" Space Doctor Says American' Astronauts Ready For Travel HOME lUPD-A k-adina Amer ican space doctor said today any one of the seven U.S. astronauts can take off for outer space "to morrow" providing a space ve hicle is ready. Dr. Siegfried J. Gerathewohl made the statement in comment' ing on a itussian scientist s re mark Thursday that a Kussian now is ready to be launched into space. "We have a man ready, too." said Gerathewohl. "in fact, seven of them. Any one of our astro nauts could be sent up tomorrow on sub-orbital or short orbital flights if the vehicle Were ready." Gerathewohl, of the bio-astro- mimic research office, U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Atfency, defined 'short orbital flights" as those in volving "one or two orbits around the earth, for a few hours run in space." No Comment On Rac Gerathewohl would not say whether he thought the United States would beat Russia in the space race but he said ' """ it won't be very long before they launch their first man imo 3Va.t The Amm-imn scientist com mented that "It is very olten said that the medical people are be hind the engineers in space travel, but 1 doubt that. "We know today what man can stand in space," he said. "Now it is up to the engineers to pro vide systems under which I can survive." Challenge Ruts Scientists Gerathewohl interrupted a paper he was delivering to the World Congress of Aviation and Space Medicine to challenge Soviet sci entists to take part in a freer exchange of information on space research. lie said the Russians had sup plied data on some high-flying rocket experiments with animals that stayed up only a few min utes, but had withheld information on Laika, the dog that stayed aloft in Sputnik II "for hours." The data on Laika, which we still do not have, is very important to us all, Gerathewohl said.

"But ! don't fight the wallpaper, Jessie it fights ml" Workman's Leg Is 'Grafted'. Back After Limb Nearly 6ff Thi log is nuMie up from Information by Television Station and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed by the La Grande Obterver, CASTRO VALLEY. Calif. lUPH A team of surgeons has grafted back a workman's right leg which was almost severed in an indus trial accident, it was disclosed to day. The victim, Billy L. Smith, 25, is at Hayward, Calif., recovering in Eden Hospital here from the ac cident, which occured three months ago. Dr. Elmer O. Masman, director of the hospital, said that Smith will be able to walk again within a few months, although his right leg will be two inches shorter than his left because of bone and tissue damage suffered in the ac cident. The doctors agreed that the op eration apparently is the first of its kind in recorded medical his tory. They added, however, that it bore "little resemblance to a Russian doctors plan to graft the leg of a dead person on a 20-year-old girl whose leg was amputated. The doctors who performed the feat, a Hayward orthopedic surg eon and an Oakland, Calif., vascu lar surgeon, insisted their names not be used in news dispatches. However, Masman related this account of the accident and oper ation: Smith was working at the steel door of a furnace in the U. S. Pipe and Foundry Co. plant in nearby Decolo when the heavy steel hook of a traveling crane hurtled down on him. Held Together by Skin The hook smashed his right leg against the furnace door, crush ing through the bone and flesh above the knee. When the company doctor reached him. Smiths leg was at tached to his body only by a bit of skin. Doctors said the connect ing skin w as valueless, and could have been snipped away without affecting the subsequent operation. The company physician: applied a torniquet to the bleeding stump and sent Smith to the Eden Hospital. The orthopedic surgeon was summoned and, on a "spur of the moment decision," decided to try to sew on the leg. io He called the vascular surgeon and they started the - operation three hours and 35 minutes after the accident. -Leg Bone Shortened First, the doctors attached the arteries and veins of the severed leg to those of the sump, pumping life-giving blcod back into the limb. v Then the doctors cut away the crushed musle and skin, cleaned the area and shortened the leg bone by two inches to compen sate for the removed muscle and tendons. Then the muscle, skin, tendons and blood vessels were attached to the stump. Since the operation lhebone has been held together by metal pins and has begun to knit. Smith's leg muscles are being kept in condition by daily electric stimulation.
