Gossip-About The Gossiper

Gossip it seems, is not limited to old ladies' Young
things college age just guilty, and inclined to
the idle word much woman-almost
Thomas Blackburn assistant editor of The Witmarsum
takes young gossipers task editorial in the current
Wit which contains few grains worth passing to the older
generation.
By tearing down Others person has the feeling (sub
consciously that he is building himself up He feels proud
he does not have these faults or thinks he does no Also
it's good way to be the enF of attention This is
to get others to listen yo because you appealing to
their egos"
But says the editorial ia gossiper often not really
believed since probably talks about everyone The listen
is afraid he, himself, will be the next subject.
Tom adds that the senS shares the responsibility His
avid interest is what leads the gossiper
The editorial concludes that it isn't necessary to stop
talking about other people The talk be constructive and
often the listener genuinely interested in knowing
about the person.
An interesting experiment might be suggested to the
confirmed gossper he should start building up his

New Pictures
By BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD Up - The movies
are again inspiring a volume of
popular records, but it's not be.
cause of musicals. The dramas are
doing the selling.
Film musicals used TO bring
forth number Of hit songs and
records. But something has hap.
pened. For one thing, the scores
for movies haven't produced the
singable tunes of yore. Also, the
music business has become
topsy-turYy world in which inane
jingles, cornball tunes and shout
ing singers in echo chambers have
become hits.
Now comes new wrinkle. The
scores of dramatic pictures are
producing songs and records that
click. This is nothing new. In the
old days. movies used to have
theme songs that were played over
and over again for a haunting
effect.
Then there was the still-popular
Laura" The background theme
Of the picture, written By David
Raksin, was lyricized by Johnny
Mercer. and the song became a

Makes History
In Front Lines
Spectacular
New Operation
Cuts AmputatiOns
By Two-Thirds

KOREA - A boyish looking
Navy surgeon, using a spectacular
new operation to reduce amputa-
tons by two-thirds, has made front
line medical history with the Ma
rineS.
Scores of Leathernecks are walk
ing again, using arms and hands
normally, who might otherwise be
experimenting with artificial limbs.
Lieutenant Frank c. Spencer. 27.
is credited with saving them
through use Of arterial graft sur
gerry. A severed blood vessel is re-
paired by sewing a piece of I'M
damaged artery to each end of the
damaged blood vessel. These come
from ARTERY banks stocked from
limbs so badly mangled amputa
ton was essential.
Spencer performed more than so
arterial graft operations with the
LIST Marines. In more than 65 cases
the arm or leg of the wounded man
has been saved.
Spencer is chief surgeon of Easy
Medical Company of the 1st Ma
rine Division. 1t is one of three
such outfits manned by Navy doct-
ors and enlisted corpsmen on the
Marine sector.
The arterial repair operation is
new to the Korean War. 1t was
started last August.
Some sources estimate that one.
third of all amputations in World
War II resulted from inability to
repair blood vessels of wounded
men at or near the front.
Here, in Spencer's words, is a
description of the operation:
when an artery is wounded, the
missile destroys a section of it.
What is needed is a tube to re-
connect the two ends -- to bridge
the gap resulting from damage to
the blood vessel.
THE arterial gratis are Sewed in
place with very small stitches so
that the connection will be water
tight to let the blood pass through.
! The operation takes from two to
four hours.
Complete recovery is expected
in about one month and usually the
patient is walking in about three
weeks after surgery"

vich. The man had been gone for
ten minutes.
He opened the fire door into the

saw Mandell.

He was sorry he'd stopped to talk

The starter was standing on the
walk, looking after him.
Mandell walked on, even faster.

expensive, two-year-old-hat from
his head. Mandel grabbed for it
and missed. A man walking west
tried to stop it. The man behind
him caught it and picked it up.
A stolid, unSmiling man, he au-
tomatically brushed it with his
sleeve. Then, as if suddenly
frightened, he pushed the fawn-
colored hat into MandeIl'S ex-
tended hand and hurried on, al
ternately looking back over his
shoulder and down at the sticky
substance on his fingers.
Mandell stood rooted to the
pavement, looking at his hat, ig-
noring the joStling crowd around
him. Part of the hats underbrim
was as Smeared with blood as the
sleeve of his topcoat.
But it hadn't been blood that
had puzzled the starter. It hadn't
been blood that had frightened
the man who picked up his hat.
There were two neat round holes
punched in the crown. Bullet
holes.
The light changed from green
to red. Car horns blasting in his
ears, Mandeu walked on to the
curb.
The blood was easily explained.
The blood belonged to Mr.. Curtis.
But how explain the two bullet
holes? A new fear nagged at
Mandell'S tired mind. Had the
killer been shooting at him or at
Mr.. Curtis? Which one of them
had the man in the doorway
meant to kill?
At whom had the man been
shooting?
Outside of Mr.. Curtis shouting.
Down! Hit the floor, Barney" no
words had been spoken. There
had been only the click of the
light switch and the burst of
shots.
But the two shots that had
punched holes through the crown
of his hat hadn't been fred at Mr..
Curtis. Mr.. Curtis had been stand
ing in front of the window, near
the file case, on the far side of the
room.
Mandell looked across the street
at the windows of his hotel, the
hotel where Gale was waiting,
back of one of the closed win
dows. He felt suddenly drained
and cheated. He couldn't 60 to
Gale. When Gale saw the blood
on his topcoat and the bullet in
his hat. she would ask more Ques-
tionS than the police.
