Helaine Cotan, central figure in a
"death or blindness” dilemma, said
today the infant’s family had elected
to have a jury of 12 decide what, if
anything, is to be done- for the chift.
Dr. Hershman said he*hoped the
jury could be selected in time to visit
the child at Garfield park hospital to-
morrow and teach a quick decision.
He said the jury would be made tfp
of three Rabbis, an X-ray specialist,
a brain specialist, and seven eye doc-
tors.
—The decision to let -n jury pass on
the case came after a long family con-
ference attended by Dr. Harshman,
his two sons, Seymour and Victor, both
jnodical students; Dr. Harshman's
wife; the infants distraught
Dr. and Mrs. Herman Colan,
torney Samuel Hoffman.
Helaine is suffering from
a cancerous growth which
along the optic nerves to the brain,
causing death, and for several days
members of the family have been de-
bating whether to permit an eye r^
moval operation, ‘ try X-ray treat-
ments, or let nature take its course.
Some doctors held that without sur-
gery death would ensue, probably
within two months.
Attorney Hoffman said the child’s
mother was seriously ill as a result of
her experience, that that she had
agreed, after five*hours of consulta-
tion with other members of the family
to abide by whatever decision the jury
may reach.

Washington, May 8. — President
Roosevelt looked over the troubled
international scene and called today
for “a joint effort in constructing a
new and better world order.
A message from the president, who
is returning to the capital from a
vacation at sea, was read by Secre-
tary of War Hull in an international
broadcast on “Economic Co-operation
in the Americas.”
Apparently referring to his admin-
istration’s program of reciprocal tar-
iff reductions, Roosevelt declared: i
“The government of the United
States is pledged to a course of in-,
teniational economic co-operation and
will spare no effort in loyally con-
tinuing on that course.”
He added: *
“Co-operation in the solution of
economic problems offers one of the
practical approaches to the task which
the world must undertake.
“There is a general and growing
realization that no nation or group
of nations can enjoy prisperity and
plenty when a large part of the world
is in economic distress.”
The nations of the Western Hemis-
phere, the president commented, arq.
prepared to accept and act upon these
conclusions, as tsevidencedby the
resolutions of recent inter-American
conferences.
“A start already has been made,”
he exclaimed. “Such action Is an in-
tegral part of and is in entire har-
mony with our inter-American paece
structure and the general system of
inter-American co-operation.’”
The president began his message
by remarking on the fitness of send-
ing the broadcast from the Pan-Amer-
ican Union Building, a symbol of in-
ternational co-operation.
After reading the message, Secre-
tary Hull said:
“The United States is making its
contribution through the policy of ne-
gotiating reciprocal trade agree-
. menta.—The—people and the govern,
ment of the United States are deter-
mined to carry this policy vigorously
forward.
“It is our firm conviction that there
is not in the world today a more pro-
tent force making for economic well-
being everywhere^ for social stabil-
ity within nations, and for durable
peace among nations than expanding
international trade, functioning on the
basis of mutual advantage, fair deal-
ing and non-discriminatory treat-
ment.”
