BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor NEW YORK.— (&) —The me chanical genius of Colonel Charlep A. Lindbergh, switched to science, inaugurates a new cycle in medi cal progress announced today. He has erfected a new me chanical heart and lungs at the Rockefeller Institute, where he has been working for several years in seclusion of his own choosing. It enables surgeons to remove a whole organ, such as kidneys, heart, spleen. or glands from an animal’s body, and keep it alive indefinitely, “growing independent -I¥, in’ an artificial chamber. " THe mechanieai heart furnishes artifieial blood. It revives organs an hour after death of the animal from which they came. This reaches a goal medicine has sought 123 years. The goal is to make whole parts of the body live in glass chambers where scientists could see them and learn at first hand how they fight disease and how they secrete the sinews of health. Heretofore the ‘“handicap has been that the removed organs died—they caught bacterial infec tions just like a person. Lind bergh’s new apparatus has wiped out the infections. His part of the contribution is the mechanical side. He teamed with Dr. Alexis Carrel, and with him signed the announcement made in science. Dr. Carrel won the Nobel prize for achievements in keeping tissues alive outside the body.
