MAN LIVES 6 WEEKS
WITH CHIMP KIDNEYS
NEW ORLEANS - A 44 yr.
old Negro, Jefferson Davis, a
dock worker, has lived over six
weeks with a transplant of chim
panzee kidneys. The successful
feat was accomplished by sur
geons at Tulane University Hos
pital.
Davis is reported in good con
dition, he is the second person
ever to receive kidneys from a
chimp or similar animal. He is
the first to recover enough to
leave the hospital.
Davis had suffered from a
chronic kidney ailment for six
years, and recently he became
worse. Doctors first used an arti
ficial kidney treatment and finally
the transplant.
The patient agreed to the oper
ation saying he knew it was a
gamble. Doctors caution they do
not know how long he can survive.
Kidneys were removed from a
90 pound chimpanzee and insert
ed under the skin on Davis’ right
side. His own kidneys remained
in place. Dr. Keith Reemtsma
said the operation took 39 min
utes.

AFRICANS
RIOT IN MOSCOW
MOSCOW-More than 500 angry
African students rioted in the
Soviet capital, protesting the
death of medical student from
Ghana. They pushed past barri
cades in Red Square shouting
and carrying placards. One read
"Russie was a second Alabama."
Police finally halted the en
raged students outside the gate
of the Kremlin and education
minister Vyachselav Yelutin lis
tened to them.
African spokesmen said a
Ghanian Asare Addo, 23, was
stabbed to death by a Russian
last Friday. The delegates of the
African students said officials
said Addo froze to death, but
this was not believed.
There are approximately 7,000
students from various African
and Asian nations studying in
Russia, most of them in Mos
cow.
