New Operations in
tuberculosis Told
Surgeons Now Remove Small
Pieces Of Lungs.

JEW YORK. - DR.. Richard H.
Overholt of Tufts medical school,
Medford, Mass, has described to the
American College of Surgeons, some
new operations for tuberculosis.
This surgery not only removes en-
tire lungs, which is not new, but
lobes of lungs and even parts OF
lobes. This ability to take out small
pieces of lung is one new develop
ment.
There are frye lobes in lungs,
three in the right lung, two in the
left. Each is a virtually ~independ-
ent section with its wv air and ar
terry blood supply.
Overholt said the surgery is use
full in cases where all other forms
of tuberculosis treatment fail. He
said the risk of removing either 3
lobe or an entire lung has been so
reduced by surgical progress of re-
cent years that the dangers in the
operations for tuberculosis are only
a fraction of the perils of the dis
ease itself. He said enough cases
have been done to show that health
can be restored.
Entire lungs were removed for
the first time a few years ago for
cancer.
A prediction that the number OF
surgical operations will decrease
soon in a variety Of diseases was
made by DR.. Jacob j. Golub of New
York.
He said those will be the diseases
that can be better cured by pre-
ventive medicine, and by remedies
from atomic ovens, from radioac-
tive rays, hormones and antibiot-
les. The latter is a new name IN
medicine describing remedies such
as penicillin and streptomycin that
come from germs and molds.
Golub, however, said the total
number of surgical operations is
likely to increase, as there will be
more of the accidents and other ills
that surgery helps.

Vets Are Best Students,
College Survey Indicates

EVANSTON, ILL. - Veterans
who were freshmen last year at
Northwestern university made
slightly, though significantly,
higher grades than non-veterans
in the class, according to a study
recently completed.
The research was done by
E. L. Clark, associate professor
of psychology. He selected 562
ex-servicemen and 272 non-veter-
ans having equal potentialities as
students.
His work disclosed that veter-
ans were a little better motivated
but worked harder to succeed.
Their grades averaged 81 per
cent over men who were not in
service.
Non-veterans were better pre-
pared to succeed in college. They
entered with more academic
credits and were "a months
younger.

Miners Verify Report
OF Arctic Gold Strike

FORT ST. JOHN, B. C.-The Ca
madam press said that prospectors
of the Far North had a fabulous
story of new riches, of solid gold
nuggets found on the Firth river in
the western arctic, 400 miles north
of Dawson City, Yukon.
Eskimo hunters brought word of
the find, due north of the stored
Klondike gold fields, to Aklavik dur
ing the summer, and Ernest Max
well, a Yellowknife mining engi-
neer, who made a dangerous plane
flight, has returned to verify the re-
ports.
Eskimos told of finding solid gold
nuggets, worth more than 500
apiece, along the river banks, and
Maxwell said he washed gold along
the Firth and its tributaries.
The Firth arises in the extreme
northeastern part of Alaska, crosses
the boundary into Yukon territory
and flows into the Arctic pecan. It
is in forbidding country where game
is scarce.

the two children, because their tu- berculosis was discovered early and the treatment begun prompt ly, will soon be well and strong again.
 This young man was most anx- ious that his story be told in the hope thatit might help acquaint the public with the value of K rays. He knows that it is possible to look and feel quite healthy and still have the disease in its early stages.
 The only way tuberculosis can be discovered in the early stages is by x-raying apparently healthy people. On can look perfectly healthy and still have tuberculo- sis.
 For this reason, everyone in the Nome area should take advantage of the opportunity of safeguarding their health by having free K ray when the mass survey con- ducted by the Territorial Depart ment of Health begins here. The survey is being conducted in an attempt to cut the incidence of tuberculosis in the Territory.
 The canvassers have about com pleted their work and cards Wil soon be distributed to everyone l giving the exact time of appoint ment. Everyone is urged to keer appointments promptly and save time.

TBl CONTkOL DEfEND' ON EARLY X-RAY {. EXAMINATION

Tuberculosis is no respecter of persons. It is not inherited but is passed from one person to an- other. Most dangerous is the per son having active tuberculosis who is in continuous contact with a healthy person, according to of- ficials of the Territorial Depart ment of Health, who are conduct ing the free mass x-ray survey here beginning September 29.
 A tuberculosis parent is almost sure to infect one or more mem bers of his family. This is the story of Sgt. Tom Reynolds, now taking the "rest cure" in a sanatorium in Washington.
 As a sergeant in the U. s. army air corps, Tom was sent to Ger many and was shot down over Nuremburg. He spent the rest of the war in a German prison camp. He developed tuberculosis. The small amount of treatment he re- ceived was ineffective. One does not get rest, sunshine, proper diet and fresh air in a German prison camp.
 After VIE day, he was sent to a veterans sanatorium in the States where he received treatment and later returned to Alaska. Thinking he was past the infectious stage he visited his family. When it was discovered that his case was still active, his family was x-rayed i'm mediately. Two children had to be sent to the sanatorium.

Truman To Face Difficult Decision On Return

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman is due home from Rio this week to face what may be one of the most difficult decisions of his administration whether there should be a special session of Congress to provide emergency aid for Europe.
 The chief executives top advis- CTS appear to be split on the sub ject.
 Secretary of State Marshall, now in New York for the United Nations assembly meeting, is ex- pected to return as soon as poSsi- ble after MT. Truman arrives on Saturday to present the state de- partment's case in favor of a spe- cial session call.
 Opponents of the state depart ment's view have been less out spoken than Marshall and under secretary Lovett but word from administration officials indicates that two arguments may be ad- vanced:
 1. That the European nations probably can pull through on their own until the Marshall plan long-range recovery program car be put into effect next year and,
 2. That it would be potentially dangerous move for the Presiden to make for domestic political req sons.
