In this connection he referred p

Other Differences
In addition to the question Of

these other points Of difference
between the Senator and the
Pentagon on estimates Of the

Senator Thurmond said So

three divisions, equalling a So

about 1900, and added that

SHEPPARD
Wife Describes Darkest Moments
When He Just Didn't Respond

Sheppard to George Washing

when I first saw him that
November" his internist said
in an interview, "he had de-
veloped an ulcer on the toes
Of his right foot.
Initial Benefit
1--WE tried to treat this con-
servatively, without amputa-
ton" At first, his patient
seemed to benefit and returned
home.
But by January 8. 1861, the
condition that had first looked
like athletes foot was clearly
gangrene, the death Of tissue
from lack of blood-borne nu-
trients. In gangrene, the tissue
dries and shrivels, turns green
ish yellow and finally brown
or black.
Mr.. Sheppard agreed to the
amputation of three toes and
a part of the arch Of the right
foot.
He was so crushed, so un-
happy and so miserable he Just
did not respond" Mrs. Shep-
pard said in an interview.
HE was able to come home,
but by a Friday, I guess 1t
was February 3, he had to re-
turn. But even back there, he
got worse"
He was to remain in the hos
pital for eight months. Records
show he had three more heart
attacks. Mrs. Sheppard saw him
as more dead than alive" and
his physicians felt there was
little hope.
Yet digitalis and oxygen
brought him back each time.
The disqualification was
mostly nightmare. The rest
of the right leg was removed.
An open sore developed
on his back and refused to
heal. Two plastic surgeons
grated over the ulcer in a
four-stage skin flap operation
. that failed.
Second Successful
The entire, lengthy. painful
procedure was repeated. The
second graft took.
The gangrene that caused
the amputation Of the right leg
appeared now on the left.
Further amputation was
needed, but 1t seemed doubtful
that Mr.. Sheppard could stand |
1t. In Washington alone, six
surgeons and other specialists
had helped carry Mr.. Sheppard |
this far. A heart consultant now
was called in and he agreed:
It's risky but go ahead, try.
The leg was removed.
Mr.. Sheppard's spirit also
During six of his
in the hospital, Mr..
Sheppard refused to eat. "He
told me later that he figured |
If he didn't eat he could get
1t all over WITH" Mrs. Sheppard
said. t
Instead, each day for six
months, Mrs. Sheppard fed him
herself. Much Of the time, he
recognized his wife. But his
children often found he did not
know them.
AS his physical condition i'm
proved, so did his mental out |
look. Visits from a new member
of his medical team, a psychia-
trist. helped.
so did a therapist," added
Mrs. Sheppard, who managed
to convey to him that he really
could do something II he
wanted to-"
Kidney Setback
His rehabilitation was set
back by a kidney flare-up that
caused another heart failure
and a brief deterioration of his
mental state. But he responded
to treatment and was soon
back exercising, restoring his
long dormant muscles.
II brought him home for an
afternoon. then a week end"
said Mrs. Sheppard. HE was
finally discharged october 7.

Gas Slick

Gasoline leakage from a dock
pipeline of the Shell Oil storage
tie minal on the Alexandria
waterfront produced a large
gasoline slick on the Potomac
River yesterday and posed a
danger of fire for a short while,
city firemen reported.
Shell officials said 1000 to

capped from the line connecting
the loading pier to the storage
area nearby before the leak
was discovered and stopped.
A terminal workman noticed
the gas on the water as crew.

barge prepared to unload their
inflammable cargo through the
pipeline to the storage tanks.
The barge quickly moved on
and proceeded further upriver
while two city engine compan-
les, as well as the District fire
boat, were called to the scene.
City firemen broke up the
dangerous slick on the waters

sealed off the area at the foot
of Madison street because of
the possibility Of fire until the
slick was dissipated.
Plant superintendent John F.
Kelley said sections of the
faulty pipeline would have to
be dug up in order to locate the
leak. But the flow of gasoline
was cut off by three valves i'm
mediately after the gas was
discovered in the water.

Crew of Soviet Sub
Soved by Diving Bell

MOSCOW, oct. IL (AP)-
The Soviet newspaper Izvestia
has reported the rescue of a
sunken Soviet submarine crew
by means Of a diving bell. The
report last night was the first
Western observers could recall
about a Soviet sub in distress.
Cause of the mishap was said
to have been a lack of oxygen
for blowing water out of the
submarine Puchina's ballast
tanks. The submarines crew
was brought safely to the sur
face, the report said.

