generation. It tends to show
up in people from 15 to 30
years of age. 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

versity of Chicago.

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.
