The use of surgery and drugs
in the modern treatment of tu-
berculosis will be explained at
the patient-family conference to
be held Sunday, October %, at
200 p. M, at the Emily P. Bis
sell Hospital.
Such conferences are held
periodically to give patients and
members of their families bet
ter understanding of the di-
sease, and of the special needs
and capabilities of patients dis
charged from the hospital.
Many patients continue to re-
quire drugs after they are dis
charged. Some are limited in
the amount of physical activit-
les they can safely perform.
''It is important that the pa
tent and members of the fam
lily understand how the patient
must continue to take care of
his health when he returns home
from the hospital" said DR.. Ma
thaniel Young, medical director.
This is important to both the
patient and the community, for
tuberculosis is a communicable
disease. "The role of the hos
pital, and the states entire tu-
berculosis program, is both to
treat the patient and to protect
the community"
The use of surgery in the
treatment of tuberculosis will be
explained to the patients and
their families by DR.. John j.
Reinhard, Jr., surgeon. The di-
seased portion of a lung is re-
moved in cases considered suit
able for treatment by surgery.
DR.. Young will take part in
the program, explaining the use
of drugs in treating tuberculosis
in the hospital and in the home.
w. c. Anderson, hospital adj
ministrator, will preside at the

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IS
(AP).-Hunters were advised
today to put aside the tradi.
tional red trappings and wear
as much yellow as possible
when going into field and
woods.
DR.. Bernard Kushner, preso
ident Of the Vision Conserva-
ton Institute, said red is not
quickly spotted either by
color blind hunters or those
with normal vision. The in.
stitute Is q non-proflt organi.
cation sponsored by optome.
trists.
The Institute suggested
that hunters wear not only
yellow caps and jackets, but
pants and boots Of the same
color. for the greatest safety.
"Optometric research has
found yellow to be the safest
and most visible color at a
distance" DR.. KuShner said.
yet some 10 per cent Of the
hunters continue to wear red
or plaid. Some even persist
in wearing olive drab. which
becomes a wonderful cam.
outage in the fall foliage.
This invites disaster"
He said orange is the sec.
ond best color, and that
greens are more readily de.
tected than reds and blues.

that we can still maintain wild
elk in Virginia in the face of
an expanding civilization" Mr..
Mclaughlin adds. Anyone can
keep elk in a ZOO. but manage
ment calls for a harvestable
surplus. It is the hope of the
United States Forest Service
and the Virginia Game Com
mission that this can be accom-
plished on a limited scale by
carefully watching the herds
while allowing a short season."
Virginia also has excellent
bear hunting in some mountain
areas. The season opens con-
currently with the deer season
and extends through January S
but. practically speaking, there
is no bear hunting until after
the deer season except for an
animal that may very rarely be
encountered in the woods.
Bear hunting is done with
hounds and dogs are barred in
the woods west of the Blue
Ridge during the deer season.

BOWLING
WITH ROD THOMAS

For "a weeks Bill Sells, cap
tain Of the Silver Spring Bowl
team in the Major Travelling
League, was unable to hit 200
for a game or 600 for a series.
In the first game of a match
with Fair Lanes Virginia in the
leagues last session at Wheat
on Bowling Center, Sells made
a strong bid for a 200, but had
to settle for 1913.
You'll get there yet." some
body quipped.
He did, in the very next
game. with a 233.
T", said Sells, "have ar
rived"
1t was a true word in Jest.
In the third string he blasted
a 230, and there he was with
his first 900, a 656 that made
a show Of most OF the rest of
the league. His best previous
was a 536!
Only one bowler was able to
top Sells series, and to do it
ne set a season record for the
league with a single OF 279.
Mike Fremming of Greenbelt
Lanes. with other games Of 1866
and 232. totaled 677. In the
279 Fremming struck all the
way except in the third box
where No. 10 stuck. The previ-
GUS high was Art Johnson's 26S.
rolled a week before for
Wheaton.
Bob Pashkoff. proprietor of
Congressional Plaza Bowling
Center. a gifted jokesmith,
called it a joke on the rest of
the league when Congressional
Plaza tied Greenbelt Lanes for
the lead. Greenbelt, too, is his
baby. In total pins, Congress
sional is ahead a mere five.
It's a dilly of a race otherwise

