A team of Tulane University surgeons operated on Davis Nov. 5. They transplanted the chimp kidney into his body in 39 min utes. Davis entered the hospital last January with a severe kid ney ailment. It steadily wor sened until he needed an arti ficial kidney to live. Doctors knew that Davis needed new( kidneys to survive. Unable to find a suitable hu man donor, they decided on the chimp. Davis agreed. "The doctors told me I couldn't live with what I've got," he said later. "I have no choice." Tre animal kidneys were tied Into Davis' system and began functioning immediately.

"Green is one of our city's of ficial colors. 1 believe we should have green police cars." By a unanimous vole the council overrode Wilt and called for bids on two green police cars.

I flew lo Hon olulu for the first in a series of discussions of U.S. military aid to Viet Nam. This is an other of those meetings to dis cuss progress of the program and find out what problems are involved and how to solve them."
