New livers fail; patients die
DENVER—(UPI)—Two young liver transplant patients died within 27 hours of one another at Colorado General Hospital over the weekend, leaving two other children the only known survivors of the rare operation.
A hospital spokesman identified the two victims as Kerri Lynn Brown, 18 months, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dale L. Brown of Long Beach, Calif., and Candy Barbaree, 19 months, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Barbaree of Orlando, Fla.
Kerri, who died Saturday, underwent a liver transplant operation Sept. 5. She was born with a malformed bile duct system
which made death inevitable without a transplant. Doctors said a preliminary examination indicated death was caused by liver abcesses and probably chronic rejection of the transplanted organ.
Candy, who received a new liver Nov. 25, died Friday at the hospital.
The two victims were among six children who received a new anti-rejection agent, anti-lymphocyte globulin, in undergoing the liver transplant operations.
The serum enabled physicians to use much smaller doses of the potentially lethal anti-rejection drugs. Without the drugs, the body would automatically reject
any foreign tissue, such as a new liver.
The only remaining transplant survivors are Julie Cherie Rodriguez, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Rodriguez of Pueblo, Colo, and Randall Wayne Bennett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth W. Bennett of Mesquite, Tex. Both are two years old.

Demo factions call names on eve of primary election
CONCORD, N.H. — (UPI) — Name-calling between Democratic factions for and against President Johnson reached the shrill stage today on the eve of New Hampshire's presidential primaries. Even the frontrunning Republican, Richard M. Nixon, joined in scolding critics of Johnson's challenger, Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy of Minnesota.
New Hampshire holds the nation's first 1968 presidential primaries Tuesday. Both parties have contests being watched by political leaders in all states.
On the Democratic side, President Johnson is favored to win as a write-in candidate over McCarthy, who is on the ballot and running against Johnson administration policy in Vietnam.
On the Republican side, former Vice President Nixon is on the ballot and is viewed as a sure winner over Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, who has a write-in campaign going for him.
But a good showing by Rockefeller should propel him still closer to becoming an active candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
He took another step in that direction Sunday at a conference in his New York apartment with about 30 friendly Republicans, who reported "strong sentiment" that Rockefeller should become a declared and active candidate. While there was motion among the Republicans, there was a noisy row among the Democrats.
