(States- ". ' man Photo.) Mi.' - ;- i - - ! WDCDQ3 This revival of the "dead ex cites Interest. What do they have to' report, those who see fain gly were gone but by the skill of phy sicians were restored to life? . w .-. In the most recent case no re port of the patient's experience may be had, because he remains unconscious. This case, reported from Long Beach, involved a man who was injured and apparently dead, .when surgeons made a chest-section, and ; massaged his heart until it resumed regular pul sation and the patient began again to breathe. The period of "death" was estimated at about 20 minutes, the longest "dearth-gap" In medical history. The patient survived physically but was . still unconscious . 24 hours after the operation. Doctors report the brain cells suffer quickly unless they get fresh supply of oxygen, and the. patient's brain tissue may be impaired so he will have complete amnesia. , ! s There have been a number of other cases where after much shorter intervals heart action was renewed and life returned to the functioning. Those who passed through the experience have : had nothing to report. Their mental record was a blank, Lt was -as though they were in a dreamless sleep. - Does this give us any lieht on the doctrine of immortality? Does human existence ; terminate in blankness? The evidence in the medical1 cases is negative; but that Is not conclusive because it may , be said that the person was not dead, that if his soul, in the lan guage of the creed, had pastedJn to glory there could be no eartnl: ixmg iseacn case where the body is auve dui tne minn i Tint func tioning. Hasthe soul of the man departed? One may get lost In a lot of speculation in pursuing these questions. The simple answer, perhaps, is just this, that death is not final until the chance of renewal of life passes. When that period is passed death draws a veil we cannot pen etrate. . . I Belief in immortality remains a - matter of faith, faith based on the Gospel narratives and the teach ings and experience of Jesus, and on the reasoning that it Is the logi- a ... 7Z cai expectation ior Deings witn the intelligence -of humans. The re ports we get from these individ uals who have been snatched out of the very, throat of death offer no confirmation i of this faith: neither do Jhey disprove it.

' j ' Sir Henry's secretary and chauf feur and 13 soldiers in his armed escort were wounded as his con voy nosed around an "S" turn on a mountain road north of Kuala Lumpur, capital of the Malayan federation. Lady Gurney. whose car was following the convoy, threw her self on the floor and escaped in jury.. I ' Bold Cenrage Eyewitnesses said the 53-year- old Sir Henry was a victim of his own bold, yet calculating show of courage. More than any other om cial, it was his habit to travel the remote roads and jungle paths to see for himself hew the war was going in this rich tin and rubber country. A lean, cold-eyed administrator who was chief secretary of. the British Palestine government when the Arab-Jewish strife in the Holy Land was at its height, Sir Henry was a stickler for correctness. He insisted on flying his pennant even though he knew it marked his car for snipers. Week End of Rest The high commissioner and his party were driving from the steaming heat' of the Malayan capital for a week end of rest at Frazers hill, a resort north of the city. A large band opened a heavy automatic fire from a jungle hill side 50 yards away when the three-car convoy was about two miles from a mountain pass lead ing to the hill station. Mohamed Rashid, a wounded Malay police constable, said Sir Henry staggered from his Rolls Royce sedan and fell face down ward on the grass after the first burst The slaying was a shocking blow to Britain's forces in Malaya. ' Apprentice Sets Example as Chest Donor The story of a low-pay appren tice, who gave a' lesson in giving to a well-paid fellow worker, was told Saturday by a solicitor for funds in the $120,000 Community Chest campaign. The well-paid worker changed his contribution from $1 to $20 after the apprentice said he felt he should give $5 because one of the agencies sharing in the, funds was caring for his orphaned bro ther and sister. Edward Majek, Salem campaign chairman, said this type "of giving and others was adding to the more than $44,000 collected by volun teer workers by Friday night Majek said the governmental divi sion, just getting underway with its goal of $12,000, was expected to carry the next report near the 50 per cent marie Meanwhile other division's were rolling ahead with their campaign to fill Community Chest coffers for the support of 23 sharing agencies, all dependent on drive funds. Agencies sharing; in the state chest funds include Boys and Girls' Aid society. Catholic Child Care, Child ren's Farm Home, Albertina Kerr Homes, Mental Health Association of Oregon, Salvation Army White Shield Home, Oregon Prison ' as sociation, Volunteers of America. Mothers' and Children Home, Waverly Baby Home, YMCA Youth in Government and United Defense.

Use of money from the state industrial ac cident fund to buy Oregon's vet erans bonus bonds would be il legal, F.: H. Young, manager of Oregon business and tax research, said yesterday. In a telegram to State Treasurer Walter Pearson, Young said the money would be diverted from its Intended use by buying the bonds and there also would be an interest loss because the veterans' bonds pay . less J interest than bonds in which state money now is invest ed. Accident commission investments would have to be sold to buy the bonus bonds and that would take money from the fund Intended to "pay death, widows',, orphans and other Industrial benefits," Young said. i Use of state money to buy veter ans' bonds recently was supported by Pearson and Gov. Douglas Mc Kay If the bonds could not be sold to brokerage houses. The governor discussed the bond program yesterday with Charles E. Wilson, defense mobilizer. The na tional, voluntary credit restraint committee recently held that the bonus would' be inflationary. . Wilson! said he would decide by next Thursday whether he would back the committee.

MflVTele vision aids to plane landings are among the innovations that will be built into the world's largest car rier, the Forrestal, now scheduled to join the U. S. fleet In 1954. Escalators to carry ) pilots and deck crewmen from below to the flight deck are also among the fea tures of the ship disclosed today in the caption on a picture released by the navy. Officially labelled an "artist's conception,' the picture and the attached caption show that the air craft carrier to be named after the first defense secretary will be able to launch attack bombers and their covering fighters simultaneously. Tour catapults and a record flight deck width of 252 feet, near ly twice the width of today's larg est carriers, will make this possi ble. The smaller fighters will be catapulted from positions on the Help Educate new one-way street plan this week. i , Uniformed patrolmen will be on hand at key intersections in the traffic arrangement which . puts the north-south highway traffic on one-way streets for the most part, beginning at 8 a.m. to day. Police Chief Clyde A. Warren said, "There will be trouble spots, of course, but it may turn out that little policing is necessary. That's the way. Eugene found it, as the drivers there experienced little trouble fitting into the new traffic scheme." 1 But, he put in, the changes in traffic control here will be sub stantial ones and will require considerable alertness on the part of the drivers as well as police officers. : h 1 For ; one thing, Warren noted, drivers will have to get used to driving in traffic going four lanes abreast.
