Radio Called Violation The Russians told the Ameri cans Sunday the group had been detained because it "violated the laws of the German Democratic Republic by using! a radio in a vehicle in East German territory." The Army sedan in which the group was riding was equipped with a radio for communications with U. S. headquarters. Charles Owsley, State Department political affairs chief in Berlin, rejected the Soviet contention.

He said Berlin Is a four-power city and the Americans are not bound by East German laws. Experience Harrowing However the incident raised the question of whether the Soviets will insist that the Western allies be subject to East German laws.

Records Set in State The wave held Wisconsin in a frigid grip as most of the state experienced the lowest temperatures of the season. The only exceptions were Grantsburg and the Superior Duluth regions. Most or the state had a dusting of new snow to boot Between the Lines By Tex Reynolds Story About a Huby, Plane Flights And People's Goodness MARY LYN GARBO didn't stay long on this earth.

She was born June 28 and passed away Nov. 19. But in those six weeks she took seven airplane flights between Racine and Philadelphia, underwent brain surgery at the age of eight days, and had six other operations. This Is a story that comes from her mother, Mrs. Marshall Garbo, 3016 Douglas Avenue, because the Garbo's want the world to know how grateful they are to many persons, and about the goodness that lies in people everywhere.

Before Mary Lyn's birth in St. Mary's Hospital, X-rays had indicated that she would have difficulty due to a brain impairment. Mrs. Garbo had learned about a team of surgeons, headed by Doctors Koop and Spitz at the Philadelphia Children's Hospital, who were famous specialists in such cases. So Dr.

William Konnak, the Garbo's physician in Ra cine, called Philadelphia and made the necessary arrangements. He also called United Air Lines at Milwaukee in advance to arrange transportation. And when she was 24 hours old, the baby was carried aboard a plane in Milwaukee, the youngest ever to fly on that air line, and undoubtedly as young as any child who ever flew on any line. That was the beginning of air travel for Mary Lyn and her parents. The brain surgery was successful and It seemed as though she would do all right, particularly since she was an otherwise healthy 8 pound 15 ounce baby at birth.

She was flown back to Racine. But then complications set in, and at the age of six weeks she was flown back to the hospital. The same thing happened a second and a third time. Finally, after the fourth flight to Philadelphia, she remained In the hospital, where she died after a stay of two months. "You might think of a big air line as a business corporation without a soul or any particular human feelings.

But this one certainly proved otherwise," says Mrs. Garbo. "After they had been called by Dr. Konnak, they telephoned back to in quire about the baby condition, whether it would need a doctor or a special nurse enroute. Then when my husband and sister-in-law took Mary Lyn to the Milwaukee airport for the first flight (I couldn't make the first two trips because of Illness), air line officials and attendants were waiting.

The baby was carried directly onto the plane without any waiting. Every measure was taken to make her ride comfortable. The plane flew at 9,000 feet to avoid causing her any difficulty because of higher altitudes. "AFTER the plane reached Philadelphia, United officials called to tell Dr. Konnak that the baby had arrived in good condition and had been quickly transported to the hospital.

They also called me at St. Mary'i Hospital. On all of the flights, we received the same special attention at no extra cost. And one of the nice things about it is that the air line, which could have gained much national publicity, did not take advantage of it. In fact, there were times that our arrival and departure were kept secret so that we would not be delayed or annoyed.

This Is the first time the story has ever been told." The Garbo's have reason to be grateful to many people. For Instance, those In Racine who gave blood when It was costing $30 per pint in the Philadelphia hospital (and Mary Lyn had many transfusions).

Hall said after a conference with President Eisenhower today that he felt very much encouraged about prospects that the President will run for re-election.

"So far as I am concerned. there is no other candidate," Hall told reporters after a 45-minute talk with the President in his temporary White House office here. Hall made it plain that the President himself did not say or indicate what his decision will be about a second term. "I can only speak my opinion," Hall said. "I can say I am very much encouraged." First Since Attack.

The long private talk with Hall was Mr. Eisenhower's first admittedly political con ference since his Sept. 24 heart attack. It was also the first time the GOP national chairman had seen Mr. Eisenhower since Sept 10.

Hall said his optimism about Mr. Eisenhower seeking reelection was based not only on the apparent good state of the President's health, but also "from his attitude and his Interests in what is going on interest that goes beyond today or tomorrow." "1 am happy to say that all reports about his condition have been confirmed," Hall told newsmen. "He looks a million per cent. I've never seen him look better." Predicts Nixon Too. Hall predicted the President will run in 1956 "if he feels able" and that he will defeat the Democratic candidate by a bigger margin than in 1952, when Adlai E.

Stevenson carried only nine states. Hall said he also expects Vice President Richard M. Nixon to be Mr. Eisenhower's running mate again in 1956. He emphasized that this was only his personal opinion.

Hall, who always has been optimistic about prospects for the President's full recovery and his candidacy for a second term, was asked specifically if he felt better about these pros pects after today's talk than he did before. "I feel better about it after the conference than before," he replied. HaWTflew back to Washing ton after his news conference. the "profession" he has practiced for the past five years. Hampe's story was about "boiler rooms," "pitchmen," and "sucker lists." Hansman said it demonstrated the type of operation against which the Chamber has been warning businessmen and organizations.

Hampe said he looked for organizations "willing to sell their names for a per centage." And the percentage, he explained, is usually a small one. "If the organization winds up with 20 to 25 per cent of the money raised, it's doing well," he said. Hansman said the Chamber is wary of promotional schemes where the promoters are paid more than 10 per cent, where there is not adequate control of the money by the organization, and where expenses can be padded, i Hampe. who said he was born in Chicago and lived for (Turn to Page 2, CoL 4) A bitter cold wave froze the nation from the Rockies to the Appalachians and from the Canadian border to the Gulf, Coast.

Keeping Guard Up, Says Wilson MIAMI, Florida Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wil son said this morning that the retaliatory power of the United States' armed forces "is un-equaled in the world and we plan to keep it so.

He also said that: "It is going to take years for men of good will throughout the world to establish the sound condition for a just and durable peace. In the mean time, we don't dare let down our guard." In an address prepared for the American Municipal As sociation, Wilson recalled his attendance at the recent Ge neva Foreign Ministers' confer ence, then commented: "Some people perhaps ex pected too much from that con ference."
