STOP KILLING YOURSELF
Chest Physicians
Loud KornfeId
. BY DR.. PETER J. sTEIElcRoHN

I wrote a column about a
man from Chicago a few
years ago and said, from my
lofty perch as a physician.
Hes only a layman, but If a
non-physician ever deserved
the Nobel Prize in Medicine,
here's the man."
But at the time I made no
formal nomination. There
fore I rise to nominate, at
this time, Mr.. mot DOCTOR
Murray Kornfeld, for this
prize in medicine.
Do I hear a second? From
the more than 1000 mem
bers Of the American College
of Chest Physicians through
out the world I'd expect no
less than 1000 seconds to the
nomination.
There's something about
this unobtrusive. efficient,
dedicated executive director
Of the college which evades
me. Considering what he
has wrought, and his appar-
ent unconcern about the stu
pendous contribution he has
made to mankind, I suppose
it's his selflesnsess and pure
humility that soon engulfs the
beholder.
How many people in the
world know his name? Yet
how many thousands have
been healed because Of this
physician, I know Of no
other layman who has done
as much with heart and head
to help humanity as this
friendly man. AS the founder
and the living sculptor Of
what consider to be one Of
the greatest medical or
CARNATIONS in the world, !
repeat seriously che will con-
siGer 1t a joke that Mr..
Murray Kornfeld deserves to
be considered for the Nobel
Prize in medicine. Ask his col
leagues. No doubt they will
smile. but not laugh, at the
suggestion.
For example, consider the
Japanese eulogy for him. At
a recent meeting Of the COL
lege In Japan this is what
DR.. 10 Ono, Regent for Japan,
said at the 10th Anniversary
Banquet OF the Japan Chap
ter In presenting a certificate
OF merit TO him:
"You have proved yourself
TO be a man Of initiative.
courage and vision. 1t was
you who founded the Ameri-
can College Of Chest Physi-
clans more than a quarter Of
q century ago. Since Its
founding you have been a
vital and effective force in
the furtherance of medical
education and research in
diseases Of the chest.
Your unselfish devotion,
has brought the College to a
position second TO none in
prestige. This can be attested
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-19

by the membership of more
than 1000 among 81 coun-
tries and territories through
out the world. To each sue
ceeding president you have
been a thoughtful counselor,
to the members of the col
lege's many committees you
have been a helpful mentor.
To the Fifth International
Congress held in Tokyo es-
pecially, and to our chapter
you have been an inspiring
advisor.
Let me add that to all Of
us you have given wealth of
wisdom, and I assure you
that you receive In return
our boundless gratitude and
admiration.
Therefore in the occasion
Of the 10th Anniversary of
the founding of the Japan
Chapter of the College, I
have the great pleasure, on
behalf of its members, to
present to you this certifi-
cate of merit as q mark Of
our appreciation and affec-
ton"
The Japanese have high
praise for him, and so has
everyone, myself included,
who has ever worked for him.
I'm not going to remain
silent and allow such a
human being to be over
looked. I want him to SAVIOR
our appreciation while he is
still around.

ON THE SIDE
BY PHILIP H. LOVE

There are two kinds of
pipe-smokers: the genuine
devotee, who chooses his briar
with care and treats it
lovingly, and the refugee
from the cigarette habit who,
to put 1t badly, is smoking
scared.
You can tell the true pipe
lover by the authoritative
way he grips the stem with
his teeth, the tenderness with
which he caresSes the bowl,
and his faithfulness to q
favorite brand of tobacco.
The other fellows pipe fits
neither his face nor his per-
sonality, he handles it care
lessly, even disdainfully, and
he's continually switching to-
baccoS. The only thing these
two smokers have in common
is the holes burned in their
clothes.
They have the same prob
lens, however. And not the
least of these is that, in the
eyes of tobacco bigotS, they
are second class smokers.
This discrimination is so
widespread that I'm thinking
seriously of establishing a
national association for the
protection of pipe-smokers.
On a recent bus trip from
Washington to New York
City, I was delighted to find
the seats were equipped with
ashtrays. I filled my pipe, lit
up and settled back for a
long, relaxing smoke. Before
I coulc puff up a good fire,
however, the driver called
out: You'll have to put out
that hay-burner, Mister. See
that sign?"
1t was the most callously
discriminatory sign I've ever
seen: Smoking Permitted
Except Cigars and Pipes"
Something's Burning
What a miserable trip that
was! For nearly five hours,
I was asSailed by the noxious
fumes Of cigarettes, but de-
MED the right to fight back
with the aromatic smoke of
my trusty briar. BY the time
that bus reached Manhattan,
something besides cigarettes
was burned up. Namely, me.
But I coold off on the
return trip by acting just az
sneaky as the bus company
and firing up my pipe in the
rest room. I think the driver
suspected a little old lady
who preceded me on several
trips down the aisle, but she
was a secret cigar smoker.

