been tried on three persons whose
otherwise healthy hearts had
stopped beating during surgery.
These three died. he said. but the
patients hearts had been At
standstill for between 40 and 100
minutes before the apparatus was
used.
In an interview, ZoIl said:

ments in the technique which We
are now exploring, it may evens
italy be possible TO eliminate sud-
den death resulting from aecidelr
tel heart stoppages due TO aeek
dents during surgery or the appl
cation of anesthesia.
1.-THE best chance Of realizing
this would be to have such an aps

urally wondered how long it
would take me to get my figure
back. But because my muscles
we're in such good condition the
doctor let me get into the pool
after three weeks. II you can't
swim there are exercises your
doctor can give you. I did the

My doctor explained that when
you are having a baby there is

Nature allows your body to re-

HOLLYWOOD.-ESther Will
liams has made Is musicals for
MGM, everyone Of which has
been a box-offlce success. Dur
ing the years Esther has re-
manned near the top on the poll
of the 10 most popular Holly
wood stars. That's an enviable
record.
When I visited Esther in her
lovely old house surrounded by
trees, she was wearing shorts
and her figure looked dreamy,
though she is expecting another
baby in the fall.
AS we sat in the garden where
the maid served us tall glasses
of iced tea and finger sand
wicheS, I somehow knew this
was a well-run house.
What is your secret for COM
bining marriage and a career?"
] asked.
Both are full-time jobs and
should not be separated but
worked on at the same time.
You need consideration, an even
temper and a sense of values"
Esther said. "And I'm very for
tunate in having an understand
ing husband" she added.
I wanted to know what kept
Esther successful.
II was a swimming champion
and that took concentration, dill
igence and hard work. The first
picture I made clicked and I
remember a producer at MGM
telling me, You think you've
worked hard, but wait until
you're the big star you're going
to be and you'll find it's much
easier to get to the top than to
stay there
I've often thought Of this
when I've struggled to hold on
to what people liked and still
find something new" Esther
continued. You can't analyze
too carefully or you become self
conscious.
"At first making pictures is a
big thrill, but then the glamour
wears off and it is a job to be
done without temperament. It
needs cooperation and camara-
derie. It takes training to keep
your feet on the ground and not
: to forget basic values.
But I don't care how much
you're making; if you don't
enjoy your work and yourself,
you are not a success" she
added.

Esther's figure is one Of the

If she exercised regularly. In ad-

They slim the thighs and whittle

Dean Breaks Off
 Korea Peace Talks As Reds Harangue

PANMUNJOM, RAU.S. Envoy Arthur Dean abruptly broke off negotiations to set up Korean Peace conference today and ang- rily walked out in the midst of a marathon Communist harangue.
 Dean said the final straw was a charge that the United States con- nived with South Korea in the release of 27,OOO anti-Red Korean war prisoners from Allied stock ades last June.
 Dean said he treated the Com munist charge "as a reason to break off the talks. wv.
 q said they had accused my government of perfidy and that unless it was withdrawn I would interpret it as a motion on their side to indefinitely recess" the US. envoy told newsmen.
 He emphasized that only a dir ect request from the Communists, coupled with a full retraction of the charge, could get the seven week-old preliminary peace nego- tiations underway again.
 Asked if he was going to Wash ington, Dean replied:
 don't know"
 It was reported Friday that the spokesman for IT nations which fought in Korea probably would return to the United States before Christmas, leaving the stalemated negotiations in charge of his chief assistant.
 Deans walkout ended a r5-hour, 45-minute session, the longest since the talks began Oct. 26.
 The Reds became "ruder and ruder, more and more insulting and more arrogant" as the long session wore on, Dean said.

Elimination of NOrthwest's Operation Alaska-Seattle Not Recommended

WASHINGTON, lR-An Alaska Airlines consultant said Friday he would not recommend elimination of Northwest Airline's authority to provide service between Seattle and Anchorage, Alaska.
 Colin Mcintosh, Washington consultant engaged by the Alaska carrier, told Arnold B. Berkeley, Civil Aeronautics Board counsel, he believed such action would offer "too severe" a handicap to Northwest.
 Berkely raised the subject after Mcintosh said he felt Northwest has not adequately developed it's inside route" to the Orient via Minneapolis, Edmonton, Alta, and Anchorage.
 Northwest offers one trip week ly over the Edmonton route, rout- ing other passengers over it's dom- estic system to Seattle and then to the Orient. Mcintosh said his studies indicate 40 percent of Northwest's passengers to the Orient originate in the midwest and eastern United States.

Soviet Jewish Doctors accusing
them of poisoning high Soviet Of
ficials was carried out in accord
ance with the need of the time, as
are all Soviet policies. Now when
Malenkov needs new line to con-
solidate his power, the Jewish
Doctors are freed, and it is offic-
tally declared that their mistreat-
ment was done by anti-Soviet ele-
ments. The need has come for NAL
enkov to re-establish friendly re-
lations with Israel in the hope of
getting a foot-hold in the near
East, so that probably this will be
done in the near future. Although
Israel is small and cannot afford
to have severed relations with SO
great power as the Soviet Union,
they should always remember that
a new line of Soviet rulers are
bound to change this relationship
over night, and they should always
be on guard not to put too much
emphasis on this relationship or in
the Soviet promises. Also Amer
lean and World Jewry must al
ways watch and be ready for any
new Russian line or program to-
wards the Jews that might deve-
lop. We must realize that Israel's
and the Jews future lies with the
