Women Heart Patients
GetHope for SafeBirths

Research conducted during the
last 10 years by faculty members
of George Washington University
promises more hope of mother
hood to young women with con-
genital or acquired heart disease,
the Washington Heart Association
reported today.
The project has shown that
almost every woman of child
bearing age with heart disease
may have at least one child. some
may have two. a few may have
three and others may have more
without danger to the mother or
baby.
The study to reduce infant and
maternal mortality rates in such
cases was undertaken beginning
in 1899 by DR.. Benjamin Man
chester, associate in medicine, in
cooperation with DR.. John L.
Parks. professor Of obstetrics. and
DR.. Clayton B. Ethridge, associate
professor of medicine.
Improved results have been due
to the combined. efforts of the
heart specialist and obstetrician,
not to any new drugs or obstetri-
cal techniques. it was said.
The heart association now is
conducting a drive for $4,000 to
expand its educational and re-
search activities and community
services. The drive will continue
through February %.

Communists Defense
Ordered 10 Finish
with Witness Today
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-Federal
Judge Harold r. Medina today
ordered defense counsel in the
month old Communist conspiracy
trial to finish cross-examining q
Government witness by o'clock
this afternoon.
The judge yesterday accused the
defense attorneys of stalling in
their lengthy questioning Of the
witness, who today began his
fourth day Of cross-examination.
The witness, Joseph F. McKen-
zie, Federal jury clerk. was the
first called by the Government in
rebuttal to the defense attack on
New York's Federal jury-picking
system.
The Judge denied a defense
application to examine thousands
of juror-qualification question
naires to determine whether the
letter &C." meaning colored. was
used on them.
Mr.. Mckenzie had testified the
designation was so used on some
missionaries which were pro-
duced in court. The defense
maintains that Negroes. among
others, are largely excluded from
jurieS here.
Yesterday Judge Medina stepped
in himself to ask questions OF
Mr.. Mckenzie and overruled de-
fense protests to his intervention.
You go round and round Robin
Hoods barn." Judge Medina said.
"and now is the time to look in.
If anything is wrong-it's wrong.
II It's right-it's right. Let's look
In and see"
At one point yesterday the judge
ruled that Federal jury clerk
Is entitled to "use discretion" in
the selection Of grand jurors.
The judge said he no longer
would permit the defense to in
troduce evidence that merely
showed such discretion was used.
His ruling rejected a defense
contention that it is illegal to diff
ferentiate in the choosing of
grand jurors and trial jurors.
Judge Medina said the special re-
sponsibilities of grand Jurors po-
sition makes 1t necessary to Sc
lect qualified persons.
