Once described by President Eisenhower as "af fable, friendly, exceedingly shrewd," Robert D. Mur phy is a "five-star" diplomat; he was one of four State Department officials sworn in, April 9, 1956, as the . nation's first Career Ambassadors, the highest rank in the Foreign Service. Yet Murphy is a shirt-sleeves rather than a striped pants operator. He is described by Gen. Eisenhower's World War II naval aide, Capt. Harry C. Butcher, as a "tall, slightly-stooped-shouldered" individual who "talked more like an American businessman canvass ing the ins and outs of a prospective merger than either a diplomat or a soldier." The picture is perhaps deceptive. A graduate of Mar quette University of the Society of Jesus, Murphy has a Jesuit's respect for an adversary and a scholarly ap proach that is evidenced in his speeches, many of which are made to Roman Catholic groups. , "I am always an optimist," Bob Murphy said recent ly in Amman, Jordan, in the midst of a Middle East "area assignment" as President Eisenhower's person al representative that took him into Lebanon, Israel, Iraq, and Egypt. His job, he said, was to confer wvth authorities in these countries about' "everything." !lt is nomere play on words to say that Murphy's' dip lomatic interests are catholic. He has been Ambassador to Belgium and Japan and political adviser to the United Nations Command' in the Korean armistice talks. His negotiations with President Tito patched up a tiff with Yugoslavia in 1955, and he had played a major role in solving the Yugoslav-Italian dispute over Trieste a year earlier. He represented the United States in Suez Canal talks in 1956; more recently he aided in settling differ ences between France and Tunisia. Murphy in World War II was President Roosevelt's personal representative in North Africa. He was the central U.S. diplomat in negotiations with Admiral Jean Francois Darlan that cleared the way for the entry of U.S. troops into the areai , ' Murphy received the Distinguished Service Medal and a boost in rank for his services in North Africa, biit his alleged pro-Vichy sympathies brought him con siderable criticism. The New Republic angrily demand ed, "Recall Robert Murphy" in a cover headline. , ; . Both Eisenhower and Butcher absolve Mui-phy of any blame in the negotiations with Darlan. "While we were reaching a final decision he stepped entirely aside ex cept to act upon occasion as interpreter," Eisenhower has recounted. "It was squarely up to me." In any event, the criticism did no permanent harm to Murphy's career. He was Gen. Eisenhower's politic al adviser in North Africa and Italy his opposite Bri tish number being Harold Mncmillan. He became U. S. adviser on German affairs, with rank of Ambassador, in 1914, and ever siiice he's handled a host of complicat ed diplomatic puzzlers as the State Department's No. 1 career officer.

President Eisenhower has ap; iroved the purchase of three' of the high-flying jet transports. vhich are to make their appear ance on the airlines next year, for the use of himself and other high government officials. Dr. Philip Lisan, when asked if he thought persons without symp- oms of heart disease, can fly at the high jet plane alitudes wjth nit- worrying about attacks, re plied: "Yes, I believe so on the basis of what we know at present Of course, one must consider pre disposing factors. ' He turned to the results of an anatomical study made in 1053 of 300 young mericans killed in ac tion in Korea. All had been ap parently healthy, yet 05 per cent showed a "significant" amount of narrowing of one of the major heart arteries. "Now thtis is a disturbing thing," he continued. Any individ ual may have a significant nar rowing of heart arteries, as the study showed. "Does that make us good risks at high altitudes? asked Dr. Lisan. 'I don't know and I don't know anybody who does. The whole subject needs a great deal more study. The Air Force is interested and medical schools are interested. The Army is in terested because of its concern with shock. What they lack is money, and it's very important to all of us that this lack be over come. , Lisan is former chief of medi cine and cardiology at the Stra tegic Air Command at Fort Worth, Tex., and now is a mem ber of the faculty at Hahnemann Hospital Medical School, Philadel phia. He is an accepted authority on aviation physiology. He was giving his opinions in an inter view with the technical publica tion, "Pulse and Pressure." He was positive in his opinion that flying does not cause any '"wear and tear" on the heart and its arteries and veins. But there definitely is such a thing as an "altitude reaction." High flying airplanes have "pressurized"cab- ins, of course, but the air pres sure maintained in them is not the same as that of ground level but rather the lesser pressure of 4,000 to 5,000 feet of altitude, he said. The "altitude reaction" is not precisely definable but it "in volves some alteration in cardiac output," he said. Most people never have it, but some 'do. He approved of the special pre cautions that will be taken on high-flying jet liners in case of a sudden failure of air pressure- one member of the flying crew will wear an oxygen mask at all times and oxygen masks with the oxygen "running" will drop in front of all passengers automatic ally. Tins is important, you see, be cause at the altitude these jets fly, you can't live more than three minutes at the low pres sure, he said: n one man is conscious and able to act, how ever, there snouian