BLAKESLEE, Associated Press Science Editor. (Copyright, 1933, by the Associated Press.) NEW YORK, January 20 (#)—An infantile paralysis victim is not dis- qualified “to be King, Emperor, Presi- dent, executive—he is only unable to become the run champion,” said Dr. Adolf Lorenz, noted Vicnnese bloodless surgeon, on his arrival here today from Europe. The diséase, he said, instead of in- capacitating the brain at all, may even leave the patient with a keener sense of optimism. Groping now and then for precise English phrases, he discussed infantile paralysis as one topic in answer to the question: “What in modern medicine interests you most?” The other two were cancer and tuberculosis. Incurable at Present. “Infantile paralysis,” he sald, “is at present idcurable and all attempts to cure by serology therapy have failed. ~ We can do nothing but correct the pa- tient’s deformity by some kind of surgery, bloodless or open. “But this disease does not in the least affect mental qualities. It has absolutely nothing to do with the brain. A person stricken may get crooked | limbs, but will never gét a crooked brain. That means that his mental faculties will not be influenced at all.” “On what scientific grounds,” he was asked, “do you base these conclusions?” In reply the 79-year-old surgeon, his blue eyes snapping, his cheeks pink and round above a snow-white and curly beard, leaned forward, and a hand that might have been the mus- cular model for a forward-passing foot | ball star, shot out to emphasize the | points. “Because,” he explained, “I've seen thousands of them myself. For 52 years I have seen them. Never one was men- tally affected, never was there any sympton that had anything to do with incapacitating the brain. System Loses Virus. “When the disease is over, the virus which causes it is gone from the sys- tem, absorbed or eliminated. Some parts of the body may remain paralyzed, but the whole system otherwise is in absolute health so far as this disease is | concerned. These persons do not suf- fer any further infantile paralysis. “On the contrary, they tend to be | mostly hilarious characters”—Dr. Lorenz | paused to think of a more exact phrase—*“that is, more optimistic. They = bear their misfortunes with great | pilosophy. | “The person who has had infantile | paralysis could never be your run| champion. But he could be king, em- peror, president, executive, or whatever €lse needs like qualifications. “Finding a cure for infantile paraly- sis is not hopeless. When the virus is detected and studied it may be that | vaccination will be the way out. “But cancer is not as far advanced in prospects. It is remarkable that, in spite of all research, the question of cancer is still unsolved. The number of cases increases y Vienna | ome decades ago tuberculosis. Now it should be cslled‘ the city of cancer, because there are now much more ceses of cancer than of | tuberculosis. | “There is progress in cancer study, | rogress in reducing the tolls of tu- gerculosls and progress in infantile paralysis. This progress is what inter- ests me.” Nine years ago, at 70, Dr. Lorenz un- Famous Surg eon Arrives DR. LORENZ PAYS U. 8. ANOTHER VISIT. R.

A youth who is said to have stolen the car of an Army officer here after the latter had paid him $3 to clean it, was returned yesterday from Wilming- ton, Del, where he was arrested with the automobile. The prisoner, George McDonough, 19, 100 block of Pennsylvania avenue, was employed by Capt. Thomas L. Holland, U. S. A, to clean the automobile, and was paid in advance, it was said. Mc- Donough told. police he had taken the car to visit friends in Philadelphia, hoping to return it before the owner missed it Capt. Holland, who lives at 4453 Q street, accompanied Detective Frank M. Alligood to Wilmington yesterday to | get McDonough. derwent the Stelnach rejuvenation operation. This is not gland trans- plantation, but the tying off of one man's own glands so that it will more directly exercise whatever power it has upon the general health. “What do you think of the effects of he rejuvenation operation now, after nine years?” Dr. Lorenz was asked. "That they are good,” was the answer. “I believe such operatlons may be use- ful to men about 55 to 60 when they begin to decline.” Dr. Lorenz’s “rejuvenation operation,” his medical companions today ex- plained, was performed while he was at death's door, undergoing a major surgi- cal operation for a prostatic trouble. The rejuvenation, they said, was en- tirely secondary and minor.
