The chairman of the new
Mckay committee said, too,
that more Negroes are holding
state civil service jobs than at
any previous time. He said, for
example, that four are case
workers with the welfare COM
mission, two are warehouse
superintendent with the Ore
gon liquor control commission,
three are laboratory mechan-
les at the University of Oregon
medical school and two are en-
ployment security deputies with
the unemployment compensa-

Plummer cited Governor Me-
Kay's statement to his depart
ment heads last summer regard
ing the utilization of manpower
in the states preparedness eff
fort. The governor, calling on
the state to set an example for
all Oregonians through its sup
port of the FEP law, guaran-
teed that minority groups would
be used to the fullest and that
their work would not be re-
stricted to skills beneath their
abilities.
The Portland attorney EN-

were being supplemented
smoothly and without friction.
1t has not been necessary to
use legal penalties to settle any

DOUGLAS Mckay

Nine prominent Portland
Negroes announced today they
had formed a committee to
support the candidacy of Gov
ernor Douglas Mckay in a move
to continue at Salem "an en-

has sponsored unprecedented
progress in the field of civil

"Oregon has to take second
place to no other state when
judged on the basis of her
strides toward equality of all
her citizens during the Mckay
administration, Plummer said.
He emphasized that Cover

for elimination of discrimina-

Plummer said that the most

K0IN Asks Votes
For Civil Rights

Radio station KION may hav
been making history Friday
night, when it went on the air
with a four minute editorial
statement in favor of the civil
rights ordinance to be on the
ballot November 7.
I'VE at KOIN believe that
democracy is more than a word,
said the statement. "We know
that failure to pass the Portland
civil rights ordinance would be
used Immediately as persuasive
Communist propaganda.
"The passage of the ordi-
rance here would remove the
stigma Portland suffers in be-
ing the only major city north
of the Mason-D Dixon line not
covered by such legislation
The station management said
it thought this was the first
time for a Portland radio sta.
ton to utilize the editorial
prerogative.

BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 25.-
Episcopal Hospital announced to-
day that three Philadelphia sur
geons successfully operated on a
human heart by cutting through
the patients neck, not his chest
with a new, still unnamed instru-
ment. The announcement said it
was the first operation of its kind
in medical history.
The operation at Episcopal
Hospital was performed on the
aortic valve. described as "the
main connection" between the
heart and the rest of the body.
Blood leaving the heart must
pass through the aortic valve in
order to enter and circulate in
the veins.
The surgery was performed
Thursday on Donald Constable
jr., 26, of Johnstown. Pa, by three
members of Episcopal's thoracic
surgery department. Names of
the doctors were not disclosed.
Hospital officials said this is
the first time that the heart has
been operated on through the
neck without opening the chest. :"
Mr.. Constable's heart was over
worked due to diseased aortic
valve which restricted the amount
of blood leaving the heart to cir
culate through the body. Besides
narrowing the valve-causing a
bottleneck and forcing blood to
gush back into the heart-the dis
ease had enlarged the heart.
In the operation, the surgeons
cut open an artery in MI. Con-
stables neck, checking the blood
flow.

was withdrawn after four minutes.

ago by specialists at the George P.

inch in diameter. The first model
was made in brass However, it
broke when tested for strength so
was redesigned in stainless steel.
The tube was delivered to the
Episcopal surgeons only "a hours
before the operation.

inch stainless steel tube-With a
protruding flange attachment
was pushed down the artery until
the rounded end touched the dis
eased valve.
The surgeon said they could de-
termine when the tube had
reached the aortic valve by study
ing the distance that the tube had
been inserted and by the type of
obstruction encountered.
Continuing the probe gently,
the surgeons slipped the tube one
and half inches into the valve.

Many Tourists Travel Alcan

FAIRBANKS, (P) - A record number of motorists travelling the Alaskan highway arrived here during the past week, the high way patrol reported Saturday.
 Arrivals during the week to- taled 147 carrying 419 passengers. The week before 127 automobiles arrived carrying 3O3 passengers.
 The patrol said many of the cars eventually are stranded when when their owners cannot find work and lack the required $500 to re-cross the Canada border. An average of 75 persons a week re- portedly seek jobs to make enough money to get back to the States.
 Many of the arrivals are col lege students. Five youths arrived this week in a converted hearse in which they have now set up housekeeping.
