DeBakey, 52, president ov Baylor College of Medicine, can mix a friendly smile with sharp words and has been described by acquaintances as a man in a hurry. Cooley, 48, a member of the Baylor faculty and also head of surgery at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, is quiet, soft-spoken and easygoing.

They have worked together for years with a common objective of prolonging life. If ever a word of bitterness has developed between them, they kept it to themselves. Cooley performed the first of his 19 heart transplants last May 3. DeBakey performed his first of 10 on Aug. 31.

PRESCRIPTIONS Trust Ui Yith Your Prescriptions HUNDREDS DO. WE DELIVER PHONE 2-8351 cademy By MAX B. SKELTON Associated Press Writer HOUSTON, Tex. (AP) A professional conflict has developed between the two men who have performed more heart transplants than anyone else in the world. Dr.

Michael E. DeBakey has asked an official inquiry into an operation by Dr. Denton A. Cooley making use of an artificial heart to save a patient until a human heart donor could be found. The patient, Haskell Karp, 47, of Skokie, 111., lived 65 hours with the mechanical device substituting for his own heart, but died after a human heart was implanted in his chest.

Death was attributed to pneumonia. In Washington, officials of the National Heart Institute, which distributes federal funds for artificial heart research, said Thursday Dr. DeBakey had advised them that the device Cooley used probably was made in DeBakey's Baylor College of Medicine laboratory. Research there was financed with government money and the use of devices developed in the laboratory would thus be subject to federal guidelines on testing. An institute spokesman said DeBakey had asked the institute to send him a letter requesting an investigation and had promised "I'll get the facts." Cooley told newsmen in Baltimore this was news to him.

Cooley said work on the device he used had no connection with research being done at Baylor. The funds came from private sources, he said. "I believe I am qualified on what is right and proper to do for my patient," Cooley said. "The decisions are made by me with the permission of the patients. "I don't see how I violated any government regulations This is not the time for a witch hunt but the time to proceed with the knowledge we have gained." I 'if I 1 MRS.

At this time there are 54 private schools in the state with an. enrollment of approximately 7,000. "Since our classes are limited to 20, each student receives individual attention needs.

Our teachers are qualified and eager to help each student develop to the utmost. Next year we will offer education in grades one through 11 and if the demand is such, we will include the 12th grade. During the summer two new classrooms will be added. One of these will be a completely equipped science labatory for chemistry, physics and biology. We invite parents who are concerned about education to visit our school and take advantage of quality education, for their children.

(AP)-The Delta Resource Development Center says a reduction in federal and private funds will force it to cut back its planned manpower training program.

Officials of the project, established to train displaced farm workers, said Thursday they had expected to obtain $1 million in Ford Foundation funds for the remainder of the year, to be used in obtaining federal funds. Dr. P. Bankston, associate director of the state Research and Development Center, and Travis McCharen, director of vocational rehabilitation work for the state Department of Education, said a reduction in the federal budget reduced the amount of available federal funds, and the Ford Foundation grant was cut to $700,000.

"Ths type of teaching philosophy, was used in the eight and ninth grades. As a result of studies of the Hamil-tonian and Jeffersonian theories of government, the students engaged in a mock trial right in challenging Hamilton to a duel."
