Surg eons
Dioi smitb meeting here
In a Clinical Congress of the
American College of Surgeons
were asked today if that
couldn't be the reason for an
increase in people's hearts
stopping while they're on op
erating tables.
The question was asked by
Dr. Sam E. Stephenson Jr., of
Vanderbilt University, Nash
ville, Tenn., in reporting the
results of his experiments in
dogs. These results were
"quite distressing" he said.
He was distressed because
in surgical patients under
anesthesia those three factors
commonly come together.
And, in addition to "excess
oxygenation," there is "wan-
iuii uiiciiigiiig vi uxjgeu con
centration" in the patient's
blood.
New Respirator
His information was
."unique," he said. He' got it
because he worked with a new
and remarkable machine -a
electronic respirator-which
makes any animal in it totally
dependent upon it for every
breath, yet permits the ani-
control both the quality and
the nature of its breathing.
Our own body chemistry
controls our breathing in
every-day living, but that is
not the case if we're under
anesthesia and undergoing
surgery. Then the anesthesist
takes over a great deal of the
control, particularly in the
matter of how much oxygen
enters with each breath and
in the breathing rate which
determines the body's chemi
cal handling of oxygen.
Vanderbilt Univ e r s i t y s
electronic respirator permits
the most precise chemical and
electrical measurements of
all the factors of breathing in
air, of which oxygen is a part,
and of breathing out air, of
which carbon dioxide has re
placed oxygen as the major
component.
Exhaustive Studies
Stephenson experime n t e d
with dogs in this respirator
under all circumstances of
breathing from the most nor
mal to the most abnormal. He
has accumulated huge stacks
of data, but he reported to the
surgeons mainly on the chemi
cal and electrical state of dogs
whose chests were opened
'while they were enesthetized
and while the oxygen they
were breathing in and the
carbon dioxide they were
breathing out were under pre
cise measuring control.
Three of four dogs whose
:'breathed-in air contained 35
?per cent or more oxygen died
tof a stopped heart. All these
hearts were "well - oxygen-
'Pacific Hurricane
Demolishes Town
2 Mazatlan, . Mexico - (UPD - A
rare Pacific Ocean hurricane
Sunday virtually wiped out
Xthe town of San Jose Del
jTCabo, at Lower California's
southern tip.
- Reports delayed by commu--jnications
difficulties said the
town was lashed for two hours
by winds with velocities over
CI 00 m.pJi-, which destroyed
"400 houses, two churches and

guez's Hotel Ualmilla.

port of casualties.
ated
For experimental reasons,
the dogs were subjected to the
anesthesia and to the high
oxygen breathing much long
er than human patients are in
anything other than the most
complicated and difficult sur
gery. Yet he had his "controls"
for comparison. These "con
trol" dogs had no difficulty,
and the oxygen content of
their breaths was less than
35 per cent and the oxygen
saturation of their blood was
less than 100 per cent.
Stephenson detailed the
chemical changes occurring in
the blood in the presence of
excessive oxygen changes
which the animal hearts took
much less well than the
changes produced by too little
oxygen.
He placed much of the
blame on the barbiturate an
esthesia. (Barbiturates are the
commonly prescribed sleep
ing pill, by the way). Those
drugs depress the respiratory
systems, and so the animals
couldn't breath hard enough
or fast enough to dispose of
excess oxygen.
Stale Suspends
Licenses of 497
Oregon Drivers
Salem - The department of
motor vehicles has released
names of 497 drivers whose
licenses were ordered sus
pended during the period be
ginning Sept. 29 and ending
Oct. 3.
Length of suspension varies,
depending on charges in
volved, recommendation of
court, discretionary action by
the department or require
ments of Oregon law. The de
partment said some of the
licenses involving financial
repsonsibility and court rec
ommendations may have been
re-instated after suspension
was ordered.
The department warned
drivers that the penalty for
driving while suspended is a
jail sentence of no less than
two days and up to six months
and there may be imposed a
fine up to $500. Under licen
sing procedures, this will also
result in an additional year
of suspension.
Those suspended in Jackson

Edward L. We're carry

Mary L. - He's getting
grouchy and sour.
Edward L. - My wife and I
are the parents of four grown
and married children. We
have six grandchildren. We
are and always have been a
closely knit family, and may
be that's our trouble.
We are constantly with our
children and grandchildren.
Either one or more of them
is visiting at our home, or we
are visiting at theirs. We have
fun, but I must say I wish we
could have some peace and
quiet. The youngsters make
an awful hullabaloo. Maybe
I'm getting old or something,
but I hate all the noise and
excitement.
For the past three years
I've been trying to get my
wife to agree to buy a little
shack in the country-a place
where there would be no
room for anyone but the two
of us.
She throws up her hands in
horror at the idea. She won't
even take a weekend trip
without inviting one of the
kids. I say this is carrying
"togetherness", too far.
Mary L-What greater hap
piness can there be than in
sharing things with your own
children? I miss my children
and grandchildren every
minute I'm not with them.
When I see or do something
nice, I don't enjoy it if they
aren't with me.
If Ed went ahead arid
bought that shack in the
country, I know I would feel
lonely and isolated. I would
want the children to share it
with us, but even worse, ' I
know they would feel hurt
that we didn't want them with
us. The youngsters can be a

