Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: /
have a problem and l hope
you can be Of some help.
About two years ago had a
nervous breakdown and had
a very rough time getting on
my feet.
And now / feel weak and
very depressed. 1 don't have
that happy feeling l used to
have. l am going through
the menopause and l feel
that this may be causing
some Of my trouble.
But my doctor won't give
me any hOrmOne shots. From
what other women have told
me, they sometimes are a
great help. Tell me what l
can do to feel better, have
more pep and a better dis
position. I will appreciate it
very much. Mrs. B. L.
y Il u
I can't say whether your
nervous breakdown was related
to your menopause. However,
it is true in rare cases that
there have been severe emo
tional upsets caused by "the
change" Involutional mel
ancholia is the medical term
for that. But your own doctor
must determine the actual
cause for your nervousness.
Most women negotiate the
change" without difficulty.
Let's suppose, though, that
your depression and weakness
are due to the glandular
changes that take place during
the menopause. There are two
schools Of thought as to what
is the advisable treatment. One
believes that hormones should
not be given. The other, of
which I am a member, is
thankful that we have such
medication at hand.
I recall a well-known and
excellent gynecologist-highly
regarded by his own colleagues
who never gave his patients
the benefits Of hormone treat
ment. I asked him why. He had
two stock answers. One, they
don't do any more good for
patients than a little reassu-
rance and some mild sedatives. +"
Two. he thought that "hor-
mones might produce cancer
in his patients"
I used to disagree with him.
I would say that as an internist
l probably saw more women
during the menopause than he
did. And that l had the OPP
portunity to see that hormones
had helped relieve women of
their fatigue and depression. l
also told him that the burden
of proof was on him when he
said that hormones caused
cancer.
X 4 X
At this time. some years later,
I still believe that hormone
therapy under a doctors care
is safe. I know of nothing in
the medical literature that
proves that hormones cause
cancer.
I also believe that small doses
of hormones - bring about
better disposition and more
pep"-and. repeat again. that

ON THE RECORD
IsroeEs See No Peace
By DOROTHY THOMPSON

Should these fail to material
ize a government crisis will
undoubtedly develop, perhaps
under the leadership of
'Herut" (the successor organ
ization to the Irgun terrorist
organization that operated
against the British, which
has recently recruited fairly
heavily from Ben-Gurion's
Mapai party.
1t was significant to en-
counter so much bitterness
over Israel's external depend
ency. When sanctions were
discussed many people said,
First. sanctions have never
worked in application. and
they certainly won't in our
case. Many countries will bolt
any attempt to starve us into
submission" But there is no
public gratitude for aid; rather
there is resentment that it is
necessary-partly as a result,
be 1t said. of Israel's own poll
cies, which have encouraged
unlimited immigration and
held out prospects Of a living
standard that Israel, of herself,
is no more able to meet than
any other small Middle East
ern state, and less than some,
such as her even smaller neigh
Dor. Lebanon.
But Ben-Gurion's coalition
government rests to a great
extent on the Federation OF
Trade Unions (Histradut) who
are the least willing to sacrifice
any social gains"
The one thing all Israelis are
quite certain they can still do
is to shoot their way out of the
hostile Gordon that surrounds
them and dictate a settlement
with Egypt. They feel that had
they been allowed to do so
there would be peace in the
Middle East today. At whose
cost that peace would be
achieved does not concern
them. as it seldom concerns
any nation whose survival is at
stake.
The Israel-Egypt issue is the
first real test of the Eisenhower
doctrine and of United Ma
tions power. The latter must
be able and determined to dis
cipline both parties if it is to
be effective. But so far it TENDS
to hope for the best and start
actions in advance of commit
ments - such as clearing the
Suez Canal before knowing un-
der what conditions it will re-
sumo operation.

1t was always an error to
think that Israel's withdrawal
from GAIA would of itself bring
peace. When l wrote from
there a month ago Col. Chain
Gaon. Israel's military COVER
nor. expressed the view that
a United Nations emergency
force would not have the
powers necessary to maintain
order and prevent organized
raids from GAIA into Israel
from occurring again. Even
now the emergency force lacks
instructions to shoot maraud-
ers or do anything except in
self-defense.
Unhappily In GAIA, for
which no status has ever been
devised except that of an oc-
cupied country. whoever gov
ems must mean business.
When the ISraelis entered they
rooted out most of those
Fedayeen leaders who had not
fled with the retreating Egyp-
tians. and executed an un-
revealed number of them, pre-
sumably imprisoning others.
Thereafter the area was quiet.
There were no hostile mass
demonstrations such as greeted
the arrival of UNEF, for the
obvious reason that they would
have been dealt with sum-
marily and the population
knew it.
The prospect of Egypt COM
ing back in any capacity agi-
tates Israel because of the
conviction that raids will be
resumed. and the Egyptian
government has given no
pledge that I know of that
they will not. But to return
to the pre-November status
quo is bound to set in motion
forces that may lead to a
repetition of the events of
that time. One should not ex-
pect so taut a people as the
1sraelis to settle down into
again tolerating the nervous
strain that preceded their
march into Sinai and GAIA.
Mr.. Ben-Gurion gave in on
withdrawal under the threat
of sanctions. the Israeli econ
omy, subsidized as it is by
enormous external aid, being
peculiarly vulnerable. But a
great many Israelis were pre-
pared to reduce economic life
to subsistence level rather than
yield. and a majority undoubt-
eddy followed Ben Gurion only
because of the '"hopes" and
assumptions" which he ad-
vanced to justify withdrawal.
