Surgery Technique
Will Aid Amputees
Severed Limbs Are Restored by
Use Of Refrigeration.

CHICAGO. - 1t now may be pos
sible to sew back in place a severed
arm or leg and have it grow in
place, restoring its normal func-
tons through a newly developed
technique, DR.. L. w. Crossman, at
tending surgeon at the New York
City hospital, said in a paper read
before the 18th annual assembly of
the U. S. chapter of the Interna-
tional College of Surgeons. The pa
per was read by an associate, DR..
j. M. Armengal.
The new technique involves use
of refrigeration, and such expert
ments have proved successful with
human fingers and with whole legs
of dogs, DR.. Crossman said. He
said surgeons had "amputated the
legs of dogs, placed the legs in an
ice box for "a hours, and then were
able to replace the limbs and have
them heal to recover the full use of
the part"
1--WE think this is possible with
humans under ideal circumstances"
he said, land by a thoroughly
trained team of not only good sur
geons, but also good blood vessel
surgeons"
In refrigeration surgery, he said,
a mangled or infected extremity is
packed with ice and preserved as
long as several weeks, or until the
patients condition is improved to
the point where the member may
be amputated or saved.
He said surgeons never should ere
move a mangled extremity as an
emergency operation" but should
allow a patient to recover strength
while the limb is encased in ice.

u Rides Over
Anaconda Central To
Cinch Second Place

The Surprising Laurel Locomo-
tives easily defeated the hapless
Anaconda Central football eleven
AT to II last Friday in the Smelter
City, to take second place honors in
the western division of the class A
conference race. A close ID to z
victory by Livingston over the
Havre Blue Ponies gave the Rang
ers an undefeated season and the
right to go against the Miles City
Cowboys next week for the state
title.
The Locomotives, who fought their
way from a decided underdog at the
start of the season, were favored
when they took to the field for
their last conference game of the
year and lived up to their role by
scoring in the first three plays of
the game. They continued to reach
pay dirt almost at will for the re-
mainder of the game except for the
second period. With the score 20
to 0 at the end of the first period,
Anaconda came to life after pick
ing a tumble out of the air and
racing rs yards to score, and quick
ly picked up another touchdown
with a sweeping end run. Laurel,
however, came back in the second
half to chalk up four more touch
downs and three conversions for
27 more points.
The Laurel squad stayed on the
ground throughout the game and
with big holes in the line the backs
scampered for large gains. Laurel
tailed first after a 75-yard march,
and scored three more on As, "a and
drives. The other two
scores came by way of intercepted
passes when Anaconda went to the
air in the last canto. Void added
five points to the total in seven at
after touchdowns.
Twenty-seven men saw action in
the game for the Locomotives and
the last period a junior
sophomore line held the attempts
Of the Shelter City boys in check
to indicate that the Laurel entry
will again give opponents something
to think about next year.

Mogollons Linked
With Earliest Race
Mysterious Indians Connected
With Stone Age Men.

CHICAGO. - DR.. Paul Martin Of
the Chicago Natural History mu.
scum disclosed that he has identi.
fed the mysterious pre-Columbus
Mogollon Indians whose, origin the
museum has been studying for
years.
I'VE think they were descendants
of the earliest New World Indians
we have found evidence of-the Co.
chises who lived in Arizona about
$4,000 B. c." he said.
DR.. Martin, chief curator of an
thropology at the museum, was
back from his diggings in New Mex
leo to report newly-discovered links
In the story of the old-stone-age men
who lived there by gathering and
grinding seeds and nuts hundreds
of years before the white men came.
1t already was known that DR..
Martin and his associates on the eX-
petition had named these seed-eat-
ers Mogollons.
Additional information trickled
back last summer from the dig
gings, to the effect that tools had
been discovered indicating that the
much older and more primitive race,
called the Cochises, had been in this
area, wanderers from Arizona.
DR.. Martin revealed that evidence
had been found linking up the Mogol-
Ions with the Cochises. He displayed
the evidence: some rough stone
knives, or hi~descrapers, of the SIM
plest manufacture, and a we'll
shaped, well-fred, implanted pot
terry jar.
DR.. Martin said that the imple-
ments dug up included some tools
of type so similar to those used by
the ancient Cochises as to indicate
that the later people who had left
them, and had left the pottery near
them, were descended from the
Cochises.
This connects the people who lived
on the Mogollon site with culture
earlier than ancient Egypt, he said.
DR.. Martin pronounced the pottery
found the earliest North American
examples of this handicraft thus far
unearthed.
, "We think some wandering Mex
lean potter who knew how gave the
the know-how," said DR..
Martin.

