Loynx Helps YoiceIess Candidate Campaign

B 1t is hard to imagine a politician
without q voice.
Harris T. Richards, SO, Repub-
lican candidate for the Fairfax
County Board Of Supervisors, is
Just that.
Since 1947. when his larynx was
removed, the candidate has had to
do his talking through a pipe like
instrument called an artificial
larynx.
But Mr.. Richards hasn't let that
slow down his campaigning. He
would be the last to complain that
lit handicapped him. and heavy
schedule of speeches until the
November 6 election seems to bear
him out.
I'm fact, talk at least 10 times
Jas much now as ! did with my
natural voice." he said.
He almost pities speakers who
lappear against him during the
round of prediction meetings.
There is no muscle action in
volyed in the way I talk-I never
lget tired"
The artificial larynx fits into an
opening in Mr.. Richards neck,
through which he breathes. Air
forces a small reed in the instru-
Iment to vibrate. A pipe stems from
the reed to Mr.. Richards mouth
and he forms words with his lips
Just as normal speakers do. He
has learned to fluctuate the vol
ume of noise from the reed, speak
ling expressively and avoiding a
monotone.
Mr.. Richards is not at all self
conscious as he fits the little in
Istrument In place and begins to
outline his platform before a new
group Of voters. He often is aware
Iof their curiosity. however. Once
a woman told him it was impolite
for man to talk while smoking a
pipe. That didn't bother him, but
he spent the next Is minutes try
ing to relieve her embarrassment
after she discovered he couldn t
have said a word without the
pipe"
Most bothersome to Mr.. Rich
ards is the Army's label of totally
disabled Since his school days
in Texas. an Army career has been
his aim. He was smart enough to
be graduated from high school at
IA, but several years later he failed
a West Point competitive examina-
tion. That slowed down his Army
dream for a few years until in
1896. when he enlisted as a priv
