Transplanted Kidney

G. J. Dammin

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

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.

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.

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.
