Oeioi smith Cn the scien
tific theory that we (and all
lher mammals) have "bio
logical clocks" ticking away
inside us.
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.

tt&timdvrn Science
Kent, O. (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.

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

Talks At Meeting
"It's not so much that we
can't see but that we have to

to Medford Kiwanis club
members yesterday.
Mrs. Thompson, represent

Valley Country club and told
of the program for the blind
in the state.
Also speaking at the meet

First Citizen of Beaver Boys
State last week at Corvallis.
Vice, xwho was sponsored by
the Kiwanis club at the ses

wanis club, President Bill
Singler. presented Vice with
$25 and a piece of luggage for
the trip.

For the first time, hypnotism

heart operations on two teen

through a hearing aid.
Dr. Milton J. 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.
The modern wood-eased
lead pencil undergoes approx
imately 100 laboratory and
factory tests to insure Its efficiency.
