Determination of Victim and Care
ful Tutoring Accomplishes
Remarkable Feat.
(By The Associated Press)
OMAHA, Nebraska—The “do or
die” determination of a 9-year-old
infantile paralysis victim, coupled
with painstaking volunteer tutoring
by two Omaha oral expression teac
bers, has accomplished what medi
cal science doubted ever would be
achieved.
Once able to utter only three
sounds of the 48 used in normal
speech, Billy Coleman, 9, son of
Allen E. Coleman, East Omaha un
employed carpenter, now speaks
almost as well as normal children.
Billy was stricken with infantile
paralysis when he was 11 months
old. When he was 6, a phychiatrist
found he had the intelligence of a
child of eight.
“He worked so hard to control
his muscles that his whole body
writhed, sweat pouring from him,”
said Miss Alice Liljegren, one of his
teachers.
“We had to shorten our instruc
tion period, he worked so strenu
ously.”
NEWEST NOTES OF
SCIENCE
It has been officially estimated
that drought has reduced this
year’s rice crop in Japan about 19
percent below the five year aver
age.
A Diesel engined tugboat has been
installed in a Colombian river
that hauls itself against swift cur
rents by winding in a cable with
a winch.
Magnesium is the only known
metal that is not obtained from or
es, being pumped in the form of
brine from wells in the United
States and Germany.
From small models of animals
made in Africa, their native habi
tat, scientists are constructing full
size images for exhibition in San
Francisco.
By the end of this year more ves
sels will have been launched from
the Clyde shipyards than in any
year since 1930.
Overcomes Fault
Of Paralysis In
Speech Is Normal
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, — One thousand
hours per year has been set by the
Commerce Department as the maxi
mum to be flown by first pilots on
scheduled air transport routes.
Following a conference with rep
resentatives of scheduled air line
operators, air line pilots and the
Aero Medical Association, Eugene
L. Vidal, director of Air Commerce,
announced regulations governing
the length of time first pilots may
fly on transport routes.
Under the regulations, pilots may
fly 100 hours per month, but not for
more than four consecutive months.
The average was set at 83 hours per
month. Old regulations permitted
110 hours.
Fliers also will be given a medical
examination every three months to
determine their fitness. In the past
they were examined every six
months.
Vidal said the reduction in maxi
mum flying hours per month is sig
nificant, since there is an entirely
opposite trend in various European
countries to increase flying hours of
first pilots on scheduled air lines.
He added, however, that the
change in maximum hours was
made in the interest of public safe
ty and not because of labor and
personnel problems.
