DALLAS (AP)— Every

logic, all medical science
and technology and baffles
the doctors who tirelessly
watch over him.
They call him a “miracle
baby.”
There can only be. two
reasons for this tiny in

doctor says.
“Number one is the sheer

said Dr. Dolores Carruth,

cared for Derrlc,since he

only pne-pound-seyen-

“And number two is

“When he was born, they

But survival is still

Derrie was born at Dallas
Baylor Hospital after only
24 weeks gestation. Most
babies born before 30 weeks
have a very poor chance
of survival," Dr. Carruth
said. ,
After Derric’s birth, doc
tors discovered an infection
in his mother, .Vickie War
ren. She lost one child last
November after only four
months and is determined
to take Derrie home one
day
She wants him so much,
I'm beginning to believe it,
too,” Dr. Carruth said:.
Mrs Warren held Derrie
for the first time this week,

disagreed with the company’s plan to in-
clude all construction work-in progress'
in the rate base. They have claimed it
was inequitable to require present
customers to pay for plants being built
for future use.
...... Shellman, however, has. pointed to
testimony concerning the massive con-
struction program that requires addi-
tional rate relierwithlnjn the next .12- *7
months.. Allowing the company to. in-
clude 60 percent of the construction work
in progress in the rate base, she said,
"insures that it will be able to attract the
outside capitat It' needs Lo Tontlnue its *
construction programs."
Her findings also said the company
should not be allowed to include in its
rate base $21 million in unamortized
balances resulting from cancellation of a
deal it had with Continental Oil Co. for
development of uranium New Mexiio to
fuel the Allen's Creek Unit 2, a1 proposed
nuclear-powered plant that sHL&P
canceled in- 1978 because of ecomftnic
reasons, She said the PUC refused in
1978 to allow the same charges.
Last year the commission granted
HL&P a $55 million annual rate hike out
of $175 million 'requested. The staff pro-
posed a $41 million increase then. ,

WASHINGTON - The
Chilean press, which
probably the freest in Latin
America, has been belabor:
ing President .Pinochet and
the ruling junta over the
state of the economy-;
Since-the press is, by and
large, influenced by the out
of-power Christian Demo-
cratic Party, its criticisms
are more-than medta-earp-
mg.
What the press contends
is that Pihochet’s free en-
terprise economic policies
have failed to raise levels of
unemployment, have had a
regressive effect on income
redistribution, have benefit-
ed only big business, and
had a depressive effect on
the purchasing power ,of
wage earners. But any
dispassionate examination
of the Chilean economy
proves the opposite of what
.the press claims.
Despite the unprecedent-
ed growth of! the labor force
because of an influx of.
women and young people (a
6 percent addition), unem-
ployment has declined from
a 20 percent high three
years ago to a current 12
percent, with a continuing
downward trend.
Wages, moreover, have
increased 1>y some 15 per-
cent, in real terms, in the
last three years. Wages,: in
fact, have increased at a
higher rate than the national
income. - ■
‘ The argument of exces-
sive benefits by private fi-
nancial groups is based on a
juggling of statistics. The
businesses though helping
the wage earner by keeping
prices down. Though the
government has ended price
controls in agricultural com-
modities’, it has also allowed
the importation of competi-
tive goods which have con-
tributed to lower prices.
'. ’Comparing-Statistics for
the Allende period with
those of the Pinochet
government’s, such encour-
aging factors as an increase
m the number of TV-sets_
(from 1- million to 2:7 mil-
lion) arid 'kitchen stoves
(from. 51,000 to 124.000).-in
use indicates the -rising
standard of living, v
The purchasing power of
wages can be determined by
these figures — 99.5 at the
time Salvador Allende took
office, 33.9 at the time his
dictatorship was over-
thrown, and 109.7 percent
today.
Inflation, which had
passed the 1,000 percent rate
under Allende, has been
brought down to what is
tolerable under the Chilean
economy — or 30 percent.
The foreign trade balance
has been restored. Foreign
indebtedness has been
restored, and the Chileans
are making advance pay-
ments on some of their for-,
eigri debt. Economic growth
has been spurred to a point
which would delight the
United States. And .interna-
tional trade is bringing Chile
goods which were prohibi-
tive prior to Chileans under
previous governments.
