Milk Rationing Near

Producer Declares
Ea the Associated Press

E4 the Associated Press
Ken Geyer, Hartford Conn. man
ager Of the Connecticut Milk Pro-
ducers' Association, predicted today
that coupon rationing of milk will
have to be instituted soon unless
Congress or Government price con-
troll agencies raise dairy prices to
encourage production.
And when milk rationing comes,
it may be the straw that breaks the
camels back, and breaks down the
Governments whole rationing sys-
TAM" Mr.. Geyer told the Senate
Agriculture Committee.
People won't accept milk ration
ing as they have the rationing OF
meat, for instance" he continued.
It's too vital to their everyday diet. "
Testifying in favor of the East
land-McClellan' bill calling for an
immediate 1-cent-a-quart milk price
increase throughout the country,
Mr.. Geyer said production of milk
in Connecticut had dropped 329
per cent since mid-June, and that
further sharp slump is in prospect
in 1914 unless prices are adjusted
to cover higher production costs.
Mr.. Geyer said Price Admins
traitor Chester A. BoWles had con-
ceded the need for milk price
increase while he was Connecticut
OPA administrator earlier this year

Science Editor. The American Weekly.
TANKS Of frozen dried nerves--a stock of
* assorted sized replacement parts for
- shattered severed nerve fbers in the
human body--are now proposed by the noted
Chicago neurologist, Or. Paul Weiss.
Just as the Red Cross blood banks save
thousands OF lives by supplying emergency
fluids 10 the body when needed, so would the
nerve banks save many unfortunate people
from "FHtime Of paralysis; paralysis from
muscles that - move because the brains
messages cannot reacn ~ over severed
nerves.
Or. Weiss professor Of physiology at the
University of Chicago. already has animal
nerve banks In his laboratory. BY long and
successful experiments he has proved that
nerves be frozen dried and stored for
future use
When Professor Weiss proposal is adopted
for human use you may some day be able 70
hear nerve surgeon say in the operating
room:
cut me half-inch Of gauge 90 nerve
please And about an inch of artery tubing
one millimeter bore"
The surgeon will simply be performing
nerve graft operation and splicing in a bit of
precious nerve tissue, just as calmly as a
telephone lineman might restore the broken
gap in a telephone wire.
Because OF the war ana the flSk or severed
nerves in otherwise quick healing flesh
wounds Professor Weiss experiments take on
even greater meaning than ever before. In
fact, his newest researches are being carried
out through grants Of funds from the medical
committee of the Office Of Scientific Research
and Development.
You have never heard Of the O. S. r. D.?
Few people have.
1t is one of the most secret hush-hush
agencies OF the war. o. s. r. d. helped
develop Radar and it is doing highly secret
and important scientific Investigations in the
war effort
In recent report to the Society Of Expert
mental Biology and Medicine with Or. A. Cecil
Taylor Professor Weiss shows that the stor-
age of nerve fibers in his nerve banks does
not harm the self-regeneration power of the
nerve tissue He says:
THE fitness Of devitalized nerve as graft
material brings the supply problem of nerve
grating nearer to solution. Banks Of assorted
nerve sizes stored in a dry condition could
readily fill a steady demand"
Neither Professor Weiss nor any Of the
experiments are designed for use on returning
soldiers and sailors. They just won't talk.
But II is a pretty safe bet that American
scientific war research isn't spending its
money just TO do experiments to help labora-
tory rabbits
If things work out as one would hope then
many returning wounded veteran is going
to owe the normal use Of his arm or his leg
to nerve grating. And Professor Weiss
bunnies will have paved the way.

best regeneration occurs with a tiny gap in
between about three millimeters or less. If
the gap is protected by the artery tubing re-
generation progresses swiftly.
Nerve regeneration seldom forms a union
that is as strong, physically as the original
unbroken nerve fiber But the new growth
does its job well Of carrying the messages that
make the paralyzed muscles move. In this
respect the regenerated nerves are like tele-
phone wires which need not be strong phys-
cally 10, carry the electrical messages.
The only reason for having heavy wires in
some electrical circuits is where large electric
currents are to be carried for then short
circuits might occur
While nerve impulses the commands of
your brain that tell your muscles TO move
are electrical too, they are never large enough
TO cauSe short-CircuitS
Nerves in animals and in try des-
peratcly 10 regeueratc themselves whenever
possible. Strangely. the proper nerves always
Detroit evening times., 1943-08-15

seem TO try TO link up with the proper muscle
which they would control.
In some OF his experiments with tadpoles
Professor Weiss transplanted bits of brain
tissue 10 the back fin of the tadpoe Near
the nerve tissue he also transplanted de-
veloping tadpole leg.
Nerve connections grew out of the brain
tissue and grew until they reached the leg
In some cases these regenerated nerves made
the leg novel
Depending on just where the leg was
transplanted. the nerves grew accordingly.
If the leg was placed ahead of the back
fin the nerves grew that way If the leg
was behind the back fin the nerves grew that
way.
1t seemed almost as if there was some sort
of attraction" between the growing nerve
and the muscle it was designed to control.
In fact nerve specialists have been argu-
ing for years over whether nerve regeneration
and growth is an attractive process or whether
it is growth following surface patterns. Lat
est thinking favors the surface contact growth
Indeed Professor Weiss uses his tiny arteries
as a channel for the nerve rebuilding.
It takes no master mind to realize that
nerve operations are of the utmost value in
restoring injured soldiers TO a normal life in
later years, for wounds are no respectors OF
persons parts of the body. Severed nerves
are all-too-common sequel to mere flesh
wound.
But beyond wartime uses nerve grating
has important peacetime application.
one great uneXploited field of nerve graft
ing is for infantile paralysis.
The paralysis Of polio is Of two types One
kind fortunately the most common, is due to
muscle spasm. AS soon as some treatment
like that of Sister Kenny can be used most of
this kind of paralysis can be overcome.
But the second type of paralysis from polio
may arise if the nerves are destroyed over a
nerve pathway. Then all the heat treatment
in the world, or muscular re-education. will
not help.
Only nerve operation. restoring a new
piece Of fiber for the stricken nerve can bring
aid 70 these cases. All too infrequentlv
has this method so far been tried for polio
victims.
The usual method now is to tell the patients
what has happened and give them braces for
stricken legs or arms Sometimes surgical
operations on the muscles transplant them
slightly and make less important muscles do
more vital tasks. This is valuable work but
does not attack the real heart Of the prob
lem.
The ideal solution would be TO transplant
new tissue for the nerves that have been de-
stroycd Nv
The new work on nerve regeneration which
will come out OF this war, will provide sur
geons with vast amount Of experiment and
case histories which will govern peacetime
treatments in the days to come.
War is hell as everyone knows but II a
superior nerve operation for polio victims
could come out Of IT, that would be one tiny
silver lining on the black cloud OF Mars.
