The physicians were critical of the dearth of scientific reports to Date from surgeons who have done the operations. We have Learned nothing from the first six. We Are not getting the or.

George Burch professor of Medicine at Tulane and president elect of the american College of cardiology called for animal experimentation especially on primates before human transplantation be allowed to be done More extensively. Senator rebukes colleagues continued continued conference acknowledged with regret this decision by the romanians to pull out and continues its work to achieve its goal the preparation of the International conference of the communist and workers Par ties the Unity of the International communist movement in the interest of the fight against imperialism and for although the russians can certainly be expected to take some form of retaliatory action against the romanians As was predicted by the communist sources there was no expectation of an outright break in relations Between the two coun tries As occurred 20 years ago when marshal Tito of Yugoslavia defied the Kremlin. But communist As Well As Western political observers Here Are wondering what the roman ians really expected to gain by taking such a hard position. For obvious internal reasons they have for some time been drumming up their own nationalism and an Independent Posi Tion in the soviet orbit is part of this. They have also been striving to be the Healing agent in the rift Between the soviet Union and communist China by opposing any condemnation of peking and arguing against a world Summit meeting such As mos cow wants on the grounds that it would Only deepen the split. But their efforts have Only been met with scorn in peking and they now find themselves without a single supporter in the Moscow oriented group of Par ties. Moreover a soviet economic squeeze can prove very dam aging since the romanians have Little Prospect of improving their Trade with the West. Nor can there be any Hope that the United states might jump into the breach with economic help As it did after marshal Tito broke with Stalin in the romanians have also been plugging for. The disbanding of the soviet led Warsaw pact military Alliance of which they Are a member along with Hungary Poland Czechoslovakia Bulgaria and East Germany. But they have adroitly coupled this with a demand that such a move be countered with the disbanding of the North Atlantic treaty organization. The romanians Are expected to be on hand when the Warsaw pact holds a political Consulta Tion in the bulgarian capital o Sofia on March 6. At the moment there appears to be no expectation that they will walk out of that Alliance too although As the diplomatic pundits say the possibility cannot be excluded. However sources Here said that the Warsaw Pacl conference has nothing to do with the soviet romanian feud it has been called the sources said to work out new strategy in the Light of the changing situation in the Vietnam War.

This year or. Rose the conservative Standar bearer is a Farmer from the tiny Hamlet of Bun Clody on the Northern Border of the constituency. As a result Killarney s votes Are once More up for grabs in spite of the fact that the social credit candidate Peter Sawat sky farms Only three Miles outside of the town. Only the most partisan observers give or. Sawatsky a Chance of gaining any More than the 70 votes in both 1962 and under Normal circumstances or. Rose although popular but not As Well known As or. Dow could be expected to win the loyalty of Killarney simply because of his party ties. But a new element has been added to the picture that May prevent the 47-year-old Bun Clody Farmer from gaining As much support As he would have expected if circumstances were different. The new twist the Only strictly local Issue in the entire Campaign centres on the fact that the local conservative association initiated the court action that resulted in the current by election. Because of the rigid and somewhat unrealistic terms of the electoral act the returning officer Arthur Mcknight had to be found guilty of corrupt practices in order to nullify the election. This occurred in spite of the fact that the court ruled that or. Mcknight had made Only an honest error and was in no Way accused of corrupting the democratic process. Since or. Mcknight has been a life Long conservative and a highly respected resident of Kil Larney Many voters Here appear to be disgruntled Over the fact that his own party has been responsible for smearing his reputation. The former returning officer is embittered himself Over the affair and he shattered local conservatives week by writing a letter to the weekly newspapers in the constituency that was highly critical of those who initiated tie court action.

