ike Will Confer
With Herter for
New Summit Time
WASHINGTON, UP) — President
Eisenhower wants to discuss with
Secretary of State Herter a pos
sible new date for an East-West
summit conference suggested by
Soviet Premier Khrushchev.
Associate Presidential Press
Secretary Anne WheateR reported
this Saturday, but said she was
unable to say when the discussion
may be held.
Herter is out of Washingon for
the holiday period, and the Presi
dent is scheduled to leave for an
Augusta, Ga., vacation.
Khrushchev accepted a Western
invitation to a conference in Paris,
but rejected the proposed April
27 date. He suggested instead that
the conference be held either I
April 21 or May 4.
In initial reaction to the
Khrushchev proposal, some Wash
ington officials expressed doubt
that either suggested date would
be acceptable because of previous
commitments by Western officials
for those periods.
The Khrushchev proposal was
cabled to Washington by U. S.
Ambassador Lewellyn Thompson
in Moscow. State Department ex
perts worked Christmas Day to
translate the Khrushchev note for
Eisenhower.'

The Two Worlds of Clarence Hathaway
By LEE BERTON
Akron Beacon Journal Writer
AKRON, Ohio, (£1 — The 4V6
year-old boy edged along a fence
as he walked to nursery school.
He looked as if he had just bitten
a tart apple.
Pinned on his sweater was a
typed note: “Before any pictures
are taken, please comb his hair
and see that he looks nice. Due
to his cold, we were afraid to
put a thin dress shirt on him.
Thank you.”
This boy with sad blue eyes
carries a load of responsibilities
on his 55-pound frame.
He must keep track of the pimp
at home, see that it doesn’t run
too long and raise the electric
bill.
He must know what to do if the
hot water heater is boiling.
He must wake himself on time
for nursery school and dress him
self.
He must be able to tell what is
in a can at the supermarket by
the picure on the label/
He must take care not to move
the furniture or appliances from
their place.
He must have patience, loads
and loads of it. And he must have
forbearance.
He doesn’t always have them.
No child would. Perhaps this is
why 'he doesn’t smile as often as
other youngsers; or hangs back
sometimes.
It is hard for Clarence Stephen
Hathaway of nearby Stow to talk
to adults — to seek their help.
He doesn’t talk to his parents.
They are both dea£ and blind.
He has normal senses.
A quie boy who generally nods
or shakes his head to answer,
Clarence raised quite a storm
when he was born February 17,
1955.
A shout of indignation arose all
over the nation when it was sug
gested it migh be better if he were
taken away from his parents. Ju
venile Court Judge Russell W.
Thomas decided no on March 7,
1955.
So Clarence shares a dark, silent
world of his parents and a bright
noisy world of nursery school
playmates.
Since he was 2, Clarence has
attended nursery school. Now he
spends five days a week there,
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Wih about 300 youngsers, he
colors with crayons, sings, marvels
at TV, builds with blocks (he likes
this best) and molds wih play
dough.
Here he can get the teacher’s
attention simply by looking at her.
He doesn’t have to tug her dress.
He can show his feelings on his
face or by the sound of his voice.
He can smile when a little girl
crawls under a table or pushes
over a rubber toy. He can scowl
when he pokes and pushes with
the other boys, and tell them to
stop.
Clarence enjoys the company
of other children. He talks up a
storm with other youngsters, bu1
teachers are trying to get him to
answer them in words beyond yes
and no. He has — once or twice.
He doesn’t talk as well as his
nursery playmates. His voice, like
his parents, has a hollow ring -—
the tonelessness of the deaf. Some
times another will tease him about
it. Such is the way of children —
and the way of the world.
But Clarence is making more
strides, says Bessie Taylor, nur
sery director. He would not even
nod or shake his head at a ques
ion when he first arrived. And he
would just scribble with crayon
on papers. Now he colors artis
tically.
Those who know him seem to
think Clarence will make out all
right. *
The clouds over tHb senses of
Harold and Georgia Hathaway,
Clarence’s parents, are more per
manent. The mother lost her sight
and hearing at 15 through illness.
Hathaway started to lose his
hearing when he was 11. Then in
1947, lost his eyesight.
The sunshine in their lives is
Clarence. They are proud of him,
hold him close to them and fondle
his face and hair.
The Hathaways “talk” by writ
ing, words in each other’s palms,
one letter a a time. Boh can type
in Braille and Hathaway can use
a conventional typewriter.
Clarence, who cannot write yet,
has developed his own sign lan
guage for his parents. He draws a
circle in their palms if he wants
a glass of water. A pat of his
father’s stomach shows he is hun
gry, and a hand on the side of
his mother’s face means he is
ready for bed.
He tells his parents it’s raining
by slapping up and down on their
wrists.
Sometimes, he can’t reach
through the veils of darkness and
silence. He may bite his lip and
try and try and try.
He is learning to accept two
different worlds. Both have their
humor and light, both their un
happiness and shadows.
In each there is love.
