Sirica to pass sentences
WASHINGTON—The four men convicted in the Watergate cover-up trial before U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica for sentencing today.
The four, John N. Mitchell, H. R. Haldeman, John D. Ehrlichman and
John M. McDermott have been teaching two years.
Robert C. Mardian, au plan appeals expected to take up by our lawyers. The basic conviction against all four men was for conspiracy to obstruct justice, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in jail and a $10,000 fine.
Three of the conspirators also face additional punishment for other charges on which they were convicted. For former Altay Agen. Mitchell, the maximum is ten years in jail and for $7,000; for former White House clerk Leonard Johnson, 28 years and $55,000; for ox-Wheel House chief of clerk, 23 years and $37,000.
GNP falls 9.1 per cent
WASHINGTON - The government reported Thursday that inflation was worse than预期. The last three months of 1974, the year in which the economy normalized, accounted for the economy's remaining decline.
the total output of goods and services, or gross national product, showed a drop of 0.1 per cent at an annual rate after adjustment for inflation during the three-month period, the Commerce Department said. The figure was unchanged from last month's estimate, but was still the
sharpen quarterly drop since 1906. Measured quarter to quarter over the entire year, it was still a 5.5 per cent drop, the sharpest decline in any recession since the Great Depression.
Ford Co. profits down
DEAR BORAH, Mich., Ford Motor Co. reported Thursday that earnings tumbled 60 per cent from the previous year to $31 million, the firm's first since the end of year 1987.
Earnings were $3.86 a share, compared to 1973 when profits were a record $907 million or $9.13 a share.
The earnings sale came despite record worldwide sales for the year of $2.36 billion, up 3 per cent from $23 billion in 1973. Unit sales, however, declined 10 per cent to $5.36 million compared to a record $5.97 million in 1973.
Railroad aid okayed
WASHINGTON — Appropriations of $123 million for emergency aid to railroads run off surcharges funding were approved Thursday by the department's representatives.
The measure originally provided $100 million, principally for the Penn Central railroad building in the house added, by voice vote, $25. The measure did not provide any of this funding. Eric Lackawawich said.
Schneider to plan inquire
TOPEKA-Atty. Gen. Curt Sandree said Thursday that he planned to meet with the Kansas anti-immigrants by two members of the Kansas Corporation Commission.

Schneider said he planned no inquisition at this time, but said he and his staff would be conducting interviews and doing other research to determine whether legislators and state officials had accepted gratuities which might be construed as improper, perhaps illegal.

Exciting advances in the field of heart surgery have lowered the mortality rate for many cardiovascular diseases, Robert L. Reis, chief of cardiothoracic surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said Thursday.
WED. FEB. 26

About 28 million Americans have cardiovascular disease, the killer that takes more lives than all other causes of death combined.
Coronary artery disease, which includes heart attacks, affect the largest number of people, he said. About 600,000 men and women recently last year because of heart attacks.

Reis named three major areas of heart disease: coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease and valvular heart disease, which often occurs in people who are older.

Heart surgery cuts mortality rate
A HEART ATTACK OCCURS when the coronary arteries aren't able to deliver sufficient oxygen to the heart muscle. Reis said this was caused by a build up of cholesterol plaque or some other agent in the arteries; the latter causes hardening of the arteries). It decreases the amount of oxygen-bearing blood that reaches the heart muscle.
Younger people who have heart attacks usually have them because of congenitality or other medical conditions.

Another form of replacement valves is the tissue type, Reis said. A valve that is donated from either a human cadaver or a transplanted bone can work for some of plastic and is inserted into the heart.
The early correction is good, Reis said, because the heart won't be damaged by the stent.

heart surgery, Reis said. One is the standard cardiopulmonary bypass—the heart-lung machine. The other is deep hypothermia, where the infant's body temperature is lowered until he is in a state of suspended animation.
During the hypothermia, the heart is motionless and the circulation is at a standstill. The brain's requirement for oxygen is so that the hail in circulation is tolerable.
"Heart attacks affect men much more prominently than women in early and middle life," Reis said. "In later life, the incidence in men and women is closer."
Children also are often the victims of congenital heart malformations. Reis said there was an exciting trend toward the need to use these malformations in very early infancy.
position and blocks blood that tries to return to the heart.
Pump failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump strongly enough to send sufficient blood to the body. To treat this, Reis said, a device called an intra-aortic balloon may be inserted into an artery in the leg. The balloon then contacts the suture of the lower abdomen. The contraction of the balloon increases the amount of blood numped from the heart.
In the case of valvular heart disease, the heart's valves are unable to prevent the flow of blood back into the heart after each valve is replaced. If the heart can be replaced valve that could be used.
SURGEONS AT THE MED CENTER use a combination of approaches for infant
According to Reis, deep hypothermia was once more enthusiastically used than it is now. However, infants who were placed in deep hypothermia for long periods of time sometimes developed learning disabilities when they were older, he said.
One is a rigid ball-and-case structure made of metal and plastic cloth, Reis said. The ball is pushed to one end of the cage during a heart beat, allowing the blood to escape from the heart. When the rush of blood stops, the ball returns to its original

"The dramatic reduction in operating risk is striking," Reis said. "Routine forms of congenital malformation can now be repaired with about 100 per cent success."
DURING INFANT HEART SURGERY, Reis said, all the blood lost is continuously measured. The infant receives blood to make up for the loss.

"Sometimes a dead piece of heart muscle can balloon out from the wall and cause what is called an aneurysm," he said. "Also, a piece of dead muscle in the wall between the two pumping chambers of the heart could rupture and cause a communication between the two chambers. These can be repaired surgically."
Reis said that after a heart attack, a patient would face serious problems that could be corrected surgically.
ARRHYTHMIA IS AN ELECTRICAL disturbance in the rhythmic functioning of the heart, Reis said. It can be treated by drugs that control heart rhythm or by a pacemaker that stimulates the heart electrically.
If a patient doesn't have these complications, he may still have trouble staying alive because of either heart arrhythmia or pump failure. Reis said.
