has precisely is meant by that familiar phrase. ‘freedom press'1

undainentally it is not s special privilege reserved for newspaper pub- lishers it is rather a phase of a much larger freedom-the freedom of all men to speak their minds openly and without fear The press claims no tight which should not belong to every citizen in a democracy. but freedom of the press is an all-important part oi this larger freedom because. under modern conditions. the press is the principal agency by which the ordinary man receives the tnior- snatiori he needs to yudge the actions of his rulers and make up his mind on public issues. Without nevnpape s. or with only gagged and blindfolded ones. he is in the dark. and helpless. An unfettered press is therefore one of the essential bulwarks oi a democratic world ' ‘ ‘ - ' I f any proof be needed. it is provided by the record of the Fascist and Nazi diciaships. Rigid control of all sources oi public information, and especially of newspapers. wasgtthe cornerstone upon Much those regimes were founded Without a. they could never have held power With it. they could do as they pleased, to the eventual ruin oi their own peoples as well as much of the rest oi the world fr '-

liutg disastrous chapter oi history should provide a warning against any attempt. by governments or by private interests. to restrict the essential freedom oi the press. A free people must stand on guard not only against direct censor- < ship. but also against rnore insidious encraac’ ts. Nominal freedom is not enough The only truly free press is one which can record the news faithfully and comment on it frankly. without lear oi direct or indirect punishiriei... Neither

the press nor the public is safe with anything less than this.

ll liberty. oi course involves obligations. The obligation of allree press is to ruly free It must be thorough. accurate and unbiased in its reporting. sincere and thoughtful in its editorials. and resistant to all outside pressure. lt must be both cautious and bold—cautious until it knows all the lacta bold when it is sure oi its ground. It must, above all. be inspired by devotion to the public welfare as its staff understands ll.

y: uch a newspaper is worthy of the privileges which the English-speaking peoples have traditionally granted to their press Such a newspaper is also the best guardian oi the liberties oi the people. if"

IIAPHIA - An opflfat- ion in the interior of a rheum- atlo heart - apparently the first suiah operation ever performed successfully in Ptuladelphla - waa disclosed today.

The operation, medical circles said, has been duplicated only a tow tiiiyisii anywhere sin in the world, and navu by prsclael! m" same technique.

Speedy laoavor!

‘rha operation was performed seven days ago on a wvmlfl DI- tlent at Episcopal Hospitsl- Today aha ls almost fully recovered and la leaving by train late this after- mion for Chicago, ‘where aha will ha presented ta the convention of tho American College of Chest Physicians.

The woman ls Mrs. Melville Ward, M, of Newark. N. J-. mother of a five-ycar-old daughter,

In childhood aha suffered from rheumatic fever. The mltral valve of her heart was effected and thereafter, aha waa unable to lead a normal, active life.

Recently aha suffered a _heart attack. Examination showed that. the valve opening had contracted and that the flow of blood was im- paired.

Two Have Same Aliment

At Eplscoplal Hospital, there was another patient suffering from the same ailment, and on Juria f0 it was decided to operate on both the same day.

The other patient, however, weakened too quickly after the heart cavity was opened, and so the operation had to be suspended. With Mrs. Ward, however, it was different, - Here is how the two-hour opera- tion Iwaa carried out:

The chest was opened and the fourth rib reimcved. The lung was retracted to one aide and incision was made in the pericardium, or fibrous sac, which encloacs the heart.

An incision was made in the wall of the heart. The surgeon's glove-encased lndeirflnger was ln- serted into the heart incision.

Finger Guides Knlfo

The finger probed until it reach- ed the mftral valve. A specially- devlaad knife was- inserted into the heart. opening. The knife was guided along tho slide of the linker to the valve.

The valve was cut, the knife re- moved, and the cover of the heart sewed.

Since then, Mrs. Wardb heart has lost the murmur which it had for years. Her strength and weight are almost normal. . Previously, according to one of the surgeons, such operations were done “blind.” In other words, a tube, ans end of which had a cutting device attached, was in- serted inside the heart. Never be- fore, it la believed, had the surgeonmdllnger been used to locate the offending valve.

Promises Belle! for Many

Considerable imputus was given l0 heart operations during the last war for the removal of shrapnel. flow, however, the new technique is believed to hold promise of re- lief for many rheumatic fever vic- tims.

Preparatory experiments for the operation were conducted in part at Hahnemann Hospital, where animals, usually dogs, were used as subjects.

The mltral valve guards the opening between the heart's left atrium, or aurlclc, and, the left ventricle from returning to the ntriuitn, or aurlcle. The valve is sometimes called a bicuspidvalve. It consists of two triangular flaps.

' Valve Defective

Usually the valve flaps back and forth. When defective. as in Mrs. Wards case, it becomes

rigid and the flap action ls last. 1n SOiAl-h Carolina tccently, there i?“ ll Sllflhl-ly similar operation‘ but the technique involved Cutting a hole through the valve. rather, than severing part of the valve‘ itself. so unit free motion can be‘- restored.

Dr. Lucius Wilson, medical di- IECl-Ol‘ of the hospital, confirmed. the report of the operation. He said two surgeons were involved,’ but they asked that their ident- ifies not be disclosed.
