LONDON, June 11.-A British
doctor says he has found q way
to quiet pangs in phantom limbs
by stunning the nerve ends with
q mallet.
Physicians who work with am
putees have. long been troubled
by the problem. Their patients
often feel" pain in the missing
arm or leg. Sometimes the pain
is accompanied by spasmodic
twitchings of the stump.
DR.. w. Ritchies Russell, fellow
of the Royal College Of Physicians,
writing in the current British
Medical Journal. describes q treat
ment which he says has met
with success in numerous cases.

involving repeated percussion" "
or humping. of the nerve endings
In the stump. Sometimes periodic
pressure on these sensitive neuro-
mata, or nerve fibres, obtains the
same results.
DR.. Russell says the humping
can be administered with wooden
mallet or by means Of q mechan-
ical vibrator. This treatment
usually causes the pain In the
phantom limb" to disappear
within 10 minutes.

peated at least twice daily. but be-

Burmese Rebels Flee
Big Oil Town With
.LoyaIists Pursuing
By ne AAssescssd Prsss

RAEGOON. Burma. June Ii
Communists and diSsident PvO
forces fed In full retreat across
the Irrawaddy River tonight from
Yenangyaung. Burma's biggest oil
town. with government troops IN
hot pursuit.
The diSsident White Band PvO
Peoples Volunteer Organization
forces and Communists who held
the oil town since last March were
pried out and chased across the
river toward the Minbu oil center.
20 miles 10 the south. the army
announced, Government forces
seized large quantities OF arms
and ammunition and liberated 1877
Kachin soldiers imprisoned by the.
rebels when they took Yenang-
yaung last March. the announce
ment said.
Town Occupied by PvOs.
Yenangyaung. on the east bank
of the Irrawaddy, $50 miles north
of Rafgoon. had been occupied by
PVOs for the announced purpose
of protecting the town from Karen
rebels. The Karens represent an
other facet OF Burma's many
sided civil war. battling for an in
dependent state. At the time the
Karens had been on a northward
march from their central head
quarters at Toungoo. $50 miles
north Of Rangoon.
Later, Communists joined the
PVO's and established a joint rebel
administration. imprisoning gov
ernment officials and publicly exc
cutting those who opposed rebel
rule.
Unofficial reports from Yenang-
yaung said the rebels. before they
fed. shot down five members of
the Burma Oh Company's moving
picture unit which had been tour
ing the oil fields. Three were said
to have survived with serious
wounds. Four Of the unit were
Burmese and ths other an Anglo
Indian.
Earnings Confiscated.
The British -owned Burma Oil
Co. has large oil fields in Yenang-
yaung. During the rebel occupa-
ton 1t was allowed to continue
operating, but its earnings were
confiscated. The wives and fam
lilies Of British oil field personnel
were evacuated earlier in the year.
To the southwest. the Karen
rebels were reported active. An
Army spokesman said 800 Karens
attempted to cross the Sittang
River and capture Waw. strategic
town 36 miles northeast Of Ran
COON. The spokesman said Com
munists from the opposite hank
opened fire on the Karens who
rode roughly constructed boats.
He said all the boats were sunk.
Recent official reports here have
said the Communists were collab-
Grating with the" government
against the Karens on the Central
Burma front. At other times there
had been reports that Communists
had been aiding the Karens in
some actions.

production and raising their stand
ards Of living.
It Is fair to say that the Euro
pean recovery program has halted
the social and economic disints-
grafton which threatened the coun-
tries OF western Europe with COM
munisn and civil strife.
Stilf I'm Early Stages.
Nevertheless, the European re-
covery program Is still in its early
stages. At the outset 1t was esti-
mated that 1t would take four years
before these countries could again
become independent of special eco
nomic aid. Only little more than
one year has passed since we began.
II We were to falter now and cut
down Our aid. the momentum Of
recovery would be destroyed. The
people of these countries would be
thrown into confusion and their
advance toward economic self-reli-
ance would be blocked. A slash In
the funds available for European
recovery at this time would be the
worst kind 'of sfalse economy. It
would cancel the hopes and the
plans Of the western European na-
tions. It would be q greatsgain for
communism.
AIN confident we shall not make
this mistake.
Our concern with the economic
health Of the world also extends
to its under developed regions. The
prospects for peace win be i'm
measlTably brighter II we can offer
a future of hope and q better life
to the people Of these regions. In
these areas there are millions who
for centuries have known nothing
but exploitation and poverty, and
whose economic life is still primi-
tive.
I have offered O program for
bringing these people the benefits
of our modern civilization. 1t Is
not q program Of relief, while 1t
is intended ultimately TO bring
about q great movement Of capital
through the channels of private in
vestment for the development Of
these poverty-stricken regions. 1t is
not . program Of imperialism. The
development Of these areas offers
enormous potential benefits TO q
growing world economy.
Must Lay Foundations.
We have to lay the foundations
for this program with care. I ex-
pect shortly to send to the Con-
gress recommendations for einitial
legislation. This will be but the
first step Of many that we shall
take, over Che years TO come, In
this cooperative effort to better the
living standards and to unlock the
human skills and the natural re-
sources Of the under developed
parts Of the globe.
The third condition essential for
peace is an international structure
capable Of suppressing interna-
tional violence However well con-
ceiyed our ecohomic programs may
be, they cannot succeed unless there
Is some assurance against the OUT
break Of aggression. Neither our
own prosperity nor the prosperity
of other nations can survive unless
we can protect the operations Of
economic life from the threat Of
war.
Such protection depends on two
factors. First, there must be con-
slant efforts by all nations to ad-
just their differences peacefully.
Second, there must be an agree
ment. among nations to employ
overwhelming force against armed
aggression.
The United Nations is o valuable
instrument for accomplishing these
ends. It has already achieved the
peaceful settlement of difiicult Is
sues. It has stopped hoStilities in

