But effective with the 1951 li

owned, or publicly owned.
Exempt license plates in 1951
will be permanent with the ve

that 20.000 automobiles come
under the exempt heading.
Before 1950 the "E" was bor

dropped this year, the office
found that citizens still were puz
zled about the designation.
Assessment Work on
Mine Claims Extended
Washington, June 20 (U.R)
The house today passed a bill to
extend for 90 days the July 1
deadline for performance of an
nual assessment work on unpat
ented mining claims in conti
nental United States and Alaska.
The bill now goes back to the
senate which passed similar leg

making the extension apply to
Alaska.
Present law requires that min
ing claim holders do at least S100
worth of improvement work a
year on their claims. For several
years, the requirement has been
suspended. The present bill does
not suspend the requirement for
this fiscal year but extends the
deadline until October 1.

the organ.
The surgical transplanting was
called the first of its kind in
medical history although similar
operations have been performed
on animals.
Mrs. Tucker suffered from
polycystic growths of the kid
ney, an incurable condition. She
agreed to the operation after be
ing told her case was hopeless
and then waited five weeks while
doctors searched for suitable

Clotting Prevented
Within a few minutes of the
donor s death two teams of sur
geans swung into action. One,
headed by Dr. James West, re
moved the healthy kidney while
another with Lawler in charge
removed Mrs. Tucker's diseased
kidney
The healthy kidney was placed
in a salt solution wnicn contain'
ed an agent to prevent blood clot

geons in an adjoining room
where Mrs. Tucker lay.
Doctors reported that the kid
ney, when transplanted to Mrs.
Tucker took on a "healthy pink"
color.
The operation was completed
within 45 minutes of the donor's
death

Flying Bishop Finds
It Helps His Work
Los Angeles (U.R) The Rt.
Rev. Francis Eric Bloy, Epis
copal bishop of Los Angeles, is
closer to Heaven than most
clergymen. He is a real sky pilot
who flys an airplane in addition
to his religious piloting.
Bishop Bloy said he learned to
fly to overcome his fear of air
travel shortly alter World War
II. when he was a rector of
Pasadena, Cal.. church.
The bishop takes a plane up
two or three times a month for
business and relaxation. He finds
flying frequently answers the
press of church business and
enables him to keep appoint
ments otherwise impossible be
cause of the distance-time factor.
The only real scare Bishop
Bloy has experienced to date oc
curred when another bishop fly
ing with him became excited and
grabbed the wheel of the plane.
Bishop Bloy felt it was as close
to Heaven as he wished to get for
the moment and fought the con
trols through a tight spiral to
right the ship.
