HIS INJURY MAY YET BE CURED SYDNEY, Oct. 20. Partially paralysed through' an aeroplane crash last year, Colonel Brinsmead, Controller of Australian Civil Aviation, may be cured by a rare operation performed upon him. The delicate operation performed at Randwiek Military Hospital was another stngp in a long.fight for the complete recovery of Colonel Brinsmead. He was taken from the wrecked Royal Dutch air liner at Bangkok in December, suffering from crushed ribs, leg and abdominal injuries. The most serious of Colonel Brinsmead’s injuries was the damage which had been done to nerves controlling speech and the muscles of his left side. The joperation, if successful, will cause jlye nervPs controlling the affected a,rear to function and release the rigidness of the muscles.
