Surgery on the Heart By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. UNTIL a few year* ago. no «ur geon would have considered an operation to correct heart defect* possible Surgery of this vital organ wag limited to desperate cases, to the sewing up of stab wounds, for instance, where unless operation can succeed, death is sure. If you will stop for a moment to picture what operation on the ever-throbbing heart means, you will readily understand why. Cutting, sewing, and repairing heart tissue Is a delicate and difficult job which requires the efforts of a well-trained surgeon for success. Despite Obstacle* Yet. despite all this, today's surgeons have devised ways of correcting certain types of heart defects which are called congenital because they are present at the time of birth. One of these is called patent ductus arterlousns. The ductus artertottsu* la a channel that, in the Unborn child, allow* the blood to go from the pulmonary artery, Xhich enters the heart on the right aide, to the aorta. the vfwSe* on the left side of the heart through which the blood begin* its journey through the body. This opening or duct Is supposed to dose at birth When it remains open, the condition I* called patent ductus arteriousus and though the heart beat may appear normal When an electrocardiogram. or dectric tracing of the heart beat, to made, the child does net grow and develop normally because the heart has (WfictUty tn keeptng <O the circulation of Bluenea* of Bkln sf SSSttt ductM »-I

today. Superintendent L. L. Hann wa« lu charge and Dr. Emens of Ball State college gave an address at both morning and afternoon sessions. Plans fur the cutnlng* school year were discussed and the meeting was one of the most successful in a number of years. —o The Mexican who struck Officer Melchl without cause will huve thirty days at the statu penal farm, during which time he may be able to decide whether ltd wise to strike an officer without cause or not. Judge Erudite gave him ,i three months sentence and a fifty dollar flue when he plead guilty. 0 0 Boss Ircy of the treasury tax department sent a couple of bis num Into the big gambling bouses al Miami Beach at the helghtb of the season last winter und checked those who made bets of 165. 000 and up. As a result mure than 32U0.000.00u of delinquent taxes have been collectod by the revenue department and the dough Is still rolling in. Secretary Wallace gets it both ways. When he said that the United States could provide 60,000,000 jobs, he was called wildly Impractical. Now that his figures has been substantially attained, he Is rebuked because it was reached without resorting to the government promotion measures which he urged. Having been lung in public life, Mr. Wallace must lake these contradictory criticisms with calmness. 0 o The wealthy men us Cuba are finding their wealth coveted and their lives in danger. One after another, manufacturers, exporters and high government officials have received warning to hand over 325,000 in protection money. One official. who showed bis letter to police, was shot at un the street. Most of the moneyed men threatened recently have hopped on plane* for sudden vacations in the United States, according to Correspondent H. Stuart Morrlsun. o o It used tu be that on rainy days a woman splashed around in her oldest tugs, with little concern fur the dismal effect us her ensemble. Not so auy longer. Fashlon is now going in for glamorous "rain costumes." instead of the old drab greys and taupes for raincoats that made unpleasant days more somber, have come gay red. blue, green and coral cover-alls. Bewitching feminine "pixie" hoods replace the old rain bats. Umbrellas, turned out in brilliant matching colors, hoisted overhead, give a suggestion of sunshine. The tesults are gratifying.

terk>UKiis require* careful study on the part of the doctor. Blueqes* of the skin, or cyanosis, which Is a feature of so many heart defects, is not present, but examination with a stethoscope will reveal to the trained ear of the physician a characteristic murmur which Is most marked over the right, up per part of the heart and X-ray picture* will show an enlargement of the left, lower part of the heart. A very successful operation ba* been devised to correct this condition, which would otherwise be a life-long handicap. Another congenital defect, one called pulmonary stenosis, can tocorrected surgically. This condition I* commonly the one responsible for our so-called “blue" babies. Here, there is narrowing or blocking of the pulmonary artery whf'h leads from the heart to the lungs. The helpful operation consist* In joining a branch of the aorta to one of the pulmonary arteries. This in turn lucre**** the flow of blood through tto- lung*. Lining Membrane There is a lining membrane around the heart called the pericardium. This membrane may become inflamed as a result of rheumatic or other Infection. The condition is called pericarditis. Sometimes. thia leads to contraction or pressure on the heart and interfere* greatly with the circulation An opera! ion may be performed to correct this condition by cutting *n opening in th* pericardium which permit* the heart to bulge through, and thus relieve# the r a nn th a h*X*™— — - ~

GAR Encampment Will Be Continued Annual Encampment Will Close Today Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 28 — (UP! — Survivors ot the Grand Army of the Republic were determined today that they would be demobilised only by death. The 12 old soldiers of the Civil War who Sunday for their 80th encampment agreed that they would go home happy today only because they're going to return for another, bull sesalun next year - anti every year until the "(toys In blue" are all gone. Cofnmander-in-chief Hiram 8. Gale. 98, Seattle, Wash., took an informal poll among bis 11 buddles last night and they unanimously declared that the GAR still is going strottg, with a national membership totalling 86. The decision whether tu meet again next year came up for b formal vote at the final business session today, but' was regarded as a mere formality. Gale was not a candidate for reelection. He wanted some one who never had been in office to have a chance. The unopposed slate for new officers included John H. Grate. ' 101, Atwater. 0.. commander; Theodore A. Penland. 98, Portland, Ore., senior vice-commander and Albert Woolson, 99. Duluth, Minn., junior vice commander. Highlight of todays activities was a parade. The old vets rode in seats of honor in seven automobiles, while soldiers of other wars marcbed beside them. It rounded out four days of activity which nearly have tuckered out the GARs. Last night, the 13 veterans sat quietly at a reception given in their honor by Gov. and Mrs. Ralph F. Gates. They let the 2,000 women auxiliaries present steal the show. Some ot the festive ladies picked up long skirts and danced in the statehouse halls to the marine , corp band music, while the boys tn blue nodded appreciatively at the sight of a sprightly ankle or two. Robert Rownd, 102, GAR chap-lain-chief. Ripley, N. Y„ said that was more like it. "The only thing wrong with our meeting was too many dadblamed meeting," he said. "I like to see the ladies cutting up a bit. "But sometimes I think thia Is too much for imly 12 boys to handle.” — 0 BIG FOUR MEET (Continued From Page One) jected. He nevertheless delivered his 40-minute speech as though It still were pending. Defending Australia against the Soviet charges of trying to undermine the conference, Willard Thorpe of the U. 8. delegation by inference advised Russia to cease suspecting other nations' He said the Russian charges against Australia “have ho place here" and added: "We will make better progress here if we do not question each other’s alms ” While commissions were plow-

weekly. This is 75.000 over tbs beat the railroads can now do. Durlug the first two weeks of August, car loadings averaged 32.000 cars a week more than In the same 1945 period. In the live weeks ending Aug 10. the weekly average was 905.M0 a week. 131,000 more than the same period last year. To meet the dilemma. Steelman asked the maritime commission and the war shipping administration to put more ships Into domestic trade to al>sorb the alltime traffic load. If necessary. ODT will use em bargoes and licenses to speed diversion of cargo from land to waler borne carriers. The national federation of American shipping, representing about 95 percent of ship owners, said only 75 vessels were now engaged In iniercoastal trade as compared to 450 before the war. At tb<- same time. It said. 1.500 available ships are lying idle.