HUNTING
and
FISHING

Duck hunters will be taking
to their blinds Saturday morn
ing for the opening OF the sea-
on in Maryland and Virginia at
noon. II the weather is vile
enough. they may bag their
limits.
Only on opening day does
hunting start at noon. From
then through January Z ducks
and geese may be hunted from
a half hour before sunrise until
sunset.
AS for bad weather, it is ira
ditional that duck hunting is
best when the weather Is the
worst. That's been true So far
in the goose season. There are
lots Of geese this fall but too
many quiet. sunny days.
80
Latest word from Ducks Un-
limited Of Canada is that the
annual migration Is about com.
plete. The southwark move-
ment. the report says, has
been leisurely and difficult to
evaluate.
This leisurely movement was
stepped up in mid-October by
arrival Of snow and freezing
temperatures and most of the
birds left Manitoba and Sas-
katchewan by the end of the
month. Alberta still has a good
population in the southern part
of the province but these should
be gone as temperatures drop.
There are three methods Of
duck hunting in the Chesapeake
Bay country - from blinds,
sneak boats or by body
booting."
Blinds are strung out in all
sections Of the Bay, in its trib-
utaries and in bays and marshes
along the coast. Some are for
lease by day, week or season but
many are controlled by private
clubs.
Sneak boats, heavily camou-
f1aged, are used on the Su5oue-
hanna Flats. up the Monocacy
and Potomac and over on the
seacoast.
Body booting is legal only on
the Susquehanna Flats. Al
hunter. in rubber gear, wades
out to waist or chest depth,
surrounds himself with decoys
and waits for the ducks. Since /
1T is a cold business, he soon
must return to the John Goose
or cabin boat that accompanies
him.
Heavy restrictions probably
will curtail duck hunting this
season as it did last, when
stamp sales were down sharply.
Only three ducks per day may
be taken and these may not in
clude any canvasbacks or red
heads.
1t seems that bicarb has a
lot Of uses besides easing the
mlseries caused by your own
camp cooking.
II your feet are sore from
hunting, soak in soda solu-
ton.
If woolen socks got damp,
they're probably stiff as a.
board. Soak in soda and hang
to dry. They will not only have
shed their stiffness but odor,
too.
Soda eases the itch and
sting OF briar scratches. Add
a little water to a painful and
apply the paste to the affected
areas.
Bicarb also is useful for
cleaning camp utensils and
you can even use it on the
camp fire. Sprinkle on a little
and the fire burns at an even
pace. Put on a lot and it acts
as an extinguiSher.
All this is from the bicarb
publicistS, but it makes sense

A District restaurant pro-

in the fatal shooting of a PROV
Ter. was released yesterday
pending a coroner's inquest
early next week.
Municipal Court Judge
Thomas c. Scalley ordered the
release of Tom Fook, 60, on
personal bond in the custody
of his attorney.
Mr.. Fook had been held by
police for the death of Johnny
N. Bell, "a, who was shot while
prowling the basement of Mr..
Fook'S restaurant on North
Capitol street on December 81.
Bell, of the first block of @
street NV, died yesterday at
the Washington Hospital Cen
ter.
He was struck by one of two
bullets fired by Mr.. Fook when
he surprised Bell and another
man in the basement of the
Tom Boy Restaurant at 1927

Mr.. Fook, who lives above the
restaurant, was awakened by
noises. The second man, Aaron
Slade, 81, of the 1000 block of

