Operations on the human heart are now becoming more and more frequent For centuries, the heart was viewed as a delicate organ to which the slightest injury could prove fatal Speed Essential Heart surgery usually must be done very rapidly because the heart cannot be stopped from beating for too long a period.

During anesthesia, the heart can often be stopped from beating for as long as eight minutes when this procedure is used. The cooling is done very rapidly. Post-Operative Procedure The body, after operation, Is then immersed in warm water to raise the temperature again. Recently, this operation was performed on 15 patients with serious heart difficulties. The results were excellent in 13 of these cases. This method has been used mostly on children, but it has been tried on a few adults. Children seem to tolerate it better than adults. QUBSTIOM AMD ANSWn A.

Sheppard Murder Lead Eliminated Suspect Apparently Invented His Story CLEVELAND (INS) — The latest lead in the Fourth of July murder of Mrs. Marilyn Sheppard was virtually eliminated today w’hen it was learned that a 36 - year -old electrician who claimed to “know something” about the slaying apparently made up the story. The electrician. George W. Ennis reportedly told assistant Cuyahoga county prosecutor Thomas Parino that he made a phone call from Baltimore to Cleveland Wednesday to impress a girl friend and said that h£ really knows nothing about the case. * Ennis, a parolee on an embezzlement charge, was picked up by Baltimore police after he made the call to the Cleveland Plain Deal- , «

er. Parrine flew to Baltimore to question him Wednesday night. Baltimore police said it was established that Ennis was in Cleveland at the time of the slaying and that he knew the murder victim’s prominent husband. Dr. Sanniel H. Sheppard. He formerly worked at Bay View hospital, where Dr. Sheppard is on the staff. Earlier, Dr. Sheppard was shown a police photograph of Ennis and he said "the face looks strangely familiar.” He also said the name was "vaguely familiar.” Dr. described his wife's assailant as about 6 ft. 3 in., heavy set and with bushy hair. The doctor was injured the morning of the fatal bludgeoning in their suburban Bay Village home when he said he was slugged by his wife's attacker. Ennis was described by Baltimore police as a "floater.” After his arrest, he told police that he made the* call to Cleveland because he was drunk and "wanted to be a big shot.”

AMA Leader Cites Opposition To Plan Health Reinsurance JPlan Ineffective WASHINGTON (INS) — The head of the American medical association said today his organisation opposed President Elsenhower's health reinsurance plan as "ineffective and unneeded.” Dr. Walter B. Martin, AMA president, was interviewed by telephone from his home in Norfolk, Va„ on the house's’ stunning 238134 vote Tuesday to kill the plan, heart of the President's’ health program. Martin said that he and other physicians in the AMA had wired their congressmen to urge them to vote against the measure, but he said no undue pressure was brought on congress by his organization. . Defeat of the proposal came aS no. surprise to him, Martin added, because “a lot of congressmen were undecided and a lot of others didn't know what was in the bill.” Martin said that the AMA had Informed the department of health, education and welfare of its opposition to the plan on the grounds that it “wouldn’t accomplish very ■ much and would be ineffective.” The AMA president said that private health insurance programs are growing rapidly and still expanding and should be able to meet health insurance needs without government participation. He noted that health insurance coverage has jumped from nine million to 93 million persons in 15 years, and said that a remaining 37 million insurable persons in the nation could be brought into the program is a reasonable period.

. The President’s proposal, Martin continued, “would not have made any more insurance available to persons who can’t afford it now and would not have reduced the coats of insurance.” Mr. Eisenhower’s* plan was killed when the house voted to send it back to, the commerce commit-1 tee. GOP leaders conceded that this kiUed the bill for this year. The proposal called for the government to underwrite private health insurance by absorbing 75 percent of the losses incurred by companies participating in the expanded program. Supporters argued that it would enable private firms to assume
