listic. Our foreign assistance
program over the years has
been directed toward dealing
with the 2 great challenges OF
our time: the persistent pres
sure of Communism and the
developing world of new ma
ltions.
Khrushchev's statement that
1--WE will bury you" contains an
Important moral for all Amer
leans. Today we are in a state
of war as much as we were on
Dec. 7, 1941-a state of war
that neither words nor right
eous indignation will halt.
The all-out struggle with
Communism demands Of US the
same sustained determination
that characterized our efforts
in World War II. 1t is not
enough to arm ourselves. The
lglobal character Of the conflict
requires that we deploy our re-
sources in concert with those
who share our views and
values.
U. 8. or Soviet?
The second and most recent
focus of our assistance pro-
gram concerns the emerging
nations. Just to say that they
should not have become ma
tions, that they should not
have been taken into the
United Nations, does not help
or solve any of the pressing
problems. 1t is an international
fact of life that these nations
do exist and will continue to
emerge. The real question be-
fore us is whether these new
nations will draw their inspira-
tion from us or from the Com
munists.
Is It not IN our interest and
security to accept the challenge
and provide them with leader
ship and assistance in this for
NATIVE period of their national
life? If we measure our ma

Women Astronauts
A special Subcommittee of
the House Science and Astro-
nautics Committee will open
hearings July 18th on the ques-
tion Of having women serve as
astronauts in the space pro-
gram. This announcement was
made at the time the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
stration stated that Navy Com
mander Walter M. Schirra had
been selected from the astro-
naut team to make a possible
six-orbit flight in late summer.
Schirra was backup pilot last
May oath to Navy Commander
M. Scott Carpenter, who like
1t. Col. John Glenn. has sue
cessfully orbited the earth
three times.
Under tentative consideration
are IL women astronauts who
have passed the same tough
p h y ysical and psychological
tests given the men. Under
existing law, only men are
presently considered for space
flights. Therefore, it will be
interesting to observe the re-
suits of the forthcoming hear
ings with respect to giving
women a more active part in
our space effort.
Older People
The Federal Council on
Aging recently issued a report,
How the Government Works
for Older People" which shows
a tremendous increase in gov
ernment programs dealing with
problems Of the aging. For ex-
ample, in 1852 only 100000
was being spent in research
specifically relating to aging
and the diseases of old age. In
1862, the amount earmarked
for research now being carried
on by the Public Health Service
is $685. million.
In 1862. no program existed
for expanding housing specifi-
cally for older people. During
1862, more than $3.50 million
will go into Federal Housing
for the Elderly" programs.
This is a result Of amendments
to the Housing Acts Of 1856,
1859, and 1861.
These acts provide: assist
ance to older people to finance
The purchase Of homes Of their

vate, non-profit corporations.

What DODOCtOrSDO
When TheySuffer
HEADACHE PAIN?

New York, N.Y. Most doctors live
under constant nervous tension,
pressure and mental strain. It's
not surprising they, too, often
sufferfrom miserable headaches.
But now - it can be revealed
what doctors, themselves, take
to relieve headache pain.
A survey shows many doctors
take the fast, pain-relieving in
gradients in Anacin@. In fact,
three out of four doctors recon-
mend this same type of relief
to their patients.
Anacin Tablets are stronger
yet safer. They give fast, long
lasting and = more complete
relief from tense, nervous head
aches than aspirin or aspirin
with buffering. You see, mere
aspirin or buffered aspirin con-
tains only one pain reliever. But
Anacin is different. Anacin is
like a doctors prescription. That
Evening star., 1962-01-17

is, a combination of medically
proven ingredients recognizes
for their effectiveness by tb~
highest medical authorities.
Anacin gives extra medication
that not only relieves pain fasl,
but also its nervous tension,
pressure and depression.
After taking Anacin - pain
goes in minutes! The sufferer
feels great again.
Despite their strength and
effectiveness -Anacin Tablets
contain no narcotics, do not
form a habit or leave one de-
pressed. Anacin may be taken
as directed as often as needed
without upsetting or irritating
the stomach.
See if the extra medication in
Anacin doesn't work better for
you. Change to Anacin for fast,
long-lasting, more complete
pain-relief.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Once
or twice a year I get some kind
of digestive disturbance which
lasts two to three weeks at
a time. I have pressure and
a gnawing sensation in the
region of the stomach. Some
times the pressure seems to
be higher up in the chest.
Often I wake up in the mid
die Of the night because of
this discomfort.
After a meal I feel better,
but two or three hours later
I have the same trouble. I
usually have a healthy ap-
petite, but during these sick
spells I can't eat much. What
is the cause of this discom-
fort? Could it be stomach ul-
GERS? If so, what might be
the cause? I admit I have
irregular eating habits. l am

BILE. Your symptoms are typ

ly, your complaint of waking
up at night with the pain
(Chances are you go to the
refrigerator and take some
milk to relieve it so you can
fall asleep again.)
Anyone with symptoms like
yours should have a complete
examination. X-rays called a
CT series are essential. Usual
ly they will show up the ul-
Ger if there is one. Inciden-
tally, some people who have
no stomach symptoms at all
may show definite liberation

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I have
just heard from a friend of
mine that her child has CT
disease. She lives in another
city and seems quite upset.
Will you explain? Mrs. E. F.,
Boise, Idaho.
CT DISEASE is an abbre-
Walton for Cystic Fibrosis.
This is one of the most COM
mon chronic diseases Of in
fancy and childhood. 1t is in
herited but not contagious.
The trouble is usually in
the lungs or pancreaS of the
patient, where the normal Sc
cretions become thick and
sticky. They may clog the
lungs and prevent normal
breathing. In the pancreas,
the sticky mucuS prevents
normal engines from the
pancreas from taking part in
normal digestion.
About half of these patients
die before they are five years
old. The disease is stubborn
and resiSts treatment al
though some patients reach
their twenties. Research is 60
ing on in CT disease and
some day soon I hope we can
find treatment that will over
come it. AS of now, however,
it tries the soul and patience
Of both doctors and bewild-
cred families who are faced
with the problem.
