MEDICAL SCIENCE MAKING MORE USE OF WARTS' Progress Is Being Made in Transfer of Organs, But Success Confined Mainly to Small Parts of Body Chevrolet Takes Big Strides Ahead for 1939 By HOWARD BI..AKE81.EE (Associated Press Science Eflltor) NEW YORK The business of sup plying spare parts to human beings began to pick up when a nagers town, Maryland, surgeon, transferred rabbit's cornea to the eye of man. This experiment was a daring try with all the odds against , But It could not harm the man: and If uccessfut It would be a true miracle which science might learn 'to dupli cate. In numerous ways medical science Si edging In on the barrier that so far has made spare parts only i dim hope. That boundary Is the In dlvlduallty of a human being. He Is always Just enough different from even his brother so that his tissues won't accept a new part. There Is one great exception, blood transfusion. Strictly speaking, this Is spare parts millions of red cor puscles, white ones and other tiny cells are used as spares. Hmall Parts draft nest When the parts get small enough they apparently are better able to purvlve transplantation. Even with Wood, the individual "spoclfity" Is Important the right blood typo ynust be used. The blinded eye furnishes an other example of possible success In spare parts, If small enough. Trans planting of the corneas (the clear covering over the pupil) from one human to another has been going on for half a century. Medical records say the operations have restored sight only temporarily. The spare cornea always- died and became opaque. But something smaller Just a little bit of a human cornea, sot as a "window" In a blinded yo works better. This eye operation Is so new Its lasting results are not yet estab lished. But Its hopes for success are built on the probability that the foreign part, being small, will be Incorporated. Plastic surgery, which borrows skin from one person to cover another's hurt, is another exception to the rule; but at present thnt is limited to skin deep effects. Kenels for Protection " A reason for the Innate aversion of the body to a new part appears in man's biological evolution, In which every cell for his body has had to fight off all kinds of foreign u balances for protection against ctlwiafc. ' Men and women can have borrowed glands with some success. This aocms .limited to the ductless glnnds which dlsohargo their secretions directly Into the blood. Such new parts may Jive any place. A thyroid, for ex ample, may flourish In a blp for a fairly good length of time. Even in these coses the body at tempts to absorb, and b9 rid Itself of the new part. -t E; I SEATTLE, Not. 5 (AP) Three teen-age girls bound and gnsg.cl a matron and escaped from a Juve nile detention homo here tonight Mr. Melvy Woods, the matron.

Herbert K. Lehman relied for re election "upon the discredited and repudiated forces of old and reac- : tlonary political power." Although billed aa reply to the j President's nation-wide radio address endorsing Democratic candldlatea, the speech Dewey prepared for his clos ing rally In Brooklyn made few re ferences to Mr. Roosevelt's speech. He renewed his attack on corruption and chargd that the slain gang lord Dutch Schultz was appointed a dep uty sheiVf In 1925 by Edward J. Flynn, now Democratic Secretary of State. , . Oblique Allusions Several oblique allusions were made to the President's speech, however. In the beginning, the 36-year-old dis trict attorney said: I have carefully read all the speeches made by our opponents In this campaign all of our opponents. Tonight not one of the major Issues before the people have been met by them. Instead, they bring a single indictment against me. "I stand before you accused of one crime: I was born In the 20th cen tury. To that charge I plead guilty. I am of the 20th century. We look forward, not backward." (In his address last night. Presi dent Roosevelt disclosed that he, too, at Dewey's age was Invited to run for the governorship but declined and has since decided that he had neither the experience nor knowledge necessary for the Job at that time.) "It was well said last night by the President, and I quote," Dewey add ed later, " 'new Ideas cannot be administered successfully by men with old Ideas, for the first essential of doing the Job well is the wish to see the job done at all.' "That la what the President said. I agree. This year we offer the peo ple of New York not only the wish to see things dqpe, but the will to see them done well, there are many tasks before us." Farley Cautious As the campaign reached Its peak, the closeness of the race, upon which Republicans are relying so greatly In a com back campaign, was Indicated tonight when Postmaster General James A. Farley, state and national Democratic chairman, hint ed that as few as 16.000 to 24,000 votes might decide the election. Urging ail Democrats to vote, Far ley delayed his usual Saturday or Sunday prediction on the outcome until Monday, while William S. Mur ray, state Republican chairman, pre dicted Dewey would be elected by a large plurality and carry the re mainder of the ticket with him to victory. 4 THIRD TERM TALK PORTLAND, Nov. 8. yp) There are aome things that aren't talked about In the Roosevelt family circle and one of them la a third term, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said as she passed through Portland today. A reporter asked her If the presi dent would run again. "You'll have to ask the president," she amlled. "There are aome things one doesn't talk about even In family circles." Mrs. Roosevelt was en route south to see her son Jamea after a visit with her daughter and family In Seattle. She aald she would be In Hyde Park "In time to vote unless something happens to the weather."

