Merrill, J. H. Harrison, R. E. Wilson and G. J. Dammin reported a splendid achieve m e n t. They have kept a 25-y e a r-old man alive and working for over 16 months after they transplanted in to him a kidney taken from an unrelated donor a man who had just died. The giving to the main, first before the operation, and then again later of certain drugs, kept his tissues from entirely rejecting the new kidney. This, to date, is the longest survival time experienced by any one of 13 persons who re ceived kidney transplants at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital of Boston (a pioneering center for this work), all of whom had been given drugs to suppress those immunity reactions which cause a human body to reject any foreign tissue, t ive kidneys from dead men were used, as well as some from unrelated living donors, and two from a mother and a brother. Since I960, a number of suc cessful transplants have been made putting a kidney from one alike-twin into another. Such ' transplants are almost certain to take and work well because - alike-twins are one You'll Know In 2 to 3 Months Y0UR fottl r3 QiVlp'on (j CHIID IJD3 I jj ft til) Q Q has I In fliflrfir&tvH MUSICAL TALENT An Investment in your child's future.

Phone 773-7538 I m J flesh, they both came from one ovum (tiny egg). There is not much sense in transplanting a kidney from one brother into another or even from a mother into her son or daughter until the surgeons learn more about knocking out the resistance that will almost certainly cause the transplanted tissue soon to be destroyed and rejected. Can Pick Person One hopeful discovery is that with chemical tests one can now pick out a person whose body chemicals are so like those of the patient that if his. kidney is used for a transplant, it has a chance of surviving. Dr. Irvine Page, of Cleveland, tells me that today he sees peo ple with severe Bl ight's disease who, without justification, and because of a lack of scientific knowledge, feel bitter when no j one of their close relatives will come forward to donate a kid- ney. The relatives hold back be-; cause they have been well ad- vised ny tncir doctor that, as yet, there is little sense in their giving a kidney, because the chances are almost 100 per cent that their gift will quickly be destroyed, and hence will do no good. This Is why, if, right now I were dying with badly diseased j kidneys, 1 would not let any! loved one give me a transplant j unless experts in this field, ! like those in Boston, could as- j sure me that, with some new drug and perhaps x-rays, they ' could knock out my resistance ' to foreign tissue. , Safety of Drugs That Stops Ovulation j Today, many women write, saying that they have heard that all soils of terrible things can happen to them if they take each day a pill which keeps the ovary from discharging an ovum (tiny egg). Old wives tell them that if they stop taking 1 the pill, they will become so i exceedingly fertile they will ' have a child a year, or they I tell them that alter taking the I pill their menopause won't come 1 until they are 60 or 70. Aflcr reading almost everything that j i nas oecn puDlislicd on these pills. I see very little reason (or ; fearing their use. About the ' only question now is whether ' rarely they produce clotting of blood in an artery or a vein. A while ago, at a conference held on the subject. Dr. Cclso Ramon Garcia, of Harvard Medical school, reported what happened to some 3,000 women who had taken the anli-ovula-tion hormones over an eight year period. He said that upon stopping (he medicine ovulation usually resumed in from four to six weeks or sooner. The fact that these women who stopped taking the medicine got back their normal fcrtilily and soon had a normal pregnancy is , much against the idea thai the drug can be hurtful. A while ago, someone pub lished a statement that with the use of these pills, women arc going to remain fertile into their wis. At a recent conference. Dr. Robert B. Grrenhlatt a profes sor of endocrinology t study of male and female hormones) said that Mich a notion is ridicu lous. He went on to tell about the large number of French Ca nadian women who have large families sometimes 17 children in 15 years. He said these wom en had had a chance to ovulate only once or twice a year for many years, and yet their meno pause came al the expected time, around 50 years of age. Dr. Grcenblatl spoke also of a woman he knew who, because of a tumor in her adrenal glands, never menstruated from the age of 21 to the age of 41. When the tumor was removed, she menstruated normally, and even with her long period of time without an ovulation, she got her menopause at the age of 50. I always marvel at the wav in which some old ladies love to scare the life out of their younger friends. The Underworld Canary I Valachi May Become Roving Minstrel In Various Grand Jury Appearances If you arc approaching meno pause, you'll want to read Dr. Alvarez, informative booklet "Menopause and Hysterec tomy." To obtain your copy send 25 cents and a large, self addressed, stamped envelope with your request to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez. Dept. MMT, Box 957, Des Moines, Iowa, 50304. Bv HARRY FERGUSON WASHINGTON (UPI) - If Joseph Valachi survives the ills that flesh is heir to and the anger of the underworld, he is likely to become a wandering minstrel. He will go from grand jury to grand jury around the country "singing," meaning tell ing all he knows about his for mer colleagues in crime. That is one way the federal government can cash in on its most notorious stool pigeon. Murder is not a federal offense and if prominent gangsters are going to be convicted of homi cides which Valachi says they ordered or committed, it will have to be done at local levels and on the basis of his testi mony. Convicting a big-time gang ster of anything is not as easy as it appears to be on the face of things. The outstanding devel opment of the last 15 years has been the gangsters' invasion of legitimate business. Some of them have been able to abandon crime. Others still are up to their necks in underworld activi ties, but are fairly secure behind a facade of legitimate business. They can hire people to do the dirty work. Visits District Attorney One of the top gangsters nam ed by Valachi was Thomas Lu- chese, alias Three Finger Brown. The other day in Mincola, L. I., district attorney William Cahn was mildly surprised to receive a visit from Luchcse, who was accompanied by a lawyer. He had come, he said, to explain that he was a law-abiding busi nessman, no matter what news paper reports had to say about him. i The evolution of the American gangster took place in three steps. At the turn of the century there were gangs (the Hudson Dusters in New York, for in stance) who were small time operators. Robbery, picking pockets and such minor offenses were about the limit of their activities. The organized gangs, operat ing on a big scale, came in with prohibition, which opened up a lucrative market for illegal al cohol. Al Capone was not the only one to cash in on it, but he became the best known. The repeal of prohibition left the gangsters with lots of cash on hand and they began looking around for places to invest it. "Underworld kings have grown into a dominating force on the national scene," says J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investiga tion. "Most have amassed great wealth and accumulated major holdings in widespread business enterprises. Some unions are controlled and exploited by untouched by Valacht's revela tions. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy puts it this way: "Let me make clear that no one believes the tide of battle has turned, al though we have made signifi cant progress. It is not likely to be decided by one set of laws. hoodlums." ed for a dozen violations of the , one anti-crime program or one A Justice Department man ! fire laws or the sanitary code, j administration. Ultimate sue who has been fighting gangsters h. was rpadv t0 tnrow jn lne cess will require years of coop- for 30 years explained how they went about trying to make themselves into legitimate busi ness men. "For a big operation," he said, "the gangster always had to have good connections with corrupt officials in city and lo cal governments. The tax asses sor was the best one. He could bedevil a business man with higher and higher assessment: until the man was ready to giv up and sell out to the gang. "A fire inspector or health in spector, in the pay of the mob, also was valuable. By the tinr a business man had been ticket- towel. Or in some cases he would sell a half interest to the mob and then, of course, he eventually would be muscled out completely." Even if Valachi does the max imum damage to the under world in his round of testimony, organized crime is not likely to disappear overnight. Cosa Nos tra, which is what he calls the national crime syndicate, appar ently spreads through eight or more cities, but it does not have a monopoly on racketeering. There are thousands of hood lums, big and little, who will be eration among federal and lo cal agencies. jgllgj f Phone 772-4534 j THE MOVING MEM WERE SLOWING THEIR BEAT JUST PLAIN LAZY?
