 Tt will be at least 10 days be- fore we know whether the opera tions are successful" he declared after finishing the first transplant.
 Michael F. Boucher, 73, retired Hot Springs, Ark, bricklayer, was first in the operating room for the transplantS. He was followed by Frank McCracken, 49, Fort Smith piano tuner. Each had one eye which transplants might help.

SHAW TRADE bRiNCS OUT SHARP WORDS
U. 5. DeeIgateto U. N. 5. (. Tangled with Gromyko,
 Balkan Frontier Question
By JOHN A. PARRIS, Jr.

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, May IT. -R--Russia and the United States appeared headed today for showdown battle in the United Ma tions Security Council over a Slav revolt against maintaining an international watch on the troub- led Balkan frontier areas.
 Representative of the two pow CTS tangled yesterday over Yugo- slavia's right to deliver a "tirade against the Greek government in the council
 U. S. Deputy Delegate Herschel V. Johnson and Soviet Deputy For eign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko traded sharp words after the American interrupted speech by Sava N. Kosanovic, Yugoslav rep resentative who had been invited to the council tahle to give his countrys views on Balkan in quiry group.
 As the Yugoslav representative reiterated charges that the pres ent Greek government was respon- sible for all border incidents along the frontiers with Albania, Yugo- slavia and Bulgaria, Johnson ln- terrupted.
 Do we have to put up With this tirade against the Greek gov ernment? I've never heard such an astonishing statement made Tn the Security Council
 Kosanovic retorted:
 "Yugoslavia has a right to de- fend herself"
 And then Gromyko declared:
 T ask the United States delegate not to interrupt and let the Yugo- slav delegate speak
 Johnson retorted
 T don not recognize the right of the Soviet delegate to tell me when and how to speak"
 Gromyko shouted:
 T suggest the United States delegate is not the arbiter."
 Council Chairman Alfonzo Lo- peg of Colombia finally managed to break up the heated exchange and instructed Kosanovic to con- tinue his statement, although some of it may not be relevant to the question.
 The council had been called into session to debate Soviet resoiu- ton demanding sharp curtailment of powers for an interim U N commission Investigating warfare along northern Green frontiers.

ished bicycle was damaged and her
wrist broken.
Her distress and contrition, as the
Brands hurried her to doctor, were
not for herself but rather concerned
the inconvenience she felt she was
causing the tourists. Later in her
parents neat but humble home, her
fathers greatest relief came in re-
sponse to Mr.. Brands negative reply
to his worried question, did the
police pick you up." God be
thanked" he remarked with deep
emotion.
Until the advent of war the Brands
kept in touch with Joanna and her
parents, counselling them and help
ing them to give her the education
necessary to enable her to become
a school teacher.
AS soon as postwar communica-
tions could be established they fol-
lowed up their letters by packages
of food and clothing sent through
international post, since full duty
must be paid by the recipients on
CARE packages sent into any Rus
sian zone of occupation. When they
first began sending Joanna their
food packages she weighed only Is
pounds and could scarcely drag her
self through her days teaching
routine. A recent letter from her
in English follows:
your letter told us you had again
asked one Of your food distributing
agencies to send us a package. 1t
is very much touching ds this the
right word?) that you wish to get
us through the winter. We cannot
express to you our thankfulness for
what you have already sent. You
cannot see our radiant eyes or look
into our thankful hearts when
your packages come. This is pity.
Perhaps, though. you can feel our
thankful thoughts coming to you
across the great distances. Every
thing is a preciousness for us in our
poor country.
"You write us that you sent box
of clothes and you are uncertain
about sizes. Please do not think you
are sending things that will not be
useful to us, or our friends. We
can make everything well-f1tting to
some one. It is as I have told you-
even before the war we had not
enough money for clothes. Then,
when I began to earn money, by
that time there was nothing to buy.
Thus, every ones clothing is thin
and patched.
Those who have no one to help
them are desperate. There is the
black market, but that is impossible
for poor folk such as U.s. One meal
would cost more than we could earn
in a month. Some times the police
tries to destroy this iniquitous black
market which rules the scum Of our
folk. In all Of this misery some Of
our folks have become so bad, 1t Is
as II they we're animals trying to
destroy each other. I am full Of
contempt some times that one Ger
man will not help the other, even
though I love our people as perhaps
e. mother loves a degenerate son.
But perhaps I should not say these
things, for 1t might be If we did
not have you to help us, we should
be no better. Hunger drives people
to strange, mad acts.

ing weeks, we shall have electric
