BOSTON, July 5.-Mrs. Helen
Keith's heart stopped for II min
utes on an operating table but she
is alive today.
An account of the San Fran
cisco woman's experience-how a
surgeon maintained heart action
and kept her alive by massaging
the heart-was published today by
Peter Bent Brigham Hospital.
The report was made by DR.
N. A. Wilhelm, director of the
hospital.
In San Francisco. Mrs. Keith
today said she is feeling fine and
can do some housework.
I'm much better" she added.
Bostonian Was Surgeon.
She identified the surgeon as
DR.. Dwight Harken Of Boston.
She said she is well enough to
walk about the house and even
short distances outside.
Few people have been revived
when the heart has been stopped
as long as Mrs. Keith's. the hos
pital said.
Not only had her heart
stopped" DR.. Wilhelm's report
said, but it had gone into what is
called 'ventricular fertilization a
final dying form of quivering COM
monty considered fatal, The pc
riod of arrest was eight minutes
and the fertilization four minutes"

\ Yet the 37-year- -old California
woman, mother of two children
was strong enough to leave the
hospital 70 days after the opera
ton and make the long trip across
the continent. Today, nearly six
weeks after the experience, she
lives with her family at 402l
Twentieth street, San Francisco.
Mrs. Keith, suffering from
rheumatic heart disease, was op-
Grated on May 26 to correct a
severe obstruction of the mitral
valve. This guards the opening
between the left auricle and the
left ventricle and prevents re-
turn of the blood to the auricle

second and third ribs on the left
side of the chest.
This method Of treating the
heart damaged usually by rheu-
matte fever was developed by Dr.
Dwight Harken of the Peter Bent
Brigham Hospital surgical staff.
1t is the result of many years of
research by DR.. Harken and his
colleagues in the field of heart
surgery. Without the assistance
of dogs in the early phases of this
work the development never could
have been applied to humans.
Many severe cases of this type
of heart disease have been re-
stored to useful lives by this
method recently"
Both DR.. Harken and DR.. Sam
Iuel Levine. the hospital cardiolo-
Igist. expressed admiration for
Mrs. Keith's courage In going into
the operation under local an
Iesthesia after two previous at
tempts to withstand general an
Iesthesia had failed.
"One of the most remarkable
features of this prolonged expert
|ence of cardiac arrest" the hos
pitfalls account said, was that
Mrs. Keith was able to talk. an
.sWer questions and move her arms
and legs within half an hour of
the time her heart action was
restored"
The surgeons also employed a
method of pressure TRANSMISSION
during the operation.
In addition to the surgeon
maintaining artificial heart action
with his hands," the hospital ex-
Iplained, blood transfusions un-
der high pressure were delivered
directly into the heart system.
This pressure TRANSMISSION is made
possible by the use of plastic
equipment for storing and trans
fusing blood. developed by DR..

But such a tide as moving

Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from
out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness
of farewell,
When l embark;
For tho from out our bourne

The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to
face
When | have crossed the bar.

Make Life Beautiful =.
JAMES SULLIVAN

One of the worst faults in the
world is selfishness. We can see
it and experience it every where
we go. We read of It in our news
papers every day. 1t is one trait
we could get along better with
out.
We can we'll see that most of
our troubles originate because
of selfiShness. We all possess it
to a degree. 1t takes love to
overcome such a fault.
If we continue to go through
life just thinking of ourselves
then we have missed the JOY of
living. We are indeed living in
a small way when we are only
living for ourselves.
1t is very easy for anyone to
become selfish. After selfishness
comes greed, then it develops to
a state when one wants to pos
sess everything. 1t is being dem
onstrated everyday in Korea
and other countries, our boys are
fighting and dying because of it.
How can we ever do a way
with these evil things that wreck
our lives? There is only one way
and that is Christianity with fell
lowship and love for our neigh
bors. 1t is impossible to buy
peace with money. If it were, we
should have peace with the
World. We have given them en-
ough. If we study the situation
carefully, we can see it is spirit
ual, selfishness which causes
people to want every thing for
themselves. Our prayer in these
days should be not only for our
selves but for others also. Jesus
said Il have overcome the
World" It's love, not ammun-
ition that causes peace. Why
don't the World try it? It's free.

The American Way
Continued from 1-B)

Surely at this time when the
nation is being taxed to the hilt
for the defense program, we
cannot afford the luxury of
further sOcializing our economy.
The President has stated repeat
edly that all non-defense ex-
penditures are to be pared to the
bone. Then, in the next breath
he announces that he will con-
tinue his efforts to bludgeon his
Fair Deal, socialistic program
through the Congress. Never in
all our history has such double
talk come from the lips of a
President of the United States.
So, it's up to you and me to
stop any futher reckless waste of
the taxpayers money. I've gone
on record with my Congressman
and Senators that not one single
penny which is essential to the
defense program is to be spared,
but that there must be no further
appropriations for carrying this
nation further down the road to
socialism and eventual destruct-
ion.
Respectfully l suggest, in fact,
urge you to do the same-noW
before it is too late. The late,
but not lamented, Lenin predict
ed that Capitalistic America
would spend itself to destruction.
For some time we've been doing
our best to make Lenin look like
wise prophet. It's time to start
plugging up to the holes in our
leaky economy, lest history re-
corded Lenip as true progno-
sticator. - George Peck.

here in Washington, since these
controls are expected. to be in
effects for several years as ex-
pansion of needed production is
obtained, not only in farm COM
modities, but in shipping, rail-
roads, electric power, basic
chemicals, steel, iron, aluminium,
fibers, and many other metals.
Where sufficient expansion is
needed, direct controls may be
eased to be superseded by more
indirect controls.
In the meantime, the govern
ment agencies are asking for pa
tience, not an outstanding virtue
of the American people, until
they can work out definite and
more permanent controls over
the nations economy.
According to the bureau of ag-
ricultural economics the farmer
is now getting about so cents or
better out of the consumer dol
lar spent for food. This compares
to about 40 cents for the pre-war
average, 1885 to 1899.
The farm credit administration
in recent report said that farm
ers have recently added 38 more
production credit associations
which are now fully farmers
owned making a total of l76 of
these credit cooperatiVeS now
owned outright by farmers.
This is about 35 per cent of the
500 production credit associations
in the nation and represents an
investment by farmers of about
$40 million dollars.
Aside from legislation already
introduced intended to give
small business a large share of
government defense business, the
national federation of independ-
ent business, during this session
of the congress, will concentrate
it's pressure on antitrust action
to protect small business at the
local level. First point in the fed

priation for enforcement of anti

both condemning and upholding

Most of Tuesday was, in my
opinion wasted. The only bill
discussed and finally passed was
one changing the title "prosecut- t.
ing attorney" to that of district
attorney" We are not sure yet
whether or not it will nullify
many sections of the General
Code. Most of speakers proved
that no good cause would be SER
we'd by the change but the pro-
secutors did not like their pre-
sent title and desired to be
known as district attorneys"

thick as flies in summer especi-

several insurance bills that are
creating considerable discussion,

who ask for them.
