Saving the Bleeders. In another series of experiments on animals, a Boston City Hospital team sponsored by the Harvard Medical School reported the possibility of spleen transplantation to save the lives of hemophilia victims. Hemophiliacs suffer from the lack of a blood-clotting substance called AHF. As a result, an otherwise manageable cut can become a source of quick death. At present, when a severe onset of hemorrhaging occurs, hemophilia victims can be saved from bleeding to death by injections of AHF extracted and concentrated from a healthy person's blood. But the process is costly, and the relief...

However brilliant they may be at times, their Jewish tradition and color have a borrowed air; Singer's are genuine.

Nineteen plants presently shuttered by strikes are considered war plants because they turn out supplies or equipment for Viet Nam; the Government last week appealed to the U.A.W. to allow some urgently needed Ford truck parts to be crated and shipped off to the war. The consumer is also likely to suffer, judging from settlements so far. When a strike of 54,000 rubber workers ended with a 5% pay increase, the five big rubber companies affected quickly passed on the cost...