BY GERRY HERNDON
Star Staff Writer

Army Sergt. Jack Edward
Dunlap, accused by security
agents of selling United States
secrets to the Russians, called
his wife the night before he
killed himself last July and
told her what he was going
to do. a Maryland police Off
cial said today.
The 35-year-old sergeant, a
resident of Glen Burnie, Md,
worked for the supersecret Ma
tional Security Agency at Fort
Meade, Md.
Anne Arundel County police
investigated Dunlap's death.
His body was found July %
in his cream colored Cadillac,
parked about three miles from
his home in the Fern Glen
subdivision of Glen Burnie.
Motor Was Running
Police said the Cadillac's
motor was running when the
body was found by a motorist.
A radiator-type hose had been
connected to the cars exhaust
pipe. The other end was
tapped to the autos right front
vent window.
A statement by Dunlap's
mother, Mrs. EloiSe Childs of
Slidell, La, that she believes
her son was murdered was dis
counted by county police.
County Police 1t. Walter
Kinsey said, There is nothing
whatsoever to the report that
it was anything but suicide"
On the evening of July %
Dunlap telephoned his wife
and repeatedly told her that
he was going to connect a hose
to his cars exhaust pipe and
take his life, police said.
Gasoline Purchase Traced
The sergeant, police said,
also told her he was going to
buy gas to fill the Cadillac's
tank. Mrs. Dunlap apparently
doubted he really intended to
take his life, officers said.
1t. Kinsey said police have
located a filling station in the
Glen Burnie area where Dun
lap purchased IS worth of gaso-
line on the night of July %.
Authorities also have traced
the hose attached to the ex-
haust pipe to a motor pool
supply room at Fort Meade,
where Dunlap was stationed at
the time of his death.
The Associated Press today
quoted Mrs. Childs, divorced
wife of Sergt. Dunlap's father,
as saying she saw her sons
body and that he had been
badly beaten about the torso
and legs. She said she is con-

mount to be counted, as the
Russians wanted, or stay in
their vehicles, as the Ameri-
cans insisted.
Both the President and Mr.
Rusk brought up the matter
in conversations with Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrea Gro
myko here on Thursday. Mr.
Gromyko and Ambassador
Dobrynin were reported as hav-
ing said they had no fore
knowledge of the matter.
After Progress
The dispute developed after
what officials regarded as some
progress in thawing the rela-
lions between Russia and the
Western allies, including the
limited nuclear test ban treaty
which went into effect Thurs
day, and the Presidents ap-
proval of the sale of surplus
wheat to Russia.
But the autobahn incident
gave Republican critics and
others more reason to question
efforts to reach an under
standing with Russia.
Senator Scott, Republican of
Pennsylvania, said the new
Berlin incident was proof of
Soviet duplicity in dealing with
the West. Pointing out that
the President had signed the
test ban treaty on Monday and
two days ago had approved the
sale of wheat to Russia, Sena-
tor Scott said:
Its the same old story. We
made a generous gesture and
they slap us in the face. If the
so-called relaxation of tensions
that followed the test ban
signing is to be meaningful. it
must be a two-way street. :"

even to appeals for party unity.
They are much too busy milling
about the corridors canvassing
and buttonhohng and trying TO
find out what in the world is
going on.
The real trouble, as the Lon
don Times points out, is that
there really is NO clear prec-
edent to determine what those
customary processes are" when
it comes to choosing a prime
minister.
3 Groups Involved
Theoretically. it is a process
involving three distinct groups:
the constituent workers, the
parliamentary party and the
cabinet.
OF these, the constituent
workers-the great bulk of the
delegates at the conference
are by far the least important.
They are on hand so that the
leaders may take "soundings
of the prevailing opinions. And,
perhaps more Importantly, so
that the rank and file may get
the word from on high.
At any rate the leaders do
not normally feel themselves
bound in any way by what~the
rank and file may think. Nor
mally the choice is made by the
Cabinet in consultation with
parliamentary leaders. And
once 1t is made the whole party
is supposed to rally instantly
around the new man.
| 1t has been a long time since
the rank and file have had any
real say. What sober-sided To.
rieS think Of Lord Hailsham,
appeal to the mass is summed
severely by the Times:
I However undemocratic Il
may be to say so, the less the
constituency associations havt
to do with the matter, the bet.
ter. They are politically naive
hopeleSsly inexperienced in thu
art of government and not t.
be trusted with anything so Sc.
rious."
Further Complicated
The choice this time 1.
further complicated by the fact
that Mr.. Butler and Lord Hail.
sham are not in the race BY
themselves. While the cabinet
rather lukewarmly favors Mr.
Butler, the parliamentary
group is strong for Reginald
Maulding, chancellor of the ex.
chequer, who at As represents
the coming younger generation
eager to grasp the torch from
the elders failing hands.
And so the horserace has de-
veloped. The bookies in Lon.
don are quoting odds on the
outcome. The firm of Joe Cora
Ltd. is offering 2 to l on Blu
tier, 9 to 4 on Hailsham, 5 to
on Maulding and 100 to 8 or

And since London kIe:

thing, it seems probable thai
British political life may soor
subside back into its smooth
and well-worn ways. The pas
sion and excitement of the mo-
ment is likely to evaporate as
quickly as it arose. But at least
the show at Blackpool has pro.
vided the British with a week

The loudest bursts of ap-
