Kidney Center At Emory
Computer Helps Match
Donors With Patients
By JO ANN HITMAN
ATLANTA (UPI)—A comput
er service programmed to pro
vide new kidneys for patients
living on artificial kidneys now
is operating in five Southern
states.
Dr. Kenneth N. Walton, direc
tor of the Cadaver Kidney Pro
curement Program started by
the Emory University School of
Medicine here, said the infor
mation on persons being kept
alive on artificial kidneys is
stored in a computer at Emory,
ready for instant retrieval
whenever a potential donor is
found.
“Information will include the
patient’s tissue type (to deter
mine what factors will play a
role in his body’s rejection of
foreign tissue), whether he has
had a blood transfusion since a
blood test was last conducted to
determine his tissue type and
how long he has been on the
artificial kidney machine,” Wal
ton said.
Has Air Schedules
“It will also include when he
last had treatment on the ma
chine, which would determine
how good a candidate he is for
surgery, where he and his doc
tor are and how to notify them
and what airplane connections
are between the two points in
volved.”
Walton said kidneys from
dead persons are in fairly short
supply, and the best recipient
has to be found almost imme
diately. The best potential don
or is usually someone with a
head injury so severe that it is
evident he will not survive, thus
allowing for some advance plan-

ning.
“Relatives (of the donor)
commonly are kind enough to
give permission for the transfer
of cadaver kidneys to unrelated
and unknown recipients,” he
said.
Always in Demand
The computer system, Walton
said, permits an instant survey
of the 20 to 40 people usually
in need of a kidney transplant
at any one time in the South
east. Six medical institutions in
Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia
and Maryland are currently in

Among Four
To Get Awards
W. Frank Moore of Crompton-
Highland Mills, was one of four
textile vocational teachers who
were presented honorable men
tion certificates for outstanding
achievement by the Textile
Education Foundation.
The awards were announced
at the organization’s meeting in
Atlanta at Georgia Tech.
Joe G. Ratley, an employe of
Geneva Cotton Mills, Summer
ville; and Jesse Tucker, em
ployed by Riegel Textile Corp,
at Trion were named Georgia’s
most outstanding vocational
teachers for 1968-69 at the 26th
annual meeting.
They were presented Quibley
Awards, and gold engraved
watches.
The award was established in
1960 in honor of Thomas Quigley
who, prior to his retirement,
had devoted many years of ser
vice to vocational education
programs in Georgia.
“In a small town you might
never get a good match,” Wal
ton added. He said a kidney
donor recently turned up in At
lanta who matched a patient in
Richmond, Va.
“We got a police car with a
siren to go out to Dobbins Air
Force Base (in nearby Mariet
ta, Ga.),” Walton said. “A Na
tional Guard jet fighter took the
kidney to Richmond, where doc
tors sewed it in about midnight.
“Now, we won’t be defeated
by the fact that a kidney turned
up in the wrong place.”

Probe Columbus
Police Dept
ATLANTA (UPI)-Atty. Gen.
Arthur Bolton said Monday he
has “no intention of conducting
an investigation” of the Musco
gee County grand jury contro
versy concerning the Columbus
police department.
After a 45-minute closed-door
meeting with Columbus Mayor
J. R. Allen, Mayor pro tem
George Dorman and Bolton,
Gov. Lester Maddox said the
state would stay out of the
“strictly local government situ
ation.”
Maddox indicated last week
that he was willing to help in
the matter and might use the
attorney general and the Geor
gia Bureau of Investigation.
The governor said Allen a
greed with him that the prob
lem should be handled locally.
“The state should enter the pic
ture only if life, limb and prop
erty are threatened,” he said.
“The situation hasn’t developed
that far.”
Columbus city officials turned
to Maddox for help in resolving
conflicting grand jury reports
on their police department.
The June-July jury issued a
presentment charging extensive
corruption within the depart
ment, but a subsequent jury
convened by Superior Court
Judge John Land to investigate
the initial charges made a con
flicting report.

