ID. {. Medical Society
Votes ; 10 | 10 Admit
Qualified Negroes

District Medical Society men,
bers have voted by an almost 3 to
l majority to admit qualified
Negro physicians.
Society officials said the ballot
the third taken on the subject in
the last IA months-would be con-
Isidered an expression of the de-
sires of the society members. It
will thus be considered a mandate
to the society's Board of Censors,
which passes first on membership
applications, to deny no qualified
physician because Of race, creed
or color.
Society members approved, 735
to 296, an addition to the society's
Iby-laws containing this specific
wording.
officials said this did not mean
Negro physicians would be auto
Imatically admitted, any more
than any other physicians elec-
ton is automatic. However, the
vote will be considered a directive
to the Board of Censors to con-
slider every applicant on his mer-
its alone. There has been nothing
in the groups constitution or by
laws which specifically prohibited
Negro members.
Executive Committee Meets.
The ballots were tabulated last
night at the medical society head
quarters, 1718 M street NV, dur
ing a session of the groups Exec
utive Committee. Results of the
vote was announced by DR.. Frank
D. Costenbader, who was sue
ceeded as president Of the group
today by DR.. Wallace M. Yater.
Society members were polled by
mail last April on the same sub
ject. At that time, they approved
the non-segregation principle by
a vote of 674 to 290. However.
officials of the group termed this
"an expression of sentiment" and
called for a more formal vote
with ballot boxes set up at So
ciety headquarters.
This vote was taken this spring
Because fewer than half the So
ciety's $500 members voted in
this special election, officials de-
stroyed the ballots without count
ing them. A second, but binding
mail vote then was ordered.
Applications Held Up.
Officials said "some five" Negro
applied for membership
after the sentiment" vote was
taken. These applications were
held up pending more definite
action.
Members of the Medico-Chirur-
gical Society-an organization of
Negro physicians here-have had
a standing invitation to attend
the medical society's scientific
sessions.
However. because they were not
members OF the society. they could
not join the American Medical
Association and take an active
part in that groups scientific
meetings.
Medical societies in many South
ern States now admit Negro
physicians.

succession of explosive COM
ments while he worked. This was
three-year-old girl - you could
see her blond head and one tiny
hand, half clenched, tinged blue,
lying beside it.
looked at her head and at her
hand, and then | looked at the
CHASTITY opening in her chest, in
which could see the aorta and
heart pulsing, into which a saline
solution was being squirted, and
blood being sucked out through a
tube, and the long shiny clamps
and retractors and wanted to cry.
Then suddenly the doctor said
in a loud voice, I'm afraid / won't
be able to do anything for this
child" And he turned to the visit
ing English surgeon, a big white
haired, pink-faced man, and said,
81 hoped / would be able to
show you a case l could be proud
of, but now I'm afraid not"
Then he explained that the pull
monary artery was terribly small
and short. Qn his operation he
makes a slit in one branch of the
pulmonary artery and another in
the aorta and sews the edges of
the two Sits together. connecting
the two arteries and increasing
blood flow to the lungs He went
on working for a while and then
turned to me and said, well, I'm
afraid there's nothing can do. I'll
know in ten minutes, Mr.. Cabot,
whether I'llmake my appointment
with you on time or not" Then
he explained that this was very
blue child who had suddenly got
much worse and would have died
in six months or less.
Two Hours
1HEN he told me to come down
where / could really see what was
happening. So I did, though l
didn't much want to, and the
operation went on and on, while
stood on a little wooden stand,
beside the operating table, not
two feet from the site of the
operation. l stayed there for two
damned hours and can tell you
that in my whole life, and this
goes for all the plays I ever saw
and all the books l ever read, /
have never been through an ex-
perience which could begin to
touch this for the most excruci-
ating suspense.

