I recently hid met in
artstlng experience in Hous
on, Texas, whert I spoke.
Etch morn-
inf, t would
go to the big
Methodist hot
p i Ul with
Chief of Sur
gical Staff,
Dr. H. J. Eh
lert. There I
would m k
rounds with
inr either Dr. Ml
hiel De Btkey or Dr. Den
on Cooley, two ible jurgeom,
who are making hiitory by
iperaUng on the diseased ar
teries of hundreds of people
who eome to see them from
ill over America and Europe.
I watched Dr. DeBakey re
move a man's whole thoracic
lOrU, the big artery, as thick
is a thumb, which cornea out
of the top of the heart and
runs down through the chest
s far as the midriff. He re
moved this particular artery
because it had a big aneurysm
in it a blow-out such as
can form on an automobile
tire. In the old days, all that
doctors and the unhappy pa
tient could do was to wait
until the aneurysm ruptured,
and the man died. While De
Bakey waa removing the dis
eased aorta, and substituting
a tube made of Dacren, the
patient was being kept alive
with the help of a pump
which took the place of his
neart.
As I made rounds with the
two great surgeons, I taw
dozens of older people who
had had aneurysms cut out,
or had had an obstruction re
moved from an artery which
normally carries blood to the
brain, or had had an obstruct
ion removed from one of the
arteries that supplies a leg.
As a result of the improved
blood supply, to the brain,
many persons regained their
health after a series of strange
little strokes. At a result of
an improved blood supply to
a kidney, many a person who
has had a big high Blood pres.
aure hat greatly improved
(not all have this type of trou
ble); and, as a result of throw
ing much more blood into
leg, many a man is walking
comfortably again, and is no
longer faced by the danger
of losing some toes or a leg.
As I made rounds in the
Children's Hospital with Dr.
Cooley, I found dozens of lit-
tit children and even new
born Infants who had come
Into this 'world with a mal
formed heart. Many were
what is called "blue babies'
because much of the blood
was not being sent, as
should normally be a a n t,
throuih the lungs where
combines with the oxygen in
the air and turns red.
Until a few years ago, hun
dreds of thousands of these
children had no chance to live
or to live with any comfort.
Today, most of them are being
cured. I saw dozens of people
who had managed to live into
adult life with a malformed
heart, but when they were
about at the end of their rope
thev had to be operated on
Often, then, the surgeon had
to close a hole between the
two main cavities of the
heart a hole that should
not have been there. With a
auecessful operation, the per
son was well,
A number of new technics
have been worked out which
enable the heart specialist of
today to say exactly what is
wrong with a malformed
heart, and can say what the
urgeon will have to do when
he operates,
lubttance Iniaeted
I watched Dr. Cooley mane
an arteriogram (x-ray picture
of arteries) by injecting a sub
stance into an artery which
made every detail of It and
It branches visible in a pic
ture. I also saw men making
a study of the circulation of
the blood running through the
heart. This new technic should
prove to be very aluable if
it can take all of the guess
work out of estimating the
blood-carrying capacity of the
"coronary" or main arteries
of the heart the ones that
plug up in the cases of bad
"heart attacks."
I came away from Houston
with a heart full of gratitude
that, today, more and more
surgeons with great courage,
great akill and great physical
stamina are working on the
technics of performing these
wonderful operations. I am
glad t h a t, , today, in every
big medical center, surgeons
are doing this type of work,

Bacon Notes Drop
In Home Book Use
A drop in the number of
books in home use during
April compared to the previ
ous April was noted by Omar
Bacon, librarian oi me run
lle Library of Medford and
Jackson County, at Friday's
library board meeting.
Although the overall totals.
including branch libraries
show a slight increase of 4.47
per cent, the percentage of
change in the Medford library
is a drop of 1.36 per cent. A
total of 17,167 books were in
home use in April, compared
to 17,405 the previous April,
Bacon said.
Our staff hat reached a
plateau. They lust can't do
any more. They are so busy
with routine tasks and other
work which has to be done
they don't have time to help
people find books. If people
can't find the books they
want, they often leave the H
brary without checking any
out. Bacon said.
Last month the library sys
tem had 535 new registra
tions, Bacon noted. Since
many families have one card
per family this represents
more new people using the
library than the figures indt
cate, Bacon said.
Bacon also noted that dur
ing April more books were
brought back from the
branchet than sent out. '
Succoia Atturcd
Great Riches Predicted for Smith
After 'Tiger in Senate' Denounced
Br DICK WEST
Washington UPt A friend
and colleague of mine in the
newspaper trade has written
a book wnicn
I predict will
bring him
great richea.
The offl e i a 1
p u b 1 1 cation-
date is stui
two weeks
away, and al
ready the book
haa been de
nounced. A de
nouncement of a book , hat
long been recognized at a
sure-fire sales stimulant, but
few authors are fortunate
enough to have their workt
castigated even before they
are formally published.
I therefore offer congratu
lation! to A. Robert Smith,
correspondent for several
Oregon newspapers, who has
put together a biography of
Sen. Wayne Morse titled "The
Tiger in the Senate."
Smith's book was pounced
on by no less than the Tiger
himself, who rose on the floor
of the Senate this week to
complain that it contained un
truths, half-trutha and out-of-context
distortions.
I dont suppose that Smith,
who values his reputation at
a reporter, particularly relish
ed that sort of comment.
In reply to the Morse blast,
he said the book, while "not
without criticism," was non
partisan and gave the senator
"far more credit for valuable
public service than any of his
political enemies will ever
grant him."
can understand why
Smith, at a journalist, would
not like to have his objectlv-
Greyhound Driver Gets

Since Jandrew Joined the

ventable accident, according
to Stan A. Ossman, director of

ity questioned. But as an au
thor, he it to be envied. Many
authors are unable to get de
nounced at all.
At evidence of this, I can
cite my own experience last
fall when the literary world
was enriched by a book of
mine, the title of which has
been carefully concealed from
all but a few close friends.
I went around to just about
everybody I knew trying to
get them to denounce it, but
to no avail.
"This is the most Innocuous
book since "The Five Little
Peppers'," one of them told
me. "I'd look pretty silly de
nouncing it."
"Couldn't you just suggest
that it be kept out of the
hands of Camp Fire girlt or
something?" I begged.
"I doubt you could get thlt
book banned from a Tibetan
monastery," he replied.
I finally persuaded ' my
wife to Issue a statement say
ing the book wss unsuitable
for children under nine
months old. But it received
no circulation other than the
copies we left in mailboxes
around the neighborhood.
Now along comes Bob Smith
and, entirely without solicita
tion, has his book denounced
by a tenator. Some guyt get
all the breaks.
