that Office, it was carried on
all TV networks at 7 pm. and
rebroadcast later on radio.
The President set the tone of
easy informality when he opened
the broadcast with: Foster, it's
good to have you here -
From then on it was mostly Mr..
Dulles show. He made his re-
port and comments extempora-
neously for the most part, re-
ferring only occasionally to
notes.
AS the Secretary spoke, the
President paid close attention,
breaking in from time to time
with a comment of his own or
that's right" or true enough. "
When Mr.. Dulles finished, the
President summed up his own
feelings in this comment:
"In a word, we will stay
strong and will stay vigilant. But
we are not going to extinguish
the hope that new dawn may
be coming even If the sun rises
very, very slowly"
Sitting around the room, but
taking no part in the broadcast

understanding and probably

maturity"
Some years ago, he said, he
thought Americans were inclined
to go to extremes of expecting
either war right now or peace.
But now, he added, he believes
the people have learned from
reading their newspapers and
listening to the radio not to ex-
pect too much, but on the other
hand not to ignore any chance
of advancing peace.
Asked what great problems he
had in mind to be tackled at the
Big Four conference, Mr.. Eisen-
hover said he thought Mr.. Dulles
covered them last night.
He went on to say that the
purpose would be to discuss di-
rections or paths to be taken
in searching for solution to such
great problems as the Soviet
satellite states, the unification OF
Germany and the penetration of
so many countries by interna-
tional communism.
May Visit Capitals
The President told a questioner
he had given no thought to the
possibility of visiting Paris or
| London on the way to or from
the conference, but that he had
many friends in both cities and
would like to drop in and see
them if protocol did not make
it too difficult.
Last nights televiSed report,
presented with almost folksy in
| formality, carried a note OF
confidence that bordered on
the triumphant. Both Mr.
Dulles and Mr.. Eisenhower
obviously were pleased with
the events in which Mr.,
Dulles participated in Europe in
the past two weeks-the recep-
ton of Germany into the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization,
the signing of the Austrian
peace treaty. talks with France
on Indo- China and Soviet ac-
ceptance of the Western invita-
ton to the Big Four meeting.
Halls German Role
The Secretary declared the
German entry into NATO Rus
sia's greatest diplomatic defeat
since World War II. And he
noted that the Austrian treaty
which will end the occupation
OF that country, will mark 1.-The
first time that segment OF the
Red Army will have turned
around and started to go back. y
The joy Of the Austrians, he
added, will be contagious" caus-
ing Communist satellites like
Czechoslovakia and Hungary tc
also want their freedom.
Mr.. Dulles said he had no feel
ing that their recent peace over
lures mean that the Russians
have got religion or been con-
verted" 1t may be, he said, that
they have decided they would gel
along better if they observed the
rules of a civilized world com
munity."
At any rate, he went on, the
important point is that ''policy
of strength and t1rmness and
the standards of moral princi-
Pile" is beginning to pay off for
the West. If we stick to that
policy. he said. I'VE can face the

each of them. -Four more will be
constructed.
Repeatedly at the showing
yesterday. the list Anti-Aircraft
Missile Battalion rapidly got the
missiles, each weighing a ton, in
position to jerk to life should
enemy aircraft approach.
This is the sequence of events
which would throw the Nike de-
fenSe around the Washington
area:
A battery would receive in
formation that hostile aircraft
are approaching and radar
would follow the target auto
matically. The missiles them
selves would then be readied
into vertical position on launch
ing racks.
Closes for Kill
Radar would provide a run
ming account of the targets
changing position. When the
target crosses Mixes distant and
visible deadline, the missile s
fired, and within seconds closes
in for the kill. When it reaches
the target the warhead explodes
and destroys the aircraft.
There are three separate
radar systems employed by the
Nike setup. One is a search
radar to detect the approach
of distant planes. A second
tracks the target. A third then
directs the missile throughout
it's fight and reports its move
ment to a computer which, in
turn. puts the weapon directly
on target.
Gen. Hendrix declared the
Nike capable of outmaneuver-
ing and destroying any type air.
plane known or foreseeable in
the immediate future. The range
and altitude, he said, gives the
Army the capability to destroy
aircraft before they reach a dis
tance from one of our cities
from which they could launch
their bomb loads.
Guns Still Useful
Eventually, the Army will turn
to a complete guided missile type
of ground anti-aircraft defense,
but presently the day of the
anti-aircraft gun is far from
over. The guns are used to strike
at those planes which get
through the outer jet fighter de-
fense and then the Nike defenses.
Gen. Hendrix said eventually
the defense benefits of the Nike
system would be extended to all
large industrial population CEN
terS.
He described the Nike system
as complete and said that "ac-
tions must take place in a thou
sandth of a second"
"Split-second decisions and ac-
tions are required to operate
safety features of the Nike in
fight" he added.
Therefore, Nike crews go
through extensive training and
batteries are manned and ready
"a hours per day for seven days a
week." Gen. Hendrix said.
Because the crews cannot fire
on locations such as that at Lor-
ton, they are annually sent back
to White Sands IN. M Prov
ing Ground to fire Mixes at live
targets. The Lorton personnel
will be back practicing at White
Sands within two weeks and an
other battalion will take its place
during the absence.

