BRITISH PAPERS
THINK PRESIDENT
WILL QUIT OFFICE

LONDON, Nov. ~ (R.-
Some newspapers predicted
today that President Eisen-
hover would be the first
United States President to
resign from office.
Shocked and saddened
by news of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's illness, Western
Europe halfway expected
an early announcement
that the ailing 67-year-old
President had turned over
the United States Gov
eminent to Vice President
Nixon.
The press filled inside
pages with lengthy feature
articles and personality
sketches on Mr.. Nixon.
The lead story in the
London Evening News said
1.-The big question in Wash
ington today is: Will
President Eisenhower re-
sign?"
In a dispatch from
Washington the Daily
Express said:
President Eisenhower's
latest illness almost GER
tainly means that he will
quit the White House
both for his own sake, and
for his country's sake. :"

For the third time in 26
months. Mrs. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover is watching over a sick
husband.
Vice President Nixon de-
scribed as courageous" her
action Monday night in attend
ing a state dinner for King
Mohamed v Of Morocco, after
President Eisenhower had suf-
fered a mild stroke.
II sat by her and I know
under what stress she was" Mr.
Nixon said.
But last night, Mrs. Eisen-
hover joined the ailing Pres
ident in dining from trays and
watching television for a couple
of hours in their White House
living quarters.
Before the Monday night
dinner. the White House had
announced only that Mr.. Eisen-
hover had suffered "a chill. /"
But 1t was disclosed yesterday
that tentative diagnosis already
had been made of a blockage of
a small brain artery - COM
monty called a little stroke.
Praised by Nixon
Mr.. Nixon. who escorted the
First Lady to the dinner, COM
mented:

not affected.
"The Presidents physical
strength is normal. and he is
allowed to be up and about his
home. Home surroundings are
considered preferable to the
hospital for recovery. He is
alert, his spirits are good, and
he discussed with interest and
clarity recent events.
THE present disability is
mild and transitory in nature,
We feel that the original rec
ommendation for rest and de-
crease in physical activity
should be followed"
All attending physicians and
consultants are agreed that the
President has not had another
heart attack and that the pres
ent symptoms have no rela-
tionship to his previous heart
attack.

party lines and reaching into
all corners Of the Government

Senator Bridges of New

the Senate, said he believed
Vice President Nixon should dc
all he can to fulfill the Presi-

few weeks.
But he said he believed the
Vice President would be reluc,
tant to do so unless strongly
urged.

the illness is more serious than
White House reports say. One
London paper, the conserva-
tive Dispatch. says fatty. "al-
most certainly 1t means that he
viii quit the White House."
The papers emphasize that
this is a time Of crisis for West
ern defense and that strong
leadership from the United
States is necessary. But they
are uncertain that there will
be such leadership for some
weeks and don't know what can
take its place.

sions Of sympathy to the
President and his family. But
they were still thinking Of the
full implications OF the situa-
ton.
There were two questions:
/. Should the summit meet
ling in Paris go on as scheduled
without Mr.. Eisenhower?
2. How viii the picture
change If Vice President Nixon
fills in at the conference land
perhaps takes over the presi-
dency?
In Rome, Paris and London
some unofficial government
spokesman said they doubted
the value Of a summit meeting
if the head of the biggest ally is
not present. They frankly
didn't know how the picture
would change If Mr.. Nixon
were to take over.
There was much speculation
in Europe about Mr.. Nixon.
Persons questioned in London
streets and shops this morning
said they knew little about Mr..
Nixon but hopeds he would be
a vigorous leader. Most per-
sons seemed to assume that
as one put it: Its three times
and out Of White House isn't
Iit?"
London papers are full of Eli

Most papers had banner head
lines. Four papers worded
theirs exactly alike: IKE has

Washington physicians ia
miliar with such cases also in
sisted today there is a differ
ence, even If the illness in some
"less attention-getting" case is
sometimes "off- handedly" called
| q stroke.
Probably because Of the fear
associated with the word, White
House sources, joined by ex-
perienced doctors, hastily
pointed out that strokes usually
mean the destruction of brain
matter, while clots and vascu-
lar spasms. If fieeting enough,
can come and 60 without per-
manent damage.
Stronger Sequel Possible
They foresaw for the Presi-
dent a relatively speedy recov-
cry, with his difficulty in speak
ling a "transitory" matter.
Other physicians, however
Expressed the opinion that now
that he's had the FIRST such in
cident," the possibility of an
other one is increased, with q
| 10 per cent chance that the
second one would be more
serious.
After DR.. Francis M. Forster,
professor of neurology and dean
of ahe Georgetown University
Medical School here, and DR.
H. M. Merritt, professor Of
neurology at Columbia Univer-
sity Medical School, New York,
completed their examination OF
the President about 6 O'Clock
last night, the White House
issued a three paragraph an
nouncement.
Illness Detailed
The first paragraph described
the details of the illness:
1.-THE President has had an
occlusion (blockage) of a small
branch TO q cerebral vessel
Tor artery which has produced
a slight difficulty In speaking
There is no evidence Of a cere-
bral hemorrhage or any seri-
Gus lesion Of the cerebral ves-
sells. The difficulty in speaking
has improved over the period OF
the last "a hours and is now
manifested only by a hesitancy
in saying certain difficult
words. Reading, writing and
reasoning powers are not af-
fected."
An earlier announcement had
said 1t had not been determined
as yet whether the condition
present is one of a small clot
or a vascular spasm."
Six Cerebral Arteries
Drawing on those two par
agraphs, specialists in both
private practice and at the
National Institute of Health
here pieced together what they
believe happened to the Presi-
dent:
Every normal human being
has three cerebral arteries on
each side Of the brain (there-
fore six altogether) which feed
the brain nourishing blood.
Taking just one side, tho
left, the one involved in the
Presidents case, they are the
left anterior artery, which feed:
the front portion of the brain
the left posterior artery, which
feeds the rear portion of the
brain, and the left middle ar.
terry. which feeds the middle
portion Of the brain.
Together, with the help Of
many minute branches on each
they control the body's actions
It was one of the many mi.

