u. ). Firm on Policy
Against Any More
Jap Reparaiions

The United States today stood
by its policy against any more
reparations from Japan. rejecting
Philippine and Chinese protests rs
based on serious misconceptions
Of American policies and the jap
anese problem.
A State Department statement
asserted the halt in removal OF
equipment from Japan for war
damage claims was necessary
for achievement of basic Allied
ohjectiyes for q democratic. self
sustaining Japan.
Peliey Stated May IL.
The American policy was an
nounced May IL In the Far East
ern Commission. bringing bitter
attacks from Philippine and Chi
nese representatives on the COM
mission.
Pointing out tnat the United
States poured more than 81 .ooo.- =
000. 900 In economic assistance
into Japan. the new American
statement issued 3ate yesterday
said fatty that this country ''car"
not indefinitely bear the burden
of Japan's support.
Further reparations removals

hamper efforts to make the jap
anese economy self-sustaining,
The statement declared that
Japan already has been CON-
pletely disarmed" and that under
American prodding the japanese
people are helping themselves 70
become self-supporting.
Conflict Ii Denied.
Answering Philippine and Chi
nese charges, ID insisted that there
is no conflict between the Amer.
ican policy and the Potsdam

cisions.
As for criticism that the United
States shows greater regard for
former enemy than for Its Allies,
the rebuttal asserted the objec-
tive of q peaceful Japan could not
be achieved by permitting the
japanese 10 starve, and that the
Allies must bear their proper
tionate measure of sacrifice.

Tooth anniversary convention two
years ago. when more than iS.600

Doctors here divided their time
between scientific meetings and
crucial policy-making sessions, al
which the organization decided 70

surance attack on medical and
health needs.
At the final scientific meetings
yesterday. DR.. Claude 8. Beck OF
Western Reserve University ex-
planned ewly-developed apparatus
to carry out resuscitation Of pa
tients whose hearts have stopped
beating.
Must Work Fast.
| DR.. Beck said that any patient
with q good heart and good pair
of lungs can be resuscitated," but
that the surgeon has only from
3 to 5 minutes 10 force the heart
to begin pumping blood before
irreparable damage is done TO
brain cells through lack Of oxygen.
It's tragic to see how easy 1t Is
to start the heart beat and then
see you were too slow in getting
started" the surgeon declared
There are two vital elements 70
resuscitation. he said. The first
Is to get q good supply Of oxygen
into the lungs. The second Is to
cut through the chest wall and
begin squeezing the heart in order
to circulate the oxygen-carrying
blood.
The new equipment. demon
strated In a movie. carries out
both these functions. One part OF
1t is a machine which forces pure
oxygen through a throat tube into
the lungs, and maintains lung
expansion and contraction at .
steady constant rate. The other
equipment consists Of metal sue
ton cups. manually operated.
with which the surgeon can open
and close the heart like an &C
cordian" in order to circulate the
blood.
Steadied by Novocains.
After the heart stops beating
,and pushing the blood through
the body-it either is still or goes
into O convylsive. trembling reac-
ton. DR.. Beck said q slight
amount Of novocaine steadies the
heart, then the normal rhythm Is
started with the help Of drugs
either by hand massage Of move
ment with the suction cups.
DR.. Beck said he thought the
apparatus should be in every op-
Grating room. ready for immedi-
ate use, but stressed that the most
important thing Is for the sur
geon to spring into action" at
the first sign Of heart failure to
fill the lungs with oxygen and
begin the heart massage.
At the same meeting, DR.. L. II.
