ATLANTIC CITY, June l3.-
Complete removal of both adrenal
glands, an operation which may
constitute one of the most remark
lable surgical triumpns Of this gen.
Grafton, was announced to the
american Medical Association here
last night.
The operation, described by DR..
Charles B. Higgins and DR.. D. M.
lBergenstall of the University Of
Chicago. is to produce remission
Iof cancer Of the prostate, which
kills 5 per cent Of all men over SO
land causes / per cent Of all cancer
deaths In the country.
The men whose adrenals have
been removed. eight in all, have
had apparently complete remis-
sion of all symptoms of prostate
cancer for some months and have
remained in excellent health. They
are kept going on one or two
tablets per day of cortisone, the
recently isolated adrenal secretion
which has proved of great value

IditionS.
Called "Motor of Life"
The adrenal glands have some
times been called "the motor Of
life" They are masses OF tissue.
each about the size of a silver dol
lar, located just above each kid
ney. From them is secreted an
unknown number Of potent body
chemicals, or hormones which gem
orally have been considered es-
sential to life.
Among them are adrenalin and
noradrenalin which constitute the
body's spare motor in the emer-
gencies of life; a hormone which
is apparently necessary for the
systems salt metabolism: one lack
of the formerly fatal anenia
known as Addison's disease; vari-
Gus others which play an impor-
tant part in all sex functions:
cortisone itself, and at least IS
others whose function remains
unknown.
Now, it appears from this op-
Grafton. cortisone alone can take
the place, at least temporarily, of
all the others. There still Is no
way of telling how long this will
last. The Oldest cases are only a
few months old, but there have
been no signs of repression to date.
Last Chance Operations.
The operations were performed
only as "last chances" The VIC
tins appeared to be in the last
stages of prostate cancer and were
in such pain that they were kept
under constant opiates. They had
declined to skin and bones, lost
all appetite, and were long since
past the stage where they could
carry on any activity.
Some years ago DR.. Higgins and
his associates devised a sex gland
operation which brought tenn
porary remission to many prostate
cancer victims. The condition Is
undoubtedly due In part to some
sex gland imbalance. Almost In
variably, after few months or
years, the cancer returned and
the patients usually were worse OF
than before. The operation had
been a last hope, until the adrenal
removal was attempted.
Now the victims have had an
other complete remission. They
are free of pain and have gone
back to work. They have excel
lent appetites. They appear in
excellent physical condition after

ness Of the adrenals to the kidneys
and the apparently close physi-
illogical connection indicates that
the glands may be the real Of
tenders.
The great surprise of DR.. Hug
gins operations was that corti-
some should prove such a complete
replacement for everything the
adrenals secrete. The patients
show only a slightly abnormal
craving for salt.
DR.. Higgins does not claim a
cure.

Secretary Pace on the military
situation Of his command. These
reports say that he forcefully
pointed out that in view OF
the fact that America is called
to bear the brunt Of the
Korean campaign, since our
allies are not capable Of increas-
ing their military effort, more
American troops would be needed
before long to bolster the pres
ent forces.
These same reports say Gen.
Macarthur told his civilian su-
perior that he merely expressed
a sound military view when he
suggested the use Of Chinese
Nationalists In the present Far
Eastern war. But he considered
the prohibition against stra-
tegic use of the Air Force-that
Is to say. bombardment Of the
enemy where 1t will hurt the
most-as definite interference
with successful prosecution Of
the war.
Gen. Macarthur was given a
number of ground troops, planes
and naval vessels by American
and the United Nations and told
to defeat the aggressors. He de-
feated the North Koreans, the
original aggressors. Now that
the Chinese Communists have
been branded officially the ag-
gressors by the United Nations,
his general directives had not
changed. But the prohibition
on use of the Air Force against
the enemy's military installa-
tions and lines of communication
made 1t impossible to accom-
plisfl his assigned mission.
Gen. Macarthur also is re-
ported to have brought force
fully to the attention Of the
Army Secretary that the conse-
quences Of this interference with
major strategy might have
direct results, not only insofar
as American casualties are con-
cerned. but also on the overall
strategy Of the struggle against
world communism, spearheaded
by Moscow.
These views Of Gen. MacAr-
thur have been known for some
time to the White House and

ties were able to handle the sit
uation by urging Gen. Mac

Now that Gen. MacArthur's

Administration Is on Defensive
Lack Of Confidence in Presidents Leadership
Extends Down the Line. Even to MiIitou

