Nude Painting of
Actress Brings Press

the model.

Senate Passes Improved Farm Bill
And Hopes President Will Sign 1t

WASHINGTON, R- Secretary
of Agriculture Benson gave his
qualified approval to the new
farm bill passed by the Senate on
a voice vote Friday night.
Benson said the bill is rather
complicated, with a number of
amendments" and he has not had
an opportunity to study each in
detail.
However" he said in state
ment, "a quick check of the bill
indicates that, overall, it has been
much improved from the stand
point of the Department of Agri-
culture"
Senate leaders expressed hope
the new farm bill will become law
next week without further con-
troversy.
The bill replaces a more com
prehensive measure Eisenhower
vetoed April 16. AS its principal
feature it authorizes the $780,
100000 soil bank program he re-
quested as a means of paying
farmers to rake surplus crop land
out of production.
Neither the Senate nor the
House approved, however, Essen
hower's request for authority to
pay farmers this year portion
of the money to which they would
be entitled for compliance next
year
The measure still includes some
provisions to which Eisenhower
The Nome nugget. [volume] (Nome, Alaska) 1938-????, 1956-05-21

has objected, but Senate COM
promises on feed grain supports
and parity levels tended to bring
those features closer to Eisen-
hower's views.
Missing from the bill are re-
quirements for rigid, higher sup
port prices, a two-way system of
figuring parity prices and many
other provisions which brought on
Eisenhower's veto of the earlier
measure Parity is a price deter
mined by law to be fair to farm
ers in relation to their costs.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON

By means of photography, two
satellites of Jupiter were discoV-
cred in 1905, another in 1908, and
still another in 1914. More moons
have been discovered in recent
years until there are now II
satellites revolving around Jupi-
ter. This is the greatest number
accompanying any planet.
The last two satellites are very
remote from the planet and are
found to be revolving in the OPP
posite direction from the others
The usual direction of satellites in
our solar system is from west to
east like our own moon.
Other exceptions to this rule are
the Outermost moon of Saturn, the
moon of Neptune, and all four
moons of Uranus.
The ninth moon of Jupiter takes
nearly three years to complete a
revolution, while the nearest
takes only II hours and 81 min
utes. It was Roemier, Danish
astronomer. who computed the
velocity of light by observing the
moons of Jupiter.

a standard design Boeing B-52
long-range heavy bomber. Dozens
of times before, the crew, from
the Special Weapons Group at
Kirkland Air Force Base, NM,
had dropped inert duplicates of
the H-bomb.
Once before the B-52 had taken
off with a live H-bomb but had to
return after a last-hour postpone

of Grand Forks, ND, therefore
had twice to arm the bomb In
flight in preparation for the drop.
On the first occasion he had to
pull it's fangs before the big plane
swooped in for a landing on the
comparatively short runway of
Eniwetok Island.
But this morning when Maj.
Charles T. Smith of Pittsburgh,
Kan. opened the throttles of the
eight jet engines and sent the
bomber screaming into the air, he
was off on a hiStory-making mis-

the east toward Bikini Atoll, 1870

was no sight or sound of him in

on the target, which showed or

of about 600 miles per hour the
bomb was dropped.
It was seven miles short of the

like that?
A. No, he takes no-he's
needed no drugs to stimulate his
heart muscle, to support the
heart muscle.
He Is not taking digitalis, for
example; he is not on a low salt
diet, for example.
DR.. Snyder-I will answer that
in this respect: The only drug
the President Is taking is a drug
which delays the coagulation
time in the blood stream, and we
anticipate carrying that along
for a considerable period, for
the simple reason that it's been
found to be beneficial in a num-
Der of studies that have been

there be any medical limitation

you told him, try to get this
thing a lot simpler than what
it is now, do you feel medically
there is any reason why he

