The reduction Of Western

therefore, be taken seriously

Pessimistic Opinions Are MorshoIed
To Counter Attitude of White House

There is no specific therapy
for regional enteritis and all
available measures are strictly
supportive. With the increas-
ing length Of follow-up studies,
it has become evident from all
carefully studied series Of pa
tients treated surgically that
the rate Of recurrence of ileitis
is increasing.
1.-THE high rate of recur-
renee of ileitiS following the
hort-circuiting or the resec-
ton type of operation is lead
ing to re-evaluation as q cri-
terra for operation.
1.-THE reoperating of all the
cases of terminal ileitis as
they recur led to more recur-
renee and more operations. I
prefer nowadays to handle my
patients as a medical problem
rather than a surgical one.
my attitude Is much more
conservative today than it
was"
The newest text on Regional
Enteritis seems to be by Fred

clinical surgery, Tulane Uni

states:

well expressed it, there are few

remain so until the etiologic
factor is discovered and the

clarified.

Politics and the Presidents Illness

Center Hospital It was found
that only eight tenths Of one
per cent died Of cardiac trou-
BILE while undergoing surgery
and that the use Of anesthetics
was really no more damaging
for heart patients than for
those with no previous heart
trouble.
It is significant to note the.
expression Of confidence and
faith in the Presidents physi-
clans which came last Friday
from DR.. David Altman, presi-
dent-elect Of the American
Medical Association. He said
at Chicago, when asked about
it by the press. that he saw mo
medical reason" why President
Eisenhower shouldn't run for
reelection. He added point-
edly that he based his COM
nent on what the attending
physicians--the best In their
field--had reported.
Actually. the most inter-
ested man in the country in
all this is the President him
self. A few weeks ago at a
press conference. when news
papermen told him that the
Democrats were suggesting
that a different panel Of doc
tors be appointed to examine
him to see If he had really re-
covered from his heart attack.
the President replied that If
there was anything wrong with
him. he more than anybody
else wanted to know it.
Honesty is one Of the prin-
cipal traits of Mr.. Eisenhow-
er's character and if the doc
tors who attended him have
been political in their reports
and have forgotten their ethics
as medical men. the President
would be the first to insist on
knowing why he was being
misled. Merely to state the
problem is to reveal its abb
surdity.
It Is difncult. therefore, to
explain the ghoulish skepti-
cism which some Of the Lead
ing British newspapers and
certain politicians in America
seem to have generated about
the integrity Of the very fine
medical men who attended
the President.

How Much Longer viii Air Force Stoy
In Face Of Red Efforts to Drive Us Out?

Can millions Of American
dollars maintain our air bases
in Arab countries and for how
long? This question is being
debated in the State Depart
ment and Pentagon and was
the subject Of exhaustive dis
cussions before the Armed
Services Committees Of the
Senate and House.

body can say what the future
will hold. We are attempting
to renegotiate the agreements
we reached with Paris when
the bases we're established in

What price we shall have to
pay to the peeved and hard
bargaining Moroccans Is I'M
certain. But because of mill
tary exigencies the price will
have to be paid. The impor-
tant thing is how much longer
will we be permitted to keep
our bases in North Africa and
the Middle East in the face
of the Soviet efforts to drive
US out.

Slash of Western Forces in Germany,
Asked by Soviet, Studied in Washington

It was reported last week
that Soviet Premier Nikolai A.
Bulganin's proposal that the
Western powers cut their
forces in Germany was being
studied in the State and De-
Tense Departments and by
Harold Stassen, the Presidents
special disarmament adviser.
1t is to be hoped that the
United States and the other
Western powers will make a
Joint statement on this issue,
which will present the situa-
ton as it actually is.
Western forces are not in
Germany for any aggressive
purpose aimed at any Of Ger
many's neighbors. That has
been repeatedly reiterated by
the NATO powers, and con-
CURED in by the West German
government.
They are there because the
federal republic is without a
force to defend itself. and they
will remain there as long as
the present condition exists.
The East German govern
n1ent has repeatedly demanded
that all plans for the creation
Of a West German defense
force be abandoned. It has
warned that the creation of
such a force in or apart from
NATO will prevent German
reunification.

government but the Soviet

DAVID LAWRENCE

Did the doctors attending
President Eisenhower at his
recent operation deliberately
engage in a propaganda for
the Republicans" in comment
ing on the Presidents illness?
The charge that they did
has been made by certain
large newspapers in Britain
and by some Democratic Party
politicians and their stooges
in this country.
Fortunately. there is a steno-
graphic record available which
tells exactly what the doctors
were asked and what they
answered. A careful study of
it will reveal that there has
been q misrepresentation and
a distortion of fact.
The physicians who at
tended the President didn't
bring up the subject Of
whether or not he might run
again. They didn't initiate
any propaganda. They didn't
ask for the press conference.
The newspapermen covering
the story did. Here is the only
question which was asked of
DR.. Heaton, who performed
the operation and spoke for the
group Of doctors assembled:

press which covered several
thousands Of words entirely on

when the attack on South Ko-

There were reasons for APP
pretending that a similar
move might be made from
East Germany against West
Germany. The Western gov
ernments. whose representa-
tives have interviewed and
screened thousands Of escapes
from East Germany. must have
abundant evidence that the
peoples police" out of which
the cadres Of the East Ger
man army were formed. were
syst e matically indoctrinated
with the idea that their mis-
sion was to "liberate" all Ger
many from the Western pow
ers. Of course, with the aid Of
the neighboring eastern Red
armies.
That was certainly true in

We declared ourselves vo-
cally sympathetic to Arab

tional political considerations
we sided with our colonial"

Some Of the American pol
icy makers maintain that we
are safe in Libya. But they
recognize that Egypt's impact
on all the peoples in North
Africa is such that even the
little Libyan kingdom which
we helped to create might be
forced to yield to the eventual
pressures from Cairo.
We are equally safe in Saudi
Arabia, but there again our
ability to maintain the air
bases depends on whether or
not we continue to provide
King Saud with the arms
which he purchased and paid
for last year.
The shipment of about is
tanks a few weeks ago from a
port in Virginia raised such a
hullabaloo in certain political
quarters IN this country that
the Government is worried
over the political implications
in this election year if further
important equipment is al
