Kennedy's
Best Ever
Washington - (UPD - Sen.
John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) is
being credited in Wisconsin
political circles with fielding
the best organization ever
seen in the state's presidential
primary campaign.
Kennedy and Sen. Hubert
H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) are
matched in the April 5 con
test, which now looks like the
most important of the presi
dential primaries before the

PLAN IF DESIRED
Questioned Sunday by Sen.
Kenneth P. Keating (R-N.Y.J,
Kennedy said it would be "ex
tremely difficult" for him to
win the presidential nomina
tion if he loses in Wisconsin.
But like Humphrey earlier,
Kennedy said he would not
pull out if he should lose in
Wisconsin.
The two candidates face a
rematch in the West Virginia
primary May 10. This contest
will be watched by politicians
trying to measure the effect
of the religious issue in the
1960 campaign. Less than 5
per cent of West Virginia's
residents share Kennedy's
Catholic faith.
Humphrey in Wisconsin
Humphrey was in Wisconsin
today to finish up a week end
o f campaigning. Kennedy,
who finished a four-day Wis
consin tour Sunday, was
scheduled to go to Indianap-
j olis to make his formal entry
into the May Ji Indiana pri
mary, where he faces no ma
jor opposition.
vBoth will return to Wiscon
sin again later this week and
then move to Detroit to attend
the Midwest Democratic Con
ference next week end. Sen.
Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), an
unannounced candidate for
the presidential nomination,
also will visit Detroit.

gree murder of Mrs. Pearl

ington,. D. C. widow,
California law provides for

Sympathizers
Said To Hold
High Positions
Washington (UPD Secre
tary of State Christian A. Her
ter says Premier Fidel Cas
tro's Cuban regime appears to
follow a Communist pattern
in some of its actions.
Herter also said Communist
sympathizers hold high gov
ernment positions but added
that "I don't think anyone
could say affirmatively that
Cuba is Communist at the
present time."
He made the statements in
an interview with Sen. Lev
erett Saltonstall (R-Mass.).
The program was recorded be
fore the State Department an
nounced Friday that U. S. Am
bassador Philip Bonsai would
return to Cuba.
Returns lo Cuba
Bonsai went back to Ha
vana Sunday in a new effort
to improve U.S.-Cuban rela
tions. He was recalled Jan.
22 in protest against attacks
on him and this country by
Cuban officials.
Herter said Castro's atti
tude toward the United States
has been "very difficult for
us to take because we have
been subject to innuendoes
and accusations which really
required us, as you know, to
withdraw our ambassador
from Cuba."
The secretary declared that
the United States was very
sympathetic to the aims of
the Castro revolution. He said
this country never has ob
jected to Castro's land reform
law, but does insist that U.S.
owners be compensated for
property taken from them.
Other Comments
Herter also commented that
he thought Cuba "got the
short end" of its recent eco
nomic pact with the Soviet
Union but he did not explain
why.
On other matters, he:
-Warned against expecting
dramatic results from the Big
Four summit conference be
ginning May 16 at Paris.
-Predicted a United West
ern front on Germany and
other issues at the confer
ence. -Reiterated that the United
States would not agree to any
disarmament proposals which
fail to provide for effective
control or inspection to guard
against cheating.

Attorneys to Fight
Mass Negro Arrests
Washington (UPD A con
ference of civil fights attor
neys agreed Saturday to use
every legal means to fight the
mass arrests and fines arising
from the wave of Negro lunch
counter strikes in the south

holding a three-day strategy
meeting here, signaled a new
round of segregation test suits

