(AP) — A research team says it's making progress toward developing an artificial heart that could enable thousands of people with heart trouble to lead normal lives Heart disease kills 750,000 people a year in the United States, but fewer than 50 heart transplants a year are performed because rejection of a foreign heart still remains a prob lem. Maurice White, an engineer heading a re search team at the Joint Center for Graduate Study's Artificial Heart Research Laboratories, says research on artificial hearts began 15 years ago in Richland Scientists are now trying to develop a thermal-powered system to drive an artificial heart blood pump The Richland lab — one of several doing such studies around the country — is one of two contracted by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute to work on a thermal-powered system. The institute is one of the major national health institutes of the federal government "Fifty-thousand people a year could benefit from an artificial heart and be able to return to an active life,” says White, who heads a team of seven senior engineers, two senior engineer technicians, a graduate student and an admin istrative staff Implanting of an electrical system in humans could come in four or five years, and thermal systems two years beyond that. White said in an interview He envisions artificial hearts being readily available for implant by the mid-1990s The devices would not be vulnerable to attack by the body's immunity system, and they could be produced in numbers to substantially reduce or overcome the supply problem In 15 years of research at Richland, the size of the power source has been reduced seven times from 20 liters in 1967 to two-tenths of a liter today Most of the earlier systems were implanted in animals, White said, the first one 12 years ago Each of the custom-built systems costs about $70,000, but would cost far less when mass produced for heart patients ‘ Applying mass production techniques to the current design, in ordering 100,000 units at one time, the manufactured cost would be about $1,000 apiece," for the thermal power source alone, White said Layoffs are indefinite Washlngton(AP) — The Reagan administration said Tuesday that about half of the 214,000 auto workers now on indefinite layoffs probably will never return to their old jobs Robert G Dederick assistant secretary of commerce for economic affairs, said that even when the industry recovers, there will be more than a half million fewer jobs than just four years ago Asked by reporters what the outlook is for those now on the layoff rolls, Dederick replied, "Half will go into other jobs.’’ Earlier, he told a hearing of MATH & SCIENCE MAJORS We’ll pay you over $17,000 a year while you earn an alternate B.S degree in Electrical or Aeronautical Engineering Tuition and other expenses are also paid You’ll be commissioned an Air Force Lieutenant following completion of Officers Training School We’ll send you to one of the best engineering schools in the country to earn your second degree.