Banks Pleaded Guilty Al Banks, financial secretary of Salem teamsters, pleaded guilty to Wast Salem arson, sentenced to 13 years In prison. The report also reveals that of the Rosficr-appointed executive committee of 37, 13 have been convicted or have pleaded guilty to crimes In Oregon's reign of labor terrorism. The Moody report charges, and sustains the charges with detailed testimony, state ments and audits, that Rosaer, "representa tive of Dave Beck of Seattle. International Teamsters official for 11 Western states," completely dominated and controlled not only the teamsters unions of the state but also the locals of warehousemen, gnrsge and service station employees, laundries and dry cleaners, dairy truck drivers, wholesale and retail drivers, garbage truck drivers, making up joint council 37, and affiliated locals such as the drivers' and helpers local, milk and dairy drivers, chauf feurs and teamsters' and brewery workers local No. fl which ta affiliated with Joint council 38 of Seattle. It recites that Rossrr had complete con trol of union finances, refusing to give an accounting, and ud union funds to hire goonsters. A certified public accountant's audit of union records shows $222,024.99 pnwd through his hands In 1937 and 60.756.04 In 1936 (not Including local 163 whose record were missing for that year) and discloses that "unexplained disburse ments" totaled M3.434 53 for that period The report also lists personal expendl- Report Shows 120 Person Arrested For 232 Crimes This Is the highlight of the report of Ralph E. Moody, co-ordlnator In the prose cution of labor racketeera In Oregon in the laat seven months, to Governor Charles H. Martin and released by the governor today. The massive report, which names the 130 persons arrested for 233 crimes and discloses disposition of each case, shows that 65 have pleaded guilty, 11 have been convicted by Juries, and 3 acquitted, 23 released for lack of sufficient evidence, and 38 trials and sentences pending. Total sentences meted out to date In Multnomah, Washington, Wasco. Lane.

"Without supplementary legislation to protect the members of labor unions from raids on their treasury, and to protect industry from destruction of property, and to protect the public from blockading of shipping and commerce and to insure the transportation of products, it is possible that there may be a recurrence of the reign of labor terrorism from which it is now just experiencing a lull."

Officials Quoted The report quotes numerous statements by union officials, trustees and members of the executive committee to the effect that Rosser end his favored lieutenants ran. union affairs to suit themselves an4 that they were "Just a front" or "yes men" for the labor leader who faces additional goon charges In Multnomah and Washing ton counties. On one occasion when members of Joint Council 37 questioned Ro&ser's unexplained expenditure of union moneys, Dave Beck was called In from Seattle and "told the Joint Council that It should not oak for an accounting as It would be embarrassing," the iv port declares. The Moody report also cites "an Inescap able conclusion that Beck and Roeser domi nated the entire group of unions" and "undertook to enforce prlce-flxlng of beer In Portland" with the result that one brew ery (Marlnoff) "was finally driven into bankruptcy," despite the fact that It "em ployed only union men, paid union wages, and abided by union requirements In hourt and working conditions. A comparable technique was employed In other industries, such as laundry, automobile, barber, veget able peddling snd baking, to force union ization, maintain hl?h price and stifle competition, It Is charged.
