Electricians Heart Equipped with Battery Power

WENATCHEE, Wash. R - Jim Miller is an electrician by trade and not quite literally his work is in his heart.
 It wasn't Jim, but a team of surgeons at the University of Washington Hospital in Seattle, who equipped Miller's heart with battery power.
 A few months ago life was run ming out for Jim Miller. He had fainting spells, his vision was faulty, his feet were always cold. His wife, Mary, recalls that she carried his meals to him because walking to the table had become a major project.
 Doctors diagnosed Miller's con- dition as heart block. Electrical conduction was insufficient to make the heart beat properly. Instead of the normal 50 to 30 per minute, his pulse rate was down to 24.
 Electrodes Sewn into Heart
 Two tiny electrodes were sewn into Miller's heart muscles in a rare and delicate operation.
 Much as Miller himself had installed doorbells, the surgeons strung wire through his body to a battery a power pack that will operate about five years be- fore a replacement is necessary.
 This, too, is inside the body - a package about the size of a king-sized pack of cigarettes. It rests just under the skin, send ing impulses to Miller's heart at the rate of 60 per minute.
 Before he left the hospital the doctors put Miller on a treadmill as final test. He walked with a steady step and steady heart.
 Walking to the table for dinner once more is merely an incident in the day for Jim Miller. He trots up and down stairs. He is getting his fishing gear ready for the winter steelhead trout season.
 His battery-encouraged heart pumps blood to all parts of the body at a steady 60 beats per minute; he faints no more, his vision is excellent. And his feet are warm.

HOW WOULD SURVIVORS
OBTAIN FOOD?

However, how we could obtain
food, even if everybody was under
ground, is difficult TO understand.
DR.. Ralph Lapp, the distinguished
American physicist, has said that if
just New York City was bombed,
the radioactive contamination of the
rich agricultural land from Buffalo
to Albany would Constitute very
serious long term hurdle for post
attack agriculture.
In view of all that has been learned
about the possible effects of nuclear
war, it seems to this writer that any
rational person would have to agree
with Mr.. Val Petersen, the former
Federal Civil Defense Administrator
who testified before Congress in
1856, as follows: eff this kind of
war occurs, in my judgment, and l
have spent only three years thinking
about it, if this kind of a war occurs
life is going to be stark, elemental,
brutal, filthy, and miserable.
81 would say that it would be
very questionable with the best
whether in any sense
that would be understood by the
minds in this room right now, that
we will ever be prepared. We are
just not going to be prepared for
that kind of a hell"

THE "CRUELEST DECEPTION"
Robert Meyner, Governor of New

"Under certain circumstances, some
lives might be saved by such shell
tiers; if the attack were weak one
if there were adequate warning; if
necessary services and facilities re-
manned in operation after the at

buried and sealed beneath noun
tains of rubble. But experts such
as John M. Fowler and Ralph E.
Lapp, both prominent physicists, feel
these circumstances are unlikely to
occur. The probability is that dam
age would be swift, extensive, sus-
tanned.
''It is the cruelest deception to
create the impression that shelters
are an adequate defense.
'"The most convincing argument
against the shelter psychosis' arises,

our own military plans have wiped
out the possibility of war itself and
replaced it by total humiliation as
the only foreseeable terminus of the

How Effective Is Our Civil Defense Organization?

major cities are still markd as re-
served for military and civil defense
uses in emergency times. That
(again) is an example of nonthink.
For. if the siren blew, who really
imagines that a frantic populace
would abide by mere signs-and
leave open the best escape routes
from any city. What route, for ex-
ample, would be taken by the myriads
who have homes along these roads
and streets?" Mr.. Wylie also adj
dressed himself to the fallout shelter
program of the OCDM. He wrote:
''First, all civil defense programs
are based on the assumption that
there would be one H-bomb assault
only. Thereafter, people why by luck
or owing to prepared shelters sur
vived the devastation would be able,
in about 2 weeks, to emerge from
their shelters and begin the business
of decentralization, of finding I'M
contaminated water and food, of
human rescue, and the like.
ONE BOMB THEORY
DOESN'T HOLD WATER
"The fallacy in that-major-sup-
position is plain. For even if all the
citizens had suitable and suitably
stocked bomb shelters, what earthly
reason is. there to imagine that a
determined enemy with huge stock
pile of nuclear weapons would limit
his attacks to one? Indeed, as bases
harden and increasing number of
with H-warheads are set
in preaimed rock tubes,
the crtainty increases that any COM
blatant nation in such a murderous
war would be prepared to launch a
series of attacks, at intervals of days,
weeks. and months-so that a ra-
tional program. owing to that one
datum, should require shelters
equipped to feed, provide water for,
and pump filtered air to their in
1abitants for months"

ONLY ONE WAY TO.
GUARANTEE SURVIVAL

If civil defense is unavoidable in
the Hydrogen age, what can people
do to insure a secure, peaceful world
for their children? 1t would seem that
there is only one way to guarantee
the survival of life as we know it.
A Quaker organization, the Friends
Committee on National Legislation,
has summed up this situation; as
many informed persons now see it.
They state: "The only realistic de-
tense efforts are those which pre-
vent nuclear attack by abolishing
war itself. Responsible government
officials have stated that several
hundred million persons would die
in a full scale atomic attack. More
over, the huge shelter program now
envisaged for United States citizens
and industries is in our view assem-
TALLY selfish. Many millions of peo-
pie in other lands will also be ex-
posed to deadly fallout, yet they
cannot afford to seek even the partial
safety such a massive shelter pro-
gram contemplates because of their
limited resources.
eve believe the Civil Defense pro-
gram impedes constructive efforts
to build the conditions of peace. The
Civil Defense tests especially tend
to create an atmosphere of tension
and preoccupation with war, which
makes possible ever increasing mill
tary demands and controls. By en-
couraging the acceptance of the in
evitability of war and a false sense
of security, this program tends to
weaken our nations determination
to explore peaceful solutions to the
utmost. Equally important, Civil De-
Tense siphons off the efforts of many
concerned and dedicated persons and
and potentially billions of
dollars of resources, which could bet

5ributions to peace, such as working

DANGEROUS" AND
SUICIDAL"

Since most of the major problems
we have been considering in these
articles derive from our relationships
with the Soviet Union, it seems ap-
propriate to conclude this series by
briefly indicating the present atti-
tude of the Soviet leadership on the
subject of radioactive fallout and
nuclear war. The American maya
zine "a T l. A S" editor, Quincy
Howe) printed in it's March, 1861,

N. Talensky, Krushchev's chief
spokesman on military policy. In
this article Gen Talensky rejects
war as an instrument of Soviet ma
tional policy, writing, &c. Conse-
quently death from radioactive fall
out threatens not only people in
warning countries, but also the en-
tire population of our planet
The development of the technique
of discriminating people has resulted

disputes as was done throughout the
history of mankind. A rocket and

for the side subject to attack. but
