Chinese Have Word,

Perhaps this won't sound like the

The Chinese are reading all
about what Americans are doing
in Korea with "gas-blowing ma
chimes" and flaming arrow

A "gas-blowing machine" is a

a bazooka.
Chinese is a simple language.
But it wasn't built to translate
the simple terms of modern war

This heart stoppage Is called

Against an enemy Of known

powerful new enemy. making un-

New Artificial Heart
Ready for First Test

Asseeio.sd Press Science Editor

CLEVELAND. Dec. 4.-some
day soon a human who is "clini-
cally" dead may be brought back
to life by a new artificial heart
and-lung machine.
One machine that may do this
is being kept in readiness during
difficult heart operations at
Halanemanrl Hospital in Philadel-
phia, in case the patients heart
stops.
The machine and its potentiali-
ties were described yesterday by
DR.. Charles P. Bailey. chief Of
chest surgery, and associates at
Hahnemann. to the Ohio chapter
of the American College Of Chest
Physicians.
1t has worked successfully on
dogs. It kept one dog alive for
Il minutes, while it pumped her
blood and gave 1t new oxygen. he
said.
It took dark-red blood from two
veins near the heart, by-passing
the dogs own heart and lungs,
and pumped refreshed. bright red
blood back into an artery in the
neck. The dog recovered COM
, pletely after the machine was dis
connected, and her own heart
took its normal work.

II this can be done safely with

kinds Of chest operations and

The machine is the latest of a

keep beating, receiving nourish-
ment from the tiny capillaries, but
would have no work to do.
Medically, the spare heart-lung
could help in severe asthma or
pneumonia, or heart diseases
where the heart needs temporary
help. The machine might be con-
nected just to vein and artery
in the neck, refreshing and re-
circulating the blood, but sending
it through the body's own heart
and lungs as we'll.
