U. 5. Prepares TO Blast
More German Bridges
In Case Of Red Attack
By the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Jan.
29.-New Western preparations in
Germany to meet threats of Soviet
attack were revealed today.
Officials of German construc-
ton firm disclosed the United
States Army had employed them
to prepare major bridges across
West Germans Main River for
quick demolition in case the Rus
slams struck.
United States authorities dis
closed yesterday in Berlin that
Britain and America are pulling
their military supply lines to
Germany southwark to Belgium
and France-away from German
ports on the front doorstep of
Soviet RuSsia's occupied zone.
Overland Routes Set Up.
These officials said that by mid
summer Bordeaux would replace
Bremen as the main American
United States supply port and
Antwerp would take Hamburgs
place as the funnel for British
forces. Overland routes are being
set up to bring the troops from the
more southern points.
The demolition plans for the
Main River crossings appeared to
be part Of a master plan drawn
up by Western defense leaders.
1t was disclosed last summer
that similar preparations had
been made on roads and bridges
along the Rhine River. A French
official then said, These meas
ures are not only taken in the
French zone and along the Rhine,
but everywhere in Western. Ger

Rod Inserted in Bone
Aids Fast Recovery
In Thigh Fractures
By Fronk Corey
Associated Press Science Reporter


CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-An I'M
usual surgical technique for treat
ing thigh demonstrating in
sertion of a metal rod lengthwise
through the bone-is now well
past the test pilot stage"
This was reported to the Amer
lean Academy of OrJhopedic Sur
geons today by DR.. Hugh Smith
of Memphis, Tenn.
He is one of a group of civilian,
Army and veterans hospital sur
geonS who for the last three years
have been developing and evaluat-
ing the technique-first intro
duced by German doctors in World
War II.
3 Groups Work on Problem.
The Army Surgeon Generals
Office, the National Research
Council and representatives of
the American Academy of Ortho-
pedic Surgeons have been carrying
on the investigative work.
Declaring the technique prom
Uses to be one of the great adj
vances in the treatment of
fractures of the long bones. par
ticularly the thigh bone" DR..
Smith said:
Usually the fracture can be
fixed sufficiently so that cumber-
some casts are unnecessary. Three
weeks after an accident, many
patients can be up on crutches
and out of the hospital" There
after, he said, rehabilitation is
rapid"
Refers to Atomic Casualties.
Apparently referring to the pos
sibility of atomic warfare-in
which experts say fracture cases
would run high-Dr. Smith told
the surgeons:
There is the future threat OF
mass casualties. both civilian and
military. Any method that, in a
few weeks. will permit a patient
to more or less fend for himself,
can alleviate the prospect of a
serious shortage of hospital beds. :"
He said the Army was inter-
ested in the new technique because
''by standard techniques, a SOL
dier with a fractured thigh bone
is liability for a year" and is
difficult to transport in an emer-
gency
Casts in Standard Use.
Other surgeons at the meeting
explained that standard tech
niques' include prolonged use of
casts or Splints and weights often
without surgical setting of the
fracture. Certain metal appliances
such as plates or screws or pins
are commonly used in surgical
techniques, they said, but require
prolonged use of casts.
These metal appliances are
either attached to the outside of
the fractured bone or passed
croSsWise through it.
In contrast, the new metal rods
are pushed lengthwise through
the marrow canal or hollow
center of the bone. Space for the
rod is first reamed out with an
other device. The rod is removed
when nature has caused the
fracture to heal.
Keeps Bone Fixed"
The whole idea is to keep the
fractured bone fixed" while ma
ture does her work.
Once the patient can be up on
clutches and out of the hospital.
DR.. Smith said, exercises keep
muscles strong and joints NOV
able during the convalescent pc
rlod, preventing much of the
GRIPPING that accompanies pro-
longed use of casts and splints."
Thus" he added, 1.-The bread
winner of the family gains the
privilege of rapid rehabilitation
and an early return to work, as
compared with orthodox forms of
treatment. The economic ad-

Could You Prevent
The City From Changing
The Name Of Your Street?

For many years, a wealthy dow
ager lived in large house on an
exclusive residential street. One
day the city notified her that, be-
cause of arrangement Of traf-
fic routes, the name and house
numbers of that particular block
would have to be changed. The
dowager was outraged, and de-
cided to fight the change. She bat
tied all the way to the state SUI
preme court, insisting that the city
had no right to change her address
without her permission. However,
the court didn't see 1t that way and
upheld the city's action. The judge
said that, no matter how long a
person has an address, it still new
er becomes his private property.

the $4,000 he had been promised.
The husband pleaded that he should
not be bound by promise under
such circumstances, but the court
ruled that he must indeed pay the
full amount. The judge pointed out
that the bystander had risked his
own life to fulfill the husbands
plea-and therefore was entitled to
his reward.

The trouble in Wise County has
been credited to the truck mines,
but they are only a part of the
total picture. The union has been
broken at Esserville and at Ola,
morgan. The operators at these
places buy and ship coal from
the truck mines. All this, to the
eye of the hardshell union miner,
is the denial OF all that for which
he has fought and starved. Natul
ally, he is angry. Stand aside,
however. and try to understand
the small operator and the non
union miner.
The average truck mine opera
tor had little of worldly goods be
fore World War II. Then came g
demand for coal, and pits were
opened away from the railroads
and tipples. There was no immedi
ate letdoWn after the war, and
anything that looked like coal
found a market for nearly three
years. The truck mine operator
had made some money, and he
wanted more. He had invested in
machinery and wanted to hold on
to his business He could mine
coal cheaper than the bigger OPP
orators, if he did not pay union
scale wages, and SO long as he
could do 80, he had market.
These men had a streak of luck,
blood-soaked though it was, and
they did not want to go back to
labor Or a common little struggl-
ing business.
At this point, let us examine
one of their arguments. The truck
mine operators say they can't
pay union wages and stay in bust
ness. However, many of them
have made more money within
the last few years than they could
ever have made in all their lives
under normal conditions. They
made it from the sweat of cheap
labor.
And what OF the non-llnion
miners?
Some of them could not pass
the physical examination for
work in the larger mines. Others
have not taken up mining as a ca
reer, and their employment is
only means of making little
extra money to supplemnt other
work. Some of them have asked
for work in the union mines but
have not been able to get jobs.
They are, for the most part, cas-
ual laborers, without class cons
ciousness. They are making com
