H51 Deadly Poison Source Of Best Anesthesia In Last 45 Years; Permits Longer Operations LOS AKGELKS (AP) The greatest improvement in anesthesia in 45 years, says Dr. Forrest K. Iffingwell, in a life-Mvinfr drug developed from a deadly poison. The drug is curare, derived from a South American plant and used by savage Amazonian jungle tribes as a lethal coating for their arrowheads. In full strength it is a paralyzing poison.

Patients need not be so deeply anesthetized when curare is in jected, and thus can remain unco cious on the operating table for a longer period. Durare is employed most often in operations on the abdomen, chest and limbs, wherein muscle relaxation is important to the sur gery, he said. , "Strangely enough." he ailded, "curare does not affect the heart muscle. Its fatal effect as a poison is paralysis of the respiratory muscle. In its use with anesthe tics dates from World War II. Several synthetic forms have been developed also. A striking reduction in the death rate among babies born prema turely was reported to the conven tion by Dr. Robert f. Chinnock, assistant professor of pediatrics at the college. He credited this record to close prenatal care of mothers to eli- I minate infection and careful hand ling of the babies. Any chilu weigh ing lers than 5'i pounds at birth is regarded as premature. The mortality rate among babies at Los Angeles hospital's prema ture baby center was only 12 per cent last year, one of the lowest in the nation, Dr. Chinnock said. Ten years ago the death rate there among premature babiea was 35 percent. Some hospitals lost 32 fiercent of their premature babies ast year, said Chinnock. The pediatrician said the center has discharged alive in the past two years 23 babies weighing less than two pounds, two ounces apiece. In fact, he said: "The rel ative proportion of smaller prema ture bahiea is increasing." Dr. John E. Peterson, associate firofcssor of medicine at the col t'ge, urged physicians to watch carefully for diabetes in both old and youthful patients "since it symptoms are not always apparent ana, even wnen iney are, iney ire quently are not alarming symp toms." First, Increased volume of urine, hunger and loss of weight are symptomatic, "yet very few per sons come to the clinic complain ing of these symptoms," he sanl, adding "most cases of diabetes are discovered accidentally."

He got a ruling from Attorney General George Neuner that he can order daylight saving time any one of the four ad joining states go on daylight time. Since Califor nia will have it, that makes it sure the governor coukl proclaim it. The governor is under pressure from Portland business groups to order daylight saving time. And the farmers want to stay on standard time. A 1949 law forbids daylight sav ing time any place in Oregon un less the governor proclaims it for the whole state. He can proclaim it only In order to conform with neighboring states, and only after he finds that the state's economy and general welfare are being placed at a material disadvantage by staying on standard time. The 1949 legislature passea me law so that the state would have uniform time. But what would prevent a city from violating the law and ad vancing ist clocks an hour? ' Some state officials say that if a city went on daylight saving lime, even the law couldn't stop it. The law doesn't have any pen alty for violation. And these same state officers say Ihe law violates the home rule guarantees that the state gave to cities. Iran Put Under Martial Law TEHRAN, Iran (JPt -The Shah has proclaimed martial law in this terror-ridden, strategic mid dle eastern country whole oil riches make her position vital in the East-West cohl war. The martial law, limited to Teh ran and imposed for a period of two months, came amid a wave of rumors that new terrorism had taken the lives of Iranian officials. Une rumor, totally unconfirmed here, was that Governor-general Kgbal of Azerbaijan province on the Soviet border had been slain along with his, provincial chief of police. Even as the proclamation was broadcast, the Iranian Senate com pleted action on approval for na tionalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil company, focus of the nation alist anger which has been gener ating public tension in Iran. The presentation of the martial law proclamation to the Shah was the first action of the new cabinet formed by Hussein Ala, pro-westerner named premier after the assassination of his predecessor two weeks ago. Shah Mohammed Pahlevi took the drastic step in I move to sup press the terror which has brought the assassination of American-supported Premier A 1 1 Razmara March 7 and the shooting of the deputy chancellor of Tehran uni versity, Dr. Abdul Zanganeh. Zanganeh, shot by a young uni versity student, was reported to be still in critical condition. The shoot tig, coming on the heels of the assassination of Razmara by a member of a fanatical religious sect, fanned the public tension generated throughout this strategic middle eastern country by its anti-foreign nationalist bloc.
