she was excessively serere with
her flock, forced the nuns to eat
while kneeling, and, sometimes
beat them. She denied the rum-
ours vigorously; "T gave them
occasslonal slaps, as rules of the
Order provide, but that's all."
Last month, while Mother
Arcata, was in Cleveland visiting
another of her order's convents,
the Vatican sent a new mother
superior-from the larger Clare,
tier). Order-to take over San Dona
di Piave, One of the nuns there
cabled Mother Amata to fly
home. With fire in her eye, she
confronted her successor, Sister
Clara Sorge, "I have returned,"
she announced, "to take over my
convent."
Sister Clara was equally firm,
"Tae bishop has sent me here,"
she said, "You ore not my super-
ior,"
"I'll show you who is super-
ior," Mother Amata shrieked, and
that was the end of "protection
and guaranty" for the nuns of the
convent. Seven sided with Mother
Amata, fourteen with Mother
Clara. Chairs and dishes flew as
the nuns scratched and grappled
for central, Three Franciscans
from a nearby friary charged in
to break up the melee, incurring
automatic excemmunication as
soon as they set foot inside the
cloister. The battle raged on even
after two policemen and two civ-
ilians joined the peace-making
attempt.. Almost an hour after it
broke out, Sister Clara's party
beat a retreat, Next day, the Bis-
hop of Treviso's delegate announ-
ced the reduction of the rebels
to lay status and warned them to
leave the cloister. Mother Amata
was excommunicated, and the
seven men who had entered the
convent were not to be denied
church rites since they had acted
out of necessity.
Finally, Mother Amata sub-
mitted. Before dawn the next
day, her followers cleaned up the
convent, put out the garbage, and
took a train to Venice, where
they were given makeshift clo-
thes by a charitable order, No

Gypsy Rose's Latest
Shows Flops
In. New York, "The Three-
penny Opera" has been running
off-Broadway for more than six
years, and gives little sign of
slowing down. But' even with
ex-stripteaser Gypsy Rose Lee
heading the cast as Jenny. the
tart (and singing the
show's catchiest tune, "Mack the
Knife," during a prologue), a
road-company' version of the
lusty old musical flopped dis-
hearteningly in Toronto, impel-
ling the producers to cancel, a
seven-month tour. One criticism,
from John Kraglund of The Tor-
onto Globe and Mail: "Miss Lee
is too little musical and, believe
it or not, too ladylike to fill the
bill." Gypsy retorted: "I must
say he hasn't met many ladies."
Last Tuesday five of us went

My, what a thrill' it is to'watch
the huge planes come in; to' see
the passengers getting off ,' and
the -excitement of the friends
and relatives who await them.
And the .remarks one hears, tell
"a story in• themselves. For ins
stance; "Do you think we'll
know him after all these. years?"
"Look, Mummy, look, there's
Grandma!" . . . "I don't believe
he's come — I can't -see anyone
there who looks a bit like
Fred!"
We were like all the rest —
we wondered if 'we would rec-
ognize Queenie after a lapsetof
twelve Years. From a distance
we picked out first one and then
another as Queenie. But when
quite a different person came
to the Customs desk we had'rea
doubt at all. There was the
same smile, the same bright,
manner that we remernhered— -
she didn't appear changed at
all — or even tired, Soon we
were all united, greetings ex-
changed • arid then• we were on
our way. Joy and the two boys
stayed and had supper with us
and • the two little, fellows were
very friendly with this aunt
they had never seen.
When the skipper dishes were
done you can imagine how we
talked. It just seems you can
exchange more -family news in
two hours conversation than you
can in two years of letter-
writing. And then there was the
trip over, Queenie said the
flight had been smooth and un-
eventful — she hadn't even
minded the taking off or land-
ing. At eleven-thirty I suggest-:
ed it might be a good idea to
go to bed, Queenie looked at
her watch— "My goodness,"
she exclaimed, "do you know
by our time it is four-thirty in
the morning! NO wonder I'm
tired,"
For the next two days we
took short drives around the
country showing her this and
that, including Ginger Farm
with its network of cloverleaf
and high-ways with a short ser-
vice road running directly into
the farm. She was astounded at
the many changes since her last
visit. Early Friday morning aut
visitor was on her way again,
this time to Renfrew, Ottawa
and Deep River, travelling with
Bob, joy arid the two boys at
they were going to Deep Rivet
for thanksgiving. A three-huh,
circa mile drive with two little
ones in the car might be quite
an ordeal, We are hoping it
wasn't too much for her,