little tiring at times, but thev
are such darlings I don't mind
if tney tear the place apart.
I think Ed is getting a little
grouchy and sour in his old
age. He resents all the time I
spend with the children and
gets impatient with them
when they ask us to baby-sit
or nelp them out in other
ways. He should get himself
under control and act like the
Dad he was in the past.
.
The Council: We're on Ed's
side.
It sounds to us as though
"togetherness" has gone much
too far in this family.
Family life is great, sure.
But like everything else,
there's a time and place for it.
When a man and woman
have raised a family of four,
they have undoubtedly gotten
a good, fat portion of family
life. Too much of a good thing
can make anyone grouchy and
sour, and we don't blame Ed
for wanting, to duck out on
his baby-sitting responsibili
ties. '
Mary does not seem to
realize that her husband is
paying her a delightful com
pliment in saying that after
several decades of married
lie he would like to spend
more time alone with her.
Edward appears to be
ready and eager for a new
phase of life, but in our
opinion, Mary is afraid of the
future. She clings to the past
in which she was the queen
of a flourishing domain. She
fears the gradual loss of pow
er which is connected with
growing older. She would be
happier if she could accept
this new phase. It has many
interesting possibilities for
pleasures and interests she
never knew before.

Pioneering Flight
Made by Airline
San Francisco-(UPD-An Ha

a military contract flight to
Japan via Honolulu and Wake
Island.
A spokesman for the air
line said the return flight,
stopping at Shemya on the
southern tip of the Aleutians,
was an experimental flight
and that the route may be
used in the future both out
bound and inboid from
Tokyo.
The Shemya base, is used
by Northwest Airlines on
flights between Tokyo and
Seattle, but the Hawaiian Air

Washington (UPD Back
stairs at the White House:
A lady with a long Army
background is getting consid
erable mileage in these parts
with a hilarious story of a
young Army captain of sev
eral seasons back.
The background of her tale
is this:
For years, Army officers
and their wives, living in the
relative social confinement of
military posts, see an awful
lot of each other. Because
their at-home parties have
such "a similarity, each couple
goes in for certain stunts or
party games to liven up the
proceedings.
The' lady in question says
she never knew in all her long
years of Army life, a young
officer who could put such
zing into an otherwise hum
drum affair as her friend.
The captain and his viva
cious young wife would go to
a home party on an Army post
and after dinner, someone in
variably put the personable
officer up to one of his more
spectacular tricks.
. He would stand in the cen
ter of the living room floor,
freeze his body into muscular
rigidity, then slam Jike a
fallen tree to the floor. A
split second before hitting the
rug, however, his hands
would flash out suddenly to
break his fall, but this did not
keep the ladies from gasping
in horror.
Sometimes, the young cap
tain would pull his stunt four
and five times during the
evening. There were times,
too, when his hands weren't
quite quick enough and he'd
knock himself woozy. The
celebrants would haul him
into a chair, bathe his face
and then stand back in admi
ration for his derring-do.
His name? The lady says it
was Capt. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The captain has come a long
way. It is better than an even
bet he wasn't playing parlor

games at the White House last
Monday night when he was
host at a secret stag dinner. .
The guests arrived prompt
ly at 7 o'clock, afr dark -and
after most of the report
ers had departed. The diners
rolled up in black limousines,
sometimes five to a car, and
entered by the north portico
in well-tailored dinner clothes.
An effort to identify them'
ran into a wal lof silence. It
was the President's private

tee grumbling about the vol
ume of cash contributions, it
is quite conceivable that the
President was entertaining for
some of his better-heeled Re
publican friends.
The National Press Clulj has
a new book coming out in
November, a history of 50
years as the headquarters for
some of the world's leading
newsgatherers. The volume,
titled "Shrdlu" after the ar
rangement of certain linotype
keys, points out dispassionate
ly that every president since
William Howard Taft has been
a member of the club - except
Eisenhower.
Taft once set the club abuzz
by dropping in for a drink
without any prior notice
whatever. President Harding
played cards at the club and
once picked up $1.80 in a
hearts game. President Tru
man went to a number of par
ties at the club. When F.D.R.
was late with his dues, he got
an "overdue" notice by mail.
President Coolidge laid the
cornerstone of - the present
club building, and President
Wilson once confessed at the
club to one of the major frus

as President, he could not
satisfy his " secret urge ' to
chase fire engines.
