Father Lost Job

By JOSEPH F. LOWRY
  Of The Bulletij$ Stajf
Pamela and Patricia Schatz,
the Siamese twins who were sep-
arated October 5 in an operation
at Children's Hospital, joined
aach other again yesterday-this
time for an auto trip back home.
It was a most pleasant drive
to 135 Park av., Carle Place.

A week after the chiidrcn. v ho
were joined by flesh and bone at
the pelvis,  were operated on
Schatz lost his job as a tool lc-
signer when' the II. E. Govern-
ment cut back defense orders.

He remained jobless unti' a
week ago, hoping to be calied
back. When things didn't pick
up, he became a salesman.
"We're just managing to l0~p
going," he said. "But that Dr.
Kcpp, and that hospital . . .
they've been wonderful."
Dr. Koop examined Pat ac
soon as her mother got her )ut
of a pink apd white sack.
"She's doing nicely," hc s;iid.'
Pam Is Nine Pounds
Pat was the smaller of the
twins, whose weight totaled 14
pounds at birth in Mercy DOS-
pital, Rockville, Long Island.
Now she tips the scales at se\ cn.
Pam, who weighs nine pour ds,
three ouncq'stayed at the has-
pita1 for further treatment.
They posed for photogrnphrrs
a half-hour, then departed in `he
arms of their parents. as Dr.
Koop offered this bit of advicls:
"Now don't treat those g rls
like hot-house children. The:.;`re
just as healthy as the average
girls their age.
"Toss them around.  Let tkcm
get the breeze. They'll be all
right."

Long Island, because the parents
of the 45day-old girls. Mr. and
Mrs. John Schatz, had more than
a reunion with Pam to cheer
about. (Pat went home ten days
ago and returned yesterday for
a checkup.)

No Surgeon's Bill

Dr. C. Everett Koop, surgeon-
in-chief at the hospilal who oer-
formed the  two-hour-and-35
minute operation, had just told
them :

"There'll be no bill from me."
And other hospital authorities
said:

"Let's not discuss the charges
now. All we're concerned with
is getting the twins started to-
ward a normal life. Perhaps, we
might take up the bill at some
later date."

Schatz said Dr. Koop and the
hospital "didn't want the word
spread around but I just can't get
over it-such wonderful hospital-

ity!"

Although Schatz didn't expect
charity, he needed it.     *
"If they had asked me to pay,
I don't know what I'd have
