There may be tremors, with cirrhosis of the liver, and abnormalities of the pigment in the eyes. One of the main abnormalities in this disease seems to be in the body's handling of copper. As a result, copper tends to ac cumulate in the nerves and several of the tissues of the body. The sufferer may de velop digestive troubles, plus Parkinson's syndrome (a pok er face, stiff muscles, and shaking palsy) plus what looks like a bit like St. Vitus dance. Naturally, efforts are now being made to cut down on the amount of copper in the food of the children, who have inherited tendency, and to get out of the body some of the copper that has been taken in. Research on the di sease is being done by Drs. i Andre Barbeau, and Richard Reilly, in Montreal, and Jo seph B. Klrsner, in the Uni versity of Chicago.

Mental Retardation Due to Rare Chimical in Blood For several years now, ex perts on mental retardation have become ever more inter- ested in a form of men t a 1 retarda tion in which the infant is a p p a r ently born normal, but soon be gins to lose i n telligence because his oh ai v,hk.7 little brain is more and more poisoned by a lt I 'i.V i Winston Churchill Spends Good Night London (UPD Sir Winston Churchill may have to spend his 86th birthday in a sick bed but except for his age the doctors were not too worried about the broken bone in his back. 'Britain's elder statesman was reported to be suffering some pain and discomfort but still maintaining his cheerful mood. He was being treated at his Hyde Park Gate home in Lon ton's fashionable West End where he slipped on a rug and injured his back Tuesday. Sir Winston s secretary said today the statesman had a very good night and is resting in bed." Churchill, who will be 86 Nov. 30, is no stranger to ill ness. He has beaten it in one form or another since a bout with pneumonia at the age of eight. Discoverer XIII Burns Up Oyer Sea Bedford, Mass. -rtlPO- Amer ica's Discoverer XIII satellite has burned up over the Pa cific ocean. The Air Force's National Space Surveillance Control Center here said in a state ment Wednesday that "esti mates of decay placed the burn-up Monday somewhere in the South Pacific. "This took place during the end of the satellite's 1,498th or at the beginning of its 1,499th revolution about the globe since it was launched Aug. 10, 1960." Discoverer XIII carried the first capsule to be recovered from space. The Air Force said that 15 American satellites and one of Soviet origin still are orbiting. The center said also that the rocket body which boost ed the Explorer VIII into or bit last week is circling the earth in the same orbit as the satellite. chemical called a phenylke tone, which is formed in the body because of the child's failure to have inherited a ferment which, in all normal persons, splits a substance In the food called phenylala nine. If something isn't done to cut down on the amount of phenylalanine in the diet, by the time the child is 2 or 3 years old he is likely to be pretty much of an idiot, overly active, restless, irrit able and destructive. He may have some convulsions. The disease runs through families, and hence in such families every child born should quickly be tested. The defect now can be recognized in a minute by dropping on the child's diaper a drop of a 10 per cent solution of ferric chloride. If the child has the trouble, there appears a blue- green or gray - green color which soon fades. There is another test that can be made with the urine for phenylpy- ruvic acid. If negative, the test should be repeated a few times because in from 5 to 10 per cent of cases it does not work well. If a good children's special ist (pediatrician) is in charge and has recognized the di sease, he will cut down on the amount of phenylalanine in the diet so that the child's brain will not be badly in jured. This treatment must be begun in the first few weeks of life. Research on this disease is being done by Drs. Phyllis B. Acosta and Willard R. Bentcr wall of the College of Medical Evangelists in Los Angeles. Wilson's Disease There is a rare (Wilson's) disease which runs through some families.
