o Man reported 'satisfactory after transplant DENVER (UPI) A 40-year- old patient at Colorado General Hospital had hopes today of be coming the second man In med ical history to survive the trans plant of an animal's kidneys to his body. The unusual operation was performed Friday and the man, who was not identified, was re ported In "satisfactory" condi- tion today. The kidneys of a baboon were inserted in his body to replace his own diseased kidneys. . The operation came three days after announcement at New Or leans of the successful trans plant of a chimpanzee's kidneys to a man. That operation was performed Nov. 5 but not re vealed until Tuesday. Doctors at Charity Hospital in New Orleans said their patient had recovered sufficiently to so home for Christmas. In the only other known animal-to-human transplant, a woman received the kidneys of a rhesus monkey Oct. 8 but they ceased to function and had to be removed. She died two days later. '. Development of this tech nique, called a heteroeraft. Is significant because if animal or gans can be used for trans plants, the problem of finding suitable donors for such opera tions will be removed. I Colorado General declined to reveal much about Friday's op eration and said it would not 'do so for several days.

The "let us begin" mark had been set by the late President Kennedy. But the new President demonstrated that the LBJ brand could be clearly visible. Johnson held another one of his impromptu, informal press conferences this week. But there was nothing lackadaisical In his approach to world prob lems. Rattling off a list of his "number one" priorities, goals, objectives and ambitions, John son said it was to "try to provide the leadership for my country with vision, tolerance, patience and strength that will convince the rest of the world that we court no territory, we seek no satellites..." He summed up the aims of the United Slates in the world arena by adding: "We are try ing to live in peace and pros perity, and we would like our fellow man everywhere to be able to do the same thing." Following paths in other directions, he warned, "could mean disaster for most of the world." Speaking to the world from the rostrum of the United Na tions General Assembly John son vowed to make world peace, civil rights and human welfare not an illusion but r No wonder we're In the hole. Get out and J advertise or they'll be I k shutting off our SWEDE-OIL! reality." He said he would be willing to meet with Soviet Premier Khrushchev or any world leader If there was a clear indication the get-together would be "productive."

Fort Worth, Tex. Russell Wence McLarry, 21 -year -old part time college student, was charged with threatening to kill President Kennedy the night before the assassination.

A 12-count indictment was re turned here against the William S. Merrell Co., a division of Richardson-Merrell Inc. of New York. It charged that when the company asked for government approval of the drug "Mer-29," it failed to include damaging results from tests on animals. The indictment said false re ports about damage to the eyes, ovaries and bloodstreams of monkeys, rats and dogs used in testing the drug were given to the Food & Drug Administra tion (FDA). It said the firm concealed the fact that several rats died before experiments were completed. The drug was on the market for 22 months and had been prescribed by doctors for about 400,000 heart patients. It was withdrawn from sale by the company in April, 1962 under strong pressure from the FDA. Harmful Effects During the last three months, suits totaling more than $25 million have been brought against the firm alleging that the drug, also known as tripar nol, had resulted in various harmful side effects. R.H. Marschalk, president of the parent firm, commenting on the indictment, denied any in tent to deceive the government and said he was confident a "fair appraisal" would vindi cate the company. The Merrell division, founded in 1828, was a prime distributor of the controversal drug thali domide suspected of causing deformities in babies when used by expectant mothers. An FDA spokesman said a 1962 law passed after the thali domide scare could have pre vented the Mer-29 episode. He said the FDA now has a closer check on clinical investigations of drugs under the new law. Developed Cataracts Dr. John O. Nestor, an FDA investigator, recommended in November, 1961, that Mer-29 be Medical Society opposes smoking banned after four patients de veloped cataracts. The rDA did not act immediately be cause there was no real evi dence at that time that the ca taracts were drug-induced. It did, however, require the firm to issue a warning letter to doctors telling of harmful side effects such as cataracts, hair loss and other changes. The product was used for an other four ana one-nait monms before enough evidence was found to justify Its withdrawal.
