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.

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-

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."

British, Egypt Honor Sudan Plans
Cairo (U.R) Egypt and
Britain promised today to re
spect the Sudanese parliament's
decision to make a "fully sov
ereign republic" of the spraw
ling territory south of here
which had been jointly governed
by the two countries for the past
56 years.
Interior Minister Zakaria
Mohieddin expressed hope that
Egypt and the Sudan will be
able to wqrk together as "bro
therly peoples desirous of main
taining mutual friendship with
in the framework of national
freedom."
In London, the Foreign Of
fice said Britain's government
"welcomes the declaration of the
Sudanese parliament." A spokes
man said Britain and Egypt are
consulting on means of closing
out the joint administration of
the area.
In Khartoum, the Sudanese
capital, huge crowds gathered
to cheer the parliamentary dec
laration of independence.
