Lindbergh built to keep organs alive outside the body has “learned" how to breathe, Dr. Richard Bing, of the department of surgery of Colum- bia University College of Physic- ‘iians and Surgeo reported m- ey. Up to now, Dr. "Bing wrote in the current issue of the magazine Science, the Undberghhcart had to be fed dissolved oxygen in- tsead of assimilating the oxygen from the blood as body tissues do. ‘ Now, he added, an assimilation method has been developed. In other words. the robot heart can really preathe. Described‘ Method The breathing of the Lindbergh heart as Dr. Bing describes it is a simplified version through the lungs. In the lining of the lungs the oxygen is taken up into the blood, where it is combined with other substances to form hemoglobin, meoycyanin and other pigments which color the blood streamfiThe blood vessels carry these substances through the body until they reach the tissues, where the oxygen is taken out and used. ‘in the mechanical heart, the lung function of the body's breath- ing is eliminated. At first, Lind- bergh and his collaborator in the development of "the heart, Dr. Alexis Carrel, tried~to begin the process by introducing oxygen lirough red blood cells. This. Dr. Bing said, did not work because the cells produced methemoglobln "after six or eight hours, making perfusion for sev- eral days impossible." When per- fusion stonnei-L- the artificial life process stopped. Dr. Bing set out to find an- other way, Instead of mliemog- lobiri. he tried hemocyanin as the carrier. This method was success- ful. ‘ Hon. Earl Lawson Opposition Critic UITAWA, June l6-l~lo_n.

(By The Canadian Press) O/ITAWA, June l6—-Following i5 the text of the tax and tariff por- ticns of Finance Minister Dun- nings budget speech today. “The over-all deficit for the past fiscal year is estimated at $13,775,- 000. In the budget a year ago, I forecast a deficit of $35,000.000,and stated that in accordance with the Government's definite program of attaining the final objective of a balanced budget at the earliest practical date. I hoped to wipe out the deficit altogether during the current fiscal year. While we have been able to do very much better than my fcuecast for 1937-38, con- ditions beyond our control have made it. difficult, if not wholly im- possible, to achieve the goal I had in mind for 1938-39. Rcveuue and " nditure "The House will recall that the main and supplementary estimates. already submitted, call for total appropriations of $524,600,000. I! we can Judge by the experience of Previous years, the departments will be able to effect considerable savings in their appropriations and these savings should be more than sufficient to offset any additional expenditures that may be author- ized by further supplementary est- imates before the end of the fiscal war or by the provisions of legis- lation introduced since the estim- ates were brought down. I believe, therefore, that I am safe in estim- ating that total expenditures for the current fiscal year will not exceed $524,600,000. Our revenue prospects for the full year will be greatly influenced‘ 115' whether or not our hopes for a good wheat crop are realized and whether or not the current trend of business in the countries which constitute our chief markets show improvement during the next few months However, two and one- hali months of our current fiscal year have already elapsed and our Anticipation of relief from , resulting last year in tax collections of $448,652,000, an excess of more than $62,000,000 over the preceding year- were disappointed in the budget speech delivered in the House of Commons yesterday by Hon.
