tions, DR.. Oudot explained:
II am going to inject novocain
into your femoral and brachial
arteries"
Explanation by Feel.
AS I could not see a thing with
the bandage over my eyes. he
touched the places where he
would insert the needle: both
groins and in the bends Of my
elbow.
"It's going to hurt. Perhaps
I shan't get the right place first
shot. But in any case you
mustn't move, particularly when
I have got into the artery"
I was not at all treasured by
these preparations: I had always
had a horror of injections. But
it would have to be done, it was
the only thing possible.
Go ahead" I said to DR..
Oudot, "but warn me when you
are going to stab"
DR.. Oudot ran his fingers over
my skin. I felt an acute pain
in the groin and my legs began
to tremble; I tried to control
myself.
He had to try again, for the
artery rolled away from the
needle. Another stab, and my
whole body was seized with con-
vulsions; I stiffened when I
should have relaxed, and felt all
my nerves in revolt.
"Gently!" I could not help
myself.
Blood CIots in Needle.
DR.. Oudot began again: my
blood was extremely thick and
clotted in the needle.
That's got it!" This time he
had succeeded in spite Of my
howls which. I knew very well,
made the operation all the more
difficult to perform. The needle
was now in position:
Don't novel" Oudot shouted
at me.
Ichac passed him the syringe:
I felt the needle moving in my
flesh and the liquid began to
flow into the artery. ] should
never, until then, have believed
so much pain to be possible.
| I tried to brace myself to the
utmost to keep myself from
trembling: It simply had to be
successful! The liquid went on
flowing in.
"Can you feel any warmth?"
asked Oudot, brusquely, while he
was changing the syringe. Again
the liquid went in: I gritted my
teeth.
Does it feel warm?"
The All-Important Question.
Oudot was insistent-the point
was evidently crucial; yet still ]
felt nothing. Several times the
syringe was emptied, filled up,
and emptied again:
'Now, do you feel anything?'
"I seem to feel a little warmth
but it's not very definite"
Was it auto-suggestion? The
needle was withdrawn abruptly
and while Ichac sterilized the
instruments, I had a few mo-
ments respite.
"It's excruciating, the way il
hurts" I said, just as If DR.
Oudot needed telling!

The performance was repeated
on the other leg. My nerves were
all to pieces, and to brace myself
like this took all my strength.

I recently received an inter-
esting booklet from the Family
Service Association Of America
which is called "The High Cost
of Unhappy Living" This not
only emphasizes the cost in
money to the individual and the
community of the results of
unhappy home life. but also the
cost in poor work, poor social
adjustment and warped lives.
It gives case histories of mar
riages which could have been
saved had the man and woman
received expert help early enough
and some stories Of marriages
which were saved. It calls to
our attention what every edu-
Gator, minister, trained social
worker and psychologist knows
namely. that problem children
and juvenile delinquents usually
have their background in an
unhappy home life. This may
be due to money worries, crowd
ed lodgings, inadequate play ia
cilities. but most of all to deep
rooted antagonisms and friction
in the home, usually between
the husband and wife.
Children must feel secure in
love in order to grow happily to

Nixon Has BusheI
OF Problems for
Study by Leaders
By the Assoeia+ed Press

Vice President Nixon has a
briefcase full of problems, all
studied at first hand. to spread
before the National Security
Council, perhaps today.
They deal with situations he
examined in 70 days of travel
and conversation with heads Of
government and plain citizens in
Asia, the Middle East and the
Pacific. These range from
Australian unhappiness over
some United States trade policies
to the risks that a truce in
Indo-China would bring.
The council, composed Of top
officials of the executive depart
ment responsible for national
policy at the highest level. has
first call on Mr.. Nixon'S report
on the trip that ended yester-
day. Later this week and next
he meets with congressional
leaders and State Department
officials.
Mr.. Nixon said President Els
enhower would decide whether
there is to be a radio-TV report
to the Nation. He had prelim-
mary talk with the President
yesterday.
Regional Breakdown.
BY regions, here are some OF
the problems on which Mr.. Nixon
is prepared to report to the Ma
tional Security Council:
/. South Pacific - Australia
and New Zealand, both strongly
pro-American, are worried by
what they call discriminatory"
trade restrictions against their
wool and dairy products. Mr..
Nixon promised to report their
protests, with the reminder that
domestic American politics had
to be considered.
At the same time, these two
countries voiced strong oppoSi-
ton to the rearmament of Japan,
a basic point in Americas de-
fense program for the rest of
Asia.
2. Far East - Mr.. Nixon was
was told that Japan, bursting
with a temporary economic boom,
is about to re-assert its leader
ship over Asia. Economically,
however. the japanese face the
problem of developing greater
new markets, to offset their de-
pendence upon the areas now
under Communist control.
On japanese Arms.
One problem is to stimulate
more rapid Japanese rearma-
ment. Another is to settle
growing and serious dispute
over fishing rights and other
issues between Korea and Japan.
A. third is to settle the status of
Okinawa. which Japan wants
back. but which American off,
cials say is vital for the long,
range aerial defense of the
United States. !.
At the same time basic blue
print is needed for Korea, if the
present truce continues.
3. Southeast ASia-The major
