WATCH CHILD IN 'IRON LUNG'
GANDADO, Ariz., June 25 (UP) Nazabeth Lee, seven-year-old Navajo Indian girl, her lungs paralyzed by an injury, slumbered restfully in Arizona's "iron lung" today as medicine men and other visitors came to see her
The child fell from a reservation corral fence nine days ago and her injury developed into the paralysis which reached her lungs and threatened her life. The mechanical "lung" was brought her from Phoenix after a heroic 20-hour, 700 mile dash over unpaved desert and mountain roads by two brothers. Albert and Golden Farr, Indian truckers.
