Four Patients Lose
Part of Their Brains
Without Ill Effect
Resection of Cerebral
Lobes. Achieved by
Yale Surgeons.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, December %
Results of study showing that large
parts of the human brain can be re-
moved without seriously handicapping
the normal pursuits of an individual
were announced today at Yale.
Several members of the staff at the
Yale School of Medicine participated
in the study. which included the test
ing of speech mechanisms, ability to
perform acts of skill, eye movements
and intelligence of persons who had un-
dergone such operations.
The results of the study were included
in a paper which was to be presented
today before the Association for Re-
search in Nervous and Mental Disease
in New York by DR.. William German
assistant professor of surgery. and Dr.
James C. Fox, associate clinical pro-
fessor of neurology.
Operations Described.
Operations performed in New Haven
for the removal of brain tumOrS in four
patients served as the basis for the study
of the effect of resection of cerebral
lobes. In two cases the right frontal
lobe controlling the action of the left
hand was removed almost entirely. In
a third case the occipital lobe (pos-
terior) was partly removed. and in the
fourth case the temporal lobe below the
occipita1 lobe was partly taken out.
The university reported that while
these operations were not unusual. they
were among the first which were fol-
lowed by detailed scientific analyses
of the after effects.
Some of the conclusions derived from
the study were:
Removal of the large portion Of the
right frontal non-dominant lobe did
not materially affect the movements or
the intelligence of the individual
Removal of the dominant lobe. how
ever. affected the ability of the patient
to form words, but did not affect the
comprehension of the meaning of words
The temporal lobe is concerned with
more complicated functions and its re-
noval interferes with Interpretation OF
words and with mental associations.
Four Patients Recover.
Removal of the occipital lobe inter-
feres especially with functions such as
reading and writing which depends on
the more involved visual stimuli. The
individual recognizes objects. but can
not readily call them by name.
The study confirmed current scien-
tific belief that intelligence is not To-
Gated in any one part of the brain. The
observations, the university reported
also indicated the functions OF the
frontal dominant lobe can be shifted
through proper training to the non-
dominant lobe.
The four patients operated on recov-
cred and were able to continue their
daily activities to a considerable extent
The study, it is thought. may prove
significant in developing methods ol
diagnosing and locating brain lesions'

naturally regarded him as an

snorted at his aspirations. But,

the day.

Whereupon, there was a great

bars to celebrate his victory, in
which the new county attorney
joined enthusiastically. But,
having done SO, he proceeded to
get professional - pronto, and
plenty!
The saloon keepers had elected
him, but neither they nor any
other outfit were going to own

He proceeded to make one now.

cough, shaking the lean young
body. Still no definite chance
ahead. But
He wanted-out!
And he made-out! Made 1t by
another one of those catch-as-
catch-can opportunities.
He was 20. BY dint of playing
semi-pro baseball and doing odd
jobs he had acquired enough cash
to accumulate enough law to pass
the not too exacting bar exams of
that day. He was rarin' to go,
but his youth still held him back.
He wouldn't legally be a man for
another year.
He Was "SOme COnvincer"
There was, however, a special
Texas statute under which a
minor might "have his disabilities
removed" If he could convince
the county court that he had the
qualifications necessary for full
fledged citizenship. AS a con-
vincer, young Jack Garner had
unique talents. Why let a little
matter like IL months stand in
his way if he could talk himself

He could-and did.

Day after day he fought on,

week his stiff, chapped fingers

of freedom.
One day he took off his chaps

changed into his badly cut best

had wanted-out. He was going

border, but the border was a long
way off-too far for limping feet
and tagging imaginations to
reach. Easier to stay on the land,
serving the soil. Most Of them
stayed.
Jack Garner stayed, for a
while; stayed and did the things
his fathers had done before him.
Dug, yanked. pounded a living
out Of the soil. Ploughed, sowed,
reaped, salted stock, branded
calves, strung and rode scores
of miles of fence line. Rooted
himself with his crops, deeper
and deeper into the soil.
Began to Get Ideas
Then, having gotten root, he
began to head up and out. Be-
gan to get ideas.
Ideas? What use were they on
wilderness acres? Not much use
If he was going to stay on wilder
ness acres. But was he?
The old, old question that
every boys asks OF life!
Slowly, as he rode miles OF
barbed wire fence under the
blazing sun, as he ploughed miles
of earth under the stinging cold,
young John Garner began to
question life; began to bargain
with life.
A raw boy in a raw land; q
pennileSS boy, without power or
place. Nothing to bargain with
except his bare fists and that
notion sprouting in his brain.
But he bargained! AS he had
dug and pounded and yanked a
living out of bare, barren soil,
so now he began to dig and
pound and yank a career out of
thin air.
