14 A TUESDAY, JANUARY 8. 1963 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDTORD, OREGON Substance Found For Injection Into Vocal Cords By DELOS SMITH ' UPI Science Editor New YorMJPU-Dr. Godfrey E. Arnold, a leader of scicn. liflc clforts to restore good working voices to poor-voiced and voiceless human beings, believes the ideal substance for injection into vocal cords has been found. It is, of all things, one of the tetrafluoro ethylene plastics well known by the trade-name, "Teflon, and widely used for many pur poses. In this naw and highly humane use, it is mixed with glycerin which makes it a paste that can be easily in jected in relatively simple surgery. Many speech disorders orig inate in the failure of the vocal cords to come together in that area of the larynx called the glottis, '.his failure can be due to a number of things but usually there is Half-Sizer Young 9352 12W-22V4 Wear it (o town, on cruise, anywhere this sleek sheath is 'Jeweled' with smart looking pin ti cks.

If the cords won't readily close and part as they vibrate, if becomes extremely difficult and even impossible to form and project intelligible sounds. The voice is squeaky and weak and the victim for prac tical purposes is often voice less. When you inject something into a cord with a paralyzed nerve you broaden and thick en it. This sometimes permits it to close against its mate and this will restore speech. What to inject has been the scientific problem. Chemically Tolerable It must stay where it is put for the life of the person, and so it must be chemically tolerable to body tissues and at the same time it should prevent body tissues absorb ing it. And it has to be of fine composition so it can be injected. Various substances have been tried and found wanting for one reason or another. Arnold reported to a techni cal organ of the American Medical Association that "Tef lon powder mixed with gly cerin seems to be what he and his colleagues have been looking for. He is clinical director of the Nntionul Hospital for Speech Disorders and head of the department of research at New York Eye and Ear infirmary. He reported hew it has been tried out exhaus tively in animals and then in a large number of patients with uniform success. "There may be hoarseness during the first postoperative day," he said. "Thereafter the voice improves rapidly, soon showing the beneficial effects of the operation. The patient begins to talk with a better voice. It is louder, fuller, clearer and more pleasant." Not Whole Answer Injection is by no means the whole answer to voice disorders, he emphasized. Be fore the technique is even considered there should be positive proof that the voice disorder Is due to deficient closing of the vocal cords. Even then it should nut be used before all possible attempts at vocal rehabilita tion by voice therapy have been made. As Is well known. he continued, many persons can overcome vocal disorders by learning how to compen sate with the larynx and to exploit the ability to hear one's voice and then correct its deficiencies. "Injection should not be considered before six months have elapsed since the onset of laryngeal paralysis," he said. "Spontaneous recovery is possible within this .line.

Significant Milestones During 19S2 Noted by Air Force Space Division Los Angeles - (UPD - The Air Force Space Systems Di vision noted today it achieved "many significant milestones" during 1962 in launching over 90 per cent of the nation's space probes and satellites. The division, commanded by Maj. Gen. Beni. Funk, re ported that by working with the nation's leading aerospace industries it had made a nota ble contribution to the United States space program. SSD has primary responsi bility for the development and launching of space boost ers, integrating payload with the boosters and tracking of payloads into orbit. It listed the most significant space achievements during 1962 as: Feb. 20: The first Ameri can was launched into orbit atop an Air Force Atlas space booster from Cape Canaveral, Fla. The astronaut, Marine Lt. Col. John Glenn, was recov ered after landing safely in the Atlantic Ocean in his Mercury capsule. He orbited the earth three times. Feb. 27: The Air Force launched its Discoverer 38 in to polar orbit from Vanden bcrg AFB, Calif. The space capsule was caught in the air by a C130 aircraft on March 3 after it had passed around the earth 65 times. This set a new orbit record for a capsule. April 23: The Ranger 4 spacecraft was sent on a col lision course for the moon, impacting on the far side of the lunar body April 26. This was the first time a U. S. spacecraft had reached the moon. May 24: Astronaut Scott Carpenter followed Glenn into orbit in a repeat performance of the historic flight. Carpen ter's Mercury capsule was boosted into orbit by an Air Force Atlas. The launch, three orbits, and recovery were successfully accomplish ed. Aug. 15: Under Secretary of the Air Force Dr. Joseph V. Charyk announced the suc cessful flight of Agena D. The new Agena D Is an Air Force program to develop a stand ard upper stage space vehicle. It can be launched atop an Atlas or Thor standard launch vehicle. Aug. 26: An Air Force At-las-Agena B launched a Mari ner 2 "Venus Fly By" space craft for the National Aero nautics and Space Administra tion. Mariner 2 successfully passed within 21,000 miles of Venus where special instru ments radioed back to earth vital information about the mysterious cloud - covered planet. Oct. 3: Astronaut Walter Schirra became the third American to go into orbit as he rode his Sigma 7 Mercury space capsule for six orbits around the earth. Launched atop an Air Force Atlas, he was successfully recovered from the Pacific Ocean. Oct. 31: A friendly "Wink ing Star" satellite called Anna was launched by an Air Force Thor-Ablestar space booster from Cape Canaveral. The Thore Ablestar placed Anna into one of the most precise orbits ever attained by a sat ellite. The mission of the 335 pound sphereical Anna was to provide data and meas urements on the shape of the earth more accurately than ever before. Oct. 31: The Air Force re ported it would develop an Atlas standardized space launch vehicle (SLV3). Devel opment of a standard Atlas is in keeping with the current Air Force program to stand ardize all space launch vehi cles. Standardizing of the At las will eliminate many pro duction and launching prob lems resulting in lower long term costs. Nov. 13: The Air Force an nounced it had launched the world's smallest satellite, known at a Tetrahedral Radi ation Satellite The pyramid shaped satellite, weighing only 1.5 pounds, was small enough to hold in the hand. Its mission to send back data on the 3,700 mile Van Allen radiation belt. Nov. 14: Mariner 2 set a new long distance communi-1 cation record when useable scientific information was re- i ceived from the spacecraft at a distance of over 17 million miles. Nov. 29: Ground was offi-1 cially broken at Edwards , AFB, Calif., for a new rocket i engine test facility described by Air Force as "the most sophisticated and highly in-1 strumented test facility in the ! world." The facility will in-' elude the largest thrust stand for solid motors built to date. Dec. 18: An Air Force Blue j Scout boosted a Navy Tran- j sit 5A satellite into orbit from Point Arguello, Calif. This was the first, time a Transit payload was launched by a Blue Scout. Also in December. A suc cessful launch of a Thor from Vandenberg AFB, marking the 100th launch of a U. S. space vehicle by the versa tile Air Force Thor space booster. In 93 of the 100 launches, the Thor first stage performed successfully. Did You Know...
