frozen flat surface.
As an inevitable result, ac
cident rates among snow
mobile operators are in
creasing. The most frequent
injuries are fractures of the
legs, lower back and ribs,
the latter often complicated
by perforation of a lung.
When one is injured outdoors
in winter the cold aggravates
the shock and adds to the
danger.
Most accidents occur when
the driver or a passenger is
thrown from a machine that
has hit a snow bank, rock,
stump or other hard object
since the vehicle tips over
easily. The fact that low ob
structions may be covered
by a blanket of snow in
creases the danger when the
vehicle is being driven over
unfamiliar terrain. Anyone
who plans to run a snowmo
bile should master safe driv
ing techniques as the first
order of business.

Explorer Scout
Survives Cold
GATLINBURG,Tenn. (UPI)- •
Explorer Scout Geoffrey Hague
spent his second night lost in
the Great Smoky Mountains
Monday night, but alive, despite
subfreezing temperatures and a
foot or more of snow.
Bloodhounds were brought in
to the search late Monday and
officials planned to use them
again today. Searchers hoped
for a break in the weather that
will allow an air search to be
gin.
Searchers from five rescue
squads, guided by 15 national
park rangers, canvassed more
than 30 miles of wilderness
trails Monday, but found no
dominoes when Roald and 1
returned to the hospital. She
still looked rosy and exult
ant,, and her room was al
ready crowded with flowers.
Roald proposed a drink,
and we settled down to a
long conversation that con
sisted mainly of rolling
Lucy’s name over our
tongues; it was a pretty
name, which the parents
were proud of— Lucy Neal
Dahl.
With Olivia, they had gone
perhaps just a step too far,
giving her the middle name
of “Twenty” for no reason
other than the beauty of the
word.
“Tessa” they praised as a
smooth recovery from their
foolish choice of “Chantal,”
and they raved about “Theo”
and “Ophelia”—solid, pretty
names which were unique
without being the least bit
recherche.
But “Lucy Neal” was in
many ways the best name of
the lot. It would ring firm
and true on both sides of the
ocean, and using the Neal
family name would be man
na to Pat’s mother. The men
tion of Mrs. Neal reminded
them that this would be a
good time to call. By the
time the transatlantic con
nection was made, Pat had
grown tired and her mother
had already heard the news
on television. But “Lucy
Neal” went over just as well
as they knew it would.

Dramamine and other reme
dies for motion sickness but
to no avail. Is there any sure
cure for this disease?
A—Some of the newer anti
histamines are said to be
more effective than Dram
amine. These include meth
amphetamine (Fetamin),
promethazine (Phenergan),
diphenhydramine ißena
dryl), pheniramine (Trime
ton) and the closely related
antinauseants — trifluproma
zine (Vesprin), meclizine
(Bonine), cydizine (Mare

(Tigan). In addition to these,
two drugs that are a combin
ation of an antispasmodic
and a sedative (Butibel and
Donnatol) may serve this
purpose. All are prescription
drugs.
To be effective the drug
should be taken about 30
minutes before take-off.
Furthermore, you should eat
very lightly before depar
ture. Avoid alcohol and, once
you are airborne, avoid look
ing at the horizon. Instead
either read or close your
eyes and relax.

The snow hampered the use

he’s able to move around, may

keep moving he might find his
way to a paved road.

William Hague of Morristown,
has had two years of scouting
experience and carried a sleep

Death Penalty Bill
Faces Senate Action
By MARCIE RASMUSSEN
ATLANTA (UPI)-A bill to
abolish the death penalty in
Georgia faced action today in
the Senate. House members pre
pared to get back to passing
bills after a marathon session
Monday to approve the state's
first billion-dollar budget.
The capital punishment bill
by Savannah Sen. William
Searcey would provide 99-year
terms for crimes now punished
by the electric chair and would
not take effect unless the gov
ernor and the state’s voters
okayed it.
While the House ground out
an appropriations bill that in
cludes provisions for a SSOO aver
age teacher pay raise but no
money for kindergartens, the
Senate Monday approved all but
one of Gov. Lester Maddox’s
more than 300 appointments in
its first public confirmation ses
sion.
The only appointee who was
not confirmed was Edward Lee
Martin of Gainesville, briefly a
member of the State Board for
Children and Youth until he
called Senate action on a bill
“a shame and a disgrace.”
Martin criticized the chamber
for passing a bill to strip Wel
fare Director William Burson of
his administrative powers and
demanded the Senate apologize.
After Maddox suggested he re
sign, Martin indicated he would
step down but apparently
changed his mind. The vote was
6-48 against him.
The proposed House-passed
constitution was the subject of
a private meeting between Lt.
Gov. George T. Smith and
members of the Senate Judici
ary Committee, which today re
sumed its efforts at rewriting
the document.
Sources said Smith pressed
for a negative vote from the

committee to kill the constitu

Chairman Robert Smalley was
irritated with Smith for trying
to tell the committee what to
do.
Smith was reported to predict
that the constitution would die
in the Rules Committee or on
the Senate floor if it made it
through Smalley’s committee,
and he urged a vote be taken
before Thursday.
