Students of psychosomatic medi

Eisenhower on his current 1 trip,

week he snt in India. i ,
liy all odds and his previous
medical record, the hardships to
which Kiseihower exposed him
self sluuld have put him in bed
with a batl cold or at least a
sevcie cough, yet the adulation
of hundreds of thousands cheer
ing him in the streets seemed to
act as a miraculous preventative.
Eisenhower's entourage has
been sulfering from all sorts 'of
tiavel ailments colds, dysentery,
even a mild heart attack suffered
by one of the young communica
tions experts in the Eisenhower
party.
Suly nine year- old Eisenhower.

blowing his nose occasionally aft
er a dusty ride bur otherwise
showing few ill effects.
He shows his fatigue principally
in the mornings, but this is rather
typical ol him. ,

By midday he brightens con

His speech delivery in India
was (airly vigorous, except for
the pddress to PaMiament. where
he was occasionally faltering be
cause he was forced to speak
without his usual leclern and ha J
to stand in front of an audience
shuttling sheets of his text.
Most of the people traveling
with the President feel that it
was a shame that stories of his
visit to Kabul, Afghanistan were
blanketed on the same day by
accounts of his tumultuous ar
rival in India. -
Even in the (ace of the huge
Indian reception, the way Eisen
hower was welcomed by the peo
ple o! Kabul still stands out in
minds of bis staff as the darndest
thing they ever saw.
After Eisenhower had con
ferred with King Mohammed Za
hir in his castle at Kabul, the
two leaders drove to a nearby
athletic field for a public greeting
an route to the landing pad for
a helicopter to bear Ike back to
his plane some 40 miles away.
At this athletic field, the crowd
went simply mad with people lit
erally trying to hurl themselves
gleefully into the rear of Ike's
open tourii.tf car.
Secret Service agents were ex
hausted after baiting down the
human tennis balls that came
hurtling at them from stone walls
and other projections beside the

This might nut have attracted
too much attention, had it not
been for the (act that people
rushed across the stream at
places where the water was two
and three feet deep, wearing their
Sunday best clothes.
This afternoon the President
leaves foreign soil for the present

WASHINGTON l'PH Mai
Gen. Donald N. Yates has lilted
a ban he imposed on press cover
age of military misrilc firings at
the Cape Canaveral, Fla , Test
Center. He said the ban resulted
Irom a misunderstanding, t
Yates, commander of the test
center, said Tuesday in a tele
gram to Lyle C. Wilson, vice pres
ident of United Press Internation
al, that he would "continue to co
operate with the press to insure
the most objective reporting" of
missile activities.
Wilson, L'Pl Washington bureau
chief, had telegraphed Yates ask
ing him to lift the ban, imposed
Monday. Wilson said the order
barring newsmen from the test
center during military rocket shots
amounted to an attempt to censor
news originating in Washington.
In issuing his ban. Yates said
a LI'l story from Washington last
Saturday violated an agreement
with the press concerning advance
publication of the date (or launch

years.

tional Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration planned to launch a
payload toward an orbit around
the sun this week. Yales said he
had given the date to repo'ters
at Cape Canaveral on a confiden
tial basis.
Wilson, in his telegram, advised
Yales that the UPI story "was
obtained in Washington (rom in
dependent sources in part but
largely from our library in which
we accumulate information some
times bit by bit for future devel
opment into major news stories."
Yates sent the following tele
gram to Wilson in reply:
"Thank you for your telegram.
1 am happy to receive your as
surance that in consideration of
the source of UPI 'a information,
UPI did net violate the existing
agreement. May. 1 assure you my
intentions are to continue to co
operate with the press to insure
the most objective reporting to
ihe public of our missile activities.
I sincerely appreciate the coopera
tion I have received in the past
from all the news media in this
respect. I regret the current mis
understanding and plan to immed
iately reinitiate press coverage of

the procedures we have followed
in the past will continue to prove
satisfactory."

Washingston's
Ghost In
Deep Freeze
NEW YORK i UPI i - The city
of New York is putting the freeze
on George Washington's ghost.
The furnace in historic Jumel
Mansion, Washington's headquar-ters-in-retreat
in 1776 aid now a
city museum, broke down a
month ago and the temperature
in its 20 antique-filled rooms has
dropped to below freezing on sev
era occasions.
Washington's trouble spirit,
which is said to pace there on
wintry nights with' a spyglass in
its pale hands, had better bundle
up in an cytoplasmic greatcoat.
It's going to bs cold inside for
at least another week until heat
is restored.
The city spends $00,000 a year
to maintain the upper Manhat
tan tourist attraction, and City
fathers have made all haste to
replace the 195-year-old mansion's
corroded furnace boiler. But offi
cial haste can sometimes be a
snail's pace because of the neces
sity of advertising for bids, let
ting contracts and other red tape.
In the meantime, Henry Harri
son de Frise. the curator, and a
staff of five are carrying on
playing host to an average of
nearly 200 visitors a day. The
city has provided no temporary
heating arrangements, and the
score of fireplaces used in Wash
ington's day can't be utilized for
fear of burning down one of the
nation's most admired histo'ical
shrines.
