an energetic 30-hour visit in Salem
to a dinner engagement with
actor-producer Kirk Douglas this
evening in Hollywood, Calif.
Shepard ta Jola Misslaa
Here, he visited Salem'i Denr
nis Shepard. who will be a mem
ber of the four-man mission to the
mountains between Communist
China and coveted Thailand. .
His dale with Douglas' will de
cide whether the actor and the
doctor can come to terms on film-,
ing of Dooley's best-selling book
"Deliver Us From Evil", of hit
experiences as a Navy medical
officer in Viet Nam in 1954-55.
The isue.i not money, although
a good price would be accepted
gratefully to aid financing of the
expedition. The actor wants to
jfii up the story a little with
soma fictitious excitement and an
important role for an interesting
female figure.
"He probably thinks it would
add interest for the public,? vol
unteered Shepard.
"Well, It would." laughed
Dooley. "There's no doubt about
it. But 1 am not going to give
an inch.
Other QaestWas
If the actor and the doctor can
agree on the story, there are
other questions to be decided
Douglas wants the tall, handsome
doctor with a slight St. Louis
drawl in his soft voice to portrsy
himself in the movie. That is out,
Dooley said firmly, because Uk
ing the role or even staying with
the company to advise during the
entire filming would mean that
ha could not spend the full mon-
aoon-free season, September to
April, in the villages. Tho moun
tain roads are impassable about
six months during the summer, he
explained.
Dooley's "Operation Laos" was
conceived while he was tho only
doctor at Haiphong Evacuation
Center while 600,000 North Viet
namese fled Communist aggres
sion. Its purpose Is to counteract
Communist inroads in Laos by
giving the native tribes the medi
cine and treatment, along with
American friendliness, which
made the corpsmen almost legend
in, North Viet Nam. Many of the
natives they will deal with have
never seen a white man and none
of them have ever seen a doctor,
Dooley said.
Dooley received the U.S. Navy
Legion of Merit and South Viet
Nam's highest award for hia work
at Haiphong.
Trae lasaressiao
His assistants, Shepard. Nor
man Baker ef New Hampshire
and Peter Kessey of Texas, were
selected from among "hundreds'
of corpsmen he knew in the Navy
aa best suited to make friends
with tho -natives . while , giving
there a true impression of Ameri
cana, Dooley said. .
He pointed to Sheeard's embroi
dered vest and the "hot rod" at
the curb aa examples of posses
sions of an "ordinary, energetic
young American." The men are
all mentioned In the book which
recently was condensed in Read
ers Digest magaiine and read
Into the Congressional Record.
Shepard is 24 and the other two
are younger. All were with Dooley
at Haiphong.
Shepard may be an "ordinary
American." but his aim is high.
A premedical student at Oregon
State College, and technician at
Salem General Hospital, he plans
to enter University of Oregon
Medical School on his return from
Laos. His wife, the former Msu
ryne (Chirk) Nichols, plans to re
main in Salem while he Is gone.
The "corpsmen" are to meet
Dooley, who will go on ahead, in
Saigon about Sept. 1. They will
return in about a year, Dooley
said.
The mission is under the aus
pices of International Rescue
Committee to avoid taxes, al
though it receives no funds from
the group, Dooley said.
Medietas Daaated
Several large manufacturers
have donated medicine and equip
tent, and food has been given
by the U.S. Navy and Meals for
Millions Foundation, he ssid.
Money comes from sale of "De
liver Us From Evil," a Research
Corporation of New York City
grant, lectures by Dooley, and in
dividual contributions.
The group will spend about
three weeks, with each tribe, pitch'
ing their tents in the village or
as nesr as possible, and return
to the capital, Vientiane, for new
supplies after each visit.
They will work closely with the
friendly Laos officials, seeking to
strengthen allegiance to the gov
ernmeht and to promote the popu
larity of the Laotian Public Health
Department among the tribes,
Dooley said.
Dooley, 29 and unmarried, plsm
to continue writing as well as en
tering private practice on his re
turn from Laos, but he hopes hi
"mission" will be the forerunner
of many similar private expcdi
tions to the arrs.
