Shead THERE IS a tremendous hue and congress and from other cry sources based on a fallacious premise that our nation, through our delegation to the United Nations, should veto seating of the delegation from Communist China in the security council or even in the general assembly of that body. There is little doubt but that if this were possible that is just what But the United States would do. as a matter of fact, under the rules of the United Nations, the veto of a delegation from a nation already a member of the United Nations Is not permissible. We can use our veto against them, and will, no doubt do so. But the seating of a delegation from a nation already a member Is merely a procedural process and not vetoable under chemical and other contents in food, insecticides and fertilizer.

Amazingly Compact The machine is amazingly compact and substitutes for both the heart and lungs. Through plastic wastetubes, it draws dark-reladen blood from the veins. A steel lung gives the blood oxygen. A special pump, not bigger than the d, . as GADGET m re human heart, pulses refreshed, blood back into an artery. The mechanical heart must be proved safe for humans before any doctor could risk using it on a living patient. Dr. Bailey plans to try it first only as a last desperate measure on someone whose heart stops during surgery, or from other causes. Then if all other means fail, the surgeons will hook the patient to the spare heart, and try to bring him.back.to life.The other,. means are massaging the heart by hand, and use of drugs. Time will be the important factor whenever the machine is used. Within three minutes after death irreparable damage is caused from stoppage of blood circulation. The brain tissues are most quickly damaged. New Type Operations Medical authorities have reported rare cases when persons dead to all intents and purposes have been revived, with no brain damage, after the heart had been halted for as long as eight minutes. Dr. Bailey said one of the most important values of the new machine if successful would be in permitting many new types of heart operations. He reported such a machine could make possible safer, betconditer operations for blue-bab- y tions, better repair of faulty heart valves or other defects inside the heart, operations to keep a person alive while a blood clot was removed. , The machine could also permit the transplanting of new pieces of arteries in place of faulty or old arteries. The human heart would stay alive, still nourished by blood bright-re- d from tiny capillaries, still beating, but with no blood to pump or work to do. It could be invaluable in treating such medical heart conditions as arangina pecoris' and coronary as conditions teries, and such lung asthma and pneumonia.
