cal profession TO become a
writer so he would have more
leisure soon found he was
involved in two to four books
at once.
A result Of this bear-by-
the-tail situation is that DR..
Frank Slaughter, after "a
books in Is years, is among
the best selling authors in
the country and perhaps the
world.
Housewives. he says. can
make or break an author be-
cause they are the reading
public"
His paperback reprints sell
two million, a year and all
other editions including book
clubs bring his total sales to
over three million yearly.
Only Erskine Caldwell and
mystery writer Erie Stanley
Gardner outsell him, DR..
Slaughter claims.
Three Fields
He used to write fiction
each morning, nonfiction
each afternoon. Now to give
his output variety and to keep
his interest up he writes a
Biblical story, a modern med
ical story and a serious his
torical novel. But he is hunt
ing for a fourth field.
His new book, 'Lorena," a
Civil War novel, is reviewed
on this page and he has just
completed, Pilgrims in Par
adise," about a group of Pill
grims in the Bahamas in the
1600s.
The project uppermost in
his mind is a story with
a 1000 B. c. setting.
DR.. Slaughter works so
hours or more each week. He
writes in longhand on a vel
low tablet, dictates it each
afternoon, gives it to a typist,
then starts revisions.
Changes Needed
There are not two con-
secutive sentences in the
first draft which aren't re-
vised," he says.
DR.. Slaughter's hands move
constantly as he talks. Only
now and then can one tell by
his speech that he was
brought up in North Caro-
lima. He was born in 1908
here in Washington.
His eyes behind rimless
glasses are direct. He is ex-
tremely neat, does not drink
or smoke but objects to
neither and is a bargain
book hunter, keeping a con-
slant lookout for reduced
price source material.
DR.. Slaughter was graduated
magma cum laude from Duke
University in 1926 when he
was 10, entered Johns Hop
kins in 1926 and received his
MD. four years later. He was
a Jacksonville surgeon when
he was commissioned a ma
jor in the Medical Corps in
1912. He came out of World
War II a lieutenant colonel
in 1945.
Five Years Writing-S12
In 1885 he began writing
as a hobby and in the next
five years sold $12 worth of
fiction. He has written two
movies and two TV shows.
He lectures, has written
countless articles and some
short stories and has repeated
college offers to teach fiction.
He would like to do a little
teaching-if he can ever find
time.
DR.. Slaughter thinks out his
plot ahead of time but says
it must come spontaneously
or it is harsh. Half my story
problems solve themselves
while I'm shaving-maybe
it's the hum of the motor.
"At times I've built hiStor-
ical fiction as I thought it
might have been and then in
later research found out it
actually happened-you take
a set of humans and they'll
usually react in normal FASH
ion under given circum-
stances"
Cuts rs to 80 Per Cent
His Biblical novels take
about five months for the
first draft, his others a month
or so less. He writes 1000 to

done by Red aggression in far
away Hungary, it is said. Too
much United States involve
ment in the situation, officials
contend, would tend to blunt
this impact.
The State Department issued
a statement in March express
ing profound sympathy with
the Tibetan people in the fact
of "barbarous intervention" by
Peiping. But since then the
United States has been rela-
lively mum.
Meantime. officials are close
ly watching developments.
They noted with satisfaction
today's declaration by the Dalai
Lama, the fugitive religious and
political leader Of Tibet, that
he stands firmly by his recent
statement denouncing Com
munist rule in his homeland.
Wide-ranging impact both in
and outside of the Communist
bloc is expected to continue.
If the Dalai Lama decides to
set up a government in exile,
there would be the question of
whether to recognize his re-

BY the Associated Press

United States officials are
pursuing a policy of strategic
silence on Red China's bloody
suppression of the revolt in
Tibet.
The idea is that the Chinese
Reds have dealt their own
prestige and pretensions a ma
ior blow. in the eyes of millions
of Asians and Africans.
If the United States should
plunge into the argument and
pull out all the propaganda
stops, it would merely confuse
the picture, according to the
reasoning of many officials
here. 1t would enable the Red
Chinese to divert attention
from their own acts by pictur-
ing the situation as an East
West issue-a struggle between
the United States imperialism
and peoples democracy"
The Reds have made some
attempts to convince uncom-
mitted peoples that the United
States was behind the Tibetan
revolt, but it is believed they
have not succeeded in putting
this story across.
The shock of Communist
China's actions have opened
Asian eyes to the facts of COM
munism more than was ever

UAR Troops
Said 10 Line
Iraq Border

BAGHDAD, Iraq. April %
(AP) The Communist organ
Ittihad al Shaab reports hos
tile military preparations all
along our western border" and
warns President Nasser that
"Iraq Is a cemetery for in
vaders."
The newspaper quoted re-
ports that strong military units
of President Nasser's United
Arab Republic are stationed at
the Syrian towns Of Tel Alo.
Al-Hasakah. Der el zor and
Qamishly--all close to the Iraqi
border.
"Abdel Nasser has dis
patched to the northeast of
Syria large Egyptian units, es-
pecially Of the air force, to
prepare an armed attack
against Iraq." the paper said.
Ittihad's report conforms
with reports received here by
Western embassies of large
massings of troops and armed
tribesmen on both sides Of the
border.
According to Western infor-
nation, JAR troops and thou
sands of Bedouin warriors of
the Shammar tribe are con-
centrated around Del el Zor
in the Eastern Syrian desert.
Two brigades of Egyptian
soldiers arrived In Syria re-
Gently. Their present where
abouts are unknown, but there
is reason to believe some may
have been sent to Syria to help
maintain internal security.
Western reports say there
are large numbers of troops on
both sides Of the Iraqui-Syrian
border. Loyal Iraqi troops were
sent to the frontier in the wake
of the revolt at Mosul, in
Northern Iraq, last month,
these accounts say.
Shammars, the most power
full of Bedouin tribes extending
into Iraq, suffered a disastrous
defeat in Mosul where they
participated in the rebellion
against the influenced re-
gime of Iraqi Premier Abdel
Karin Kassem.
While his palace in MoSul
was being defended in a room
to-room battle, the Shammars'
paramount sheik, Achmad ALL
Alldyawar, fed across the des-
ert to Syria. Two members of
his family were killed by loyal
ist forces.
Under an old tribal code
Achmed Aiil would be required
to avenge them.
Most experts on tribal GUS
toms believe the code is passing
out OF existence in this day of
modern armies and warplanes,
but there is little doubt Ach-
mad ALL would be glad to
throw in with any movement
he thought had a chance
against Premier Kassem.
