Corneas From Eyes Of Dead Priest
(N.Z Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 8.30 p.m.) MILAN, March 5. The corneas from a dead priest's eyes were making good progress in the blind eyes of the two warmaimed Italian children to which they were grafted last Wednesday, but it was still too early to say if the children would see again, the specialist who made the grafts, Professor Cesare Galeazzi, said today In Milan. The priest, Father Carlo Gnocchi, died of cancer last Tuesday. He bequeathed his eyes to two children in the institute he had founded for the care of war-maimed children, and of infantile paralysis victims.
