Feb. 15 U.R A comparatively simple operation will correct many cases of in herited flat feet, a group of west coast physicians reported today. The best results, doctors said, ari nMninpri when the ODera- tion is performed in the child's early life. Their study snows that some of the patients passed nrmv nhvsiral examinations and served in the infantry in the last war. The work was reported by Drs. John C. Manning. C. W. Lambert and Ralph B. Miller, of the Los Angeles, Calif., Ortho paedic hospital, in connection with the opening of the 17th an nual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Sur geons. The nation's top bone ex perts are attending the sessions, Results of the Los Angeles doctors' work were shown for . the first time in the east in an exhibit. They reported on a . survey of 74 flat foot surgical . operations in a ten-year period, involving 38 patients who co operated in a follow-up examin ation program. Of the 38 cases, 35 patients . reported they 4 feel better,' and most of them said they "play all games desired." The operatoin, according to Dr. Lambert, usually involves making only one incision on the inside of the foot below the ankle. The anterior tibial, the main tendon that you can feel on the top of the foot just above the ankle, is stretched and looped as though a sling through a small slot that is cut into the ankle bone. The technique reinforces the muscles that ordinarily hold ' up the arch. In some cases, it was ex plained, the achilles tendon is . lengthened by severing it, and then sewing it together again.

Ft. SIZE Other Models Allied Navies to Meet Off China Manila, Feb. 15 (U.R) -The United States and Britain will parade their Far Eastern naval might within 600 miles of com munist China next month, the Philippines customs bureau re ported tonight. It said the American Western Pacific fleet and British Far Eastern fleet will hold joint maneuvers off the west coast of Luzon March 3 to 10. Although U.S. naval head quarters at Sangley Point, Ma nila Bay, said it was not ready to make any announcement, the report was believed to be true because the Philippine govern ment necessarily would have to be informed of such maneuvers. Informed sources said they believed the maneuvers were de signed to impress Russia and the Chinese communists with Anglo American naval strength off their Pacific shores. The composition of the Amer ican fleet was not known here. But it was speculated that it would include the newly arrived aircraft carrier Boxer.
