Thomas DOOley
Laos jungle Doctor
Dies of Cancer

NEW YORK Up = Thomas
Dooley, lion-hearted young doc
tor who battled disease in the
Laos jungle even when he him
self became ravaged by Gripping
cancer, died in his sleep Wednes-
day night at Memorial Hospital.
Death came just one day after
his 34th birthday.
Dooley, brought to the hospital
Dec. 81 wearing a brace from
shoulder to hips, insisted he was
going to continue his work if
his .fIron Maiden" enabled him
to get around-and characteristic
ally added:
81 am not going to quit I will
continue to guide and lead my
hospitals until my back, my brain,
my blood and my bones collapse"
Dooley's dedication to relieving
the plight of the underprivileged
and ailing began seven years ago
while he was Navy doctor.
In 1854, at the end of the war
in Indochina, his ship aided in
evacuation of refugees from Com
munist North Wet Nan.
Seeing and feeling - the
plight of the hundreds of disease
wracked inhabitants of the area
made up Dooley's mind.
He had no money. But he had
fighting heart, boundless energy
and a burning zeal.
After leaving the Navy in 1856
Dooley wrote best-selling book,
Deliver Us from Evil" He used
the books proceeds, and supplies
donated by pharmaceutical firms.
to return to Laos with three form
er Navy buddies and set up a
small hospital at Nam Tha. He
brought in his medical supplies
by train, plane, oxcart and dug
out canoe.
For his work with the refugees,
Dooley won the Legion of Merit,
and was the youngest officer in
the history of the Medical Corps
to receive it. He also was award
ed the National Order of Wet
Nam, that nations highest deco
ration.

Eisenhower Rejects Major
Recommendations for
Trans-Pacific Air Service
WASHINGTON Up - President
Eisenhower Thursday rejected
major recommendations of the
Civil Aeronautics Board for new
Trans-Pacific air service.
Eisenhower said his decision
not to approve the Boards prin-
cipal recommendations was predi-
Gated on considerations of foreign
policy. He said this responsibility
is his and that the board does not
share in it.
The principal recommendations
of the board which Eisenhower
disapproved:
/. That Pan American World
Anyways be allowed to fly from
New York through Alaska to
Tokyo on the great circle route.
z. That Northwest Airlines be
allowed to fly from Los Angeles
and San Francisco by way of the
Great Circle Route to Tokyo.
8. That Pan American be al
lowed to fly from California points
to Tokyo by way of Honolulu.
4. That Northwest be allowed to
fly from New York by way of
Honolulu to Tokyo.
The President had the final
say because international routes
were involved.

Chief Executives Inaugural Address
Stresses ''The New Quest for Peace

But "let us begin" he said, by
trying to achieve "a beach-head
of cooperation in the jungles
of suspicion"
The note he sounded during his
campaign, of young men setting
out again to push back a frontier,
echoed throughout a speech de-
voted in almost every word to
the problems that haunt peace
seeking world, rather than to
domestic issues.
LET the word go FORTH" he
proclaimed early in the address,
"that the torch has been passed
to new generation of Ameri-
cans born in this century,
tempered by war, disciplined by
cold and bitter peace, proud of
our ancient heritage, and unwill-
ing to witness or permit the slow
undoing of those human rights
to which this nation has always
been committed.
To the states emerging from
colonial status, "our word that
one form of colonial control shall
not have passed merely to be re-
placed by far more iron tyran-
n.y."
To these same states assurance
that 1--WE shall not always expect
to find them supporting our
every view" but a bit of advice
too:
Sin the past, those who fool
ishly sought to find power by
riding on the tigers back newt
ably ended up inside"
Kennedy added particular
pledge to the United Nations,
"our last best hope in an age
where the instruments of war
have far outpaced the instru-
ments of peace"
Both Sides
At length Kennedy addressed
himself soberly to "those nations
who make themselves our ad-
versary:"
'SWe offer not a pledge but a
request that both sides begin
anew the quest for peace before
the dark powers of destruction
unleashead by science engulf all
humanity in planned or accidental
self
LET both sides join to invoke
the wonders of science instead
of its terrors. Together let us ex-
plore the stars, conquer the des-
erts, eradicate disease, tap the
ocean depths and encourage the
arts and commerce"
He compressed his message to
friends, adversaries and fellow
Americans into 1,348 words of pre-
pared text, not much more than
half the average length of pre-
vious inaugural addresses-2,499.
Kennedy told his fellow Cit
zens: "In your hands more
than in mine, will rest the final
success or failure of our
| course "

John Q. Public
Opinions His Views
On the Presidency
By Hal BOYLE

by f1uL bOUle
NEW YORK Up = The job has
a big salary, a nice pension, and
you get to live rent-free in a fine
old house plentifully stated with
servants.
Your wife would hardly have
to lift her hand = let alone her
voice
Doesn't it sound like every
mans dream?
Well, every American mothers
son has a born right to aspire to
this wonderful job but most
of them say they wouldn't take
it for love, patriotism or money.
To them it isn't dream job. It's
living nightmare.
That job is the one 43-year-old
John F. Kennedy takes over to-
day the Presidency of the
United States.
A handful of professional poll
ticians present at the Inaugural
ton may sigh to themselves,
"why couldn't it have happened
to me? Why shouldn't I be the
one taking the oath?"
But the man in the street has
no envy at all of Kennedy, and
no desire for his new job. To
him it would be not a boon, but
an affliction. He'd rather be in
his own shoes than Kennedy's.
Why doesn't the average Ameri-
can want his country's top poll
teal job, often hailed as the
worlds most powerful post?
Here are typical answers from
sample survey:
"Too much responsibility"
"You have to make too many
important decisions. The way it
is now l can let my wife make the
decisions. She enjoys it. 1 don't"
"You have to try to please too
many people. Even then half of
them wind up hating you"
cit makes you old too soon
Ever notice how much older q
President looks after he's been
in office a few years?"
"Being President just doesn't
sound like it would be much fun.
You spend too much time holding
conferences or going to public
functions. Who wants that kind
of life? It would bore me-"
"You might have to decide to
send the country to war. If I had
a worry like that on my mind,
I'd never sleep at night"
"a President isn't really free
He's a kind of prisoner in a way
He has to be guarded all the time
against crackpots. That would
give me the willies."
The idea of living in the White
House also appalls many ordi-
nary American men - appealing
as the PROJECT might be to their
wives.
"It's too big" said one. It'd be
like living in railroad terminal.
1t wouldn't seem like home. It
wouldn't be comfortable.
"And who'd want all those SER
wants standing around listening
when your wife bawled you out?
Mel like a little more privacy
When it comes to guiding the
destiny of the nation, John @.
Public is more than glad to "let
George do it,"
Or, in this case. John F.

WASHINGTON Up = John F
Kennedy in his first moments as
President today invited the Com
, munist world to join in a new
beginning of 1.-The quest for
peace
After taking the oath as the
nations 35th Chief Executive,
Kennedy said in his inaugural
address:
LET us begin anew remem-
bering on both sides that civility
is not sign of weakness, and
sincerity is always subject to
proof. Let us never negotiate out
of fear. But let us never fear
to negotiate"
He said, 'let both sides explore
what problems unite us instead
Of belaboring the problems that
divide us.
Let both sides, for the first
time, formulate serious and pre-
else proposals for the inspection
and control of arms = and bring
the absolute power to destroy
other nations under the absolute
control of all nations"
But repeatedly he put the Com
munist bloc on notice that he in
tends no softening of American
purpose.

er it wish us well or ill.," Ken.