Some True Tales.
Of Lost-ATd-Found
While he was sitting on the
beach at a Lancashire coast re-
sort, a Yorkshireman lost his
gold watch which was inscribed
with his name and'address.
That was thirty-one years ago,
Recently, a young girl on holiday
was making a sandcastle on the
same beach each when she found the
watch,
It has been restored to its
owner, who is now nearly seven-
ty. He was overjoyed to receive
the watch as it was regarded as
a "family heirloom."
.A haulage Merchant .in Glam-
organshire found a silver watch
completely intact while loading
coal into a lorry. The owner was
traced.
He was a miner who had drop-
ped the watch in the pit many
years before.
His watch had gone to the pit-
head, passed .over ,wheels, pull- ,
ways and screens and been tip-
ped into the waiting truck with-
out being damaged.
Lost-and-found stories are al-
ways fascinating. A dream which
came true after -eighteen years
figures in one of them.
Going-to school one day in 1942
a Somerset boy lost a purse con-
taining a locket and some coins.
That night he dreamed that he
would find the purse,
, Nothing happened until last
year when, as a young farm
worker, 'he was given •the job of
clearing a ditch which was on•
the route to his old' school. •
• On turning the second- shovel- •
ful he found the• purse. The
leather had -almost rotted away
but he recovered the aocket and
coins just as his boyhood dream
had foretold,
While visiting London a Wor-
cestershire man dropped a signet
ring of sentimental value as he.
got out of a train at South Ken-,
sington, He asked a porter to
look for it but was • told later
that it could riot be found.
At that' moment a train came
in. The man explained to an of-
ficial that it was "just here that
I got out," glancing down as he
spoke. There lay the ring on the
footboard of the train that had
jug come in after making a
round of London!
• Doctor .Shartape.
Threatens .The.
The cletnand for medical care
is fast outstripping the supply.
Despite the nation's rapid popu-
lation growth, there hes been
no increase at all in the past
ton years in the number of doc-
tora graduating from medical
school. Noting this alarming
trend, Dr. Lindsley Fiske Kim-
ball, a Rockefeller Institute tells -
tee, warned recently that the
shortage may well become "ac-
ute" by 1971, This fall, only
8,000 students began the first
leg of that long, arduous, and
expensive education that the
medical profession requires. In
this special report, Assistant
Editor Joan. Braddon of NEWS-
WEEK tells how the eversgrow-
hag shortage is affecting patients
and doctors, and What is cur-
rently being done about it,
At 7 p.m, weakened by a
hysterectomy, the lawyer's wife
was given a blood transfusion
by two resident doctors, a Ger-
man and a Vietnamese. Silent-
ly, they rigged the transfusion
bottle . and inserted the needle
into her right arm. Then, just
as silently, they disappeared,
leaving the patient alone in a
well-known Washington hospi-
tal.
An hour' later, the patient no-
ticed that the, serum in the bot-
tle was separating, and the tube
seemed clogged. • Frightened, she
rang the call' button with her
free 'left hand. No one answer-
ed. The phone was just out of
reach on her right side. Bit by
bit, resting between movements,
she inched toward it, Finally at
10 tem., more than two hours
after the transfusion should
have been completed, she was
able to ,knock the phone to the
floor, and the telephone oper-
ator sent:in a nurse to see what
was wrong. She called the two
foreign doctors, but neither
spoke English, and the nurse
told the patient that there wasn't
a single English-speaking doctor
available in the hoSpital.
Now panic-stricken and with
no one to reassure her, the law-,
yer's wife watched"the two -for-
eign , doctors tinker_with the
• transfusion rig. Finaly, they got
it going., and the transfusion was
completed at midnight. °
This is a harrowing example
of the sort of experience that
will become more common as the
national doctor shortage be-
homes more acute. The doctor
shortage is not only serious in
hospitals.' la, plagues parents whe
are trying to find a doctor for
sick child at night, -residents as
rural areas that; actually have
no doctors, and, potentially, any-
body in a time of emergency.
The shortage of doctors threat-
ens the whole fabric of Medical
care, and it also exerts a ter-
rible strain on -the medical pro-
fession itself;
