Mechanical Heart Takes
Over Job For Human Organ,
Easing Surgical Operation
By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
AP Science Reporter
DETROIT WA successful mechanical heart, to give
human hearts a holiday, was announced here.
For 50 minutes, the amazing little machine pumped a
man's blood through his body.
Rumbling like a quiet washing
machine, it by-passed the left side
of his heart. It detoured the blood
coming from his lungs, and pulsed
it back into his arteries.
Empty of blood, with no work to
do, the still-beating heart was
opened to repair a faulty valve.
The man, 41, and not identified,
is alive and well today, three
months after the historic opera
tion July 3.
Only this one human success was
announced but with a bint it has
worked on other persons since.
In dogs, this same pump has
been rigged to by-pass both sides
of the heart, putting the whole
heart on temporary vacation.
In dogs, also, it's been combined
with an artificial lung to by-pass
the entire heart plus the lungs.
The heart-lung machine someday
may do the same for humans.
Surgery Task Eased
This human success marks a
milestone in medicine. With me
chanical hearts, the heart can be
laid open for new surgery, under
direct view.
With part or all the heart emp
tied, surgeons can better remove
valves or dangerously bulging
bullets or other objects, repair
weak spots in heart walls, take out
tumors, plug holes in the heart's
dividing walls. The spare hearts
might someday help save people
whose own hearts stop.
The human success was an
nounced in the Journal of the
American Medical Associatoa by
Dr. F. D. Dodrill, Dr. Edward
Hill and Dr. Robert A. Gcrisch of
Harper Hospital here. General Mo
tors engineers helped develop the
mechanical heart, and are working
nn thM artiririnl hint? for humans.
The Research was supported by!
the Michigan Heart Association.
The surgeons said their patient, w . j T- U.n;iil
Is definitely improved, but it i, -
helped him:
The sureeons opened his chest.
A tube was pushed into the pul
monary arter, which brings blood
from the lungs. Part of the left
auricle was clamped off.
The machine sucked the blood
from his auricle, then pumped it
back through another tube insert
ed into the man's aorta the
great main artery coming from
the ventricle. For nearly an hour
no blood was going through the
left side of his heart.
For 14 minutes of this time, the
surgeons had his heart open, op
erating on the valve to make it
close normally. They sewed up the
heart, later disconnected ine ma
chine.
In full operation, the spare heart
pumps 44 quarts of blood a min
ute, as the adult heart does. It
maintains even-pressure.
It is small, only W inches long,
12 inches wide. IT high. It is a
metal-encased electric motor, with
rubber tubing, glass chambers,
stainless steel valves, all working
on the principles of the human
heart.
It is really two pumps, one on
each side of the motor. One pump
can substitute for the left side of
the heart, the other pump at the
same time for the right side.
Tha Dumo Is primed with a half-
pint of donated blood. The drug
heparin is added to prevent the
blood from clotting. Later another
rims is eiven to offset the Heparin,
The tubing valves and glass can
all be easily sterilized by steam
bathing.
Troublesome Convict
not yet fully known how much he
benefited from his operation.
Rheumatic fever had left him
with an enlarged heart valve. It
failed to close completely when
the lower left chamber, the left
ventricle, of his heart pumped to
send blood into his arteries. Some
blood coursed back up through the
bad valve into the left auricle, the
upper chamber which first collects
blood coming from the lungs.
Any exercise made him short of
breath. He was seriously ill.

SALEM Wl Byron Neal Dyson,
the state prison convict who was
involved in two beat-up affairs last
week, has been transferred to the
Oregon State Hospital for observa

O'Brien said Monday
Dyson, a tuberculosis patient in
the prison hospital, beat up an em
ploye. Then some convicts beat up
Dyson, cutting a gash in his head
that required 14 stitches.
The transfer was ordered by the
prison doctor, who said the Injuries
worsened Dyson's illness. '

Man Begins 2nd
Month In Trap
On Ferry Boat
HONG KONG un Michael
Patrick O'Brien, the Irisb?-Amer
ican?-Hungarian? who went for a
ferry boat ride and can't get off,
starts his second month Saturday
on the Hong Kong - Macau sea
borne interurban which seems des
tined to become his permanent
residence.
Fortunately O'Brien is not af
flicted with seasickness but oh,
is he ever sick of the sea!
He was somewhere there Fri
day night in the 40 mile stretch
between British Hong Kong and
Portuguese Macau.
And the whole diplomatic hier
archy of this Asiatic corner of the
world was at sea too, over what
to do about O'Brien.
The man called O'Brien slipped
aboard the ferry Lee Hong Sept.
18 at Macau, without a ticket.
Likewise without passport.
The British turned up their noses
at an International Red Cross card
identifying O'Brien as a stateless
Irishman, aged 57. They didn't
question his age.
Back at Macau, the Portuguese
matched noses with the British and
O'Brien stayed aboard the Lee
Hong.
He's been there ever since
Macau to Hong Kong, Hong Kong
to Macau ...
O'Brien says he's a U. S. citi
zen. The U. S. consulate says he's
Hungarian. . .
The U. N. high commissioner
for refugees in Hong Kong says
there isn't a thing the United Na
tions can do.
While O'Brien can't prove he
belongs to any country, neither
can he prove that he is stateless.
That lift him out of the province
of the United Nations. But it
doesn't lift him off the ferry boat.

Wounded Fruit Grower
Blames Deer Hunter
HOOD RIVER I Martin
Sczuba, 43, a fruit grower, was
wounded near his home five miles
south of here Monday and he
blamed a deer hunter.
Sczuba said two shots were fired
as he sat on a log about 150 yards
from the house. The first missed,
but the second struck him in the
side. . .
Not seriously wounded, he ran
into the woods in pursuit of the
person who fired the shots, but
could not find him. He then drove
to the hospital here for treatment.

Collegiates Find
Money In Rodeo
NEW YORK Wl That lonesome
cowboy out on the lone prairie rid
ing into the setting sun on his
faithful bronco is a pretty picture
but a thing of the past.
Nowadays the kids out West
grow up, go to college, and join
the rodeo. Some of them, like liar-
lev May. a gangling cowpoke from
Deming, N.M., make a bundle of
cash out of the trade.
May, a 26-year-old graduate of
Sul Ross State College, Alpine,
Tex., won the steer wrestling con
test in the Madison Square Garden
rodeo that ended Sunday night, and
along with his triumph packed up
about $18,000. Which is not bad for
a month's work.
"This is a tough racket," he said
pocketing the check. "No amount
of training or practicing will make
a fellow a really good rodeo man.
I think it has to come naturally."
Mar has participated in about
55 rodeos this year and hopes to
get in a couple of more before
calling it a season. During most
of the Garden event, he and a
couple of other top hands com
muted from New York to Omaha
where another rodeo was in prog
ress. "That can get a fellow mighty
tired," he said. "But you have to
go where the big money is because
you can't go on forever."
Competition is tough with about
3,000 cowboys members of the Ro
deo Cowboys Association, sort of
a union. Last year there were 563
rodeos all over the country and
the boys fought it out for $1,500,000
in prize money.
Broken down, the top hands
made somewhere in the neighbor
hood of about $15,000 a year, while
Casey Tibbs, who emerged the
champion of '51, hauled down
about $45,000. This year's Garden
event had a prize list of $108,000.