affiict the world.
Much Left 10 He Dene.
Much remains to b& done. how
ever. to carry out the principles Of
the United Nations. Within the
terms OF the United Nations char
ter, we and certain other countries
have undertaken to provide greater
assurance against the danger Of
armed conflict. That Is the pur-
pose OF the North Atlantic treaty,
The idea behind this treaty-the
association of democratic nations
for mutual defense-is well under
stood in this country. Perhaps we
do not understand. however. the i'm
portance Of this pact in the eyes OF
the other democratic nations which
are parties TO it. They have been
greatly weakened by the war. They
have been haunted by the fear OF
again becoming the scene Of con-
f1ict. BY assuring them OF our sup
port the pact goes q long way 10
dispel their fears.
have been greatly heartened by
the unanimous report Of the For
eign Relations Committee OF the
Senate this past week in favor OF
the North Atlantic treaty. be-
lieve that 1t will soon be passed by
an overwhelming majority In the
Senate. The effect of this action
will be. immediate and far-reaching
In allaying the fears which have
retarded economic recovery in Eu-
rope.
1t Is Of vital importance that the
Atlantic pact be followed by a pro-
gram of military aid to increase
the effective strength of the free
nations against aggression. This
military assistance program-based
upon mutual help-will give addi-
tional confidence to the people Of
those nations as they continue 10
rebuild their economies.
VIII Bring Stability.
These measures will bring q sta
oility to the democratic nations OF
Europe which has not existed since
the end of the war. They viii at
the same time contribute directly
to the security Of the United States.
I have discussed the three essen
tial elements OF lasting peace
a strong and prosperous United
States; @ strong and prosperous
community OF free nations; an in
ternational organization capable OF
preventing aggression.
We have given greatly Of our
effort and our strength to build q
firm and enduring foreign policy
upon these essentials. The burdens
we have had to assume in this en-
terprise have been unusual. The
size OF the national budget shows
that we are engaged in an under
taking without parallel in the his
tory of our country or OF the world.
But the goal we seek is great
one, and worth the price. Never
has o Nation had the opportunity
which we have today to do 80 much
for the peace and prosperity Of
mankind. Never has O Nation had
better chance Of reaching this
high goal.
We must not falter now. We
must not defeat our own efforts by
doing only half the job that lies
before us.
The brave men. whose memory
we honor here, did all that was re-
auirede of them. They did not fail
hs, We must not fail them In our
efforts to reach the goal Tor which
they died.
We must press on in the conf
dence that we will succeed In the
mission a divine providence has
assigned to us.

TRACKING THE AWFUL EYE

Mans great invention radar- will
play greater role this season in tracking
that mysterious force Of natnrea hurri-
cane. s.ts
As Key Westers may recall, the radar
station at Boca Chica last year kept in
touch with the two hurricanes, when they
were 100 miles or so away, that passed
close to Key West ON the easterly side.
The Air Force weather detachment in
South Florida has announced that THE
|Navy,s radar station at B0ca, Chica has
been augmented by, a new Air Force unit
at Orlando. , ssi5 II ,sa. J" Il
Last year the Boca Chica radar pick
ed up the centers of the two hurricanes
as they passed the coast of, Cuba and iss,i-
ed bulletins at frequent intervals that La
ter proved to be correct. At one time, dur
ing the second hurricane, report made
the rounds of the town that thecenter was
showing a tendency to veer northeasterly
but the Boca schca radar operators an
nounced that it was keeping it's course
toward Key West and would pass slightly
to the east. That report turned out to be
correct
The radar operators scotched an
other rumor about the l947 hurricane that
struck Miami and day and one-half
later devastated the shore line at New Or
leans. After the center had struck Miami.
reports reached here that it was headed
toward Key West, but the radar- picked
up the center when it came out into the
sea in the vicinity Of Fort Myers, and the
operators said that it WAS moving in a
northwesterly course away from Key
West. And it continued in that course, as
in a groove, till it struck New Orleans.
No other thing is as certain as radar
in determining the course of hurricane
when it comes within the range of radar
beams.
Radar, a wonderful invention deals
efficiently with Nature in her ugliest
mood-the hurricane. that is, consider
ing the duration of its sustained power, in
keeping track of the awful "eye' that de-
termines the course hurricane will pur-
sue.