mute branches Of the left mid
die artery Zone Of many which
help to control speech to
which something" happened
to cause the Presidents illness.
The something" the doctors
agree. was either a clot or q
vascular spasm. Whichever It
was. Examining physicians
have left that point up in the
air) 1t caused an occlusion Of
the tiny branch artery.
Encouraging Outlook
One. physician said 1.-THE OUT
look for this kind Of thing is
very encouraging. It's a very
common type Of problem for
which recovery is expected in
the majority of cases."
Referring to the CLOTHING of q
small vessel-whether the clot
originates from the heart
chamber. or develops as an
entirely separate process-the
doctors agreed for the most
part that either is less dam
gerous than the kind of stroke
condition" that develops from
high blood pressure, which us
ually means a breaking Of the
vessel or artery and causes q
cerebral hemorrhage.
Spasm Explained
They described a vascular
spasm as a narrowing or con-
striction of an artery. which
can impair the flow Of blood
temporarily without blocking
the vessel entirely, as would a
clot.
Since the Presidents speech
repeatedly is improving. there
was a growing belief. therefore,
that his illness was caused by
"a vascular spasm. 1t could or
could not. they added, be an
aftermath of the Presidents
past heart attacks.
The exact diagnosis is diff
ficult to reach, they pointed
out, because the affected loca-
ton Of the present difficulty
would be hard to pinpoint even
with X-rays.

bedraggled men walked into camp
and asked to see the Commanding
Officer.
The men were hungry and foot
sore. Their only belongings were
a handful of personal effects car
lied over their shoulders in crude
cloth knapsacks. They had tramped
all the way from Gablonz in the
Czechoslovakian Sudentenland, and
were searching for place to make
new home. The Army C. o. re-
ferred them to refugee camp
down near Landsberg, some Is
miles distant. But the two Czechs
didn't want refugee camp life;
they liked the looks Of the country
surrounding the ammunition dump.
The two men begged shelter for
Ia persons in one of the unused
frame buildings at the dump, and
the privilege of earning their
"keep" by day and working at their
craft by night. They said they We're
decorative glass and jewelry ar
tisans. They said they had II COM
panions struggling on behind. They
told the C. o. they wanted to es-
tablish an industry that "soon will
be selling merchandise all over the
world"
The skeptical American officer
gave them shelter. Then he sought
through Army channels to authen-
ticate their story. 1t was true. For
two centuries Gablonz, in north
eastern Czechoslovakia, had been
world famous in the glassware and
costume jewelry trade. 1t was a
city of 25,000 highly skilled ar
tisians whose products from sew
eral hundred small workshops
were in great demand throughout
the world. But Gablonz had fallen
under control of the Communists.
And the GablonZ free enterprisers
couldn't knuckle under to the Reds.
One day the Communist militia
came and drove the people from
their homes and workshops.
The Gablonzers had to leave be-
hind their priceless tools, their
property, virtually everything they
owned. Gablonz became a ghost
town; its people scattered and flee
ing westward toward freedom.
The U. S. Army officer impro-
vised housing and shop arrange
ments for the ID Czechs. The in
dustrious refugees earned their up
keep, and they began Working at
their creative art. Other Czechs
from Gablonz came to the old am
munition dump. When the Gablon-
The Republican., 1957-12-19

zers began to merchandise their
wares, U. S. authorities helped a
little with housing and leased them
land space on the dump. The men
borrowed axes, felled trees, hauled
them and had them cut into rough
timber for their expanding needs.
In 1947, when the U. S. Army unit
moved, there were four firms of
Gablonzers, working % people. The
Army c. o. shook his head, unbe-
lieving: The four firms were sell
ing merchandise as far away as
America!
Two years later many more
Czechs from old Gablonz had ar
rived; there were by then 156 firms
with 1,470 people working.
Today the ammunition dump has
disappeared; so have the first crude
buildings of the Czechs. On their
sites the Czechs with loving care
have built a model little city, one
of the most colorful in the world
NeuGablonz has a population of
$4,000 of which 5000 are ARTISAN S
working in more than 300 small
shops. Other of the original ar
tisians of old Czechoslovakian Ga

Kaufbeuren. And there is third

Markit Oberdorf.
l spent a half day here, talking
with Max Wabersich, one of the
original bedraggled IA who is now
chairman of the Gablonz Industries
Association; with some of the shop
owners and artisans, and viewing
the glittering array of jewelry and
beautiful glassware. The Associa-
tion's books were opened for me.
These irrepressible enterprisers ex-
ported more than $25 million in
products to As countries last year,
about So million to the U. S.
Free enterprise and our faith
in our own ability have combined
to build our new life and our new
