Inland Steel's chairman of the Surviving Siamese Twin Is at Home Learning to Live as Normal Boy Contributors to Bennett Building Fund Listed that freed the twins and has cared for Rodney here at. the University of Illinois Hospital, where the child has spent most of his life. Rodney has been In Ferris since May 6 and will remain with his family about a month or six weeks, Grossman said. "A hospital is no place for a boy," he added.

"His visit is as therapeutic as anything else that has been done for him," Grossman said. "He must learn who his parents are and who his brothers and sisters This fact is Rodney's last ma-jor handicap stemming from the operation Dec. 17, 1952, which separated the little boy from his brother, Roger Lee. The children had been born joined at the top of their skulls. The operation that cut them apart was the first of its kind in medical annals! However, Roger Lee, the weaker of the two, died Jan.

20, 1953. Rodney's fight to become like other little boys was related Thursday at a news conference by Dr. Herbert J. Grossman. Grossman, a pediatrician, participated in the 12-hour operation Chicago (UP) Rodney Dee Brodie, a good-looking, 32-month-old youngster who survived an historic separation from his Siamese twin brother, is back home learning to live like a normal boy.

He Is finding out how to walk and to play with his two brothers and two sisters In their parents' home at Ferris, HI. His doctors say his progress is "dramatic." However, the little boy must still wear a plastic helmet to protect his skull. There is an area about one and a half times the size of a man's hand which is covered only by skin. Good Times Talk Being Heard in Business Circles BY SAM DAWSON New York (AP) Businessmen are talking up good times today. They are doing so in the face of current statistics which as yet don't prove their thesis; The national figures on production and jobs and sales show merely that, after months of sliding, their decline now has slowed down.

But many businessmen are saying that although the pace of trade and manufacturing isn't feverish now, and may even drag a little in the hot months, prospects for good times are good. Here are some of their predictions of the last day or two: U. S. Steel's chairman, Benjamin F. Fairless, says business has picked up a little in recent days and he looks for his company's rate of production, which has risen to better than 70 per cen of capacity, to hold around Lare so that he can take his right place in society as a happy and effective human being." Rodney has trouble using his left side and still needs a helping hand to walk.

But he can talk in a little boy's short sentences and likes to tear up books, listen to records and play with trucks, cars and airplanes all normal characteristics of boys his age. Grossman said doctors are still stymied by the "fantastic" problem of how to cover Rodney's brain. They may solve the problem within months, or it may take years, Grossman said. Perhaps, he said, it can never be done. Ideally, Grossman said, only Rodney's own bone should be used for grafts.

Doctors are afraid of the results of a plastic or metal covering. Whatever the solution, Rodney EL-BA FARMS introduces the best in SOFT ICE CREAM The Smithsonian, yearbook of the Smithfield-Bidgebury-L'lster Joint High school, has been distributed.