i De any cm- ficulty because' the plane can be brought down to a tolerable ati- tude in a matter of seconds. I should say, though that these precautions aren't going to be much help for the patient with coronary artery disease, because he can't tolerate even a few sec onds of decompression." De Gaulle Promises Vote For Freedom To Colonies cnlTOP'S NOTE; Kinasturv Cmiik uirA president and asso ciate general manager of United Press International, is on a fact finding ,tour of Europe. By KINGSBURY SMITH United Press International PARIS (UPD French Premier Charles de Gaulle has .promised that France's overseas territories, excluding Algeria, will have the right . to vote for "total inde pendence" in the forthcoming ref erendum on a new constitution. Paul Reynaud, chairman of the Constitutional Consulative Com mittee, told United Press Inter national in an exclusive interview today that De Gaulle has made this promise to him personally. It was my idea, Heynaua said. "I felt it was of capital im portance to France's international Dosition that the people of the overseas territories should be al lowed to ask for total independ ence when they vote on the new constitution. I urged Gen. De Gaulle to agree. He will do so. He told me so." If the inhabitants of French overseas territories are given the opportunity to vote in a national eferendum on whether they wain complte independence, it will mark an historical milestone in France's relations with her former colonies. Should they vote affirmatively, it iq ppnprallv nerped in Paris that De Gaulle is the only French po litical leader who could get away with granting them independence. If De Gaulle carries out his promise to Reynaud and the peo ple of the overseas territories should vote for complete inde pendence, those who know the general are convinced ne wouia grant it. There is no doubt, how ever, he would do so with bitter disappointment. .. iia tniri tlip rnnsi ill at i vp commit tee last week he conceived of no other solution for France and what is still left of its empire than "a form of association in tegration or federation." He said anything else would mean "se cession, with all the consequences that it would bring and with the risks and perils for those who would choose it." ' Hi? promise to Reynaud would indicate, he is prepared to allow the natives to risk those perils if they wish. Reynaud also told this corre spondent he is confident the mod ifications which De Gaulle is ac ppntine in the proposed constitu tion will safeguard democracy in France.

Committee Warns Of Radioactive Fallout By JOHN McNUTT llnial Pmcc IntertiAtianat UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPl A 15-nation U. N. committee has agreed unanimously that man kind faces "new and largely un- tnnwn hn7nrHs" as II . result Of radioactive fallout from nuclear eapons tests. Tin- committee, which has been studying the problem for more than two and one halt years, found that "even the smallest nniminlc nf rnHintinn ilro liable to cause deleterious genetic and per haps also somatic cuecis. U.S. Timber Sales To Draw Protest From Industry pnnTl.AND (UPD Members and friends of the Western For ester Industries Association re cently joined by representatives of the Independent Plywood Man ufacturers Association and other groups left today for Washington to protest the management of tim ber sales by the u. s. iorest .-.erv-ice. The main complaint to be pre sented by the group is that the forest service, despite professions of heavy timber sales, is not liv ing up' to its own timber sale pro gram and that the regional econ omy, largely dependent on timber for raw material, continues to suffer. BING'S SON "FINE" HOLLYWOOD (UPD Crooner Bing Crosby's 23-year-old wife. Knthy, and their son, Harry Lillis (Tex) Crosby III, were reported "doing fine" today at Queen of Angels Hospital. The baby. Bing's fifth son, was born Friday.' . . Somatic effects include cancer and leukemia. The report added, "The irradiation of any groups of people, before and during the reproductive age, will contribute genetic effects to whole popu lations in so far as the gonads (reproduction glands' are ex posed." In Washington, the Atomic F.n ergy Commission 1 a-u d c d the "thorough - going study" made by the U. N. Scientific Commit- lee Oil 111-- Cliuv-ia tn fiiuiun; j Radiation but said "man must learn to live" with radiation. ,i The A EC added, "It is im portant to note that in so far as leukemia and bone cancer arc concerned, the committee has pointed out there is no certainty that fallout will produce' any ad ditional cases of cither disease." Moreover, said the AEC, the com mittee "has taken pains to esti mate the greatest number of cases which might result from fallout under the most pessimistic conditions." The committee's report, which will be submitted to the next regular session of the U. N. General Assembly, stopped short of calling for cessation of nu clear tests. It said that problem was one for tlie political men, not the scientists, to solve, and called merely for "cessation of con tamination" caused by nuclear testing. The 15 - nation group said, "Radioactive contamination of the environment resulting from ex plosions of nuclear weapons con stitutes a growing increment to world-wide radiation levels. "This involves new and largely unknown hazards to present and future populations: these hazards, by their very nature, are beyond the control of the exposed per- muz k lip (ffl o o ff 'JR$m ESTABLISHED 1896 CREEN .STAMPS.
