Blood-Saving Tool Aids Aneurysm Surgery At Maryland Hospital
Surgeons at University of Maryland Hospital used a new clamp device to treat an infected swelling of the ascending aorta. Dr. R Adams Cowley and Dr John M Allen reported the patient was discharged exactly two weeks after the six hour operation with blood loss about three pints. The device keeps blood flowing through the aorta during removal of the damaged section, reducing loss significantly. Meanwhile U S Army units begin arrival in Europe, with US 10th Infantry Division replacing 1st Division on the Iron Curtain frontier at Bremerhaven, part of Operation Gyroscope. About 45,000 troops plus families are involved in the rotation. General Hart welcomed the 10th and stressed defense cooperation with Allies and partners.

Memphis Promise May Eliminate Power Pact
Dodge remains a witness as Memphis political and business figures push to cancel the Dixon-Yates power contract. Anderson, Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee chair, set a Wednesday meeting with the AEC to review why the deal, signed at Eisenhower’s direction, still stands. The 107 million dollar plant at West Memphis, Arkansas, aims to supply Memphis and replace diverted TVA power. Tobey and Vogel discussed steps for Memphis to regain autonomy, including owning a plant site within 90 days and speeding critical contracts. TVA renewal of power contracts is in doubt as Kefauver’s subcommittee questions Adolphe Wenzell, ex Budget Bureau consultant and former First Boston Coop official who advised on Dixon-Yates financing.