U.S. Straws in Wind Test
Direction of Soviet Policy
By LEON DENNEN
NEA Foreign News Analyst
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (NEA)
According to a national public opinion poll, a majority of
Americans are in favor of reaching agreements with
Russia. They also believe, Louis Harris reports, that the
climate is “right” today to make such accords possible.
This is precisely what the Nixon administration is cur
rently trying to determine.
In and out of the U.N., American diplomats are again
testing the direction of Russia’s foreign policy. The new
round of U.S.-Soviet discussions is devoted primarily to the
critical situation in the Middle East and a possible agree
ment on the limitation of strategic nuclear arms.
But what Secretary of State Rogers and his advisers are
also trying to discover is who in the Kremlin decides policy
these days.
Is it Premier Kosygin who wants to reason and negotiate
with the Red Chinese? Or is it Communist party chief
Brezhnev who is determined to isolate the “Mao Tse-tung
clique” and expel Peking from the world Communist move
ment?
Not since the fall of former Premier Nikita Khrushchev
has there been so much disagreement among Kremlinolo
gists about who is actually in control in Moscow. Even the
usual ideological twists and turns of the Marxist-Leninists
are hardly an explanation for the Kremlin’s current zigzag
policies.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, who speaks
for Kosygin, continues to make peace overtures to the
United States, West Germany and other NATO nations.
But Moscow’s East German puppet Walter Ulbricht is
again impeding traffic to and from West Berlin.
Is Ulbricht acting on his own or is he backed by the die
hard Stalinists in the Kremlin who want a major new crisis
over Berlin?
Earlier this year Moscow’s Pravda, official newspaper
of the Soviet Communist party, castigated “American
imperialism” which was said to engage in “rapacious
adventures.” In recent weeks, especially since the escala
tion of the Russian-Chinese conflict, Pravda editorials have
been conspicuous by the absence of any anti-American
diatribes.
However, a spate of articles in other newspapers by
Red army marshals and generals, including Deputy De
fense Minister Krylov who is also commander of Russia’s
strategic missile forces, continued to threaten the United
States with nuclear annihilation.
Such diversity of attitudes is normal in democratic so
ciety but not in Russia where the regimented press usually
reflects the views of top officials in the Kremlin.
Who, then, speaks for the Kremlin? This is a key prob
lem the Nixon administration is exploring.
An East European diplomat and experienced Kremlin
watcher suggests that in Russia, as in the United States,
there is disagreement on foreign policy between hawks
and doves.
“The trouble with American interpretations of Soviet
policy is that they fluctuate between pessimism and
optimism,” he said. “A friendly gesture by Moscow is
hailed as a diplomatic breakthrough while the usual bel
licose statements by Stalinist politicians and their military
backers are viewed with dismay as setbacks.”
In the diplomat’s view, the Soviet leaders are them
selves groping in the dark. They suffered reverses within
the world Communist movement in recent years and the
future trend is toward even greater disintegration in the
“socialist camp.” They are therefore still trying to decide
whether it is in Russia’s national interest to seek a rap
proachement with the United States or to promote and
encourage “revolutionary wars” in Berlin, the Middle East,
Latin America and Southeast Asia.
Thus, while the prospects for American-Soviet relations
cannot be termed gloomy, no broad vistas yet appear for
the settlement of any fundamental issues.
A majority of Americans undoubtedly wants agreements
with Moscow but it takes two sides to reach an agreement.

passed constitutional amend
ment “as promptly as possible”
so that the states can vote for
ratification in time for the 1972
presidential election.
Nixon sent a message to
Congress last Feb. 20—one
month after taking office
following his squeaker election
victory—calling for revision,
but not abolition, of the
Electoral College.
He suggested that Congress
replace the winner-take-all elec
toral system, under which a
candidate who wins a state’s
popular vote captures all its
electoral votes, with a plan by
which the candidates would
split the electoral votes on a
proportional basis.
Nixon said at the time he did
not believe an amendment
providing for elimination of the
Electoral College could over
come controversy and be
adopted by the required three
fourths of the states by the 1972
elections.
In a statement issued by the
White House today, Nixon took
note of action in the House
where Republican leaders
joined with Democrats and
pushed through a plan for
electing the President and vice
president by direct, popular
vote.
The President acknowledged
that many senators might
prefer a different method, but
said “contrary views are now a
luxury” and that the urgent
need for electoral reform
should be the controlling
consideration.
“I hope, therefore, that two
thirds of the Senate will
approve the House-passed
amendment as promptly as
possible so that all of us
together can then urge the
states also to give their
approval,” he said.
Nixon said “it is clear that
unless the Senate follows the
lead of the House, all opportuni
ty for reform will be lost this
year and possibly for years to
come.”
“Accordingly, because the
ultimate goal of electoral
reform must prevail over
differences as to how best to
achieve that goal, I endorse the
direct election approach and
urge the Senate also to adopt
it.”
