Lodge said he first heard that
Vishinsky was i'll when the an
n0uncement that the Soviet diplo-
mat was indisposed was made in
the U.N. Political Committee by
"A. A. Sobolev of the Soviet dele
cation.
Lodge said he called an inter-
prefer ever who told him ViShinsky
was i'll and Lodge said he inquired
if there was anything he could do.
He said the interpreter thanked
him but said there was nothing.
Then came the news of the death.
Sobolev stood at his chair after
the meeting was adjourned and
line of delegates formed to ex-
tend their condolences. Some of
the Soviet representatives were
wiping their eyes as they left the
committee chamber and appeared
to be stunned by the news.
Word of the death of Vishinsky--
as famed today for his blistering
oratory as he was in the 1930s as
Stalin's blood purge prosecutor
spread quickly throughout the U.N.
While regular sessions of the
U.N. were adjourned out of re-
spect, the General Assembly ar
ranged to meet this afternoon in
tribute to the Soviet delegate.

Demonstrates
New Device
Inventor OF
Resuscitator
Tells OF Use
BY DENIS sNEicR

DR.. Robert A. Hingson,
of Cleveland, Ohio, today
demonstrated for Navy doc
tors his new combination de-
vice that can be used to adj
minister oxygen or an anes-
thetic.
DR.. Hingson, brother of Cdr.
James M. Hingson, Commander
submarine division 122, stopped
here on his return from a 30-day
lecture tour of Central and South
American countries.
DR.. Hingson is professor of anes-
thesia at Western Reserve Univer-
sity, Cleveland.
Work With Engineers
He said he developed the resus-
citator with team of engineers Of
the 2 and w Company of Cleve-
land.
The company, he said, may open
plant in Florida to manufacture
the device.
1t weighs only two pounds, COM
pared with the great weight of ap-
paratus now used to administer an
anesthetic or oxygen.
He said his resuscitator was de-
veloped as a result of development
work on small oxygen inhalator
to cure hangovers following acute
alcoholism.
Use In Disaster
DR.. Hingson has high hopes for
his devices use in disaster areas.
He said thousands died during
the war in bombed areas - not
from bombs themselves but from
smoke from fires that followed.
His resuscitator is so small and
easy to use that numbers of them
could be distributed to civil de.
fense authorities for use in bomb
ings.
From March through November
of this year, the device was used
,408 times for various operations,
including the delivery of 150 ba-
bies.
