day and few others are in uniform
and are good enough to win. But
getting away to play in golf tour
nament, once you are in the service,
is something else again.
Probably the Pinehurst show will
develop into an old-timers' parade.
Already the boys are reaching down
In the mothballs and coming UP with
such ancient names as Walter Hagen
and Jim Barnes.
1t Con Be q Fine Show
Tommy Armour. Gene sarazen,
John Farrell, Willie MacFarlane,
Witty Cox, Ed Dudley, Frank Walsh,
Harry Cooper and a few more could
hold their own against almost any
Of the youngsters, barring Hogan
and Snead. Hogan, by the way, Is
soon to be In the Army. He won
at Pinehurst last year with a record
271 for u holes. His rounds over a
par u course were 67-68-67-6e,
which is quite piece of chunking.
But Betting Ben won't be around
this year unless the top kick cuts
him loose, which probably won't
happen. e.
1t won't take anything away from
the show, nor will it depreciate the
intrinsic value Of what may be the
last big tourney for the duration to
see gents such as 41-year-old Sara
zen or 47-year-old Armour streak
ing down the stretch a stroke apart.
Indeed, It would be refreshing to
see this happen. For these men,
and many of the others, have con-
tributed something to make COM

began to realize that the competitive
side Of the game is out for the dura-
tion, and that golf as money win

Over quite q stretch of years the
bigtime golf schedule became q
major part Of the Nations sport

$50 Reported Arrested
In Plot Against Laval
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, May 12-The
Gazette de Lausanne reported here
today that $50 Frenchmen. many of
them Government officials, have
been arrested in Vichy on a charge
of plotting to overthrow Pierre La
val, chief of the French government
at Vichy.
The action by French police and
the German Gestapo was said to
have resulted from a letter sent by
Adolf Hitler to Marshal Petain, chief
of state. in which Hitler warned
him of the existence of plot aim
ing at "another December 13"-the
date in 1910 when Laval was ousted
from the government by Petain

Soviet NeuroIoqist-
Transp|ants Nerves
OF Corpses 10 Living
Russian Surgeon Finds
He Can Reclaim Parts
Of Bodies From Battles
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff CORRESPONDENT.

LONDON (By MaiD Here's
something to send chills up the
spine: Nerves taken from corpses
have been successfully transplanted
to living persons by Prof. A. S.
Vichnevsky, head of the surgica,
department of a Soviet neurological
clinic, where this innovation was
employed for the first time. Since
then it has been resorted to on
many occasions with excellent re-
suits.
"A wounded Red Army command
er recently was brought to the
clinic. His arm was severely dam
aged. A mine splinter had torn out
part of muscle and section of
the main motor nerve. AS the sew
cred ends of the nerve were ~
centinleters apart they could not be
sewn together. Ordinarily the young
man would have lost his arm.
"An operation was performed by
Dr. Vichnevsky, who used a piece
of nerve from a person killed in an
accident The transplanted nerve
success fully took root and after a
time the commander was able to use
his arm as if nothing had happened.
Today he is once more on active
service at the front.
Old Problem of Surgeons.
1.-THE problem of restoring function
to a limb when the motor nerve
has been seriously injured has long
occupied the attention of surgeons
the world over. In some countries
attempts were made to transplant
to the human body nerves removed
from animals. 1t also was proposed
to use the spinal cord of a rabbit
for this purpose. None of these
methods gave the desired results.
Or. Vichnevskys method has the
added advantage that nerves taken
from corpses, when properly treated
after removal, can be preserved for
a long time. Thus the surgeon can
be provided with complete set of
different nerves ready for use when
ever the necessity arises"
This raising story is from q
current issue of Soviet War News
issued here and made up of dis
patches from Russia and, at least
on first consideration, seems the
most fantastic of all the scientific
claims recently made from that
country. The nerves are the most
specialized, the most "alive," of al
tissues of the body and they pre-
sumably are the first to die. just
as they are the latest mechanism OF
life to be evolved.
Still Dr. Vichnevsky's proposed
nerve banks" with vaults stocked
with the nerves of dead men are
not much more fantastic today than
were the Russian blood banks of lC
years ago.
Nerve Operation Is Startling.
The nerve operation is the most
startling of more than 100 scientific
accomplishments being considered
for the Stain prizes of the Soviet
Academy of Sciences, most of them
dealing with military matters anG
hence secret.
The same DR.. Vichnevsky is cred
tied with a new process of dressing
wounds with bandages treated with
oil-balsam preparations, with bril-
liant success in promoting rapio
healing. Originally made from Pc
ruvian balsam. means have beer
found for making these prepara-
tlons from native plants.
An economy of two-thirds in the
amount Of fats required for making
soap has ben achieved by the use
OF special clay and a method OF
regenerating cotton wool is being
widely used in hospitals.

Army Will Consult
Virginia on Future
Land Acquisition
Stimson Assures Durden
State Will Have Chance
To Present Its Views
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, May 12.-Acquisi-
ton of land in Virginia by the Army
will not be undertaken in the future
without first consulting Gov. Dar-
den and the chairman of the State
Conservation Commission, Secretary
of War Stimson informed Repre-
sentative Bland, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia in letter made public here
yesterday.
Secretary Stimson wrote Mr..
Bland in response to a suggestion
from William A. Wright, chairman
OF the Conservation Commission,
who expressed concern recently re-
garding large purchases of land in
the State by the Federal Govern
ment.
Mr.. Bland forwarded the Secre-
tary's letter to Mr.. Wright. Mr..
Stlmson wrote that careful consid-
GRAFTON has been given to your sug-
gestion that before any further land
is taken for military purposes with
IN the State of Virginia the matter
should be discussed with the Gov
ernor and the chairman of the Vir-
glnla Conservation Commission.
LAS a result. I have requested that
the real estate branch of the Office
of the Chief CT Engineers, which is
charged with the acquisition of all
land for the War Department, ad-
wise the proper State authorities of
any proposed acquisition in order
that the State may have an oppor-
tunlty to present its views with re-
gard to the matter.
While it is impossible to give as
surance at this time that the War
Department will always be able to
comply with the suggestions of the
State, you may be assured that they
will be given every consideration
and that no action will be taken
without first consulting the Gov
ernor and the chairman of the State
Conservation Commission"
An estimate places the total Fed
eral acquisition of land in Virginia
at more than 100000 acres, repre-
senting approximately 8 per cent of
the States total acreage. Mr.. Wright
has expressed concern over the pos
sible loss in tax revenues by coun-
ties affected unless the Government
adopts a policy of leasing rather
than buying Virginia land.
