By EDWIN A. LAHEY Times Foreign Correspondent LONDON, Oct. 24 —The powerful trades union congress has indorsed the , closed shop. But it studiously sidestepped the real issue.

The 1927 trades union disputes act forbade government agencies to make union membership. a condi tion of employment. This act was repealed by the Labor parliament in recent months in accordance with a campaign pledge. The repeal leaves the way open for government agencies, both local and national, to solidify the T. U.

RUBBER PLASMA BAG PATENTED

Permits Pressure Use in Blood Transfusions.

By Science Service WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—Blood

transfusion apparatus quite different from the type generally employed in this country has just been patented here by a Swiss inventor, ‘Rudolf Bucher of Basel.

Instead of the familiar inverted bottle, Mr. Bucher uses a flexible rubber bag to contain the whale blood or plasma to be placed in the patient's vein. This permits the force of gravity, ordinarily the sole reliance for producing flow of the transfused blood, to be supplemented by pressure, if desired. Pressure mhy be applied in several ways directly to the outside of the bag, or it may be produced by inflating a small balloon inside the bag by means of an ordinary syringe bulb.

Between the bag and the outlet nipple to which the customary needle-bearing rubber tube as attached is a flat filter, the insure that no bubbles or solid foreign particles get into the patient's circulation. This filter is easily removable for cleaning and sterilization. -

* Rights in the patent, No. 2,409,734, have been assigned to the Swiss firm of G. Laubscher & Co, of Basil. 3

Meanwhile, for defense of the Suez canal and protection of the fabulously rich oil. concessions of the Middle East, it seems apparent + that the British will maintain a Middle East ‘defense line east of Suez. In Palestine, both Arab and Jewish factions argue that they respectively could offer the British more secure foundations in this critical area. : ; The Arabs frgue that militantly nationalistic Zionism might constitute a threat to British bases and that a weak Jewish minority would be safer for British interests east of uez.
