"blue baby operation developed
by DR.. Alfred Blalock and DR..
Helen Taussig of Johns Hopkins
Hospital. His procedure involves
an approach through the heart,
rather than outside, to supply
more oxygen for body tissues.
DR.. Gerald H. Pratt of New
York told the convention how
blood circulation can be restored
by grating a vein to by pass a
blood clot on a major artery. He
said the method supplements, but
does not disturb. collateral cir

DR.. Alan c. Burton, professor
at the University of Western
Ontario, said experiments being
conducted on human fingers may
lead to new treatments for cir
culatory diseased affecting the
extremitieS. He said the expert
ments suggest that tiny blood
vessels in the skin play a DOM

culation for the entire body

such as standing up or shifting

eraticns have been performed
on d patients. He reported "a
severely i'll patients survived and
have shown significant improve
ment. In some cases of patients
who died, death was unrelated
to the operation, he said.
DR.. Charles P. Bailey described
another surgical technique he
and his associates have used to
combat 'mitral insufficiency." In
this condition, the valve fails to
close properly and causes blood
reorganization, or a backward
flow. DR.. Bailey's surgery to re-
duce heart strain entails grating
new tissue on the valve itself.

Heart Surgeons Report Success
In Rheumatic Fever Operations

/. Surgery that offers new hope
for victims of rheumatic fever
was described here today,
]: An operation to widen the
SCARED or frightened heart valves
.of these patients was the SUBJ
:ject of q paper prepared for the
Second World Congress of Car
biology and the 9th scientific
sessions of the American Heart
Association. .
The surgery has been sue
:cessful even among patients near
death. Drs. Laurence B. Ellis
and Dwight E. Harken of Bos-
ton. said at the convention in
National Guard Armory.
Their evaluation is based upon
500 operations performed for
what the doctors call :nitral ste
nosis. In this ailment, valve
between the two chambers of the
heart, shrinks. This obstructs the
normal flow Of blood. AS a re-
suit, the heart must work harder

Eases Flow.
The strain can become so
great that the heart finally fails.
the operation described by the
Boston specialists restores the
valve opening to its approximate
original size and thus eases the
flow of blood.
So far, all rheumatic victims
considered to be moderately i'll"
have recovered. Ninety per cent
recovery was reported among se-
verely i'll patients, whose condi-
tons were deteriorating progress
sively. Improvement was noted
in "a per cent of those listed as
critically i'll and given no more
than a year of life under ordi-
nary treatment.
Supporting conclusions were
submitted by DR.. j. K. Maddox
and a group of his associates
from Sydney, Australia. They
announced encouraging result.

places a continuing strain upon
the body's metabolism. They
said eating such a diet over a
period of many years apparently
triggers" the processes leading
to fatty degeneration of the
arteries.
The doctors emphasized that
their conclusions apply to the
population group as a whole,
rather than to individuals.
The degeneration described,
known as arterosclerosis. is the
chief cause of heart attacks and
strokes. The doctors said it is
not a process Of aging and is not
inevitable.

WASHINGTON LETTER
A Sad Anniversary

WASHINGTON - This month
marks the tenth anniversary of
one of the saddest developments
of World War II, the failure of
the Soviet Red army to help the
patriotic Poles in Warsaw who
had risen in revolt against the
naZi war machine.
This anniversary is being re-
called with memorial service in
several different countries. Here
in Washington, Congressional
committee has made public testi-
mony il took from the heroic
Polish commander and others
relating to this incident 1t sheds
new light on one phase of the
matter that had let the Western
Allies in for some criticism. 1t
seems now that the Russians,
who were then our allies, block
ed the efforts of the United
States and England to come to
the aid of the Poles.
The uprising in Warsaw start
ed on August /, 1914. The Polish
Home Army, thousands strong,
appeared apparently out of the
ground. Ii was a force that wore
a variety OF uniforms, out of ne
cessity, and that it was able to
stand off the vastly superior nazi

and its friends have been able
10 persuade our government up
on a course of action, which the
Reds intend to use to destroy
us.
Peaceful co-Existenee"
That course of action is rep
resented by Stains slogan
peaceful co-existence," which
has now been repeated, as /
have said before, by the titular
heads of both the Republican
and Democratic parties. Foster
has entitled his own article most
appropriately "The Question of
Peaceful Co-ExiStence of the
USA and the USSR."
Encouraged by the surrender
of our political leaders to a pol
icy expressed by Stalin's slogan,
Foster boldly declares that true
"p eaee full eo-existence" can
come about only through the to-
tai disarmament of the United
States, the destruction OF all its
atomic weapons, the sanctioning
of Soviet aggression under the
fictitious claim that this repre-
sents independence of coun-
tries" the full recognition of Red
China, and the complete liquida-
tion of NAT0 and the European
Defense Community. In other
words, the Krenlin means to use
the blindness of the American
nation - 1uhich leads us contin-
ttdtly 10 negotiate tCfth Soviet
Russia - to a place lohere we

Druyging The US.
But Foster goes farther than
that. He shows clearly to Mos
cows followers that this drug
eing of the United States into
the belief that il can negotiate
with Soviet Russia will lead to
the destruction of American inn
perialism, that is. our Republic.
To sum it up, the Communist
leader points out that pressing

Wisconsin, which is investigat-

that time the Red army was in
the suburbs Of Warsaw, separat-
ed only by the Vistula River
from the city itself. Poles were
sure that when the revolt start
ed the Red army would come to
their help since it was in a full

When the uprising started the

God denies to no one the general

wills ali men to be saved and

it would seem fitting that good

British authorities determined to
help the Polish patriots by drop
ping arms and supplies by air,
the government of the USSR re-
fused landing facilities in COM
muniSt-held territory. We and
the British nevertheless made
several drops of supplies on
Warsaw. Following this, the
Western Allies were warned
that If any further efforts were
made to help the Warsaw patri-
OTIS, pilots landing on communist
held territory would be interned
until after the war.
CAS- a result of such tactics,
the center and heart of the Pol
ish organized resistance, loyal to
the Polish government in exile,
and completely anti-communist,
was wiped out by the nazis while
the Red army idly looked on"
The Kersten committee re-
ports that it heard testimony

And IT is conclusion which
gives us a warning that if the
United States continues to per
SiSt in following the will-o'-the-
wisp of negotiating itself into
peace with Soviet Russia, it will
bring about its own final de-
Struction
There is only one way to end
war from the Communist view
pont, he writes on the same pag-
es where he talks so glibly of
peace" Here are his words:
Stain, among his last state
ments, re-emphasized Lenin's po-
sition that so long as imperial
ism lasts, there will be danger
of war warning which is
doubly pertinent with regard TO
American Imperialism" To put it
more directly, the sole way that
true peace" can be won, accord
ing to the Kremlin, is by the
Soviet conquest of the United
States of America. And Foster
indicates that this is coming
quicker than many people imag-
inc.
Poison
The poison in peaceful CO.
existence" is that it perSuades
number of the American people
to the belief that some kind of
stable relations can be reached
with the Soviet dictatorship 0y
continually talking with Soviet
leaders. Every experience of
ours shows this TO be false, and
yet our leaders continue to fol-
low the path which is leading
from defeat to defeat.
In his frank and courageous
manner, General Mark w. Clark
cut through the whole stupidity
of this attitude. when he APP
peared before the Senate Sub
Committee on Internal Security
on August 10. The only road to
American security, General Clark
showed, is by breaking off rela-
tions with Soviet Russia and its
satellite regimes. To save the
United States, readers of this
column have an obligation to

study it, and use il widely. Even
before that, they can express
