Psychiatrists Ponder Case
Of the 'Living-Dead' Hindu

NEW YORK (UP) Psychia
trists the world over are ponder-
ing the exceedingly strange case
of the living-dead, Hindu who for
seven years departed from tills
world yet, In the flesh, remained
around. You may enjoy pondering
1, too, since It shows there are
still mysteries within men which
pale mystery fiction.
This Hindu was 56 when it start
ed. He was father of 10 children,
had been an employe of a govern
ment department for 22 years. His
chief had died. He was in line to
succeed. But other government
workers Intrigued. First, he was
transferred to another department.
Then he was suspended. No one
would tell him what the charges
against him were.
He fretted and fumed. Two
months passed, while he kept say
ing he didn't feel too well and was
afraid he might become ill. One
day his temperature shot up to 103
degrees. He was semi - conscious.
Malarial parasites, but of the be
- nign type, were found in his blood.
After two days of fever, he became
like a dead man except he was
alive.
No Folk Tale
It is a state in which the Word
"stupor" is applied, but in its med
ical sense. Living-dead is the clear
est way of describing that sort of
stupor. His body kept -right on
functioning. But his mind no long
er cared to exercise sovereignty
over it. He was gone, yet he was
there on a bed and breathing.
Mind you, this is no folkish tale
from mystic India. It is a sober
and factual medical account o!
something that happened.
One of the man's sons was a
fully qualified physician. Thus,' the
resources of modern medicine were
brought to bear. Every test wus
made to find out what was wrong
with this vegetating human body.
The collective result was nothing
was wrong. Temperature was nor
mal. But reflexes were non-existent.
No part of the body moved,
unless it was moved. An arm or a
leg could be twisted into a grotes
que position and it would stay
there until gravity straightened it
There was no evidence that the
.body felt sensation of any kird.
In this state the man remained
lor seven years. Once each day, all
his joints were massaged, includ'
ing the small Joints of fingers and
toes. Each day, nutrition was put
into the body by injection or by
stomach tube; each day, waste
substances were removed. -Explanation

During the seven years, pneu

with penicillin and cleared up In
eight days. During the second year,
he developed an abscess on the
back. It was treated surgically
without anesthesia, and "the pa
tient did not show the slightest
movement of his body during the
operation."
One evening the man's tempera
ture which, remember, had re
mained normal suddenly shot
up to 105. Blood tests were normal
but again revealed malarial para
sites. For four days his tempera
ture readings were on a two-way
escalator. On the fourth day. he
had convulsions. Thereafter, the
body moved again on Its own, at
long last. The first movements
were in the fingers.

Nature's Cure
Of Cancer Needs
More Study
By DKLOS SMITH
I lUUti Press Science Editor
NKW YOKK (UP) As incredible
as it sounds, and despite the many
millions and the tremendous ef
forts which go into cancer ro
search, science has never made a
thorough - going effort to undei
stand precisely how nature now
and then does what man hasn't
done yet really cure cancer.
Dr. Robert C. Mellors, pointing
this out at the annual mating of
the American Cancer Society, re
vealed that first steps toward a
complete, precise understanding
"probably" has brought science
'a giant step" closer to the con
quest of Bright 's disease, which is
remote from cancer but quite
serious.
Science has always called na
lure's mysterioas cancer -cure,
"spontaneous regression." They're
exceedingly rare but. Dr. Mellors
said, they're "fully documented."
He cited a recent case at the
Memorial Hospital for Cancer and
Allied Diseases here in New York.
The woman's cancer was in. an
advanced stage. "Suddenly there
was an explosive development of
allergic reactions." Dr. Mellors
said. Not enough time has passed
to show how lasting this "explo
sive development" will be, but for
the rime her cancer is under a "bi
ological control" which was sup-;
plied by her own body chemistry.
It seemed evident, he said, thai
some "alteration" had occurred in
the protein of her tumor. It be-!
came "foreign, from the view-i
point of her body chemistry which
set itself to manufacturing the
chemical antibodies with which to
expel the foreign invader. This
'Immune mechanism" operates in
Infectious diseases but it has never
been clearly demonstrated to oper
ate in cancer.
Neglected Research. Problem
Dr. Mellors, who is a section
head in the Sloan Kettering Insti
tute for Cancer Research, granted
that his explanation of what hap
pened to the woman, was "conjec
ture" but "it is clear that a better
understanding of the host mecha
nisms in the biological control of
cancer ... is one of the most press
ing and in many respects most ne
glected problems in cancer re
search today. (
Ways and means of study in,
such intricate and well-hidden nat
ural mechanisms are extremely
difficult, he also granted and
then outlined technical niceties
with which he demonstrated the
presence of localized immune bod
ies proleins capable of stimulat
ing body chemistry into producing
specific antibodies in human
body cells and tissues.
That led him to a passing, men
tion of Bright's disease glomeru
lonephritis. Medicine has long sus
pected it was an allergic disease,
but immune bodies have never
been demonstrated in the glomeru
li of the kidneys. By his technical
method, he demonstrated their
presence. I
As the result, we are now prob-j
ably a "giant step" closer to work
ing out a means for the eventual
prevention and control of glomeru
lonephritis, he said.
During the severe winter of 1948,
32,000 catlle and calves and 125,-
000 sheep perished from the ele
ments.

