Starving Babies Brought Here But Neither May Live
Two malnourished infants from a mountain shack near Knoxville were brought to Frederick County Emergency Hospital by Dr. E. F. Kefauver.

A white man in the household has faced prior charges, but local testimony stalled action. The babies rallied a bit at the hospital, while officials condemned the living conditions as inexcusable.
