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. Properly di
luted it becomes a muscle relaxcr.

saves many medical cases by per
mitting longer surgical operations.
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."

Daylight Saving
Problem Facing
Oregon Governor
SAI.EM W Governor Doug
las McKay is caught between Port
land merchants anil the farmers
over whether he should proclaim
daylight saving time for Oregon
this year.
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.
