a a Set to Leave Hospital With Part of Brain Removed OMAHA, Neb. (AP) A year-old Omaha man who underwent surgical removal of half of his cerebrum more than nine months ago apparently is about ready to leave the hospital. The cerebrum is the large upper part of the brain. Surgeons recently inserted a bone tantalum plate to replace during the the cap removed original operation. "The only thing holding up his release is a slight reaction to the plate," said Dr.

Aaron Smith, chief of the neuropsychological laboratory at the University of Nebraska College of Medicine. "Tantalum is less likely than other metals to irritate human 11 More Firms Go Fair Share In United Fund Eleven additional firms were added Sunday to those who pledged a fair share to the United Fund before Monday's official campaign launching.

The patient, who has been known in reports of the operation by the fictitious name of Ernest Coe, has survived longer than any known adult after a left hemispherectomy for a ignant tumor. Dr. Smith said Coe is continuing to improve.

"He is able to lift his right foot more, his comprehension continues to increase, his speech shows slight improvement and the use of his right hand is slightly the doctor said. "But the best news of all," he added, "is that there seems to be no return of the tumor." He said a neurosurgeon made a thorough examination during the operation to insert the plate and found no sign of cancer. The cause has attracted wide professional attention and "has done what we had hoped," said Dr Smith. "It has stirred traditional thinking into questioning whether these cases are really untreatable." Before the Coe case, it was generally felt that adults undergoing removal of the left the dominant hemisphere of the cerebrum because of a malignant tumor could not survive for any length of time. Nor was it believed that many functions which Coe can perform were possible following such surgery.

(AP) New York Paper Makes Debut After 140-Day Postponement NEW YORK (AP) A new paper makes its debut in New York on Monday with publication of the World Journal Tribune, 140 days late. The first -held up by a strike and other labor difficulties -will have an initial press run of 900,000. Mayor John V. Lindsay will push a button to start the presses. The afternoon and Sunday newspaper is a merger of the morning Herald Tribune, and afternoon Journal American and World Telegram Sun.

Frank Conniff is editor, Herbert Kamm is executive editor, and Richard Wald will edit the Sunday edition. Paul Schoenstein is managing editor and his assistant is Louis D. Boccardi. The new corporation originally had planned to continue publication of the Herald Tribune as its entry in the morning field, but the plans were dropped Aug.

15. The shutdown of the World Journal Tribune was the longest in the history of American journalism. The Newspaper Guild of New York struck the newspaper April 24, one day before scheduled publication of the merged newspaper. The Guild settled with the corporation on June 28. but the publication blackout continued because the paper had not reached agreement with all of the nine craft unions.

By Aug. 15, the day the Herald Tribune died, the paper had agreements with all unions except the pressmen. The pressmen settled on Aug. 26, but be- TENSION.
