which extends through the en-
tire cornea, must have fresh
tisSue-that is, cornea taken
from a body no longer than
70 hours before use. The other
type is partially penetrating
and cornea preserved for up to
some five years may be used.
Miss Lamb, who was sent to
Hong Kong in advance. was
there about 18 days. 1t was her
job to set up the schedule, ar
range for operating rooms and
train nurses to help during
surgery. Shortly after she ar
rived she had a refrigerator
placed in her hotel room to
store the cornea tissue shipped
by plane.
The entire expedition, fl
nanced by the Pharmaceutical
Manufacturers Association, wit
messed a private airline airlift
that surprised even the eye
surgeons. Local eye banks
throughout the country were
briefed. Airlines, police forces
and others were told to stand
by.
At the right times, when
eyes were available and not
needed by American patients,
they were iced and rushed to
airportS. Pilots themselves took
personal charge of the con-
tainerS and they were rushed to
Hong Kong.
The plane DR.. King arrived
on even had containers of eyes
for blind and nearly blind
Chinese. He didn't know it until
reporters questioned him about
it on arrival.
Working as guests Of the
Hong Kong Ophthalmological
Society. the team received a
total of Sc fresh eyes for trans
plantation from nine United
States eye banks including the
Washington Lions Eye Bank
located with the International
bank at the Hospital Center
here.
The physicians explained
that while Hong Kong has
many fine surgeons, religious
scruples Of the people prohibit
the removal of eye tissue from
the dead. Even the few dozen
transplants done by the visit
ing team amounted to a great
victory there.
The patients, when they re-
turned to their homes with
sight, provided much needed
propaganda.

Teacher Loses
Damage Suit
In apitoI Fall.

A District Court judge ruled
today that the Government
need not pay damages to a
Schoolteacher who slipped and
fell on a 100-year -old tile floor
in the Capitol.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff
then dismissed the $180,O00
damage suit that had been
brought against the Govern
ment by Mrs. John F.. McNa-
mara, 40. of Mount Tabor, N. j.
The judge said that micro

Experts Ignored

During the trial, which started
last week, Judge Holtzoff went
to the Capitol Building himself
and walked back and forth
across the floor.
He noted today that he "dio

that might be because wear

Judge Holtzoff recalled that
experts had disagreed during
the trial as to whether the floor
was dangerous and as to the
depth of the depressions in the
tiles.
In such circumstances, the
judge said, experts are of very
little help and it just means
people have to use their COM

The MEDICO team. just re-
Gently back from Hong Kong,
found a land where tradition
and custom won't allow eye
tissue to be taken from the dead
to give sight to the living.
And so. through the Inter-
national Eye Bank located on
the grounds of the Washington
Hospital Center, they literally
lifted new vision to dozens
Aof OrientalS in a project that
is likely to expand to a world
wide program.
Three of the principals got
together yesterday to recount
this journey of mercy, which
should do much to enhance
United States relations with
the Far East and other parts
of the world.
They were DR.. John H. King,
associate professor of opthal-

nurse, Miss Elizabeth Lamb,

at the International Eye Bank.

wise, guileful roguish under

centuries, has been proving that
the master-servant relationship

arrangements. It is the servant,
Moliere wanted it known, who
is the clever one in this con-
flict, the one who has learned
to live by his wits while his
victims live on their money.
A comic writer who scorned
to cramp his style by plot, Mo-
liere uses q minimum Of the
latter here. This. little deals
with a pair Of youthful play
boys who have seized the oc-
casion of paternal absence to
become entangled with q pair
Of attractively tangles ON e

Neither of the young men is
capable of dealing with the
fatherly wrath their amorous
adventure stirs up. Moliere is,
however. He provides them
with on ally. Scapin, a servant
who. as played by Robert
Hirsch might be a lineal de-
scendant Of Moliere, himself.

The selection could not have
been more artful, not merely to
display the Comedies perfee-
tion Of style but also Moliere's
genius in pinpointing the hilar-
ious a absurdity Of human
behaviour.
M oliere, who figuratively
might have been dying of
laughter-although literally Of
consumption-when writing the
latter play, never seemed more
understandable than in the
Comedies productions. This
despite the fact that the per-
formance was in the plays ma
tive language, French, and
without English subtitles. The
French spoken, indeed, seemed
! as racing as it is racy, but it
says clearly that Moliere'S own
spirit lives in the theater which
he left to poSterity.

The Comedie company's per-

Of riotous mirth and also one
tt11ged with wonder that the
whole idea of the drama was
