That was where Anesthesiologist Kenneth Keown came in. He devised elaborate techniques for anesthetizing the patients and running sensitive tests during surgery to make suwf that they did not slip over the line into permanent oblivion. If their hearts, at best always on the point of failure, showed signs of stopping during the drastic operation, Dr. Keown was ready with a battery of revivers. The surgeon would work better without the nagging fear and responsibility for the patient's minute-to-minute reactions. The Hahnemann team's technique has already saved thousands of lives and is becoming standard...
...Keown that the anesthesiologists looked last week as the grand old man of anesthesia for inside-the-heart surgery. What they saw was a crew-cut man of 36, who still looks like the halfback he was in junior college (Graceland, Iowa), only 17 years ago.

"Ken has shown us the way, and we've followed," said Sadove, who won wide medical acclaim for his work in keeping the Brodie twins alive through many...
Delicate Dozens. With their own adaptation of Dr. Keown's technique, surgical teams at the University of Illinois hospitals have performed 200 operations on the mitral valve without a single death in the operating room (and few deaths afterward). Dr. Sadove reported. Then he spelled out the dozens of delicate steps which the anesthesiologist takes in each such case. The key steps give a good idea of how far anesthesiology has advanced beyond the mask-and-needle stage...
...stated the decisions, votes and reasoning of the Board at 15 meetings during 1936, disclosed one surprising fact: the Board was not unanimous but divided on its most generally applauded action, the first, 50% increase in member bank reserve requirements, which took effect last August. The dissenters: Governors John Keown McKee and Chester Charles Davis. Whether they disagreed in whole or in part with the Board's consensus was not revealed. Whether or not they came around to Chairman Eccles' side when reserves were hiked a second time last January (TIME, Feb. 8) presumably will not be known...
