President Has Sofest Type
Of IIeitis, Specialist Says

NEW YORK, June 9 (P0.-A
foremost authority on the all
Iment affecting President Eisen-
hover said today the outlook
is very good" for the Presidents
complete recovery in a few
weeks.
DR.. Bruill Groin, the discoverer
Iof the ailment, ileitis, said the
Presidents case was the most
common and safest type" and
''the most easily amenable to
successful surgery"
IF the operation was success
ful-and / feel sure it was in
this caSe-the President should
be restored to full health, with
mo diminuition of his working
deficiency" DR.. Groin said.
He said the President probably;
would be confined to bed for
about two weeks, and then grad
Iually resume his regular sched-
Iule.
BEST Type" to Cure
DR.. Groin Of New Milford,
Conn. who discovered the dis
ease in 1882, said that the dag
InoSiS of regional, terminal
lileitis-obstruction of Mr.. Eisen-
Ihower's lower small intestine
was the "best type" to cure.
THE man should get entirely
WELL" he said.
He said the terminal, localized
ileitis involved only agout 8 to
II inches of the lowermoSt
small intestine, which altogether
lis Is feet long. He said about 80
per cent of the cases of ileitis
were Of this type.
Surgery removing the short
intestinal segment of only a few
inches, he said, causes mo i'm
pairment of the patients process

of the gross product of the Soviet
nation" American defense ex-
penditures should continue at
the 10 per cent rate, he said,
so long as the danger persists"
The United States gross ma
tional product is estimated to
be about three times as large
as the Soviet Unions.
Secretary Dulles made these
other points:
Foreign aid is not a give
away" program. often by help
ing others we help ourselves more
effectively than we would do in
any other way"
I'VE do not seek either graft
tude or subservience" from aid
recipients. The United states
seeks to buttress its own free
dom by making more vigorous
the freedoms elsewhere"

hower's operation from a distance
early this morning.
I could see the doctors NOV

the operating room lamp as
stared through the window Of
surgery No. 6 at Walter Reed
Medical Center.
The scene was fairly clear
through the transparent glass
brick window on the third floor.
The operation started at 1853
am. Soon after the emergency
abdominal surgery began, a few

A newSreel cameraman

hours at Walter Reed Hos

In Mr.. Hagerty's left lapel
was a gold pin spelling Ike

The press secretary
glanced down at his pin,
then shot a defiant look at
the cameraman, smiled, and

He said that operations of
this kind were successful in IS
to rs per cent of the cases.
DR.. Groin, speaking by tele-
phone from his home. said the
difficult cases were thoSt with
more diffuse involvement" that
is. affecting a greater portion of
the intestine.
Mild Recurrence Possible
AS for the possibilities of the
disease recurring, DR.. Groin
said that this happens to about
80 to IS per cent of those
stricken at irregular intervals
of time.
But in Mr.. Eisenhower's case
he said, Even if there should
be occurrences, they are rather
mild" He said such occurrences
could come in a short time or
years later. He said one patient
had a recurrence after 81 years.
Asked about the average time
interval before occurrences, he
said he preferred not to give
any specific period.
Dr.. Cronin said the ailment
is in a similar category with
stomach ulcers OF duodenal ul.
GERS. It's cause is not known.
The cause of ulcers also is not
definitely known, but strain and
nervous tension are believed to
be contributing factors.

to be placed in the corner.
A couple of the more intellec-
tual members of the fourth
estate broke open portable

ing over it like two English gen.
tlemen in a library. The report
erS, waiting now for Jim Hag-
erty, sat around, interviewing
each other. exchanging rumors
and "reminiscences of Denver.
Soon the glasS-topped table was
Uttered with newspapers, coffee
cups, sandwich wrappings and
overt1owing ashtrays.
Meanwhile, the life of the hos
pital went on. More loungers APP
peared in the shade across the
street. Cars came up to collect
patients, to leave them. A little
boy was wheeled up to the en-
trance in a wheelchair, his twin
walking beside him. Expectant
mothers sat in the reception
room, reporters barked bulletins
over the telephones of reception
lists who went on unperturbedIy
Tipping file cards. People with

