A clock is rhythmical, and so are us mammals. Our hearts "beat," our brains give off "waves," electrical Current pulsates through our skins. Something must keep all our rhythms even and on beat, and that something must be built-in "biological clocks." That's the theory. n i i v fa IF.- VS JWTTSWG l tell House ifcbert wft ether he had f Communist, Ch?s S.

(UPI) Big re) moving is net really a odern science at all, accord ' ing to historians at the Davey frtf txpert Co. $reul accomplished in 1636 - fefc mzing for the times 7 transport of some 700 mam moth tfco trees. The trtet were up to , 80 . years old nd from 30 to 50 - feet tall. They were moved on carriages four miles across ; two rivers to a new home on an island. The hibernating ground squirrels improved it. Dr. G. Edgar Felk Jr., and his asso ciates at Iowa State Universi ty, proved that they hibernate rhythmically and the rhythms are quite independent of tem perature. Everyone has sup posed that cold weather keeps ground squirrels hibernating. Actually their "biological clocks" do it. You line that up with the two iced Egyptians in this way. Unlike ground squirrels, people maintain the same in ternal temperature summer and winter. But surgical sci ence has discovered that if you lower normal body tem perature considerably, all vi tal bodily processes are great ly slowed down and you can perform delicate operations on relatively "bloodless" hearts or brains you couldn't perform- otherwise. The patients in these re markably successful opera tions have always been chilled from the outside in, usually by being immersed in ice before the surgery. But Dr. H. H. Khalil of the University of Alexandria, Egypt, has long advocated chilling these pa tients from the inside out. Others have hesitated over this idea because there were reasons to doubt that the hu man -'biological clocks" were independent of temperature. None the Worse for Wear Balloons were inserted into the stomach and by attached tubes, water was pumped in, through, and then out of the balloons. The temperature of the water was precisely con trolled and when it was kept icy, the body temperatures dropped, and went up again when the water was warmed. The animals were none the worse for their experiences. This method now has been tried on two Egyptians. Both had brain tumors which doomed them to death and which were not subject to surgery by ordinary proce dures. Their body tempera tures were lowered from the inside-out, and kept way down for a long time. One opera tion lasted five hours. The other was almost as long. Both were successful the tumors were removed. Museum To Show Models of Ships Racine, Wis. (UPI) Eu gene Kloster plans to open a museum to show models he is making of fighting ships and other military equipment. Kloster, 32, said he will start with about 25 ships, mostly modern war vessels. Each model will be built to a scale of 116 inch to the foot. The draftsman is making the exhibits as close to scale and design as possible because he wants the models to be of engineering as well as historic significance. mttSmtmmmmnmimiimmmmmmmKmmmtmmmmmmMmmmmm iiiirimiin rwn i iwiiwimiiiiii Use of Hypnosis in 'Open Heart' Surgery Told at AMA Meeting INTEGRATION CONFERENCE President Elsenhower poses in the White House with four Negro leaders following their conf ere nc on school integration and other matters affecting Negroes in the U.S. A prime topic of discussion was the recent court order renewing segregation in the high school at Little Rock, Ark.

Most Economists Believe Nation Has Hit Bottom of Recession New York, (UPI) Most top economists feel the nation has hit the bottom of the re cession but they look for a slow recovery to full produc tion and employment, a United Press International survey shows. Of the 12 top economists polled, seven said the reces sion has bottomed out, four said the decline will go still deeper and one said he was not sure. Almost all the economists agreed that prospects were dim for a sharp recovery such as followed the recessions of 1949 and 1954. Generally, they felt the near-term outlook is cloudy, the medium-term outlook is fair and the long-term outlook is rosy. . No Runaway Seen They agreed that inflation will continue to be a problem in years ahead, but none felt the nation was on the verge of a runaway price spiral. All opposed federal controls over wages and prices as an antf inflatioh measure. , The economists opposed by a 10 to 2 vote a general across the board tax cut at this time, but most said there is a press ing need to reform the tax structure. - Almost half the economists expressed the opinion that the government moved too slowly last fall when the recession began or came up with too little, too late to spur recov ery. The economists listed as the chief causes of the recession over - expansion of industry and the subsequent cutback in spending for new plants and equipment; reduced govern ment defense spending; inven tory liquidation; lower con sumer spending for . durable goods such as autOs and ex cessive tightening of credit in the latter stages of the boom. No Preventive However they generally agreed that in a free enter prise economy fluctuations are bound to occur and that there was little, if anything that could have been done to avoid a downturn. . The economists polled by UPI, were: A. W. Zelomek, of the University of Virginia; John E. Kane, Arkansas Uni versity; Douglas H. - Belle more, research director at Tucker, Anthony & R. L. Day; Roy L. Reierson, vice presi dent of Bankers Trust Co.; George Cline Smith, vice president and economist of F. W. Dodge Corp.; Abraham L. CONCERT MANAGER DIES East Setauket, N.Y. (UPI) James A.

Mrs. Thompson Talks At Meeting "It's not so much that we can't see but that we have to learn to" get along without sight," Mrs. Vera Thompson, Portland, remarked in a talk to Medford Kiwanis club members yesterday. Mrs. Thompson, represent ative frbm the social and ed ucation department of the Oregon state commission for the blind, is in Medford through July 3 to conduct classes for visually- handicap ped people. She spoke at the Kiwanis luncheon at Rogue Valley Country club and told of the program for the blind in the state.

In behalf of the Ki wanis club, President Bill Singler. presented Vice with $25 and a piece of luggage for the trip. San Francisco (UPI) For the first time, hypnotism has been used in the most awesome of medical feats the "open heart" operation. The medical milestone was bared Wednesday at the an nual meeting ' of the Ameri can Medical Association by a doctor who said he has suc cessfully used hypnosis during heart operations on two teen agers. One patient, a 14-year-old girl, was deaf and the doctor said he had to deliver hyp notic instructions to her Junior Library Names New Hours With the temporary ap pointment of Mrs. C. M.

Marmer, from the University of California at Los Angeles, said the tech nique "opens a new frontier in heart surgery." The girl "awoke" on com mand while her heart was temporarily by-passed and the heart-lung machine held her life in its pulsing spiral of plastic tubing and throbbing motors. Eliminates Unconsciousness Hypnosis was used in these cases, the doctor said, "to avoid the depressant effects of anesthetic drugs and to at tempt to eliminate uncon sciousness while the patient was on the heart - lung ma chine." The blood is shunted around the heart and lungs through a mechanical oxygenator dur ing open heart surgery. This allows clearer vision of the heart and a dry field in which to work. . Because the normal blood circulation is stopped, there is the possibility of brain damage. Marmer had theorized that one way of checking such a possibility would be to awak en an individual while he was on the machine, This could be done, he said, if the pa tient were hypnotized. First, he tried an operation with hypnosis on a 13-year-old boy. All went well and he decided it was time to try to "awaken" a patient who had been hypnotized. The deaf girl was the pa tient. Patient Hypnotized Before she was wheeled into the operating room she was hypnotized and given a tiny bit of anesthesia. In ' the middle of the op eration a hearing aid was placed in her ear so she could hear commands. "She was asked to open her eyes, which she did im mediately. She was asked to move her head to indicate that she could hear me. "This response to command was elicited several times to satisfy the curiosity and amazement of the observers in the operating room." After the defect was re paired and the heart closed, she was given the command to go to sleep again," Marmer said.