Pipe-Smoker Fumes
AT Tobacco Biqots'

Discrimination is practiced
in innumerable other ways,
subtle and unsubtle. Once,
attending a dinner party, I
was greeted at the door by a
lady - correction, woman
who smiled warmly while
saying coldly, do come in
but please park the incinera-
tor"
One of the subtle tech
niques is simply to neglect
to provide adequate ashtrays.
Those delicate, feminine
types that some hostesses
prefer are all right for ciga-
rettes, perhaps, but for a
pipe-smoker they're about as
useful as a wine glass at a
beer party. This is why ex-
perienced pipe-smokers al
ways carry at least four pipes.
It's also why, at even the
most genteel parties, you
sometimes smell rags burn
ing.
Why We Bulge
If most pipe-smokers have
a lumpy look, it's because of
all the paraphernalia they
must carry. In addition to
the spare briars, they need a
supply of pipe cleaners, a
knife or reamer, a straight
ended paper clip, at least one
good-sized pouch of tobacco,
and enough matches-prefer-
ably the wooden ones-to
start the biggest bonfire
since the one for which Nero
provided the violin accompa-
niment. Some pipe-smokers
also carry a lighter, but this
is only for use on formal
occasions - like when the
boSS's wife needs a light.
THE trouble with a pipe"
I've heard people say, "is
that when you stop putting
to talk for a minute or two,
1t goes out" Actually, this
can be an advantage. When
your boss asks a tricky ques-
ton, for example, you can
stall for time by putting
earnestly on your pipe. Or
when your wife asks why
you're an hour later than
usual getting home from
work, you can relight your
pipe with that elaboration
peculiar to our Xix, carefully
blowing out the first three
matches with your nose while
you null over the query.
Then you can answer
calmly, II ran out of tobacco
and had to go to five or
whatever you consider your
lucky number stores to find
my brand"
Another advantage is that,

In the beginning the Nc
Clellan committee was at
tackled directly and indi-
rectly from the Department
Of Defense, as If this highly
respected Senate group were
the Mccarthy committee In
the so-called "Army-McCar-
thy row" Of a decade ago.
That was a tactical mistake
quickly abandoned after a
good deal Of ground was lost.
The theme that prevails,
however, is that basically the
Mcclellan committee is do
ing harm by making an in
quiry Of this kind. It is dis
rupting. 1t challenges the au-
thority of the Secretary of
Defense. 1t weakens his con-
troll over arrogant comman-
ders of the armed services,
and heads us into q new
spiral of spending for weap-
ons systems we don't really
need. If Mr.. Mcnamara Is
reversed he will have to re-
sign, so it is said.
And it is in this respect
that the critics Of the Nc.
Clellan inquiry are the most
unrealistic. 1t is hard to
imagine, and certainly con-
trary to our traditions, that
any Congress would accept
the doctrine that a Secretary
of Defense makes life-and.

and is above giving a public
accounting for them.
Whether or not Mr.. Nc
Namara is considered a fully
automated superman whose
decisions should not be chal-
lenged, those decisions will
be, and are. challenged in
Congress.
The issue has now been
brought to the point of no
return because the Defense
Department was inept in
dealing with a justifiable
Senate inquiry. This inept-
ness grew from the superman
complex which has infected
civilian control of the De-
fense Department.

