SHE WAS HEARTLESS—Malaie placidly Introduces one of her
•even new pupa In Stanford, Calif, oblivious of the fact
that she is a milestone In medical history. Sixteen month*
before, her heart was removed, clear out, and she was kept
alive for 77 minutes by a heart-lung machine. Electrocardio-
grams later showed her heart functioning normally. Dr.
Edward J. Hurley and a team of Stanford University sur-
geons did the job, which may be a first step toward perfect-
ing such a technique for serious human heart operations,
especially for the 15,000 “blue babies’* bom each year.

SEEING A FEW folks sitting
in their cars on Main Street
Saturday afternoon watching the
people going back and forth
brought back old memories.
Remember when this was
the thing” and about the only
thing to do on Saturdays for so
many families?
The whole family came to
town and spent practically the
whole day. The head of the
family would park the old fam-
ily car in as convenient a loca-
tion as possible.
This served as headquarters,
from which the various mem-
bers fanned out to shop or go
to the picture show. But a
great deal of time was spent in
just sitting and looking and
talking.

WASHINGTON -(UPD— Hou-

day that the Secret Service will
have to protect the vice presi-
dent at the originally advertis-
ed cost and the Customs Bure-
au must get along without pret-
ty hostesses to soothe distrau-
ght travelers.
These decisions by the House
Appropriations Committee were
among reductions totaling
$149.8 million in budget re-
quests of the Treatury and
Post Office departments and
the executive office of the Pre-
sident. The House will act on
the money bill Thursday.
The committee approved
$5,997,026,000 for the three a-
gencies in the year starting next
July 1. It cut $57.3 million from
the Treasury request, $91.9 mil-
lion from the Post Office and
$417,000 from the executive of-
fice.
The total was about 2.5 per
cent below the President’s re-
quest but ran $331 million more
thin was appropriated for the
affected agencies for the cur-
rent 12 months. The cut ap-
peared to fall short of announ-
ced Republican goals to hold
most spending to this year’s
levels.
A subcommittee headed by
Rep. J. Vaughan Gary, D-Va.,
did not say how many of the 35
Secret Service agents request-
ed to guard Vice President
Lyndon B. Johnson had been
disallowed. Secret Service
chief J. J. Rowley asked for
$322,000. The committee said
former chief U. E. Baugh-
man had estimated the cost at
$100,000 and it was including
enough to allow that level of
protection.
As for the interpreter-hostes-
ses, the committee said it
might be a good idea to have
