carried out by the "cross-circu-

prove themselves soon afterward.
In the operations with them at
Minnesota and Mayo. there have

Guilty with the machines.
Open New Vista
The heart-lung machines have
opened an entirely new vista in
heart surgery. To begin with,
they allow the surgeon to op-
crate under direct vision on a
dry. bloodless heart. instead of
blind" as in many present
heart operations; like anyone
else, the surgeon can do a better
job when he can see what he
is doing. Second. he can take
his time; the Minnesota and
Mayo surgeons have both several
times worked inside the heart
for nearly an hour. Finally, if
a completely quiet heart is neg
eSsary for certain operations, the
heart can be stopped with
drugs, by a technique originated
in England and developed
farthest in the United States by
DR.. Donald Efler and his asso-
ciates at the Cleveland Clinic.
Many previously impossible
operations are already being
carried out with the aid of
heart-lung machines. Minne-
sofa and Mayo surgeons, for ex-
ample. are regularly mending
otherwise lethal defects inside
the ventricles, the main pump
ing chambers Of the heart, which
no surgeon dared enter before.
They are also successfully cor
recting the tetralogy of fallot

merely mitigating their effects.
as in older operations.
Heart-lung machines make
possible any type. Of useful heart
operation whatever. They will
improve and extend surgery to
correct Unborn heart defects and
for the relief of rheumatic heart
disease. They may even make
possible wide surgical treatment

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
1t is possible that these chill
dren's mother was right in the
individual cases in which she
withheld one or more of the
children, but the father clearly
indicates that he has not ac-
'cepted these occasions as mere
incidents, but feels that his ties
with his children are weak, and
appears ready to relinquish them
entirely.
Mr.. H. T.'s desire to avoid
tearing the children apart emo
tionaly is understandable, but it
is possible that he is going too
far in his self-Sacriflce-too far
for both his own and the chill
dren's happiness.
Right now these children find
1t hard to accept the fact that
they have two fathers. Their
loyalty Is divided. This divided
situation, however. is a fact Of
their lives. II their. real father
appears to reject them, it may
simplify things for the moment.
but such a rejection could be-
come a breeding ground for un-
happiness in the future.
In any case. it is very un-
likely that the children will "un-
derstand" when they get older
If stronger ties are not estab-
lished now. Mr.. H. T. is losing
his children and should be aware
of it.
1t is possible that this father
feels awkward about displaying
affection to his children, but it
is more important to do this
than to plan good times" It
will do these children no harm
to know that their real father
mas a deep, abiding love for
them.
Mr.. H. T. has to make a vital
decision and frankly assume re-
sponsibility for it. He has to
decide whether to reject his
children or whether to play his
role as a father by insisting on
his legal and moral rights. He
begs the question and fools him
self when he reasons it is best
for the children that he let the
situation drift.

North Council Hits
Zoninq Proposals

The North Washington Coun-
Gil of Citizens Associations last
night went on record opposing
the proposed District coming and
building codes. The group called
for a reappraisal of the pending
regulations.
In other business, the council
passed a resolution asking Con-
gresS to provide in the new Dis
trict budget, funds for the build
ing of new swimming pool in
the northern section of Washing
ton and to also lower the exist
ing rates at pools already in
operation.

state highway system. The Fed
eral Government would provide
80 per cent-about $25 billion
Of that money.
Allotment Formula Is Issue
Most Of the House conferees
have indicated they will fight for
a formula which would base the
allotments on the amount which
a State could claim it needs in
order to complete its respective
portion of the national super
highway system. The Senate for
mula. essentially a continuation
of the present method in the
Federal Act of 1854. would base
the appointments on State
population, area and rural road
mileage.
Even if the confereeS speedily
compose that conflict, they are
certain to run into further con-
troversy over other varying
House and Senate views. Those
include differences over payment
of prevailing wage scales for
road construction workers and
the reimbursement of States for
work they already have done on
highways that would become a
part of the interstate network.

BILL TO PROHIBIT
DRINKS ON PLANES
GAINS IN HOUSE
BY the Associated Prsss

The House Commerce
Committee has approved a
bill to prohibit the serving
of intoxicants on airplanes
flying between points in the
United States.
The legislation, supported
by airplane pilots and crew
members, does not affect in
tercontinental flights but
applies only to several do
nestle airlines.
Committee members said
that Civil Aeronautics Board
regulations already prohibit
the private use of liquor on
airplanes and permit pilots to
conf1scate any bottles dis
played by passengers.

April " ana the version VObe0
by the Senate May 20 were dis.
PEELED earlier this week at the
first exploratory get-together OF
a group of conferees.
The agreements repeatedly
went along House lines. They
dealt mainly with provisions for
regular primary and secondary
road building aid.
There was no indication that
House members would agree as
readily today as the Senators did
earlier this week. The conferees
set what could be an all-day
meeting on the really controver-
sial questions centering on the
proposed 40,000-mile interstate
system of superhighways.
Desire Approval by July
Legislators who have worked
and worried more than two years
on, the large road desirable-al-
say it is highly desirable-al-
though not absolutely essential
that a bill be agreed on by Con-
gress and signed by the President
before the new fiscal year opens
July /. This is especially desir-
able, they say, so that the reve-
INCREASING provisions could
begin on schedule to obtain and
dedicate" (another word setting
aside) annual tax money for the
long-range program.
In that connection a separate
group of House-Senate conferees
has been named to work out a
compromise on the taxing and
spending sections. Those con-
ferees have not yet met. Their
problems are much fewer and
simpler than the disputes which
confront the construction Sec
ton conferees today.
Bills Differ on Time Spread
Besides slight differences be-
tween House and Senate propo-
sails for the higher or new tax
rates on gasoline, tires, trucks
and buses, the House measure
would spread over Is years. The
Senate bill would be limited to
five years. 1t would provide about
$37 billion in Federal State out
lays as against $51.5 billion au-
thorized by the House. Both bills
call for pay-as-you-go financing.
The Eisenhower administration
early this year abandoned its re-
quest, which the House defeated
last year, for bond issue f1nanc-
ing plan.
The main question that
threatened to delay the confer
ees today involves the method of
distributing Federal money
among the States for the inter-
