Heort-Lung 'PercoIotor'
Described to Surgeons

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. is (R,.
Development of a simple. in
expensive artificial heart-lung
system which works something
like q coffee percolator was re-
ported yesterday by a University
of Maryland surgeon.
DR.. George Schimert of Balti-
more said the whole unit costs
only $500 compared with up to
100000 for other mechanical
devices In this field which en-
ploy much more complex equip
ment."
He told a newsman that In
addition to its low cost and sim
plicity, the new device more
closely duplicates natures own
system Of oxygenating blood
than any other artificial system. ="
Despite the simplicity of the
new system. he said there is no
loss Of efficiency compared with
more complex" units which are
usually beyond the financial
means of the average surgical
experimenter.
Allow System Shutof
All artificial heart-lung sys-
TENS are designed to allow ex-
perimenters to close off tenn
porarily an animals or humans
heart lung system so that surgery
can be done inside the heart
without the interference Of blood
After describing the new unit
TO o sectional convention Of the
International College of Sur
eeons. and saying it had beef
successfully used in heart surgery
on Is dogs, DR.. Schimert said in
an interview:
1--WE are now ready to use II
on humans and expect that we
win employ it in our first human
case in several months" He said
that in the animals, surgeons
could work inside the heart fol-
20 to Is minutes with the aid OF
the device.
The new device consists OF
only three 'parts-a two-way
pump. a large beaker. and a
glass percolator which is placed
inside the beaker.
How Device Works
Some blood from q blood bank
Is first placed In the beaker
and oxygen from a tank is fed
into 1t from below. This causes
the formation Of bubbles Of
blood oxygen foam" which rise
above the blood and fill the
percolator.
Next venous blood-or blood
that needs oxygen-is pumped
from the animals body and
caused to trickle down through
the bubbles.
The venous blood forms a thin
film on the walls of the bubbles
which quickly yield their oxygen

the administration has injected
the spoils system into civil serv-

ance of civil service Jobs with
the Republican National Com
mittee.
They charge that the require
ment that top civil service jobs
be frozen for 80 days so Repub-
lican applicants can get first
crack at them is a violation OF
civil service laws. Furthermore,
they charge it has badly dis
rupted employe morale in Gov
ernment, causing top-dight en-
ployes to quit their jobs for po-
sitions in private industry.
The Administrations security
program is also due for a thor
ough investigation by the DEM
ocrats, who charge that en-
ployes are denied adequate safe
guards to defend themselves
against such accusations. They
also contend the programs S
standards are too vague and that
the appeals procedures are in
adequate. The administration is
also accused of making a polit-
ical football Of the program.
In turn, Republican officials
are accusing Senator Johnston
