SACRAMENTO, Calif. Gov. Earl Warren of California has refused to extradite Mrs.

Rosemary Hill, wanted in Nebraska on a child-stealing charge. Mrs. Hill, a resident of Orinda, is accused of taking nephew, 6-year-old Louis Broz, to California from Wilber, Neb. Warren in urging against extradition Tuesday traced the incident to "a family situation." LETTKK TO PETEKSOy In a letter to Gov. Val Peterson of Nebraska, Warren snid Mrs, Helen Broz, mother of Louis, had given her sister both written and oral permission to bring the child here.

While it was done without the consent of the husband, Sidney M. Broz the governor said facts show lie was notified very shortly afterward. He added: "The child was returned to his mother where he is at the present time. There appears to be nothing of a fraudulent or forceful nature in this case other than that the child was taken while on its way to school." Warren said Broz brought a divorce action in Wiiber, but apparently did not press it and took no action to obtain custody of his son. Mrs.

Broz filed for divorce in California and obtained temporary custody of the boy after he was taken from Nebraska by her sister. DIVOUCK MATTER' The governor said he disliked to reject any extradition request, but that "this obviously is a divorce matter to bo determined by the civil'courts." "If anything should develop in the course of the proceedings which is contrary to the facts above," he wrote Gov. Peterson, "I would be willing to reconsider the application if the state of Nebraska is still desirous of returning Mrs. Hill." The boy was on his way to school last Jan. 8 when he was whisked off in a car with two women.

Rosemary Hill was named in a child-stealing complaint filed immediately afterward. The boy's mother is stewardess on a trans-Pacific airline. WESLEYAN CHORUS Wesleyan male capolla chorus will present a public program in the Beatrice Centenary Methodist. Church Thursday evening'at. 8 o'clock.

Ml One of the great potential revolutions in medical science was disclosed Wednesday. Three sick men and women have been given glands transplanted from very premature babies to turn out hormones for new health. It is an amazing and promising experiment in giving humans new spare parts.

It may lead to many now methods of treating a variety of diseases. Litte pieces of glands were taken from unborn babies and put into stomach muscles of two men and a woman. The men got, adrenal glands because their own adrenals had stopped making hormones, including cortisone. The woman got a thyroid gland, after her own control diabetes without insulin, a gland hormone; to replace sex glands, to control thyroid diseases, even perhaps control some kinds of cancer. New glands might come from animals as well as humans.

Humans mifiht be able to.replace wornout or lost sex glands, realizing the monkey gland experiment 30 years ago of the late Dr. Serge Voronoff, Human or animal bodies might supply successful transplants of nerves or blood vessels or other spare parts that would take root and slay alive or grow. The big secret is using embryonic or other parts from very young, unborn'humans. Only embryonic tissue and some i cancer tissue can be transplanted sick thyroid was removed.

McWain, 301 Thayer going south, entered a one-way path about the same time.

Sheriff "Ned" Maxwell said neither could judge the distance of the other, because the fog cut visibility to nearly zero, McWain braked to cut his speed, but skidded on the ice. So he turned his right front wheel into the snow in an effort to slow down, This "jack-knifed" the vehicle, and tjie trailer swung into the path of the auto. The left side of the auto was Maxwell said, but the trailer was barely dented. Hartwig's mother, riding with was slightly injured, but did not have to be taken to hospital, the sheriff re- Progress Or Decay, Meehan Tells Lions "There is no such thing as a status quo city either progresses or decays, It is up to the people of Beatrice which way their city will move.

Senators Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla) and Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn) are the Democrats on the presidential ballot.
