Replacement Hearts By Grafting Process

MOSCOW fUPD— Replacement hearts for victims of heart disease may result from the experiments being carried on with dogs at the laboratory or gafting specialist Dr. Vladimir Demikhov. Demikhov, who has attracted the attention of the medical world in recent months with his twoheaded dogs, announced Sunday he has successfully added an extra heart to two dogs and hopes to try the operation on humans. On Oct. 16 and 23, the doctor completed grafting operations on two stray dogs named Andrei and Svelana. Both hearts are still beating in both animals. He said he hopes to try the same operation on one of the many persons who have volunteered "before the end of the year or the beginning of next year.” 21 Head Grafts He intends to attach the spare heart to the patient's sysem by his own grafting process. The heart will remain outside the patient's body until Demikhov is sure it is working, then will be inserted inside the body. It will either ease the load on the diseased heart or replace it completely. "Many people die from heart attacks and heart disease," he said. "We may be able to give the heart of a young man to an old man and thus prolong his life Or we could stop people from dying of heart attacks when they are young." The 43-year-old doctor has performed 21 head grafting experiments. in which a spare head is attached to a dog and both heads continue to live and function. His latest was in his laboratory Sunday. A huge black dog had the brown, fuzzy head of a puppy grafted to his neck. The twin-heart dogs showed no effects of the operation other than a bandage where the incision had been made. Plans Leg Graft Dogs will not be used in another unprecedented operation Demikhov plans. He hopes to graft a leg from a dead person on to a young woman who lost a third of one of her legs in an accident. The leg will be taken from a person who has recently died and attached to the woman’s system by one blood vessel. It will remain beside her bed for about three weeks to see if her bloodstream can nourish it, then will be graftd on. Nerves and tissue will be connected as well as the blood vessels. Demikhov said he can not get animals to remain still enough for the operation and must try it on humans without a preliminary trial. But because the woman who lost her leg has tried to commit suicide, he feels he may be saving her life by taking the risk.

Central Soya Sales, Earnings Increased FORT WAYNE. Ind. — Increased sales and earnings were reported today by Central Soya Company, Inc., for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1959. Net sales totaled $285,020,459 compared with $225,967,682 the year before, and earnings after taxes were $6,860,083 as against $6,718,126. These earnings were equal to $5.03 a share on 1,363,590 shares outstanding at year end. up from $4.93 a share in 1958 based on the same number of shares. Earnings before taxes were $14,224,919, as against $13,887,354 a year ago. Income tax provisions totaled $7,364,836 this year against $7,169,228 in 1958. The first year’s operations for the chemurgy division were satisfactory, said Harold W. McMillen, chairman, and Dale W. McMillen, Jr., president, in their report to shareholders. “Management is optimistic about the future contributions this division can make to the company’s over-all operations. “The grain merchandising division continued to show increasing activity and an improvement in profits. The soybean processing margins were quite satisfactory for the first six months of our fiscal year. Due to a slackening of feed demand and an abundance of edible fats and oils the margins for the last six months were not as good." During the year, sales of livestock and poultry feeds by the McMillen Feed Mills division of the company again established new record tonnages, the report said. Capital expenditures for the year totaled approximately $5,500,000. These investments included equipment to produce “Soybean Flakes" at four extraction plants; facilities to make 50% protein meal at the Indianapolis plant of the chemurgy division; acquisition of a 160-acre farm near Decatur, to permit expanded activities in feed research: opening of a new’ grain merchandising office in St. Louis, Mo.; new feed warehouse and bulk loading station at Marion. Ohio, and a truck loading station at Memphis, Tenn. A new feed mill at Des Moines, la., under construction at the beginning of the fiscal year, was completed and opened in November. 1958. Working capital increased by $18,133,475 to a total of $47,135,763. This rise was due principally to the sale of 200,000 shares of additional capital stock and the borrowing of $9,000,000 on a long-term basis. Inventories amounting to $24,415,404 were considerably higher than a year earlier, principally due to the requirements fbr operation of the newly acquired chemurgy division, the report said. Central Soya stockholders at their November 4, will vote on a proposal to split the outstanding stock two sot one and increase the authorized number of shares from 2,000,000 to 5,000.000 shares. Following this meeting, the company plans to apply for listing of the stock on the New York Stock Exchange. Now in its 25th year. Central Soya Company, Inc., ranks 181st in gross sales and 4th in sales per employee among the nation’s 500 largest industrial corporations. The company is one of the largest soybean processors and a leading manufacturer of concentrate feeds for livestock and poultry. It has major plants located at Decatur and Indianapolis, Ind.; Marion, Ohio; Harrisburg, Pa.; Memphis and Chattanooga. Tenn.; Des Moines, lowa and Gibson City and Chicago, 111.

Mrs. Roosevelt Not Favorable To Johnson By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt has been here making political news, as usual, and the Texas friends of Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson should take note. The UPI reporter who attended Mrs. Roosevelt’s news conference came up with this: “She crisply refused to discuss Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson as a possible 1960 Democratic presidential nominee.” Perhaps Mrs. Roosevelt feels about Johnson as does President Eisenhower. A friend asked Eisenhower the other night what he thought of Johnson as a Democratic presidential possibility. Ike hesitated a moment, grinned and replied: “Sam would do” — meaning Speaker Sam Rayburn. So, Eisenhower also crisply refused to discuss Johnson in terms of 1960. Eisenhower’s real favorite among the Democrats, it developed. was Sen. Frank J Lausche of Ohio, a maverick among his Democratic colleagues. Darling of ADA Mrs. R’s true favorite among the Democr a ts-f or-1960 has not yet bfeen revealed for stire. Your corespondent would lay a dollar to a dime, however, that when the time comes, Mrs. Roosevelt will endorse for the nomination Minnesota's Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey. She should be equally enthusiastic, however, about Sen. Stuart Symington of Missouri. No. 3 on her list probably would be Adlai Stevenson, the twice up-and-down Democratic champion of 1952-56. Humphrey looks like Mrs. R’s first choice because h? is a no-questions-asked New Dealer, solid with the left wing of American politics which rides herd on the Democratic Party throughout the North, East and West. There was a trickle of evidence some" time ago that Humphrey was the favorite of Walter P. Reuther’s powerful United Automobile Workers. It is well established that Humphrey is the chief political darling of ADA- ADA is Americans for Democratic Action, a militant political third force self created to inherit and to invoke the political powers and policies of FDR’s New Deal. ADA maintains a box score on Congress. It scores members percentagewise as they vote for or

against propositions regarded by ADA to be good or bad. Humphrey consistently is a 100 per cent performer which is reason enough why Mrs. R. and Reuther, both headliners in the ADA hierarchy, should be sympathetic to the senator’s desire for the White House. Lyndon Johnson is a 50-to-60 percenter. a- ■ ’l Showing the Spark Symington is a 100 per cent senator which validates his claim to support of the left wing. Stevenson cannot be so definitely analyzed, being safely insulated from record congressional votes. Stevenson must be included, however, among the sweethearts of ADA. Mrs. Roosevelt was here making political news about a year ago and answered up to some questions which revealed she thought Stevenson probably would be disqualified in 1960 because he was a two-time loser. But she said, despite that, she thought Stevenson would be the best Democratic nominee. The others, she said, just had not shown what she called “the spark of greatness.” She said Humphrey came nearest of any to showing the spark. That was nearly a year ago, and Humphrey has been revving himself up to spark heat considerably since then. U.S. Population Is Now 178,252,000 WASHINGTON (UPI) — U. S. population, with the addition ofHawaii and Alaska, readied 178,252.000 on Sept. 1, the Census Bureau reported today.
