East crisis has never been ex.
actly defined.
Truman Took Responsibility
Some officials say they pr.
vately foresee the possibility oi
war developing so quickly thai
the President might be faced
with a necessity Of almost in.
slant action.
Real or potential emergencie;
in recent years have been deal
with In quite different ways. Ir
1850 President Truman acted or
his own responsibility to order
United States forces into action
against the Communists In Ko.
rea. Last year Mr.. Eisenhower
obtained from Congress q reso-
luton authorizing him to take
whatever military action he
might decide to be necessary ir
defense Of Formosa.
The administration so far has
displayed no interest in seeking
Ia similar blank check from Con-
Igress to deal with possible con-
Ifiict in the Middle East.
Tacit Admission Seen
Well in advance of an emer-
Igency. the three Western powers
would have to decide on what
they might do in the initial
hours of q conflict.
OfficialS here are reluctant to
talk about military planning,
but they tend to confirm that
plans actually have been worked
out.
State Department informants
stress. however, that the main
concern Of Washington, London
and Paris is to prevent war from
breaking out.
In the next few days, it now
seems certain. they will propose
to achieve two major purposes

/. To put the Arab states and
Israel alike on notice that the

2. To strengthen the U. N.
truce supervision group under
Canadian Gen. E. L. M. Burns.
His force now totals about 40
officers.
Must Have Cooperation
There has been speculation
that this might be increased to
perhaps 1000 officers. Such an
increase would be useful, officials
SAY, only If Israel and the Arab
states agreed to let the enlarged
STAFF operate freely in border
areas where clashes have oc-
Cured.
The possibility Of creating a
broad demilitarized zone around
Israel's borders also has re-
ceived considerable study. How
ever, it would require the full
consideration of Israel and the
key Arab states of Egypt, Jordan
and Syria.
The Western powers have also
been bringing such pressure as
they could on the Israeli and
Arab governments to move
toward a lasting peace settle
|ment.

PEIPING (R.-Is your cir
culation a little sluggish? Got
that tired, rundown feeling?
Then take the bones from a tiger,
grind up fine and eat.
Got the Sniffles? Munich a pill
made from ground up a centipede.
Your aching back? Well, dried
beetles are an excellent pain
killer.
Doctors in Communist China
say these remedies--taken from
Chinese medical journals writ
ten before the birth of Christ
actually work. In Peiping the
|traditiOnalist doctors who use the
remedies are taking business
away from W estern- tr ined
medicos.
The Chinese physicians have
been practicing 1000 years, but
this is the first time they have
ever had a hospital Of their
own" said DR.. Wei Ching ming,
director Of the Hospital of Chi
nese Medicine.
Most Of our patients have al
ready been treated in Western
method hospitals and have come
out uncured. We take them in
here, and the percentage of sue
cessful cures is really quite
amazing"
The hospital, with fitting
Chinese roofs and flower filled
courtyards, is set in a block of
Chinese summer houses built
during the Ming Dynasty 500
years ago.
Filled With Textbooks
It's offices and diagnosis rooms
are filled with glass-fronteG
bookcases containing medical
textbooks thousands of years old,
printed in flowing Chinese script
on rice paper. They contain
herbal recipes and general rem
edieS which clash with prac-
tically every principle of modern
medicine.
DR.. Wei is a western style
surgeon. trained in a Japanese
college. Here he serves strictly
in an administrative capacity,
while the traditionalists do the
Ipracticing.
1--WE have 10 Western doctors
on the staff here, and 81 tradi-
tional men," he said. But the
westerners' job is only diagnosis,
and sometimes they take X-rays.
Consultations are held between
the two schools. but the tradi-
tionalists do the work."
Chinese medicine men have
been practCing in villages and in
the back streets Of cities for cen
turtles. They use knowledge
handed down from father to son,
but are unaware Of the reasons
behind their cures.
"A traditional doctor can do
many things an orthodox man
cant. But he has no theoretical
knowledge at ALL" DIR. Wei said.
Nov the Communists have
decided that Chinese medicine
should be developed even fur

hospitals in Peiping have estab-
Ilished traditional clinics, anc