The balloons refused to accept this. A general election became inevitable when King Baudouin failed to find a basis on which a new government could be formed. But no one is sure what Means will be used to Register the irritation. The liberals Are hoping that conservatives will either switch their allegiance or stay at Home on voting Day. The so reds Are expecting they will be the beneficiaries bombers keep up attack Saigon a Southern Al lied forces fought heavy Battles at both ends of South Vietnam s Northern Frontier Friday and re ported killing 330 guerrilla sol Diers Many of them with machine gun fire from armoured vehicles.

And the conservatives Are simply undergoing a severe Case of pre election jitters. A Brief sampling of the electorate by the free press could uncover no indication of what May happen but the affair is obviously on everyone s mind. Both liberals and conserva Tives staged Public rallies in the town this week but neither unearthed any portents. Liberal Leader be Mol Gat Drew a crowd of 100 on wednesday and Premier Walter Weir attracted 140 residents on thursday. In any Case if the signs Are Correl and deviation from past election trends in other parts of the constituency is minimal Killarney will once again be the key. And although even the Liber als Are far from confident of Victory the Odds would seem favor or. Dow. The 61-year-old former mayor and farm implement de Aler has another asset on his Side As far As Killarney is concerned his son George is a popular Young doctor in the town. But Allan Rose has a lot working in his favor As Well. Not the least of which has been the week Long Blitz of Premier Weir. The Premier an accomplished master at politicking in the Rural areas was an obvious hit wherever he went and he must have Shook hands traded Hom Ilies and drank Coffee with almost All of the voters Here. Or. Rose is also personally attractive himself. A quiet reticent Man with a capable platform manner his family is Well known in civic affairs in. The area.

In addition the four main towns Killarney Boissevain Deloraine and Hartney Are not yet broken of the Strong tory tradition that was Nur tured during 20 years of representation by Errick f. Willis. The old party ties Jay once again prove too powerful for or. Dow As they have in the past and if so Premier Weir will have carried off his first Triumph As Leader of Manitoba s conservatives. In any Case monday evening will Tell the tale once and for All. The two parties split three ways on the measure those for it those against and those who abstained. There can be few times in the recent history of the British who went to War twice this Century to Honor their word were in greater moral discomfiture. Some intellectuals even detect a smell of Munich in the air. A measure of the despondency was the unanimous condemnation in the three leading British magazines out Friday. The Law is one of the most immoral pieces of legislation to have emerged from any British declared the conservatively inclined Spectator. In the hurry to keep out Brown skinned said the moderate economist govern ment parliament and the nation have achieved and the socialist new states Man under an editorial titled the Harvest of said More than Ever before one has to doubt whether this government can or for thai matter should survive its full asians trying to flee Kenya among the there who have British passports got 24 hours longer to beat the Law because of the lords Tal Kathon.

Am they pointed to a similar cavalcade organized in 1960 which drove Over mining trails to a then largely inaccessible grand rapids and which they credit with prompt government action in building a Highway to grand rapids the following year. An interesting sidelight to the trip was that one of the bus passengers de Balcaen of Dauphin was Given to help defray expenses but not by his Home town municipal Council. Dauphin Council rejected his request for Aid for the apparent reason that direct grand rapids Thompson link were developed Dauphin would b bypassed by Thompson bound traffic.

There in the measure such As limiting the special Powers to three months might be acceptable to the lower Chouse on a second Reading of the Bill. The size of the vote against the president s request came As a Surprise most observers believed the Bill would either pass or be Defeated by a slender margin. Two reasons for the presi ent s legislative defeat in a Ime of crisis were being offered. The first is that the Assembly imply wanted to flex its legislative muscle it was elect d Only last fall and was naturally reluctant to turn Over ome of its Powers to the even in the of a National emergency. The second is that president Thieu did not dramatize his request for the Powers. In fact according to one View he ended to indicate that the emergency was not serious enough to ask for full and broad., decree Powers but Only for some specific ones in the Fields of Economy and finance. This failure to stress the urgent need for widespread Powers convinced the Assembly and4that he really needed no special authority according to some observers.
