Luce began feeling tired and i'll
Nervousness and nausea fol-
lowed. She found one night she
could hardly manage to waltz at
an art festival because her right
foot had turned numb.
In the summer Of 1854 Mrs.
Luce came home for a thorough
medical checkup in a New York
hospital. Doctors said she was
suffering from serious anemia
and nervous fatigue.
After two months she felt bet
ter and returned to Rome.
The symptoms soon returned,
however, and became even more
distressing. Mrs. Luce began to
lose hair by the brushful. Her
fingernails became brittle. Her
teeth loosened.
She was confined to her bed
more and more.
Late in 1854 she went to q
United States Navy hospital in
Naples. A Navy doctor examined
her and asked if any of her
medicines contained arsenic.
1T was the first time the ugly
word had been mentioned in
connection with her illness,
Time said.
Later Mrs. Luce reported the

Meanwhile. Navy doctors sent
laboratory specimens to the
United States Naval Hospital at
Bethesda, Md. They used a fic-
titious name-"Seaman Jones'
for the patient.
The report came back: Sea-
man Jones" was q victim Of
arsenic poisoning.
Mrs. Luce realized at once she
was in a ticklish situation. Deli
cate diplomatic relations might
be jeopardized If the news we're
made public.
Investigators checked Amer
lean and Italian employees at the
Embassy. Nothing suspicious
turned up.
Within a week the poison was
traced to the arsenate of lead in
the bedroom ceiling. The room
was quickly repainted with nom
loaded paint, eliminating the
danger.
Mrs. Luce returned to the
United States last May for treat
ment to counterfeit the arsenic
poisoning. She is to leave this
week for a three-week Mediter-
ranean cruise.
Then she will resume her du-
ties at the Villa Taverna.

NEW YORK, July II (R.-
Deadly arsenic dust sitting down
from the paint on her bedroom
ceiling in Rome repeatedly
caused the long series of illnesses
that have plagued Clare Boothe
Luce, Ambassador to Italy.
The reason for Mrs. Luce's
strange sickness was kept a Dip
lomatic secret for more than a
year.
Last night Time Magazine dis
closed the whole bizarre tale after
friends told Mrs. Luce they had
heard snatches of the story. The
ENJOYS husband, Henry r. Luce,
is editor in-chief Of the maya
zine.
Mrs. Luce. former playwright
and Republican member Of Con-
gress from Connecticut, was
named Ambassador to Rome in
1858. On her arrival she moved
into the 18th Century villa Ia
verna, official residence of United
States ambassadors.
Then for 20 months tiny specks
of the poisonous arsenic fell un-
suspected from the paint on the
ornate bedroom ceiling. The
arsenic powdered Mrs. Luce's
breakfast coffee. In summer the
paint gave of arsenous fumes,
which she inhaled.

Military Bill Altered
BY House to Meet Veto

Eisenhower's contention that
Congress preached the funda-
mental constitutional principles
of separation of power" when it
passed the original bill.
Mr.. Eisenhower's veto said the
features of the bill to which he
objected would destroy the clear
lines of responsibility which the
Constitution provides" and gives
the committees authority to
Inullify congressional authorize
ton"
The $1,725,O 100000 appropria-
ton bill, which the Senate
passed only yesterday, preSum-
ably will be held up in confer
|ence until the new authorization
bill is passed.
The language to which the
President objected in effect re-
served to the Senate and House
Armed Services Committee veto
authority over any construction
relating to the Talos missile or
to family housing units for mil
itary personnel.
1t said the Defense Depart
ment could not proceed with
such projects until it came Unto
agreement with" the congress
sional committees.
Speaking of the housing pro-
vision, Mr.. Eisenhower said Con-
gress may not constitutionally
delegate to its members or conf
mittees the power to approve or
disapprove a contract which
IAN executive officer proposes to
make"
Mr.. Eisenhower said congress
could achieve "the true purpose"
of the provisions by requiring
timely reports from the Execu-
tive branch to guide it in enact
ing future legislation.

With unprecedented speed. the
House today passed a $2,138,-
886, 900 military construction
authorization bill stripped Of
provisions which drew a preSi-
Dental veto yesterday.
The bill now goes to the
Senate.
The House action was taken
by unanimous consent with only
about 100 members on the floor
1t came shortly after the
Armed Services Committee had
approved a measure lacking two
provisions objected to by the
President.
These would have required the
Defense Department to get APP
proval of the Senate and House
Armed Services Committees be-
fore going ahead with contracts
for Talos missile sites and for
construction of government-in-
sured housing for Servicemen's
families.
Except for eliminating these
two provisions. the new bill was
identical to the one vetoed. It
authorizes construction of hum
dreds of projects at military
bases in the United States and
abroad.
Chairman Vinson, Democrat Of
Georgia, of the Armed Services
Committee told the House the
committee promptly would draft
"a bill giving Congress some
supervision" over the program.
The President objected that
the original measure was an
invasion Of the constitutional
powers of the executive branch
of Government.

most responsible leaders are
talking like confirmed disciples

the comforting formula that
every day in every way the world

better and better.
The tendency to look at the

to the question of our foreign
relations. The Communist world,
we are assured, is cracking up.
The leaders of the Kremlin have
lost their grip to such an extent
that communism may no longer
be an effective instrument in the
cold war. The general impression
is that the struggle is about over
and that the free world, strong
and united. can stand by to rake
in the chips. Secretary of State
