The World Today By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (#—Everyone in ‘he campaign is hopping mad but the one probably angriest of all ‘s the one who hasn’t said much atcly but will soon; President Tru- aan. This is his chance to blow the tepublicans out of their britches, € he can. He starts his whistle- top tour this weekend. And he | sn’t giving out any previews. Re- | soriers at his weekly news confer- nee yesterday tried to find out that he is going to talk about it he told them they’d have to ait and see. He has from now until election out five weeks, to repay the tepublicans for the blame and ridi- ‘ule they've heaped on him and is administration not only in the ampaign but for seven years. He has more at stake in the election than just the victory of Gov. Stevenson and the democratic ti . His speeches to the voters will also be an appeal for vindica- tion of his presidency. Truan had expressed admira tden or Gen. Eisenhower. But that was 1 the days before the cam- paign began, before he had anc: to see or hear the kind of @ampaign the general would make. Perbaps because he’s been in vali: s so long himself Truman wasr t shocked when Eisenhower begai pouring scorn on the Tru map administration and abo t getting rid of the ‘‘crooks” and ‘‘robbers.”” Bu, now the general has made a | itical career of denouncing the administration in attacks which have increased with such intensity that Eisenhower is outdoing Sen. Taft in that department. Truman has kept more or less mum on the subject of Eisenhower since the general began these tac- tics. He’s probably pretty mad in- side, particularly with Eisenhow- er’s criticism of the administra- tion’s foreign policy. When Eisenhower was chief of staff after the war he certainly was in a position to know something | about the shaping of that policy, even though he may have had noth- ing to do with the shaping. But if Eisenhower did have a hand in making some of the policy which he is now criticising, no one | is in a better position to know it than Truman. There has been speculation here, but not officially, that if Truman is mad enough he may declassify government documents to what part some of the Republi- cans most active in this campaign played in foreign policy. Gov. Stevenson, who hasn’t been around Washington to contend with | the Republicans throughout these past seven years, has been devo- | ting most of his time to talking about the issues and his own ideas as they would affect the future. But raking over the past was made to order for Truman who | has had to live with the Repub- licans. In this campaign he can make that his speciality. He has a knack for it, as he demonstrated im 1948, O'Dwyer In Calif. Hospital BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (” William O'Dwyer, U. S.

BLAKESLEE | AP Science Reporter NEW YORK (#—This is a story | of mankind's great dream, and a law of nature that stands in the | | way. It begins with an exciting fact: ! Spare human kidneys are being put into the legs of people doomed to death because their own kid-' neys are sick and failing. } The spare kidneys worked for a! time, then failed. The third kidney is taken from persons who just died, or whose own healthy kidney must be re- moved because of other illness. The spare kidney is put into a pocket created in the sick person’s thigh and is connected to veins and arteries in the leg, to help purify his blood. The ureter or drainage tube from the spare kid- ney leads to a cup strapped to the thigh. Three Boston surgeons told to- day of making six such kidney transplants. The failure of these six trans- | plants may help lead to success in the dream of someday being | able to give humans new kidneys, lungs, hearts or other spare parts | when our own vital organs become sick or damaged. | One transplanted kidney worked ;for nearly 2 months, and actually survived in another person’s leg! for 101 days. This one new chapter in attempts } to transplant. human organs was described to the Convention of the American College of Surgeons by Dr. David M. Hume, Dr. John P. | Merrill and Dr. Benjamin F. Miller of Peter Bent Brigham Hospi | and Harvard Medical School, Bos- ' | ton. | This week, other surgeons told of trying to transplant animals’ | lungs and hearts and gullets and | windpipes. Nature’s law is that your body will destroy any protein or tissue | | other than its individual own, by | | creating antibodies against it. All our organs are made of pro- tein. If you put one person’s tissue into another’s body, he reacts against it with destructive anti- | bodies. Bones and arteries and corneas or windows of eyes are | being transplanted. But your own | body uses them only seaffold, | apparently, soon replacing the for- | | eign tissue with its own cells and | material. Why won't one body tolerate tis- | sue from another? | Over the world, many scientists | are trying to learn why | The Boston team does: the answer, yet. The patients, helped for a time with kidney | transplants, died of failure of their own sick kidneys. But two of the six were able ! for a time to be up and about and to walk.
