Blue Babies
 MayBeSayed

CHICAGO, Nov 12-A new way of performing the operation to save the lives of blue babies" = introducing a surgical feat pre- viously considered impossible-was announced teddy by three North western University physicians.
 Instead of connecting with less important artery, the surgeons for the first time tapped the body's main artery, the great abdominal aorta, which springs from the hearts left chamber and gives rise to all the arteries of the circula- tory system.
 Physicians said the operation would not benefit all blue chil- dren," who are born with crippled hearts, hut would help the ma- icrity to overcome otherwise hope less invalidism and in some cases prevent death.
 Details of thu new surgical tech nique, first performed on hu- man being Ca 2-months-old girD cnly two months ago, were an- nounced in the Journal of the Am erican Medical Association by Drs. Willis J Potts, Sidney Smith and Stanley Gibson of the Children's Memorial Hospital at the Univer- e;t,-,r ,,,alioo1 col,cn1
