tWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE "Tuesday, December 20. 1955 Cr Medical Science May Solve 'Silent Sound1 Reaction Inside Body DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.PJ One of the fascinating scientific mysteries which medical science may solve in 1956 is what "silent sound" does inside the body. It produces heat, for one thing. Of that therQis no doifiot. It also Is capable of producing chemical and biological changes. Of that there is no doubt either. The big . - questions are, what changes at ) whaP intensities? "c;i , j - . j i. uuciib ouuitu auuuu UJ. aui.il high intensities, the human ear ftnt' hear it. The ear stopsohear oing when sound passes about 17,000 vibrations per second, ap proximately. Anything higher than 20,000 is "ultra-sound." AMA Has Reservations Spring 1955, ultri-sonic medi cine spread through the country. The American Medical Associa tion accepted it, with reserva tions. It has its enthusiasts but $238,080 In Taxes Paid For This Year o A total of $238,080.30 in prop erty for fiscal year 1955-56 was turned over last week to the county treasurer by Sheriff Howard Gault, ta collector. Of the total, $45,585.64 goes to the county; $31,063.87 to cities; $11,546.40 to irrigation districts; $129,898.72 to schools for operating expenses;- $14, 982.23 to school sinking funds; $108.95 to sanitary districts; $3, 885.58 to fire districts; and $908.91 to water districts. Fees totaling $913.12 were re ceived from the constable, ac cording to Treasurer Karl Jan ouch. . Also received were $4,566.57 from the county, engineer, and $629.01 from the county court's sale of tax-delinquent farms. there are many doctors who are frankly afraid of it. They're afraid because it rep resents an awesome power whose effects on the body are poorly understood. In industry, ultra-sound when coupled with abrasive materials will drill holes through steel. That re quires frequencies which np p r o a c h the astronomical they're ultra ultra-sonic. For medical purposes, ultra sound is produced with a top capacity of around 1,000,000 fre quencies per second. This is ac cepted as safe provided it is applied for short periods at one time and with careful regard for the general state of the patient. With this limited ultra-sound, doctors have been reporting some extraordinary results in relieving the pain and crippling of such diseases as arthritic and "other rheumatic conditions and such .diseases as bursitis. It should be understood that there have been no "cures." Heat Gives Results What gives these results is heat, according to the majority of professional opinion. The deep heat relieves pain, and in some cases, relieves symptoms. Short wave or micro-wave dia thermy and deep x-rays will cre ate deep heat, too, and will also relieve pain and symptoms in some cases. The trouble with them also is the trouble with ultra-sonics. Some patients do not respond at all and some re spond so little the result hardly is worth the trouble. Some scientists think that be cause the amount of heat safely limited ultra-sound can produce is small, it must have some other effect to have brought about some of its dramatic individual results. But in the words of Dr. Louis N. Rudin, of Baltimore, a' leading authority, "sufficient basic information is lacking re garding the exact mode of action on tissues." Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY Hollywood U.R) Actresses have, been bobbing their noses secretely for years, and now dancer Bobby Van admitted today his re cent television appear ance was with a brand new profile. Jan Sterling is among many show business Aline Mosby ladies who ad mittedly helped their careers by altering the nose. Until now the men haven't been- heard from. But Bobby, one of the bright young hoofers of TV, movies and stage, confessed that viewers who saw him dance on the "Ford Star Jubilee" on Saturday night were looking at a new Van Visage. Hindered Progress "I felt the old nose was hin dering my career," the dancer explained. "So I had the opera tion last April. I had to retire for three months while the swell ing went down. I did nightclubs all summer." Van's nose before the opera tion was large from having been broken twice when he was a boy. The proboscis photographed "with a bump, and this stopped me from doing a lot of things I wanted to." "When I was under contract at MGM they always gave me character parts," he said. "They didn't tell me it was my nose, but I think it could have been. I decided anything you can fix, you should. So after I closed on 'On Your Toes' on Broadway I went to the doctor." Bobby was awake during the 3V2-hour operation. When he took off the bandages week later, "I didn't know what to expect." A bobbed nose always looks rather small, but he fig ures it will take his fans time to become used to the new face. Career Boosted The new nose already has boosted the career of the 27-year-old Van, who's one of only two young male dancing stars (Don ald O'Connor is the other). Bob- y v " - .... .

Although Van is happy he im proved on nature, he doesn't rec ommend a new nose for tired businessmen. "If I were in any other busi ness I wouldn't have done this," he said. "I have a lovely wife. What could I need a new nose for? The operation is okay for women, I guess.- Many more women than men get their noses fixed."

In London, the Foreign Of fice said Britain's government "welcomes the declaration of the Sudanese parliament."
