St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.PJ
Jackie Burke of Houston, Tex.,
threw a seven-under-par 65 at
the boys Saturday and left them
to scramble for second money
as he took over the lead in the
St. Petersburg Open Goif tour
nament by six strokes.
Burke's 200 total at the end
of 54 holes made him a virtual
shoo-in for the title here. It
would be his fourth tournament
victory in a row, the hottest
streak on many a winter golf
tour.
The Texas tornado took over
the lead which he relinquished in
the second round to Dr. Cary
Middlecoff, the Memphis dentist.
Middlecoff sliced his drives,
banged behind palm trees and
otherwise found all types of
trouble to blow his two-stroke
advantage. He barely managed
to bring in a 73, good for a sec
ond place tie at 206 with Al
Besselink of Chicago.

he can t finance at least one trip
to town.

Mechanical 'Heart' Keeps
Man Alive More Than Hour
Philadelphia (U.R) A man
was kept alive with a mechan
ical heart for one hour and 20
minutes yesterday in an opera
tion which made medical history
in America, Pennsylvania hos
pital announced today.
The man. 41-year-old Peter
Durning of Bethlehem, Pa., died
two hours after the mechanical
heart was disconnected, but only
because of a heart condition that
could not be corrected by
surgery..
Satisfied With Results
A team of surgeons from Penn
sylvania hospital and two other
hospitals were reported satis
fied with the results of their
first successful use of -the ma
chine on - a human being in
America. They believe it will be
used in the future to carry hu
man beings through heart sur
gery and back to normal life.
In the historic operation, the
machine, an improved version
of the pump developed in 1932
by Dr. Michael De Bakey, took
over the duties of the right side
of Durning's heart, where sur
geons suspected a clot or tumor
was obstructing the flow of
blood. "
Own Heart Operates
During the operation, Durn
ing's heart functioned partially
as the surgeons sought to free
blood from the right side of his
heart and permit them to probe
for the suspected obstruction:
After the operation had been
under way for three minutes
,the surgeons noted that a non
correctable lesion was filling the
right side of the heart with
blood, causing a defective valve
action.
For the next 80 minutes,' the
surgeons permitted the mechan
ical heart to bypass only part of
the blood at a rate of three liters
a minute from the original rate
of five liters a minute, which is
the normal rate of the human
heart.
Non-Correctable
The chief surgeon then probed
for an obstruction, which if
present, would have been re
moved. But he found only the
non-correctable lesion.
Durning, who along with his
family granted permission for
the unprecedented operation,
lived for two hours after the
machine was disconnected. He
died when his own diseased heart
failed.