The Truman Administration
Is on the defensive on a wide
front and it has nowhere devel-
oped either the leaders or the
technique for an effective coun-
ter-o offensive.
An exception is the house,
cleaning being done by Sena-
tors Fulbright, Kefauver, Doug
las. Lyndon johnson and others.
But its political effect has been
largely dissipated by President
.Truman's stubborn refusal to
admit that even the least of his
entourage, no matter how neg
ligible their usefulness to him,
can do wrong.
Influential Democrats who be-
lieve that the party's attain
ments are substantial and cred
liable for these difficult times
are frankly apprehensive as the
presidential campaign nears and
the partisan skirmishing grows
In scope and intensity. They
are having difficulty, however,
In making either the White
House or National Committee
identify the problem.
They think they see it plainly
"a lack of confidence in the
Presidents leadership which is
gradually being extended down

whoever he might be or Of
whatever political party - who
also is Commander Chief of
our armed forces and Com
mander-in-C Chief also of Gen.
eral Macarthur.
This is a free country-but
there are certain proprieties.
Why is Joe Martin writing let
ters to a general in the field
under orders?
The answers appear obvious.
His letter was the overt act, at
long last, to signify something
that has been going on around
here a long time. That is that
an element of the Republican
Party was using Gen. Macarthur
to strike at the President of the
United States. That mixes
politics into management of our
foreign policy at a critical time
and at what would seem
dangerous risk to our national
interests.
1t fed the generals ego
and SO he acquiesced with that
political naivete which is often
also the attribute of military
men. The general also was being
used by those in the Republican
Party who are jealous of Gen.
Eisenhower as a possible poll
tical figure.
When you analyze the Mac
Arthur disciples in the Republic
can Party you encounter a
strange psychosis. It might be
called lingo isolationism. It
withdraws now, as before the
last war, from sound and logi-
cal policies designed to buttress
ourselves around the world
against encroachment of dicta-
tors, including the cultivation of
friends and allies, and yet goes
off in a weird and dizzy dream
of a crusade against the whole
continent of Asia. There is a
sort of Genghis Khan atmos-
phere about it, with panoplied
legions, pipes and timbrels.

Chinese Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek, who has been rejected
by his own people.
OF course there would be no
panoplied legions riding bright
ly accoutered steeds and carry
ing spears and long swords, but
American doughboys, trudging
right into the Third World War.
Military men generally-except
Gen. MacArthur-see it as i'm
possible and tragic.
And, here at home, while this
dream is being nurtured, those
who conjure it up are opposing
solid and substantial moves to
make ourselves strong, including
universal military training, and
are alternating our allies of the
Western world who, after all,
must be our chief reliance.
Against UNIT they raise the
argument that it would give too
much power to the military. Yet
they were building UP a glamor-
Gus military figure to the size
where he boldly challenged the
civilian head of our Govern
ment. the President of the
United States.
It gets down to as simple as
that-a dangerous blow TO our
traditional civilian control.
At an appropriate time, Presi-
dent Polk summarily removed
"Old Fuss and Feathers" Scott.
President Lincoln was very pa
tient with Gen. Mcclellan, who
looked good on paper but could

some magic way of erasing the
Pacific and the Asiatic strong
holds from the map and per-
suading the military chiefs Of
the Communist regime politely
to give up any idea Of attack
ing us from that quarter OF the
globe when war comes.
High officers Of our Navy, it
can be stated positively, say
that. while Gen. Macarthur has
not always selected the most
tactful way to express himself,
fundamentally he was 100 per
cent right when he declared
America must be sure Of win
ming the war now in Asia or
else Europe will be lost, too.
Gen. Macarthur was right in
1912, and he was right again in
arguing for due attention to the
Pacific and most of all against
any abject surrender or COM
promise in Asia that means the
same thing militarily. He was
arguing for the mothers and
fathers Of the boys enlisted to-
day in the United States Navy
who again will bear the brunt
of any such attacks. He was
arguing for the 250,000 men Of
our Army and Air Force now

sensational plea against mis-
understanding OF the funda-
mentals Of global strategy.

Behind MocArthur's letters
We've Had Generals Before Who Wrote EpistIe
But Why Did Joe Martin Enter the Lists?

We've had letter-writing gen.
erals before.
There was General Winfield
Scott who wrote embittered let
ters about President Polk. "Old
Fuss and Feathers" with his
plumed hat and gorgeous sashes,
was unsuccessfully running for
President while he was sue
cessfully running the Mexican
War.
There was General George B.
Mcclellan, who wrote embittered
personal letters about President
Lincoln, but privately to his
wife. He was running unsuc-
cessfully for President while un-
successfully running a war.
General Douglas Macarthur
matches the other two in the
overweening ego that seems to
go with some military tempera-
ments. He is a successful gen.
eral, admittedly so, ambitious
also for something or other. vim
dication or martyrdom, though
obviously not for the presidency.
That was tried once--in 1948.
Now the general is too old.
But we have a new factor in
this modern replica of past his
tory which has been generally
overlooked.
Why has nobody gone back
OF Gen. Macarthur and inquired
into the propriety of the inspira-
ton for his latest epistle, which
brought his dismissal?
Reference is to the letter from
representative Joseph w. Mar
tin of Massachusetts, to General
Macarthur. Joe Martin is
leader Of the Republican Party
In the House, and high in it's
councils generally. He is a for
mer Speaker of the House. It

officer of our Government, he
would look to the civilian head

sident Of the United States
