Man Severed In Half to Rid Cancer
 Stricken Body on Road to Recovery

NEW YORK tP - A man cut in half to get rid of the paralyzed cancer-stricken lower part of his body, has survived for one year and is on the road To what may be a useful life.
 Surgeons al the University of Minnesota Hospital, " CT the operation was performed to re- move the legs and pelvis, believe it is the first of it's kind in which q patient has survived for any length of time.
 The backbone was severed at the level of the navel, but no vital organs or intestine were removed, doctors said
 The normal outlets for waste ma terials had to be relocated, and the patient continues to have a cathether or tube in his bladder
 Six surgeons, three nurses and one anestheologist took part in the operation.
 The amazing case was presented in report to the American Con- gress of Physical Medicine and Re mobilization meeting here. Uni- verslty of Minnesota staff members who prepared the paper were pr. J. Bradley Aust, associate professor of surgery, who headed the operat- ing team: Dr. Frederic J. Kottke, head of the Department of Physi- cal Medicine and Rehabilitation: and two other members of the de- partment, pr. Walter Dawson and Dr. Jessie K. M. Easton.
 Identity of the 30-year-old pa tient is being withheld by the physicians.
 This is his history, as detailed at Minneapolis press conference by Drs. Aust, Kottke and Easton:
 He was paralyzed from the waist down from birth with spine bifida-a tWo-prenged spine which is open over his spinal cord.
 As an infant in a poor family he got poor care An ulcer on hi! buttocks was agitated by his con finement and lack of control evel elimination of waste matters.

 It was Brooke who issued the deportation order Aug 2.
 Soblen sat with his head bowed and lips quivering as the appeal court judges read their decision.
 Then his attorneys announced no useful purpose would be served by taking Soblen's case to the House of Lords. Britain's highest legal authority, as they had once considered doing.
 After two months of information al Wrangling and marathon cour hearings, the last barrier to Sob lens deportation was thus re moved