Another Week forecast in
Mate on CSviO Eights Act
Washington (UPD Senate
Democratic Whip Mike Mans
field (D-Mont.) today forecast
"at least another week" of de
bate before Congress finishes
with civil rights legislation.
Mansfield said he saw no
indication that the House
would complete action on a
civil rights bill before the
middle of the week. The Sen
ate still would need time to
act on the House version.
N Both the Senate and House
resumed the civil rights bat
tle at noon, with the Senate
entering its sixth consecutive
week on the subject and the
House starting a second full
week of discussion.
New Drive in Senate
Action in the House centers
on Southern attempts to
weaken a section based on a
modified form of the adminis
tration proposal for court-appointed
referees to oversee
Negro voting rights.
And in the Senate, liberals
began a new drive to strength
en the referee plan. The lat
est move, by Sens. Jacob K.
Javits (R-N.Y.) and Joseph S.
Clark (D-Pa.), was a try at
writing in a combination of
the referee plan and a system
of federal enrollment officers,
first suggested by Sen. Thom
as C. Hennings Jr. (D-Mo.).
Senate leaders still planned
to let the House act first in
hopes it would pass a bill that
the Senate could approve
without change. This would
HypothermiaUsed
In Brain Surgery
After Heart Stops
Rochester, Minn., (Science
Service)-A brain tumor has
been removed from a patient
whose heart stopped just be
fore surgery began.
The surgeons who perform
ed the operation, Drs. Alfred
Uihlein, Robert G. Lippert,
and John S. Welch of the
Mayo Clinic here, believe the
operation was successful be
cause": they subjected the pa
tient to hypothermia (lowering
of the body temperature.)
If the heart stops, the brain
is quickly damaged. The
May6 surgeons used hypo
thermia to minimize this
brain damage.
Lesion of Brain
The case history of theitf
35-year-old male patient, re
ported in the current Proceed
ings of the Staff Meetings of
the Mayo Clinic, included sev
eral head injuries and con
vulsive seizures. Laboratory
tests showed a lesion on the
under side of the brain. This
lesion had pushed the brain
slightly askew. Surgery was
needed to remove the lesion.
While the general anes
thetic was being given, the
man's heart stopped. Imme
diately his chest was opened
under unsterile conditions
and the surgeon began heart
massage.
Heart Began io Beat
After 30 to 60 seconds, the
heart began to beat regular
ly. Two and one-half minutes
after the heart had stopped
there Was a pulsation in the
wrist again. Blood pressure,
pulse and breathing were
stable within 35 minutes after
the chest incision was closed.
Now the question arose:
Should the patient be subject
ed to the added physical
shock of an operation?
The brain was already in
danger of damage from the
earlier heart arrest. Pressure
inside the brain, purposely
introduced during one of the
pre-operative tests, might kill
the patient or cause the heart
to stop again if the space
occupying lesion, was not re
moved immediately. The de
cision; continue.
Temperature : Forced Down
A refrigeration blanket
was wrapped around the pa
tient, forcing his body tem
perature to drop four degrees
in one hour. The tumor, con
taining blood and a small
nodule, was then removed.
There was no sign of brain
or nerve damage and the body
temperature then was allowed
to creep up to normal.
The patient made a rapid
recovery. At the time of his
discharge, his heart was be
having normally. He had a
slight weakness in the left
arm, but this had been severe
before the operation. This
condition was slowly disap
pearing. HOBBY BOBBY

De Gaulle Stand
Stirs Political
Storm in France
Paris-OIPD-President Charles
de Gaulle's refusal to sum
mon Parliament into session
on farm problems stirred up a
political storm among the So
cialists today 48 hours before
Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev's arrival.
Former Premier Guy Mil
letj Socialist party chief, sum
moned a meeting of his party
leadership for Tuesday. There
were reports he might call an
emergency national party con
vention. The conservative daily
newspaper Figaro said de
Gaulle's increasing trend to
ward one man rule had "push
ed the Socialist party . . to
ward the Communists."
Indignation Shown
In all political circles there
was some indignation at de
Gaulle. Some rightwing poli
ticians feared there was grow
ing danger of a "popular
front" which the Communists
have sought for so long.
The trend to the left ap
peared to be a windfall for
the Communists who have
been laying extensive plans to
reap political benefits from
the Khrushchev visit.
An absolute majority-287
of 551 deputies-of the Na
tional Assembly has demand
ed an emergency session to
debate farm problems. The
farmers protest they are being
squeezed in de Gaulle's aus
terity program for the na
tion. But de Gaulle said Friday
he would not call Parliament
back because this would be to
bow to pressure groups and
violate the spirit of the consti
tution. Washington - (UPD - The Na
tional Labor Relations board
says its decision stands in
favor, of Portland's two daily
newspapers on: an unfair la
bor practice charge filed by
the Web Pressmen's union.

Chatter
New York-(UPD-The Federal
Reserve Board is supposed
to be "leaning" less against
the winds of inflation
the inflation winds are sup
posedly not blowing quite so
hard, says Frank L. Elliott of
Fame, Webber, Jackson &
Curtis.
The present restrictive
policy was initiated Sept. 12,
1958 if you figure inception
only from the first increase
in the rediscount rate, he
points out. "I think that a
year and a half is a long time
to keep the economy in a vise
without risking harmful side
affects and that a moderate
change in policy now would
benefit the economy."
Elliott asserts that the re
striction should have served
its purpose by now if it is to
be effective at all, and "over
maintained restriction may in
vite recession."
Bache & Co. says Bruns
wick - Balke - Collender has
formed an interesting and
rare chart pattern during the
past two months. A long rise
like this issue has had usually
signals a reversal of the pri
mary trend, the investment
firm notes.
The contrary petroleum in
dustry is expected to go its
way again this year, says the
Value Line Investment Sur
vey. Most industries should
have excellent first half prof
its, but face the prospect of
leveling sales and growing
pressure on margins in the
closing six months, Value
Line notes. "But the oil com
panies will have a poor first
half, and then probably enjoy
increased sales and wider
margins after mid-year. Thia
second half improvement
should be enough to make
1960 as good or slightly better
than 1959."
