Cartilage Hastens Healing Os Wounds Fascinating Puzzle Os Body Chemistry By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor NEW YORK (UP)—lt has been conclusively 7 proven that cartilage contains a substance or substances

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

which hasten the heeling of wounds, and that is news in a world with an abundance of cartilage and lots of wounds in need of faster healing. Hie proof presents a fascinating puzzle of body chemistry. In the embryo, the skeleton largely is formed of that tough, elastic tissue, cartilage. Much of it is converted into bone but plenty remains. Yet it has shown that bone, in the form of flour, doesn’t help wounds to heal. Hie phenomenon had been suspected. In exhaustive experiments with rats, Dr. John F Prudden, Dr. Gentaro Nishihara and Lester Baker of Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons proved that it exists and the effect is consistent. Experiment On Rats They made abdominal surgical wounds in the rats. All wounds were closed by sewing in the usual way. Some were left to heal unaided. Some were sprinkled, bebefore sewing, with ground-up cattle cartilage. Others were sprinkled with bone flour, with talcum powder, and with gelatin because gelatin comes from boiling animal bone and cartilage. Seven days after the wounds were made, the degree of healing was measured by measuring the tensile strength of the wounds. The wounds which had had the cartilage powder put into them were much stronger than those which had had nothing added. Those which had had gelatin or talcum powder added were less strong. Reporting to an audience with a special interest in the subject — the fellows of the American College of Surgeons — the experimenters specified they didn’t know what there is in cartilage which brought about the result, but they were trying to find out Counter-acts Hormone An interesting point was that whatever the substance is, it seems to counter-act the effect of a hormone of the adrenal glands which slows the formation of the fibrous materials which heal wounds. They tried several of the chemical compounds known to be present in cartilage and found they did nothing to the adrenal chemical. So it has to be accepted “for the present” that “the active repair stimulating fraction of cartilage is as yet unseparated and uncharacterized.” They demonstrated that powdered cattle cartilage works on rats. The next step is to see if it works on other animals and then, in people. Technically the rat surgery was no different than abdominal surgery on human beings. There was the same care that body chemistry was in balance and that nutrition was proper, the same pre-op-eration and post-operation attention. The experimenters pointed out that under these ‘normal” circumstances, no other substance Was been shown to produce such an effect on wound healing. Texas produced 960 million pounds of carbon black, valued at 68 million dollars in 1956.

U.S. Pushing Plans For New H-Bomb Tests Government Hints At New Defense On Attack By Missile WASHINGTON (UP)—The United States pushed plans today for new H-bomE tests next spring and offered to let the world come see how “clean” the dreaded hydrogen bomb can be. A government announcement of the tests also hinted at development of new means of defense against any Soviet intercontinental missile attack, but did not elaborate. Underscoring the failure of recent disarmament talks, the Atomic Energy Commission and Defense Department announced jointly yesterday a new test series will be held beginning next April at the Eniwetok proving grounds in the Pacific Russia Also Testing While the announcement specified only “nuclear” tests. Eniwetok is used almost entirely for Hbomb explosions. Tests with less potent atomic weapons are currently being conducted at the Nevada proving, grounds here in the United States. Russia also is currently conducting tests. Whether they are atomic or hydrogen bombs has not been divulged. The U.S. announcement said preparations for the new series are underlay "in the absence of a safeguarded disarmament agreement.” It noted this country “repeatedly has stated its willingness to suspend nuclear tests as part of a disarmament agreement.” But it said until such agreement is reached “continued development of nuclear weapons is essential to the defense of the United States and of the free world.” Widesrpead Fear of Test Mindful of widespread fears of H-bomb tests, the announcement said they will be governed by this county’s Bermuda promise of last March to conduct tests “only in such a manner as will keep world radiation from rising to more than a small fraction” of possibly dangerous levels. It said “an important objective” will be “the further development of nuclear weapons with greatly reduced radioactive fallout so that radiation hazard may be restricted to the military target,” President Eisenhower and US. atomic officials have stressed this country’s emphasis on developing a “clean” bomb that would not spew its deadly fallout on vast numbers of civilians far from military objectives. Eisenhower told a news conference June 26 that U.S. scientists had told him they could make a bomb with 96 per cent less fallout than the big “dirty’’ H-bomb of 1954. He said they believed they could produce an “absolutely clean” bomb with 4 or 5 years more for testing. The cash received by producers in California for all milk and cream sold during 1956 amounted to approximately 330 million dollars. This was equivalent to about 12 per cent of the total received for all farm products produced in the state.

Police believe the brothers’ father, Michael, 58, joined them at their hideaway. Murder Their Hostage The brothers decided to make a break for it Saturday night, but their car ran out of gas near Anoka, Minn. One brother hiked up the road for gas and was picked 'up by two deputy sheriffs. When the deputies returned with the brother, the others started shooting, wounding Deputy James Samson. The three brothers dashed to a nearby farmhouse where they forced Eugene Lindgren, 31, to accompany them as a hostage. They forced him to drive about while police planes hovered overhead and squad cars followed. When police cornered them, one of the brothers placed a gun against Lindgren’s head and pulled the trigger, killing him lyA highway patrolman promptly cut down Roger and Ronald with a single shotgun blast. James fled to a clump of willows and shot himself in the chest. A -sister of the bandits, Joyce O’Kasick, 19, escaped last week from the women’s state reformatory at Shakopee, Minn., where she was serving a term for forgery She was arrested Saturday night when she stormed into the hospital demanding to see her brother James.

INSTALLERS _ (Coittlfrued from One) of long distance operators appear for work across the country throughout the' day. A full shift of long lines employes went to work just before pickets appeared at the Southwestern Bell Telephone offices in Kansas City, insuring long distance service there through the early afternoon. Another Strike Averted Operators were reported to be observing picket lines in Minneapolis. Duluth and St. Paul, Minn., Nashville, Tenn., Philadelphia, Hartford, Conn., Charleston. W. Va., Atlanta, Ga., Detroit, Mich., Passaic, N.J, and many other cities. Independent switchboard operators in Maryland and Connecticut were ignoring the strike, and Upstate New York appeared to be unaffectedA parallel strike, also scheduled when agreement was reached between the CWA and Western Electric on a contract covering 10,000 distribution and warehouse employes. The two-year pact, affecting employes in 31 distributing centers across the country, provides for a 6-to-12 cent hourly wage hike and improved holiday benefits. The contract, which must be ratified within the next three weeks, also provides for a re-opening clause at the end of the first year for discussions on wages and vacations. Both the CWA and Western Electric made concessions during 11th hour negotiations Sunday and early today, presided over by Federal Mediator Walter Maggiolo.