comes when he loosens the aorta
clamp, very slowly, and the pay
off is whether the blood will flow
into the tiny, narrowed pulmonary
artery, because that little flow of
blood is what is going to make this
child live or die.
And then you can actually see
the blood pulsing through the pull
monary artery its walls are
tissue-paper thin almost and
you feel a terrific sense of relief
and triumph in the doctors voice
when he turns to one of the visit
ing surgeons. He invites him to
put his hand out and feel the
ssthrill' from the pulmonary
artery transmitted along a
long piece of bent metal.
Then he walks out of the oper-
ating room, leaving the two assist
ing surgeons to sew up the incision
and / join him in the dressing
room where he sits and smokes
three cigarettes in row, chain
fashion, and you can really sense
the elation now, because he has
pulled it off again, and this time
against frightening odds. :.
Parents Waiting
We CHArTED awhile as he got
dressed, and then he took me
downstairs with him - this was
about half an hour later - and
we went to the room where the
child was now in her bed under an
oxygen tent. The parents were
waiting to hear from the surgeon.
Outside the room, the father came
up and asked, just like in the
movies, will my kid live?" And
the doctor told him, There's some
danger in the next forty eight
hours, but the operation went off
beautifully and l don't think
there's much to worry about now" !"
The father just choked up and
said again, "Is she going to be
all right?" CThis was his only
child.) And the doctor said very
sweetly in the warmest. most
charming fashion, Eyes, your little
girl is going to run and play" and
the father really choked up and -
this is in the scripts too, but this
was life - grabbed the doctors
hand and then turned away very
fast and went back into the kids
room. And / don't think that any
thing that will ever happen to me
again will give me as much of a
kick as that did. The End

AND THE CHILD LIVED
Continued from page seven

Continued from page secen
AS the doctor explained, once
he-opens up a chest, in a case like
this, there is no turning back, no
just sewing it up again if he can't
do what he started out to do. So
he has to go ahead and do the
best he can, no matter how diff
cult, because when he's through,
the kid either lives or dies.
Almost Stopped
AND you know that, and you
watch him slicing down through a
great mass of tissue, shot through
with blood vessels, many of which
have to be tied off as he goes, to
get to the aorta, knowing that if
he makes the slightest miscalcu-
lation and cuts into the aorta wall
itself, the child will bleed to death
in minutes. There was one point
when the heart suddenly started to
jump around, almost stopped, and
he snapped out, Il don't like the
way the heart looks. God, don't
like il" And the anesthetist moved
very fast and did something and
apparently that crisis was solved.
But there was a new one every
few minutes and because the doc
tor was so vocal about them, you
kept sensing that this little child's
life, very literally, was hanging on
a thread. incidentally, the kid is
given steady blood TRANSMISSION and
nurse keeps pouring water into a
container filled with ice which
flows into a water mattress under
the kid, kept ice-cold to reduce her
temperature and lower the oxygen
demand of the body.
Then there is the dramatic mo-
ment when aorta and pulmonary
lie exposed, and he puts a special
clamp around the aorta and makes
a slit about a quarter of an inch
long in the part that is pinched
out by the clamp. When he did
this, blood began to leak out
because the clamp was not
placed absolutely perfectly. He
swore again and turned around
and said. That's only happened
once before but fortunately it did
happen once when we were work.

do" And he fixed that.
Well, finally he made the slit in
the pulmonary artery, brought
them together, sewed the edges
with such delicacy that you can't
believe it even while you see it
going on, and then the big moment

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31.-John
Foster Dulles, Republican foreign
policy expert, says that when he
visited South Korea last year Pres
ident Syngman Rhee begged me
for more equipment to use more
Korean troops" on the United Ma
tons front line.
Mr.. Dulles appeared with Averell
Hartman, mutual security direc-
tor during meeting yesterday Of
the World Affairs Council.
The two presented opposite views
on the use Of South Korean troops
in Korea. Mr.. Hartman said that
100000 Koraen soldiers now are
holding about half of the battle
line. Mr.. Dulles countered with
his statement that President Rhee
had asked for more equipment to
employ more Of his countrymen in
fighting the Reds.
Mr.. Dulles asked those attend
ing the meeting to look back over
the Republican record on foreign
policy when the G. o. P. controlled
Congress in 1947 and 1948. In that
time, he said Greek Turkish aid
was voted and the inter-American
aid act passed.

It was the 47th killing attributed
