increase salary of the 80 Los An

to $500 per year. The vote was

A group of senator's opposed the

Loss in Flax
Due TO Frost
Not Serious

Loss in flax production due to
an early Marcn frost in Imperial
Valley can be overcome by heavy
irrigations, L. G.. Goar, superinten-
dent of the Meloland experiment
station reported Wednesday.
1t is essential that flax receive
heavy irrigation during the bloom
ing period under normal conditions
Goar said, but it is extremely im-
portant that flax injured by frost
receive heavy irrigations.
Loss will not be noticeable even
if frost caused quite severe damage
Goar explained, because the heavy
irrigation will add new leaves and
blooms to the plants.

Strong Organization
Through the years Mueller-Har-
kins have built up a strong or
ganization of nearly 100 employees.
Many of these men and women
have been with the one concern for
periods ranging from 10 to 20
years. Some of them came as boys
out of school, Some of the sons
of these early workers are now
employed in the same firm.
Since 1916 Mueller-Harkins has
been the Tacoma Buick dealer.
Several years ago the firm was
made Southwest Washington dis
fributor. All of the Buick business
for all of the Southwest Washing
ton counties passes through here
and makes Tacoma one of the
major distributors for automobiles
in the United States. All of the
N'ehNh htoNiss Wy Vii

GUAM, Raymond, Port Angeles
and Bremerton. are included in the
Tacoma zone. This distributorship
was based on the fine record Muel-
ler-Harkins had made over many
years as a dealer.
Automobile merchandising has
become much more technical since
the early days when all that was
necessary was to sell car and
then give the limited service that
was known at that time. Today
the Mueller-Harkins building is
filled with accurate machines
which do any job of repairing or
reconditioning just as it would be
done in the factory.
Many thousands of dollars worth
of parts are kept in stock here

German merchant ship Portland.
unheard from since it sailed from
Everett, Wash, Wednesday, was re-
ported tonight being trailed by three
British naval vessels somewhere off
the Pacific Coast.
The marine exchange of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce
received the information, but at
taches said they we're not at liberty
to disclose its source.
Color to the report was lent bv
the fact that, although the Austria
Ian cruiser Perth and the Cana
dian destroyers Ottawa and Resit-
gouche had been scheduled to ar
rive here Tuesday, it was later an
nounced they would not come to
San Francisco. Inquiries about the
vessels whereabouts at the British
consulate here brought reply, mo

The Portland's American passen-
gers left the ship at Everett after
being held virtual prisoners several
hours while port authorities con-
ferred concerning the vessels status.
For each American passenger who
left the ship, the Hamburg -Ameri-
can Line, her operators, became
liable for 5000 fine because of a
Federal law which prevents foreign
vessels carrying American passen-
gers between American ports. A
term bond, previously posted by the
line. covered the fines, authori-
ties said.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh today announced a
new kind of artificial heart, in
which several living organs can be
kept alive simultaneously.
1t is built on new principle, and
for the first time makes organized
artificial life possible. Several diff
ferent kinds of tissues can live in
it together.
This new artificial heart resem-
bles an hOur-glass. 1t is one piece
Of blown glass, the bottom chamber
being the conventional hour glass
form, while the top chamber is
rounded.
The tissues to be kept alive for
weeks or months are placed on the
broad, fiat bottom of the lower
chamber. Above, the upper chamber
Is partly filled with artificial blood
This red fluid flows both up and
down between chambers, driven on
the principle of a coffee percolator
But in the place of the heat
which makes percolator flow, Col
Lindbergh uses gases to drive the
blood through the heart. These are
at normal body temperature. They
enter the glass through sterile
door made of cotton fibers.
Evening star., 1939-09-03

These gases are not only the driv-
ing power for the heart, but also
the air for the living tissues. The
exhausted air passes out through
another cotton filter door. The
whole apparatus is automatic, need
ing attention only once every day or
two.
Col Lindbergh publishes the de-
tails in the Journal of Experimental
Medicine He made the new heart
for the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research A note states
that it has been used successfully
at the institute in unpublished ex-
periments by DR.. Raymond C.
Parker. Col. Lindbergh's previous
artificial hearts were made for DR.
Alexis Carrel, who retires this year
Explaining the value, an author
ity of the New York Academy Of
Medicine said: THE heart does not
beat alone. The thyroid gland does
not live by itself. The kidney does
not secrete by itself.
THE secretions of one organ af-
feet other organs. The life of one
tissue reacts upon other tissues
With this new pump it should be
possible to see the relations of living
parts to each other These pumps
are equivalent to motion pictures of
life"

ness" will be the topic used by the
Senator. his plan being to review the
part which propaganda played in
swaying American sentiment during
the last war. In this connection he
will contrast the reasons given and
claims made as to what would
result from our entry against what
has actually happened in this coun-
try and the world since the World
War years.
Contending that our neutrality
will depend largely on the ability
of public officials to distinguish
between their sympathies and the
public interest, the Senator also will
discuss the campaign to revise the

U. 5. Can Stay A|oof,
Elliott Roosevelt Says
BY the Associated Press.

>eS
FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. a.
Elliott Roosevelt, son of the Presi-
dent, said in his regular radio broad
cast tonight the United States can
live entirely free from European en-
tanglements and at peace econom-
ically and in a military way with
all peoples.
1--WE are committed to no one.
And beholden to no one," he said.
I'VE can keep it that way if we try
hard and we can let a little reason
creep into our imaginati ation and our
opinions before we act.
"~** We haven't been neutral in
spirit, because it is impossible for
decent human beings to remain neu-
trail in the face of scientific bar
barity, but as unit, as nation,
we will have to make up our minds
as to just what our course of action
will be as regards this awful destruc-
tion that is taking place throughout
the rest of the world, and, once we
have decided upon a course, which
We believe will keep us out of war,
then the whole nation must pull to-
gether as one man.
"On the shoulders of the news
paper men of this country and the
men who operate the radio stations
of the Nation hangs an awful re-
sponsibility - the responsibility to
weigh the facts, to keep to a mini
mum all propaganda of every kind,
to not permit our own feelings at
any time to creep in to color our
reports Of what Is going on in
Europa"