A. No; medically, I think, we

He has not walked up the hills

more. He was taking it easy,
playing the game for the most Of
the JOY out of it, without making
very much work Of it.
@. What I am trying to get at
is whether-how long would it
take him to be fully recovered

move slowly with increasing &C

mum, and he still is in that stage
of increasing his physical activ-
ity so that we hope he may be
able to play golf in the spring.

that the President should be able

Ifactorily for another five to 10
years.
| @. Doctor, by "active life, -
do you mean an active life as
President?
| A. That was the conclusion
from the last sentence; that is.
from what we have seen of the
lob of the presidency, and the
way he has carried on the job
of the presidency during the past
five weeks, We think that that is
medically possible.

limitations now remain or do
not remain in the case of the
President, I mean, from this
moment forward, are there any
restrictions on him as to activity
and. If so. what are those restric-
tons?
I May Resume Golf
A. He is increasing his physical
activity, and has been in the
I last few weeks, and we hope
that he will continue to increase
his physical activity slowly, so
that he may eventually resume
such a game as golf. But l think
i would like to ask Dr.. Snyder
to speak of the plans for the
next week or SO.
/ @. Which is the greater hazard
to the President. the work load
or the presSures and tensions to
the job?
/ DR.. White-Well, there is a
good deal of controversy about
the fundamental cause of arte-
iriosclerosis of the coronary
arteries themselves. This is the
fundamental disease back of
coronary thrombosis; that is,
the causation is still in doubt.
Some think that too rich food
| is responsible. some think lack
of exercise is responsible. some
think that stress and strain may
be responsible.
Doesn't Think Stress Is Cause
But some of us, and I per-
sonally, do not think that stress
and strain is the cause of the
disease, but it can be, of course,
an aggravating factor. and that
must be weighed in making any
such statement as l have just
made. and we have attempted
to weigh the stress and strain
iof the job which, of course. is
considerable. To date he stood
it well.
@. DR.. White, what was the
Presidents reaction to this news
that he would be able to lead a
very active life?
A. He will make his own deci-
sion, and will present to the peo-
Pile Of the country within a rela-
lively short time his own conclu-

Mr.. Hagerty-The report from
the doctors is medical one
and I deliberately repeat the
word medical" on the examina-
tons and consultations which
these doctors have just con-
cluded. They have periodically
engaged in such consultations
since the illness of the President
on September "a, 1855.
This medical report is being
given to keep you. and through
you, the American people and
the people of the world. fully in
formed on the Presidents recov-
e cry from his illness.
The gentlemen sitting here
with me are doctors. they are
not politicians. They are here to
report medically on their find-
ings, and only that.
Own Feelings Paramount
May remind you that the
President, at his press confer
ence, in discussing the final de-
cision which he alone can make,
said, and I quote:
81 think / will probably trust
my own feelings more than ] will
the doctors report"
cat this point. DR.. Snyder
read the formal medical report
signed by the six consulting
doctors, the text of which ap-
pears on Page A-5)
@. General, have a question
This is a medical question, al
though it has a political aspect
You say that the President is
in good condition. Is it the
Judgment of the doctors that he
could serve another four years
In the White House without any
damage to himself?
DR.. Snyder-We believe that
he can serve four or five years
or longer in very active posi-
ton of great responsibility.
DIR. White Questioned
@. May put that same ques-
ton to DR.. White?
DR.. White-Our medical report
about the President today can be
summarized briefly as follows:
His health continues to be
satisfactory. Increasing exercise
and the resumption of the full
duties of his Office have been
accomplished without any phySi-
cal difficulty; both by lack OF
heart symptoms and by the find
ings on examination, the evil
dence is that his heart muscle
has held up well and that there
has been no insufficiency of his
coronary reserve.
Now, as to the future. after
Weighing very carefully all avail
able evidence, including our own
experience. and fully aware OF
the hazards and uncertainties
that lie ahead. we believe that
medically the chances are that
the President should be able to
carry on an active life satisfac-
torily for another five or 10
years. But the choice is his,
not ours.
