DOCTOR WANTS TO TRY TO RESTORE
 LIFE OF HUMAN
Tried It on Dogs With Poor Success-TwO States
 Rejected Offer
BY JAMES A. SULLIVAN Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent) l

San Francisco, Oct 16-U.P.)- Hope of Dr Robert E. Cornish for a human guinea pig to use in re- storation of life experiments cen- tered to-day in Governor Edwin G. Johnson of Colorado who already has permitted Colorados convicts to be used in scientific experiments.
 Dr Cornish addressed letters to governors of three states in which lethal gas is used to execute the condemned, asking permission to attempt restoration of life on the body of an executed convict, Ari- zona and Nevada answered em- phatically, no. But Governor John- son declined to summarily reject the proposal. He said he would be glad to discuss the subject with Dr Cornish further.
 Dr Cornish has experimented with resuscitation method by exe- cutting dogs, then attempting to re. store them to life. This method, he claims, has proven successful with lower animals and he would like to extend .he experiments to humans, believing they might result in sav- ing thousands of lives.
 Warden Matt Penrose of Nevada prison said he was willing to take a chance" but Governor Morley T. Griswold said emphatically that he did not approve. Governor B. B. Moeur of Arizona said that so long as he was governor no such exper- iments would be undertaken in his state.
 Cornish,s appeal did not indi- cate whether he had succeeded in restoring the mental processes of the animals he already has asphyx- lated and revived. After trying his method on two dogs which died second deaths within few hours, the former University of California research staff member has sue. ceeded in keeping alive since April 13 a dog he calls Lazarus W. Then last month, using slightly varied technique, he killed and then re- stored to life another dog he calls Lazarus V.
 Lazarus W, is a half-wit, Cornish admits. The dogs brain was inn paired in the experiment and he can't stand on his hind legs. But the scientists has the highest hopes of restoring, full mental powers to Lazarus V and on the basis of his progress he addressed his appeal for human subjects.
 His resuscitation process is in- tended to revive persons asphyx- lated by gas, electrocuted or meet ing death by shock. After heart ac- tion has stopped. Cornish injects a solution containing heparinor liver extract into the veins of his canine subjects.> Then he places the sub ject on a teeterboard and gently rocks it until the heart begins beat ing again.
 Governor Johnson of Cobra do permitted convicts to be injected with an experimental anti-tubercu- losis serum. The four convicts who submitted to the tests in the Col orado state penitentiary. were promised freedom if they survived.
 These experiments have not been completed, but the, four subjects show no, symptoms of tuberculosis because of the serum and all are we'll.

the city either not aware tha& positions are available, or who do not fully understand the procedure of applying for the jobs.
 Several musicians have asked whether it is necessary to be union members in order to obtain the work. The anwser to this of course is no. The applicant is investigates by EZRA workers to determine his eligibility for relief, ths being the only requirement.. Further dif- ficulty in organization of the band lies in the fact that only a certain number of each type of instru- ment is needed.
 Under the direction of Cosmo Venditti the band gave it's first con- cert yesterday for park officials and their guests at the Hamilton park pavilion. Plans are in prog- ress for several public concerts to be announced in the near future. They will be arranged by Irving w. Harrison, superintendent 0r parks.

HAZEN, SULTAN
WANT CIRCUS
PARADE
But Insist It Come Around Dis
trict Building So They
Can Watch It
Hold your breath, you Circu

Hold your breath, you Circus
Fans!
There's going to be a circus
parade in this town on Septem-
Der II, if the two circus fan Com
miSsioners, Mel Hazen and Dan
Sultan, can fix it up so that it
will not stop all traffic in the
business sections of the city.
In fact, Major Brown, Superin-
tendent of Police, will have to fix
it so that Mel and Dan can see
that parade out of the upper
windows of the District Building
or else. That's all there is
to it.
1t Just Must
An advance agent of the Ha-
genbeck Circus laid down his
cards on the table in front of
the Superintendent of Police yes
terday and said there just must
be a parade. Major Brown, who
will have to do the policing and
traffic directing to some extent,
didn't care to grant the request.
All those elephants, animal
wagons, Wild West stage coaches,
clowns, lovely lady horseback
riders and the calliope traipsing
down F Street or Pennsylvania
Avenue would cause too much
trouble in sections already so
congested that there are BOT
plans for rerouting the street
cars and bus lines.
Well, Major Brown was about
to turn down the parade, when
Commissioners Hazen and Sui
tan, both of them confessing
they are nothing but kids when
it comes to circuses and pa
rades. suggested that the route
be changed so that the parade
will come down First Street into
Louisiana Avenue and thence in
to Constitution Avenue to Four
tenth Street N. w. and then
turn around the front of the
District Building so that these
two Commissioners can see it all.
He'll Quit Work
Commissioner Hazen said TO-
day:
"Sure, we want that parade,
and 1 hope the circus will see
fit to accept our route. And
if it comes along here I will
not do any work until it has
passed BY"
The Commissioners proposed
route is now being discussed by
the circus people. If they want
to parade on Constitution Ave-
nue.. they can have the permit to
do so.

Before the Shrine OF st. John
Vianney in the little parish church
of st. Mary's, in the rolling
country of Southern Maryland,
almost daily there come to kneel
and pray large numbers of the
lame, the halt, and the blind.
For in this little church, in one
of the oldest dioceses in the
country, there have been per-
formed recently cures that are
Well-nigh miraculous.
The shrine to the Saint was
erected only three years ago. And
yet in that brief time, hundreds
Of the afflicted have come to pray
for relief from their ills. And
the prayers of many have been
answered.
More than 100 cases of physical
cures have been reported and
verified, while hundreds have
gained spiritual and mental re-
lief.
Father William Baldus, Wash
ington priest, who has been pastor
of the parish for the past six
years, and who three years ago
established the Shrine, does not
refer to the cures as miracles"

has been done, and many people
have been helped.

Ken MURRAY
Says

The Governments shipping
Of American gold to Europe has
caused quite a disturbance.
The value of the dollar has been
jumping around faster than a
Hawaiian dancer with her grass
skirt on fire.
Uncle Sam is paying so much
for gold that the European
countries are saying that we
worship the bullion. Il guess
they think that a bullion" is a
golden calf"
The increase or decrease of
money affects everything else
When that armOred truck
was robbed of all that gold and
silver, look how much activity
it caused among the cOppers.
so REMEMBER:
Most Of us don't care whether
the design on the dollar is gold
or silver. We all have our own
designs on it.

Boy and Girl EIopers Found
Asleep in Auto Denied
Plea to Wed

Sixteen-year-old Cyril j. Allen
and Elizabeth Ann Coughlin, both
giving their address as Newport,
R. l., discovered the truth OF the
old adage about the course OF true
love today when hard hearted
washington police officers refused
their plea that they be permitted
to wed.
Sleeping in Auto
They were picked up early today
peacefully slumbering in a parked
automobile in the 1400 block OF
Ridge Road Southeast.
Taken to the Receiving Home,
they explained that they had met
recently in Newport, the home
town of young Allen, and, falling
in love at first sight, had started
South to begin life together. The
girl was visiting in Newport, en-
route to her home in Hyann!s,
Mass, from a trip to the World
Fair.
Allen sold his beloved pet dog
for $40 to obtain funds to finance
the trip. Somewhere between
Washington and Newport they met
a man known to them as Frank
Connors, IS, who told them he was
driving to his home in South Caro-
lima.

Apparently Connors was more
sympathetic with young love than

with their romance is somewhat
vague.