Life Expectancy
WASHINGTON (UP) People
who die these days do so prema
turely. V
The time is coming when hu
man beings will live much longer
on the average than they do now
if they manage to avoid death by
accident, natural violence or war.
That seems to sum up the views
of a number of scientists who at
recent medical meetings have ex
pressed themselves on the subject
of life expectancy.
The average American can now
expect to live to around 69, or ap
proximately the biblical span of
three score years and 10. Amer
ican life expectancy is 20 years
greater than it was in 1900.
It could be extended another 10
years just by applying "all the
medical knowledge we now have,"
according to a paper read In Balti
more last week by Frederick C.
Swartz, Lansing, Mich.
At another meeting, in Troy.
N.Y., Dr. Maurice L. Talnter
Rensselaer N.Y., said that a life
expectancy of 100 years will be
come a possibility by the end of
this century.
In Kansas City, Mo., Dr. Kobert
A. Davison, Memphis, Term., pre
dicted a time when everybody
will expect to live to 115 or 120.
He proclaimed a potential life ex
pectancy of 140.
By and large such forecasts as
sume continued advances in treat
ment of disease, more healthful
eating practices, and better care
generally of the body and mind.

believes that aging is a molecular
process occurring in the protein
structure of body cells.
He also believes the body pos
sesses a mechanism which resists
this process for a while. He con
tends it is possible that agents
may some day be found which
will counteract molecular aging.

Time Surgery
By H. D, QUIim
I'nlted Press Siau ioitrftpundent
NF.W YOP.K lUP)-Time waits
for no man. Everybody knows
that. But now, in addition to its
wtll-known refusal to tarry,
durntd if it ain't going to put the
squeeze on us all.
A second isn't a second any
mure. It's less than a second.
The old song advises us to re
member this: A kiss is but a kiss,
a sigh is -just a sigh. . .but in the
light of a recent significant an
nouncement from a covey of as
tronomers in Dublin, Ireland, the
fundamental tilings of bfe had
bettor get themselves stirring in
order to keep up as time goes by. I
These skyboys, in solemn con-!
vention,' went and did it. With
time on their hands (and stars,
naturally, in their eyes), the as
tronomers begun tampering. They
decided to trim the second Cut it
down to size.
Now, you'd think, if anybixly
was going to monkey with a unit
of time, he'd do just the opposite.
Pad It out. Stretch it. Give It a
little girth so that harried hu
manity could move around in it a
little more freely give us room
to swing a flea, or something,
u round.
Healthy Cut
But what did these boys do?
They lopped .0000018 per cent off
the second. This thing that they
did wus done to a vehicle that al
ready was stuffed nigh to busting
with time-saving schemes. Now
ihut it's going to be slirunk look
out, chaos, or worse, looms.
The announcement from Dublin
said the time surgery was per
formed by the ninth assembly of
the International Astronomical
Union. H. M. Smith, of the British
Royal Grenwich Observatory
staff, said in making the an
nouncement that the second from
now on will be calculated as a
fraction of a year.
Up to now, it's been figured as
a fraction of Uie mean solar day.
But it wasn't uniform in length
that way. Too much variation.
Anything reckoned by the way
the Earth turns will not be uni
form In length because the Earth
rolls by fits and starts, astronom
ically speaking. It -can speed up
or slow down within a given cen
tury, and over the long run of
centuries it has been slowing
down, gradually.
So the astronomical union made
the second a chunk of a year, in
stead of a day, and carved nearly
two-millionlhs
off the length of
each second.
What To Do?
Well, what're you gonna do?
We work and slave, scheme nnd
connive, whom ping up ways to
save time. We invent time-saving
devices. We cram more and more
of ourselves into each second,
living it up each moment, so wc,
can have more time the next sec
ond. We take detours.
And now this. A squeeze playi

For Her Return
To Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Prces Hollywood Writer
HOLLYWOOD (UP) With Mari
lyn Monroe's personal lile appar
ently straightened out, Hollywood's
favorite blonde finally has served
notice she's ready to return to
movies, it was revealed today.
It's nearly a year since the world
famous calendar girl packed her
tight dresses and took off to rum
over a new leaf In New York. Last
Monday her divorce from 'Joe Di
Maggio became final, eidhng what
friends think was a period of soul
searching and development.
Studio sources reveal that for a
year Marilyn and her studio have
not spoken. Only last week near
the year's anniversary of her di
vorce and flight from movietown
did the sweater girl, through her
agent, begin contract talks with the
studio.
Bun Stop
Unless the reconciliation becomes
bogged down in contract squib
bllg, Marilyn's comeback picture
will be "Bus Stop', from the
Broadway hit play, to go before the
cameras early next year.
The bouncy yet one-time deeply
sad actress moved to Now York to
et the wounds of her unhappy mar-
lage heal, and also to try to be
come a latter day Sarah Bernhardt.
For a year she's been studying
pear-shaped tones at the famed ac-.
tors' studio, spawning ground for
Marlon Brando and Julie Harris.
She has sat, makeup-less and
wide-eyed, in intellectual circles to
soak up cuKure. Her friends have
been such un-Holywoodish stage
actors as Eli Wallach and Ben Gaz
zara. But If Marilyn refcirns here for
Bus Stop." It may mean she has
postponed hor fight to be a dramat
ic actress. The role is of another
tnampy, dumb blonde-Jthe type of
role that drove her from movies.
Loves New York
A studio source, however, polnti
out 'With Josh Logan erecting.
the role will have more depth and
scone thnn she's had before,"
Will Marilyn be able to make a
comeback?
A Wg personality is never hurt
by being off the screen. Talent "Is
