The vote Doctor Used Resembling Piece Of Metal TORONTO (CP) --An instru- ment resembling a piece of scrap metal was one of Dr. Gor- don Murray's final require- ments in a long process of dis- covering a way to rejoin a sev- ered spinal cord in humans. The 73-year-old Toronto sur- geon needed an instrument which didn't exist--one which would curve deep into the spinal column where the damaged part of the cord had to be cut out. It had never been needed be- fore because medical textbooks said--and surgeons believed-- that a severed spinal cord This week Dr. Murray proved them wrong when Bertrand Proulx, a 24-year-old Quebec truck driver paralysed in a minor car accident four years ago, slipped off his hospital bed and stood before a formal din- ner of the Toronto East General Hospital. Before an operation per- formed by Dr. Murray, Proulx had no use of his limbs from the shoulders down. His spinal cord had been severed in the acci- dent. It took Dr. Murray eight years of laboratory research to make: his discovery. Dr. Murray's problem was finding a way to hold the ends Instrument | by removing a section of bone, shortening the spinal column. This is where the new instru- ment, which he developed with medical engineer Ross Mc- Kenzie in the anatomy depart- ment, entered the picture. It was needed to get deep into the hole to cut away scar tissue which had formed on the dam- aged part of the cord. Dr. Murray said determining how much of the spinal cord had to be removed was tricky. KEPT ON SLICING Working witlf technician Bill Anderson, he sliced bits of the cord and gave them to Ander- son for testing. If they were not alive and active, he kept slicing until he reached good tissue.

Prime Minister Pearson spoke strongly in support of the bill but it did not come to a vote on second reading as expected, State Secretary WLaMarsh said time is running out for the CBC to prove to Cana- dians. it is worth the millions of tax dollars spent on it. Provincial Treasurer Mac- Naughton of Ontario called for a further postponement of the medical care insurance pro- gram, reporting most proy- inces support him. Agriculture Minister Greene announced the government is taking action under the Cus- toms Act to protect Canadian turkey producers against be- low-cost U.S. imports. External Affairs Minister Martin announced a new divi- sion in his department to deal with Canadian relations with French-speaking countries in Africa and Asia. agreement that was to have brought an abolitionist bill to a Commons vote Thursday night. Mr. Pearson was to have closed the five-day debate but his remark brought a flock of retentionists to their feet either to protest his remarks or to re- view the arguments. They were led by David Ful- ton (PC--Kamloops), the for- jmer justice minister, who said the prime minister had made "a maudlin appeal to emotion." "Our case, and the moral jus- tification of it, is equally good if not better than the prime minis- ter's,"" Mr. Fulton said. Nevertheless, a test vote on a {surprise motion by Georges Lachance (L--Montreal Lafon- taine) that would have killed jthe bill was easily defeated 125 mt ! wu {to 76.

The highlights in its fifth day of debate were the 32-minute Pearson speech--a_ whole- hearted rejection of capital pun- ishment--and a passionate de- fence of the gallows by Ralph Cowan (L--York-Humber). Mr. Pearson said retentionists had been unable to prove the deterrent value of the death penalty and had to fall back on emotional arguments. Through execution of murder- ers, society fell into the trap of treating them as they had their victims. And no murder ever matched the horror of capital punishment.
