Eden nUndergoes
Boston Surgery;
No MaIignancy

BOSTON, April 1S (R.-Sir
Anthony Eden was operated on
lin New England Baptist Hos
pital today for a bile duct OBJ
struction, and surgeons said he
withstood the surgery well and
that there was no malignancy.
DR.. Richard B. Cattell of the
Lahey Clinic performed the op-
Grafton. Observers were Sir Hor-
ace Evans, Sir Anthony's per-
sonal physician who few in
from London early today at DR..
Cattell's invitation. and DR.. John
w. Norcross of the Lahey staff.
DR.. Cattell operated on the
59-year-old former Prime Min
lister in 1858 and inserted an
artificial hillary tube to aid Sir
Anthony's recovery from a gall
bladder operation performed ear
lier that year in London.
Tube Eliminated
Today DR.. Cattell found the
tube had gone-that 1t had
passed into the intestines and
out OF the system. This occurs
often. the surgeons explained.
There was no way of knowing
of this development before sur.
gerry because the artificial tube
does not show up in X-ray.
A bulletin signed by the three
doctors after Sir Anthony had
been returned to his room said
the site of the obstruction was
found in the right "hepatic
duct" DR.. James E. Fish, admins
istrator of the clinic, explained
this is a small duct near the
right side of the liver.
The bulletin said the con-
Stricted area was dilated and
that this condition was the cause
OF the recent attack of fever.
1T was not found necessary
to insert a new tube" the clinic
bulletin continued. There was
no inflammation of the colon
and no malignancy."
Sir Anthony made a long flight
from New Zealand - where he
had been vacationing - to get
medical attention for frequent
severe attacks of fever. He ar
rived here last Sunday, accom-
panied by his wife, Lady Cla-
rissa, niece of Sir Winston
Churchill. She visited him
briefly after the operation and
then returned to her hotel. Later
she spent nearly an hour in Sir
Anthony's room.
Messages Encourage Him
Tests and examinations took
up the week until yesterday when
1T was announced the operation
would be performed.
| Sir Anthony was encouraged
by messages from Queen Eliza
beth and Prime Minister Harold
A. Macmillan yesterday. The
Queen expressed the hope his
recovery will be rapid and COM
plete." Earlier in the week, the
diplomat received other mes
sages from President Eisenhower
and Secretary of State John Fos-
ter Dulles.
DR.. Fish said no further bull
'letin on Sir Anthony's condition
were planned for today, but that
one would be issued tomorrow.

on Saturday, an accumulation OF
mail on Monday morning is
customary. But there were some
special problems.
Robert N. Davis, production
chief for Leatherneck Magazine
at Henderson Hall in Arlington,
said the shutdown might give
us a bad time if it continued.
1--WE mail our copy to Balti-
more every day and they mail
proofs back to u.s." the editor
said. "And our pictures go to
Richmond for engraving and
come back as cuts each day. If
this keeps on, we'll have to switch
to bus service"
Mail Payments Extended
Herbert D. Ford, District sales
manager for American Airlines,
said the shutdown caused a "a
hour extension through Monday
OF all time-limit reservations on
which mail payment was due
yesterday.
IF a time-limit check was due
Saturday, we've issued instruc-
tions not to cancel the reserva-
tion." Mr.. Ford said, because
this is something beyond the
control of the customer. We have
extended them to cover the time
gap"
Internal Revenue Service Of
ficials pointed out that taxpayers
should not be affected by the
postal conditions. They said in
come tax returns postmarked
Monday, April Is, would be ac-
cepted. 1t was also indicated
they would be slow to penalize a
taxpayer if this postmark dead
line was not met.

EAST FRONT EXTENSION
Estimated cost: $42 million.
In 1855, Congress approved the
project, and named a flve-man
commission to direct it. Congress
appropriated SIS million to start
it in 1855. and another $l2 mil
lion last year. The commission,
meanwhile. has named promi-
nent architects to design the
extension. and three engineering
firms to draw plans. 1t is their
report which is due next month.
Officials in the Office of Capt.

however, it was learned that pro-
posals would include huge under