continue to think there is
political magic in so-called

The Republican Party,
however, is in need Of reor-

it to him to crystallize Re-

the whole episode is the fact
that, from one end Of the
country to the other. people
are speculating as to what
the political effects Of the

be.
This reveals the biggest
single defect Of the Ameri-

millions of voters there is
apparently no concern over
party principles or a candi-

apply them. The criterion
seems to be how the nominee
looks on television or what
church he attends or how he
and his wife get along.
1t makes one think that

Officials Accused of Strange Attitude
Toward Mcclellan Probe of Contract

have with the higher rated
Boeing plane.
1t is difficult to understand
why responsible and respected
officials should persist in try
ing to fog over what so
clearly appears in the Nc
Clellan record. The air and
sea commanders thought Sec
retary Mcnamara was wrong
in a vital national security
matter and said so frankly,
openly and forcefully.
Mr.. Gilpatric objects to
other similar inaccuracies"
with about as much grounds
as in the foregoing instance.
I dwell on this because it
is q small indication Of the
strange and unrealistic at
titude Of the Secretary of De-
fense and his associates to-
ward the Mcclellan inquiry.
Admittedly. the Tx inquiry
is a battling maze of tech
nicalities, but 1t is no more
impenetrable than the diver
sionary fogs created by the
Defense Department from the
beginning.
They wish to create the
myth, as did Mr.. Gilpatric in
his letter to me, that Mr.. Nc
Namara has not yet been able
to present the full facts to
the Mcclellan committee.
The truth is that Mr.. Nc
Namara was invited to make
the opening statement in the
hearing. He did not do so and
even Mr.. Gilpatric admitted
this might have been a mis-
take"
Mr.. Mcnamara has pre-
sented a 32-page statement
to the committee. He was

Kennedy with a list Of ques-

Deputy Secretary Of De-
fense Roswell Gilpatric has
written to me at length, OBJ
jecting to a recent article on
Defense Secretary McNama-
ra's ordeal with the United
States air and sea comman-
ders.
These service chiefs have
made a strong case against
Mr.. McNamara's judgment
in testimony before the Nc
Clellan investigating commit
tee on his award of q 81 bill
lion contract for a new air
weapons system to General
Dynamics Corp. instead Of
the lower-bidding Boeing Co.
The Deputy Secretary's let
ter, I fear, reveals the my
opia Of defense officials in
reading the record thus far
spread before the Mcclellan
committee.
He has tried to persuade
me, as he has others, that
General Lemay was in agree
ment with Mr.. Mcnamara on
the basis Of testimony given
by the air chief in February
before the House Armed d
Services and Appropriations
Committees.
Speaking then in the con-
text Of Mr.. McNamara's de-
cision on a single fighter
plane (TFX) for both air and
sea services, Gen. Lemay
said:
"And both the Navy - I
think I can speak for Ad-
miral Anderson on this-and
I are satisfied that we are
going to get a good vehicle,
and we are both satisfied
with It,"
Now let us see what Gen.
Lemay said on April 4 when
the real issue Of the choice
between Dynamics and Boe-
ing was before the McClel-
Ian committee. He testified
he and General Mckee went
to Air Force Secretary
zuckert to protest the deci-
sion when they learned of it.
I'VE expressed our surprise
at his decision and told him
we thought 1t was wrong"
testified Gen. Lemay.
Chairman Mcclellan: "You
told him whatP"
Gen. Lemay: I'VE told him
we thought he had made a
wrong decision. He didn't
discuss any details with us
at ALL"
This is merely a telescoped
version Of an emphatic and
explicit statement by Gen.
Lemay on Mr.. McNamara's
wrong" decision.
The testimony of the Chief
of Naval Operations, Admiral
George Anderson. was more
eloquent, but no less explicit,
that the Mcnamara decision
was wrong and failed to give
United States flyers the ledge
of advantage" they should
