Heart Surgeon Sees Operation For Many More Perfected Talcum Powder Operation On Heart Patients NEW YORK UP J Dr. Samuel A- Thompson, the surgeon wh6 perfected the "talcum powder operation” which has given lite to now believes it "can’ be applied now belelves it “can be applied to a much larger group of patients.” v" I .-‘it IHe has performed the operation 62 times and on the basis of hih experience, .he gave his approval to a greater pse of the operation at a Tecent closed meeting of the New York dardiological Society. The proceedings have been made available to the. United Press •few’ the lay press. ' “In the past we have severely limited the indications for opera-, tion and accepted only those who were more or lea's terminal cases/’ Dr. Thompson said, before summarizing the results of his. 62 operations on far-advanced angina patients. In .determining the operation's benefits, Dr. Thompson and his associates at New York Medical College and Flow r er Fifth Avenue Hospital, used four tests he “first, the decrease in the amount of angina pain. Second, ithe increase in the exercise tolerance. Third, ’’the improved ability to attend to their daily needs. Fourth, a return to their former, or gainful occupation.— “Nine of the 62 3 patients died soon after the operation or before leaving the hospital, giving an operative and hospital mortality of

14 percent,” he reported to his colleagues. “One patient has been lost to our follow-up. J“A11 the remaining patients have been followed from the time of the operation up to the present, or up tc| the time of their death. The fipt patient is still alive and in excellent condition more than 13 years after operation. Fiveppa- 1 tients, or 10 percent of those surviving the operation, have received leSs than 33 percent improvement and are classed as poor results. “Ninety percent of the patients were more than 50 percent improved and 40 percent are more than 75 percent improved. I do not know* of any other method of surgical treatment of coronary disease in which the operative mortality is so low and the good results so high. \ \ ' “In conclusion, I would like to emphasive that we .have operated upon a selected group of patients who were medical failures. We do not intimate that this form of treatment is a cure for coronary disease. It is a method of rehabilitation for a group of patients who are not otherwise Improved. “In view of the disability of these patients before operation, the fact that they were poor stirgical risks and already classed as failures from the standpoint of medical treatment, we believe that our results with cardiopexy show that there is a definite value to the. dperation, ami there is h real opportunity for' the surgical rehabilitation of coronary cripples by this method.” The “talcum powder operation” in! layman’s language is the liberal sjiringling of powdered silica or : :;talc” into the heart sac w’here it clings permanently to the walls. A sterile irritant, it stimulates the flow of blood — and angina is caused by insufficient blood flow’. ;Dr. Milton J. Raisbeck, a close associate of Dr. Thompson, warned that the operation is, in no sense, a “cure-all” and lay discussions should not be used to stimulate false hopes. He was concerned tcio, because many people will’get tlie idea they have coronary disease when theY don’t but with some of those people, it is difficult for the physician to prove that they den t.

The trip was made aboard the military transport President Jackson but the passengers paid their fare. ' Earlier this year, Gov. Phelps Phelps of>American Samoa lashed out at Defense Department policy for failing to set up recruiting facilities. He claimed that the “short-sighted” policy was depriving willing Samoans of, an oppor-

l 'V , tunity to join the U. S. armed services,. A considerable group of Samoans are on duty'with the navy and army in Hawaii. Fifty former members of the Fita Fits national guard made the round-trip to Samoa, along with 15 fellow marines, to aid their islanders make the mass migration to Hawaii. Capt. Kenneth S. Hino, head of the U. S. army pacific recruiting force said about 75 immigrant Samoans appeared daily at the Honolulu office to seek enlistment.

The latter also most obtain extended duty approval before being sworn Into the army. India’s Dhault Gorge, winding through the central gains 10,000 feet In elevation in 35 miles.

Too Much Cow FORT WORTH, Tex. (UP)— Try to lasso a loose cow without a horse and you don’t 4 get very far. Or you do, depending on how you look at it. Officer Myron Baker of the city pound roped an 800-pound runaway cow and tried to lead it into a trailer. The cow dragged Baker all over a vacant lot before he gave up and let go of the rope. Dog Shops Himself ' TUPELO, Miss. (UP)— Willoughby Trapp’s dog, ‘‘General MacArthur,’’ loves candy and always buys his own. He gets a nickel in. his mouth, goes into the grocery store and gives up the nickel to the clerk when given a bar of candy. It must. be chocolate' or coconut.