President Eisenhower at his

President Eisenhower at his
press conference yesterday
brought into focus a question
that has been worrying many
people-just why some poll
ticians are becoming so anx-
ious to prove the alleged in
adequacy of our defenses.
The President rightly de-
clares this isn't a partisan
matter at all.
IT don't have to be parti-
san," he said, "and I want to
tell you this: I've spent my
life in this. and I know more
about it than almost anybody,
I think, that is in the coun-
try, because I have given my
life to it, and on a basis of
doing what is good for the
Cove vernmen and for the
country.
II believe that the matter
of defense has been handled
well and efficiently in the
proposals that will be before
the Congress within a matter
of a day or so. I think those
people that are trying to
make defense a partisan mat
ter are doing a disservice to
the United States"
These words have been long
overdue. For many months
the politicians have been
spreading alarms to the effect
that Russia is ahead of U.S."
The implication is that the
United States is inferior in q
military sense. Indeed, one of
the newSmen at the PreSi-
dents press conference said
some critics of the adminis-
tration'S defense program"
were saying that, in future
talks with Nikita Khrushchev,
Mr.. Eisenhower would be at
a disadvantage because Of the
prospect that the United
States will be second best In
the missile field"
Time and again the Presi-
dent and high ofiicials Of the
Government have given pub
lie assurance that the United
States may be ahead in some
weapons and behind In
others but that, from an

CONSTANTINE BROWN
A Proposal for the Far East

has made it a show window.
1t is sure to enjoy a peaceful
and erouS existence
without any further threat Of
invasion. OF its 10 million in
habitants. only slightly more
than 2 million are mainland
Chinese; the rest are native
Taiwanese who for nearly 10
years have had nothing to do
with the mainland. And in as
far as we are concerned, ac-
cording to the proponents of
this Far East peace solu-
tion," it would get us out of
a tight spot which could in
volve us almost any day in a
shooting war with the Com
munists.
The project. according to
some reports, had been
broached to President Eisen-
hover last November but he
is said to have remained non-
committal. 1t is also believed
that the matter of the crea-
ton of the new independent
and neutral republic of Tai
wan was a topic of conversa-
ton between Prime Minister
Khrushchev and some Sena-
tors who entertained him
during his visit to Washing
ton. Mr.. Khrushchev regard
ed it as an important step
toward relaxation of tensions
and peaceful coexistence.
Some sources believe he
carried the message" to
Peiping when he visited the
Communist capital immedi-
ately after his trip to
America.
No information is available
whether either Chang Kai-
shek or other leaders of the
Nationalist government have
been officially or otherwise ap-
preached on the subject. But
the belief exists in certain
quarters in Washington that
the Taiwanese people might
favor the settlement because
it would relieve them of the
burden of maintaining the
present large and costly mill
tary force and of the daily
threat Of being invaded.

Blast at Partisan Critics of Defenses
Louded as Long Overdue

overall standpoint, this
country is not inferior in a
military sense to any country
in the world. The President
said:
Il believe in the United
States power, and I believe
1t is there, not to be used, but
to make certain that the
other fellow doesn't use his:
and I am not in the slightest
degree disturbed by such a
possibility as you speak Of"
The United States has
ample deterrent power. 1t
can destroy an enemy. The
degree of its destructive
power is arguable, just as is the
power of any other country.
But Mr.. Eisenhower is a loyal
American with a military
background. If he thought
for one moment that, by the
expenditure of larger and
larger sums, Americas de-
fenseS would be materially
better than they are today,
he would not hesitate to urge
such spending. He knows the
military problems of a world
war. He has commanded the
biggest armed forces ever as
sembled. He knows strategy.
Yet President Eisenhow-
er's attitude toward defense
is questioned by partisans
who wish to make political
capital of 1t. Likewise, his
judgment is questioned by
many who have q particular
weapon or service viewpoint
10 advance.
Few people know all sides
Of the defense problem, and
certainly only q man inside
the Government with access
to the confidential reports of
the free worlds intelligence
agencies can size up the
meaning of all the claims as
TO whether Russia is ahead
and by how much and what
1t would mean II there were
q war today or five years
from now.
The pressure for military
spending is perennial. 1t has
gone on for decades. There
