Calif., Jun 3 AV 11 pay to rebuild war-dam aged veteran to mailt part-men wnole again. The navy ha flf urn to prov It, baaed on 2000 amputee who have passed through It rehabilitation cenu-rs at the Mara Uland naVy yard here for veteran who loat arm and leg In combat. "We have found that W per cent of the men trained her to us ar tificial arm and leg are employed and have mad a readjustment to civilian life," a a Id Commander Thomas J. Canty of Milwaukee, Wl.. officer In charge of th ampu tee center. ' "About five per cent are having difficulties and require further hoa pltal treatment. The remaining five per cent are failure men who simply have given up." . Canty aald that each failure would represent a lifetime ool. to th government of (70.000 to 1100. 000. I .Well Worth While "Bo it has proved well worth while to the taxpayer." he aald. "to pend the few thousand dollar nec essarv to rehabilitate th average amputee and restore him to a pro ductive place In civilian life. "Aside from th financial aspect, of course, this training gives him back his life hi self-respect. And our boys are doing well In every walk of life." w . A former marine major who lost a leg In air combat I running an air line In Southern California. A legless marine sergeant la studying agriculture In a Texas college. A marine private who lost a leg above the knee is a buUdoter. They are typical of the amputee school grad uates who are making good. Because civilian manufacturers were unable to upply them with th qualitv of artificial arms and leg they felt were necessary, navy officers set up tlielr own factory here. Now it Is the largest In the country. rThe artificial limb business In America really was begun by am nutee veterans after the Civil war." said Commander Canty.'and since then only minor Improvements were nude." By substituting aluminum for atael and plastics tor wood, the navy has managed to build a mors flex ible artificial leg and cut the weight from 13 to IS pounds down to five to seven pounds. A late model now being experimented with even I. strapless auction holds It to the leg stump. tost Cat "Through mass production we've cut th co.it of making an artificial leg to t73.ll." said Canty. "In small commercial shops it would cost $360 to 1300." The 'hew legs emit no embar rassing creak, and are well-balanced. The old model artificial foot made of wood with a split toe ha been Replaced by on that has a wooden base, felt toe and sponge rubber sol to reduc Jarring. Th Improvement In artificial hands has been ever more note worthy, thanks partly to an Ingeni ous new device by an Inventive sail or which permits pulley-controlled metal fingers to.grlp and flex like a human hand. The metal fingers are covered by a glovelike plastic which the eye can hardly tell from flesh. We even put hair on th back ot the plastic hand to make It look more lifelike," said Canty. Each artificial leg and arm la In dividually tailored to the patient by the surgeon and limb fitter. The whole staff Is particularly proud of one young veteran who had loat both leg below the knee In combat. He quickly learned to dance a well a walk on hi two new legs. Then." said Canty oroudly, "he went out and won a Jitterbug contest."