Major Corn Crop States
Avoid Damage From Frost

WASHINGTON The agriculture
department reported that 80 per
cent of the critical corn crop was
largely safe" from frost damage
in the IL main production states.
This represents a sharp improve
ment over previous estimates, when
only 70 per cent of the crop in these
states was reported safe. The IL
states normally would produce
about three fourths of the antici-
pated crop of 2,4O4, OOO, 900 bushels.
Because of the rapid progress of
the crop, the department said, soft
corn will be only a minor problem
except in Ohio, Michigan and pos
sibly parts of Indiana and Illinois.

GENERAL DEvERS SAYS
u. s. STILL NEEDS
GROUND COMBAT TROOPS

The years which have elapsed
since the Armistice ended World
War have not diminished the need
in warfare for a strong and we'll
trained Infantry, Artillery, and
Armored Cavalry, Gen. Jacob l..
Devers, commanding general of the
Army Ground Forces, declared in
an Armistice Day message made
public today.
Despite the destructive possibili-
ties of the atomic bomb and other
scientific advances in warfare" !"
General Devers said, wars still are
won by ground soldiers who seize
and hold the enemy's territory, or
successfully defend their own.
IF any enemy force were to
catch us off guard and seize vital
areas Of the United States, our adj
vantage in the atomic bomb would
be countered until our ground
troops were able to drive the enc
my back into the sea and destroy
him."
The World War II commander of
the Sixth Army Group in Europe
pointed out that even after years of
aerial bombardment, Germany did
not surrender until large portion
of her territory had been wrested
from the Wehrmacht by Allied
ground troops. He added that the
atomic bombing of Japan could not
have been accomplished without the
seizure in ground combat of ad-
vanced Pacific bases.
General Devers said the most
significant development in ground
warfare since the first World Wal
had been the trend toward an Army
of specialists and technicians, with
steadily increasing emphasis on in.
telligence and initiative in the en-.
listed ranks. This is reflected, HI
said, in the fact that nearly 40 per
cent of the applicants for enlist
ment in the postwar Regular Army
are unable to meet the prescribed
qualifications.
''The World War l doughboy wht
slogged his way to victory in 1911
was the best fighting man of hi
generation" General Devers said
"but unless he were trained in tn
chronological aspects of American
arms, he would have a tough tim
making the grade in our new Arm,
of radar operators, guided missil
technicians, ballastic meteorolo
gists, fire control electricians, an
flash ranging specialists.
| One result of these higher stand
ards of technical competence an
nersonal initiative, especially in tn
Army Ground Forces. has been a
increased incentive for ambition
and intelligent young men to quail
fv for REGULAR Army in the Infar
try, Artillery, and Armored Cavalr
Milford chronicle., 1947-11-28

apparently attach more Importance
to this career opportunity than to
the new, higher pay scales.
A principal basis for this incen-
tive, according to General Devers,
is the Army's new preselected
school plan, which makes it possible
for qualified high school graduates,
before actually enlisting in the
Army, to choose, among the more
than so specialist training courses
given at Army schools. the one
course they especially want to take.
If they are accepted for enrolment
in the selected course, they may
then enlist in the Army for three or
more years, with full assurance that
they will be assigned to that course.
Among the Army Ground Forces
schools in which courses are avail
able under this plan, General Dew
ers said, are The Artillery School at
Fort Sill, Okla; the Seacoast
Branch of The Artillery School at
Fort Winfield Scott( Calf; The
Armored School at Fort Knox, Ky. !;
and the Physical Training and Ath.
letic Directors Course at Camp Lee
Va.
IN addition to this opportunity to
select a course of specialist train
;ng, the Army Ground Forces re
cruit who shows evidence of leader.
ship ability and aooye-average in
telligence may also qualify for en-
rollment in new six-week Poten-
tial Leaders Course after he has
completed basic military training
This leadership course, Genera
Deyers explained, serves not only Il
train enlisted men for service a:
noncommissioned officers but t.
prepare outstanding men for enroll
ment in officer candidate school,
and advancement to commissioned
status.
