hended the Korean in a restrict
ed area.
2. Kinder called 10th, who was
sergeant of the guard. 10th took
Bong in a jeep to the building
used by the security detail as its
headquarters. On the way, 10th
stopped the jeep and pistol
whipped Bong.
3. At the headquarters, Schrei-
ber, as security detail duty of
flcer, directed that the Korean
be shot.
4. 10th selected an empty re.
vetment on the base as the spot
for the shooting and Kinder
fired the fatal shot or shots.
5. Later, Schneider "instigated
a cover up" of the incident and
caused a false report" of the
incident to be entered into the
records.
At his trial, Kinder admitted
firing the shots but said he had
been ordered to do so.
Schneider. at his trial, denied
issuing such an order.

which utilizes plastic surgery

surgeons to the annual meeting

They are DR.. Robert E. Moran
of Washington, D. c., and DrS.
Charles G. Neumann, Jerrold

When the heart arteries
harden and narrow, the doctors
said, a slowly diminishing supply
of blood reaches the heart.
Should the arteries close COM
pletely, death results.
The surgeons experimental
on dogs to discover whether
diminishing blood supply to the
heart would be augmented by
a f1ap OF skin carried from the
chest wall to the heart muscle
The results were encouraging,
they said.
Several weeks after the sur
gerry, the doctors tied off the
coronary arteries to learn
whether the skin flap could take
over the arteries function of
supplying blood to the heart.
One dog, still apparently in
good health, was sacrificed IS
days after surgery and an
autopsy performed. The doc
tors said that the continued cir
culation of the dogs heart was
belieyed due almost wholly to
the blood pumped in through
the skin flap.
