What bothered all the panelists was the problem of supply. Though there are 500,000 adults in the U.S. dying each year of coronary disease and 6,000 to 7,000 children dying of incurable inborn heart defects, there is no prospect of more than a few thousand hearts becoming available. The pressing question, therefore, is how will these be allocated? Dr. Barnard was not worried by the chance of having two or more patients at one time with equal need. He was confident that one would have the more urgent need for a new heart, and he would...
Three Criteria. Surgeon Barnard was equally confident that the time of a prospective donor's death can be determined clearly enough to indicate when his heart may be taken, although the subject is technically complex. Under South African law, he said, a patient is dead when he has no reflexes, is no longer breathing, and his heart has stopped. The Groote SchuUr Hospital team faithfully applied these criteria in the case of Donor Denise Darvall. Certainly, said Barnard, he could have restarted her heart, but it would soon have stopped again because her brain was dead...
Died. Paul Whiteman, 76, pop conductor who for two generations filled dance floors, concert halls and the air-waves with his "symphonic jazz"; of a heart attack; in Doylestown, Pa. Trained in the classics on the viola, yet fascinated with jazz's "abandon," Pops Whiteman arrived at a sweet and golden middle road that pleased audiences everywhere-on million-seller records (Whispering), radio, TV, nightclubs and the concert stage. He took chances on new music (Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue) and new musicians (Tommy Dorsey, Jack Teagarden), but his staple was rich, smooth orchestration that kept his foot...
Died. Harry Steenbock, 81, longtime (1908-56) University of Wisconsin research chemist and pioneer in vitamin D-enriched foods; of a heart attack; in Madison, Wis. In 1924, Steenbock discovered that vitamin D could be "activated" with ultraviolet rays from a quartz-vapor lamp, quickly treated milk and other foods to provide the first new source of the rickets-preventing "sun vitamin" since cod-liver oil. His patents could have made him wealthy, but instead he helped set up a foundation to handle royalties, which netted $10,000,000 for the university before a federal court in 1945 ruled...
Died. Cyrus S. Ching, 91, first director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service; of a heart attack; in Washington, D.C. "My policy," said Ching, "is moderation, cooperation, and sit down and talk it over." For more than half a century-first as negotiator for the Boston El., later as U.S. Rubber Co.'s labor troubleshooter, and from 1947 to 1952 as the Government's top peacemaker-the hulking (6 ft. 7 in.), Canadian-born lawyer ironed out countless labor spats with such dogged patience that even John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers couldn...
