BULLET IN HEAD FOR 32 YEARS COUGHED OUT
(11a.m.) LONDON, May 13. A bullet embedded for 32 years in the head of Mr. Archie Durrans, a millworker of Huddersfield, dropped into his mouth while he was coughing today. He was wounded in France in 1917, the bullet entering his head through his left cheek. Surgeons considered that an operation would be too dangerous, and believed that the bullet would never move. Mr. Durrans suffered a lot of headaches in the past 32 years.
