Damages Sought After Operation In Kansas Suit
A $50,000 damage suit filed in Wichita District Court names Dr Marshall A Brewer and Leland Nordling as defendants. Katherine G Owen of Elma Washington alleges the operation on her then minor son Richard Michael in Ulysses on August 3 1954 was performed without parental authority and was dangerous and ill advised given the child's frail health. The suit claims the procedure incapacitated the boy and that Nordling acted as agent, interfering with custody and denying return in court. Owen was injured and her husband killed in a Washington highway crash years earlier, leading to custody disputes with Nordlings who refused to surrender the boy.
