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. A
.spokesman said the team of
; surgeons who performed the op-
eratlon wanted the publicity on
;tt to be "conservative.

President Johnson completed
his first month in office and the
record clearly indicates the
Chief Eeecutlve got a head
start on his "We will continue"
pledge to the nation and the
world.
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

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."
Around the clock around the
world:
Berlin West Bcriiners armed
with official passes, poured
through "Christmas cracks" in
the infamous wall for holiday
reunions with loved ones.
London The editor of "Jane's
Fighting Ships" warned the
United States it must modernize
its fleet to counter the sub
marine challenge of the Soviet
Union.

aid bill. It was the longest con
gressional session since World

probably would have survived

One of naWs oldest major
drug companies faces charges
WASHINGTON (UPI) - One,
of the nation's oldest major
drug firms was accused by a
federal grand jury frriday of
keeping secret laboratory evi
dence that a new drug may
have caused serious damage to
research animals.
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.