Mental Patients Reported
CIogging Dope Hospitals

Chairman Daniel of the Sen
ate judiciary Narcotics subcom-
mittee charged yesterday that
the Federal hospitals set up to
treat dope addicts are "clogged'
with mental patients.
The Texas Democrat also de-
|clared that Federal prisoners
under long sentence are spending
long periods undergoing pyschia-
trio treatment at the Federal
Narcotics Hospital at Lexington
IKy.-thus preventing the facili-
ties from being used for dope
addicts seeking voluntary treat
ment.
"In my opinion" he said,
drug addicts under lengthy
prison sentences should be
treated for their addiction and
removed to Federal penal insti-
tutions as rapidly as possible and
should not be allowed prolonged
stays at Lexington when these
facilities are so urgently needed
in the fight against spreading
drug addiction"
In a letter to Undersecretary
of the Treasury H. Chapman
Rose, chairman of the Presi-
dents Interdepartmental Com
mittee on Narcotics. Senator
Daniel urged that the Federal
narcotics facilities be made
available promptly for the ad-
mission of an estimated 500 ad-
diets on the waiting list. He
called on the Surgeon General
ito make arrangements at other
institutions for mental patients
now hospitalized at the narcotics
hospitals at Fort Worth, Tex.
and Lexington.

the principle-if there is one
of proper utilization of left

In essence. the blood program
of the Red Gross does the same
thing: 1t is keeping a clean
kitchen, an imaginative one
There is no waste Of blood
though IL per cent of that drawn
from the people by the Rec
Cross can be considered 'rleft-
over"
Take, for example, an emer-
gency operation that fails. The
patient dies before the last OF
three pints can be given. What
happens to the last pint if an
hour outside of refrigeration in
some backwoods hospital has
wiped out its future use in whole
blood transfusions?
More Than Useful
This is the start. actually. OF
q procedure which someday could
mean the utilization of one pint
of blood in the treatment Of may
be 40 persons.
For that unused pint. mixed
with other unused pints, is to be
broken down into a variety Of
blood products-one of the best
known being gamma globulin--
then returned to the shelves OF
blood banks for specific uses.
The Red Cross pulls about 40
per cent of all the blood given in
the United States. Independent
blood banks carry the rest of the
load. Out of the 40 per cent fig
ure, about SO per cent goes toward
whole blood transfusions. The
rest. like that bottle one hour out
of the ice box or a pint which
has stood unused for ri days. is
funneled into a breakdown plant
at cost of about $760, 900 yearly
"a cost met by the Red Cross.
Once broken down into specific
product, the product is returned
to the Red Cross for use.
Unlimited Products Seen
The process of cleaning by
products out of whole blood is
aiming at the day when as many
as 80 products will be available,
each having a specific use. Sci
ence feels the possibilities of Civ
ing products of blood. as opposed
to whole blood transfusions. are
unlimited.
One of the best examples this
break down, or refining Of blood
has come up with is "fibrinogin."

sidered under study--is available

mental patients.
Senator Daniel added shat the
Lexington hospital accommo-
dated ITO mental patients last
year although faced with a
waiting list of hundreds of dope
addicts.
He said he had been informed
that the 500 addicts awaiting
admission to the Federal hos
pitfalls can have no hope of being
admitted in the near future for
lack Of bed space and other
medical facilities and because
las voluntary patients, they hold
the lowest priority for admission.
This is a most urgent prob
lem in the immediate effort to
stem the rate Of drug addiction
lin the United States, che wrote.
''for. until addicts are hospital
lied or confined in some insti-
tuition, they continue to spread
la habit that is socially con-
|tagious and that leads directly
and almost invariably to crime. u
Senator Daniel also pointed
to police records showing that
Ia large percentage of addicts are
peddlers of dope themselves.
1T is safe to assume" he
wrote, that a large proportion
|of the 500 addicts waiting for
treatment are sellers of narcotics
who are being allowed to prey
on unwilling victims and spread
drug addlctions with cancerous
Irapidity because of the failure
to gain admission to Federal in
Istiutions existing for treatment
lof narcotics addicts."

Blood Givinq
Under Quota
BY 226 Pints

The Red Cross Washington
Regional Blood Center endec
the past week 226 pints short
of it's blood quota.
The drop in quota collections
was the biggest since the Ma
Ition-wide summer slump in
blood donations started early
i'm June, the Red Cross said.
1t came despite efforts BY
volunteers. and employees at he
blood center to maintain ade-
Iquate supplies for so civilian
and Federal hospitals in the
District, Virginia, West Virginia
and Maryland area.
During the last five weeks
the center had a total collection
deficit of 667 pints. Because oil
the decline in donations, routine
blood deliveries to hospitals ir
the area fell below requests.
Special Donors Helped
The Red Cross said, however
| that emergencies were met BY
response Of special donors who

for specific types of blood or by
borrowing from other Red eros:
