Norblad Sees Slim
Chance of Rising
Higher in House
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
. Washington Rep. Walter Nor
blad (R-Ore.) estimates that it
would take him "almost a life
time" to rise
substantia 1 1 y
any higher in
the ranks of
the House of
R e p r esenta
tives. This was his
answer to the
R e p u b lican
objection voic-
a. Robt. imitk efl by Ore
gon's Republican national com
mitteewoman, Mrs. Marshall
Cornett, to Norblad's decision to
abandon his congressional seat
and run for governor.
Norblad has been Oregon's
first district congressman for 10
years. Mrs. Cornett argued that
the party and the state could ill
afford to lose his services in
Congress, inasmuch as he had
gained a decade's seniority.
Norblad is now sixth ranking
Republican on the House Armed
Services committee, but he fig
ures he would have to stay in
Congress for possibly two or
three times as long to reach the
top as committee chairman.
"Dewey- Short, the ranking
Republican oh our committee,
has been in Congress 27 years,"
observed Norblad. "Les Arends
of Illinois, second ranking man
on our side, has been here 21
years. And Carl Vinson, chair
man of" the committee, has been
j here 42 years."
I Sees Liitle Prospect
i In short, Norblad said he saw
I little prospect of climbing much
j higher very soon within the
' House itself.
A rundown of the length of
service of the various House
; committee chairmen shows- that
most have served at least a quar
ter of a century. They include
Jere Cooper of Ways and Means,
27 years; Emmanuel Cellar of
Judiciary, 33 years; Clarence
Cannon of Appropriations, 33
years.
Top Republicans are Reed of
(Ways and Means, 37 years; Ta
ber of Appropriations, 23 years;
Rogers of Veterans, 31 years;
: Hope of Agriculture, 30 years.

Artificial Heart
Valve Made From
Plastic Substance
San Francisco U.R) Two
University of California medical
scientists have discovered how
to make a life-saving artificial
heart valve out of the same ma
terial used in the common plas
tic kitchen sponge.
The technique may soon do
much to eliminate death from
the ravages of "rheumatic fever
and congenital deformity in new
born infants, they said.
The scientists, Drs. Edwin J.
Wylie and B&nson B. Roe, de
scribed their experiments at a
news conference here.
The valve, designed by U.C.
Engineer David Moore, is made
from polyvinyl alcohol the
same material the householder
commonly uses to swab the sink
or wash the family car.
The doctors said that so far the
valve has been used only on
dogs, but the success of the ex
periments warrants the. assump
tion that its use on humans may
not be far off.
Dr. Roe explained that in a
healthy human, the pulsation of
the heart forces blood up into
the arota with' each beat, open
ing a three-leafed valve.
Between out pu t beats, the
valve prevents the blood from
returning to the heart.
But in the aftermath of rheu
matic fever or in the case of a
cogenital deformity, this natural
valve is often impaired, causing
improper heart function and
eventually death.
In his animal experiments, Dr.
Roe has managed to place his
artificial valve at the entrance
to the arota without shutting
off the total blood supply from
the heart during the operation
a condition which would cause
critical brain damage or death
within minutes.
The scientist declined to re
veal his ingenious surgical meth
od until after he has described
it in a recognized surgical jour
nal, .o
