Several reasons are given for
the sharply increased raids:
For one thing, the Wet Cong

Possibly more than 200 rebel

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Good Doctor Has Curiosity
By DR.. PETER ]. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
like my doctor except for one
thing-at times he seems to
get too curious. What l mean
is that he embarraSSes me
by personal questions. It's
certainly not much fun to
have to drag out the family
skeletons. For instance, I
had to admit that my father
was an alcoholic and that an
uncle was in a mental hos
pital. Also, that I am the
frigid type. Is all this nee
eSsary?-Mrs. X, U. S. A.
THE GOOD DOCTOR must
be a curious cuss. If he
doesn't dig down into your
present and past history, he
can't come up with any i'm
portant nuggets of informa-
ton.
In a recent speech in
Texas, the president of the
American Medical Associa-
ton. DR.. E. Vincent Askey,
said: II believe that it is
the duty of the physician to
know more about his patient
than just his physical and
mental troubles. From my
patients I like to know about
his family, his job, his back
ground and his church life.
AS a surgeon, this knowl-
edge can give me great as
sistance in preparing a pa
tient for an operation and
for his convalescence."
If this is true for a sur
geon, I think it is even more
so for his medical colleague.
When a patient comes to his
doctor with complaints,
chances are anywhere from
$3.50 per cent that the trou-
BILE is on a functional basis.
The patient has no actual
trouble with his stomach,
heart or any other organ.
the symptoms are due to an
emotional imbalance some
where.
It is for this reason that
the doctor must become Gu
rious If he hopes to help
his patient. Here is one pa
tient who suffers from head
aches. If the cause isn't ap-
parent after physical exam
ination, the Doctors job is
to discover that it's his busi-
ness partner who is guilty of
giving me a headache"
Here is a man who has a
spastic colon and a stomach
that punches up into a knot.

with supplies which might
otherwise have been bought
from the United States.
Despite the slow rebuilding Of
Treasury gold stocks, the
United States supply on June
30 was still SLIT billion below
the total of a year earlier.
A considerable improvement
in the United States deficit in
international payments has
contributed to the turnabout in
gold movements.
In the first quarter of this
year the deficit in payments
representing foreign aid loans
and grants as well as private
spending and investment
abroad-was estimated at an
annual rate of $1.1 billion. That
compared with $3.8 billion for
1860.
Some further narrowing of
the payments gap is believed to
have taken place in the quarter

slant pickering and argu-
ments at home bring on his
symptoms?
Or, here is a woman who
has insomnia and has wor-
ried herself sick. Unless she
admits that her husband is
an alcoholic weekend loser"
how will the doctor know the
real cause?
Be thankful, Mrs. X, that
your doctor is sufficiently in
terested to spend valuable
time on taking a good his
tory. In spite of embarrass-
ment, keep nothing from him.
Every answer is a clue. You
wouldn't expect the police to
track down a thief if you
withheld important informa-
ton. Well, illness is the big
gest thief of all. The surest
and quickest way to Shackle
him is to come clean" with

The Bell Tolls for Papa

Always he was a spectator,
when he wanted to be a par
ticipant. He hunted big game
in Africa and small birds
near Ketchum, Idaho. He
drank we'll and numbed his
impatience under cognac.
All of his killing was done
hunting game. He figured in
three wars, but there is no
record that Ernest Heming-
way ever killed a man. In
World War I, he drove an
ambulance on the Italian
Front. In the Spanish Civil
War, he was a correspondent
and picked the losing side.
In World War II, when I
was war editor at Golfers
he was our French cor
respondent after D-DAY.
That's when soldiers be-
gan to call him Papa. He
talked tough and he slept
with hand grenades and
bandoliers under his bed, but
he began to wear steel rim
med spectacles and he grew
a white beard. The thing he
tried to kill, and couldn't.
was pity. When a wounded
soldier cried with pain, Ernest
Hemingway blinked behind
the glasses, and his soul
wept.
He loved men and he was
at his best with them. There
were four wives and each
filled a current need, but the
last one, Mary, was his best
love. They lived, for a long
time at a place called Finca
Vigia, outside Havana. There
he came closest 20 the pure
serene happinSs he sought
writing The Old Man and the
Sea, fishing, living with his
true love, and meeting his
friends at a saloon in Ha-
vana.
After the advent Of Fidel
Castro. he left. He lived out
side Sun Valley, Idaho. and
his works earned him a for
tune and honors which ran
all the way up to the Nobel
Prize. The Franco govern
ment Of Spain forgave him
and he went back to the
country of his early literary
triunphs and. wrote a book
polka-dotted with the opin-
ions and spite of an ageing
man.
HIS CULT WAS strength
of body and mind. when the
body began to fail him, Hem
ingway could not forgive it.
He was imprisoned inside a
carcass which creaked with
years. There was no way out.
He watched his friends die
off in Sullen silence. Some,
like Gary Cooper, knew how
to leave with grace and a
courtly bow. A man had to
know how to die. AS each
one left, Hemingway knew
for whom the bell tolled. 1t
tolled for him.
