Thomas ’61 United Press International TORONTO — An American nursery owner who underwent a lung transplant operation be cause his lungs were rendered useless by the weed killer para quat was in critical but stable condition Monday, doctors re ported. Spokesmen at Toronto Gen eral Hospital where the 6'/a hour operation was done overnight Sunday said James Franzen of Marietta, Ga., was attached to an artificial lung as a precaution, but his new lung was “function ing very well.” Authorities said they were very optimistic for Franzen’s survival. His condition was de scribed as “unchanged — critical but stable.” Franzen, 31, a nursery own er, lost use of his own lungs after exposure to the herbicide para quat. The donor lung, the object of a continent-wide search last week, was obtained from the body of Dennis Blakely, 25, of Decatur, Ga., by ironic coinci dence a resident of Franzen’s home state. Blakely was accidentally shot in the head Friday while sitting in a car listening to a baseball ^ame on the radio. His body was flown to Toronto late Saturday where a 30-member medical team was assembled to make the transfer. The donor’s kidneys were also removed and sent back to the United States for trans plantation. “I know it was the right deci sion,” said Ruth Blakely, the donor’s mother. “We just hope that if anything good could come out of such a senseless tragedy, we could make it happen.” None of the 38 previous reci pients of lung transplants is liv ing. The Toronto hospital, the only center in North Ament with the facilities to performili sort of operation Franzen it quired, has performed one vious lung transplant in 1911 The patient survived ISdaysilj ter surgery.

John Paul’s trip Sunday was the first official visit by a pope to San Marino, the 23-square mile country nestled atop Mount Titano in northeast Italy. The republic, with about 21,000 residents, was founded in 301 A.D. by St. Marinus, a Balkan stonecutter, as a refuge for Christians fleeing persecu tion by the Roman emperor Dio cletian. Like the Vatican, which at 108 acres ranks among the world’s smallest sovereign states, San Marino derives a good part of its revenues from tourism and C it Ui LOh nto thi Is agii import postage stamps. Like the Vatican, San Marino has a tiny, colorfully dressed ceremonial security forces — the 200-man Grand Council Guard. But for the papal visit, the re public called in about 300 Italian paramilitary police to help pro vide protection. John Paul drew prolonged fhly patrio- Jc applause from the highly patrio tic residents of the city-siaS when, on arriving by helicopiti he kissed the ground ashedos whenever he visitsijj^l country.