came and went. Doctors and or
derlieS, cycling the growing hub
bub in the halls. passed through
outside. A steady file of taxis
continued to discharge cargoes
of reporters.
Press Conference Begins
/ By 1888, Mr.. Hagerty, reso-
llutely grinning, had begun his
first press conference, and seven
television cameras had been set
up in the nursing supervisors
room.
After the press conference.
Mr.. Hagerty. seemingly relaxed,
told reporters that he, with two
ulcers. knew exactly how the
President felt, and that he
would soon resume the medical
study he had begun at Denver.
He had read the thick volume,
Heart Disease" by DR.. Paul
Dudley White. the celebrated
attending physician on that oc-
caSion, and now he said philo-
sophically he supposed he would
have to read up on the stomach.
BY this time, a hundred re-
porters were milling around,
managing to step over the long,
PROSTATE figure of a Life pho
ltographer, suppose dly fast
asleep on the floor.
The second press conference,
lat sos, where the possibilities
of surgery were explored more
thoroughly and tensely, ended
with a flash of temper from Mr..
Hagerty, who said that the
doors must be closed and no
Ione should leave before it was
over. He had an amplifier for
this one, and at mention of a
quote from the candid, COM
Imunicative DR.. White, his sharp
Intake of breath was clearly
heard.
Equipment Arrives
Workmen came in bearing
typewriters, tables, cables, tele-
type machines, telephone wires,
connection boxes. The reporters
scattered for dinner. One table
held a movie camera, a jar of
mustard. a knapsack and a re-
cording machine. Window screens
were pushed out for heavy tele-
vision cables.
BY 1887, Mr.. Hagerty was
back. obviously pleased to be able
to say that there was no indica-
ton for immediate surgery.
Outside, in the twilight, the
normal life Of the hospital went
on. Two GIs in the bright
blue convalescent uniforms of
the Medical Corps watched idly
while several TV cameramen
photographed the fountains in

ment agreement. Therefore, he
said, lit is difficult to expect the
u. N. talks to lead to concrete
results in the area of disarma-
ment in the very near future"
With his letter he sent along
a proposal that the U. N. Com
mittee on disarmament, which
meets in New York in July,
should make widely pubIicized
investigation of the work of the
subcommittee. The subcommit-
tee consists Of the four big
powers plus Canada.
New Approach" Urged
What is needed in the present
circumstances, Marshal Bulganin
said, is a new approach" to
disarmament. He so described a
May IA Soviet announcement
that it was reducing its armed
forces by 100000 men in addi-
ton to an announced cut last
year of $4,000 men.
He urged the President to join
in this new approach on unln-
spected, individual action by the
powers. expressing hope "that an
initiative of the great powers
along the lines he suggested
would be of decisive impor-
lance" in leading to the crea-
ton of conditions more favor
able for a universal disarma-
ment program.
On the question of troops in
Germany, Marshal Bulganin
said the Soviet plan of limited
rehabilitation covers the dis
mantling of combat units total
ing more than 10000 men in
Communist East Germany.
He described this as "only the
first STEP" but said similar ac-
ton by the other powers would
undoubtedly prepare the ground
for more decisive steps in this
matter"
u. S. Sees Nothing New
The view of United States Of
f1cials, privately expressed, is
that there is nothing really new
in Marshal Bulganin's letter to
the President and that he wrote
the letter primarily to squeeze
new propaganda advantage out
of the May IA announcement of
troop reductions.
Every point of the Bulganin
proposal has already been an
Swered in some manner by a
responsible American official.
The United States Govern
ment has repeatedly rejected
Russian propositions for with
drawing troops from Germany
or getting American troops en-
tirely out Of Europe. on the
ground that this would merely
Iaggravate the problem of Eu-
ropean security.
Both Secretary Dulles and Mr.
Eisenhower have said that the
Soviet manpower cut could moi
be verified by Western observers
"a prime condition of every
Western plan for disarmament
put forth during the last IL
years.
After the Soviet announce
ment, Mr.. Dulles said the Rus
SLAMS had to get men out OF
uniform and into the factories
and farms to increase industrial
and agricultural production. The
end result of this could be. he
declared, to make Russian mill
tary power even greater than
lit is today.

Mrs. Fletcher said she had a
right to participate in the pro-
ceeding because she is the owner

lands over which the Old Domin-
ion line was granted conditional
right of way before the Civil War.
The condition. she asserted, was
that it would maintain both
passenger and freight service.
She asked that the Gao be
required to state what its plans
are with respect to passenger
service, contending that if such
service is not provided the con-
ditional rights of way could be
revoked.
Mrs. Fletcher also wanted to
know what ever happened to the
