Karp dies when human heart fails
HOUSTON (UPI) - Haskell Karp, the first person ever to rest his hopes for life on a manmade heart, died yesterday of complications resulting from the pioneer surgery.
Karp lived for three days with a dacron and plastic heart pumping blood through his body, but then his request to "live like a man" with a human heart was granted when the artificial organ was replaced with that of a Massachusetts woman.
Doctors, however, found a "patch of pneumonia" on Karp's right lung early yesterday and less than 16 hours later he was dead.
Although the official cause of death would not be known until an autopsy, a spokesman at St. Luke's Hospital said death apparently was due to rejection complicated by pneumonia and kidney failure.
Dr. Denton Cooley, who implanted the artificial heart in Karp's chest last Friday and the human heart on Monday, said minor liver and kidney damage had appeared while Karp was surviving on the plastic heart.
Cooley, however, did not seem concerned about the liver and kidney damage at the time.

Each, in different words, suggested the same solution—a sincere search for peace.
went into business sessions in the White House, the two men conceded the situation in the Middle East is "explosive" and if unsolved, could lead to serious involvement of the rest of the world.
Nixon, in greeting the king at the start of a three-day Washington visit, said he looked forward to their conversations in the hope they might arrive at "new avenues that could lead to permanent peace in that troubled part of the world, the Middle East."
The Israelis contend that Arab terrorists are using bases in Jordan for their penetrations of Israel.
considerable number of Iraqi troops are still on Jordanian soil, ostensibly to help Hussein defend himself against any Israeli attacks.
Hussein, who has received military aid from both the United States and Britain in the past, has always had to walk a diplomatic tight-rope in the area. His grandfather was killed by an Arab terrorist who felt that he was taking too moderate a position on affairs in the region.
Hussein commented: "Within the very near future we can either move toward our objective, a just and honorable peace, or we might lose the opportunity to establish peace, a just and lasting peace there.
Rogers Monday described Hussein as a "close friend of the United States for many years" declaring that Hussein has "played a major and constructive role in the search for peace in the Middle East."
"A situation as explosive as it is holds many dangers, not only to those involved in the area but to the world as a whole."
The President noted the "explosive situation" between Israel and the Arab world and said a solution requires "leadership from within" which would be marked by three qualities, "courage, wisdom and moderation."
He said his conferences with Hussein would attempt "to find new avenues that could lead to peace."
"We in this country have seen in you those qualities," Nixon told Hussein. "You have been a man of courage, of wisdom, of moderation."

Hussein, who lost much of his territory to the Israelis during the June 1967 war, is highly regarded here. Officials recognize, however, that his room for maneuvering in the explosive Middle East crisis is limited by pressures from his powerful fellow Arabs. A
