MOTHER PRAYS FOR BUND TRIPLETS —A little
West Texas twon. Hart, burst with pride when its first
triplets—Don, Lon and Jon Sitton—were born 9 months
- ago and then turned to sorrow when it learned they were
blind. Nobody has given the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Sitton, much hope that the boys will ever see normally.
Doctors say the triplets were afflicted with a disease of
the blood vessels found mostly in premature infants.
“But I haven’t lost hope,” said Mrs. Sitton, shown above
with the boys. “I keep praying.” Because they are blind,
their sense of balance is not yet too acute and they can’t
sit alone. Otherwise they are husky and frisky. (AP)

Shivers and Butler
Meeting Arranged
LUFKIN. Tex , April 30 JA-John
. E. McKelvey, stole commander of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said
here today he had arranged a meet-
' ing in Washington next week of
Gov. Allan Shivers and Paul But-
ler, chairman of the Democratic
Party.
“The purpose of the meeting is
for them to become acquainted and
what they do is their business,”
McKelvey said.
Shivers was not immediately
available for comment
receiving about Texas Democrats
were erroneous and he had been
led to believe we were all a bunch
of red-eyed liberals,” he said he
told Butler.
To Go To Washington
The commander Mud the gover-
nor was flying to Washington Sun- •
day and he would join him there
Monday and would introduce them
sometime during the week.
Three births were reported Sat-
urday at Hendrick Memorial Hos-
