Durban surgeon saves life in 2M hour heart transplant
Attica's seventh heart transplant recipient D J Stoltz, a 44 year old Durban welder and father of two, is in good condition after a 2M hour operation at Wentworth Hospital. Donor Fan Taylor, 20, a Durban football player, died from injuries in an accident. Taylor’s brother Pat reported consent for the transplant. Separately, Indianapolis police Sgt John H Wise dismantled a homemade bomb minutes before detonation, using Korea War experience to cut wires and thwart disaster. The device, found under a North Side home, was deemed a professional job and Wise performed a precise rescue with nearby bomb squad help.

Captain Freed On Technicality After Court Ruling
Captain Stephen J. Borys, jailed five years on a rape conviction in Georgia, was discharged at Fort Sheridan after a military appeals court reversed the verdict. The Supreme Court later tied military trials to service-connected charges, and the case followed a back pay settlement and restoration of duties. The narrative also mentions Lawrence Welk dismissing Natalie Nevins for missing a band date, despite her five years with the Welk organization.
