Administration May Yield to
Pleas f or Handling Cold War
By JOHN L. STEELE and EDWARD V. ROBERTS
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Mar. 3 U.R) The government may yield to con
gressional demands for a bold, new program to assure the world
of the peaceful aims of the United States in world affairs.
It was learned that these two moves are detlmtely in the
wind: '
1. A Big Three foreign min
isters conference, at which the
proposal of Sen. Brien McMahon,
(D., Conn.,) for a new approach
on atomic controls may be dis
cussed. It was believed likely
the conference would coincide
with a spring meeting of the
council of the Atlantic pact.
2. A personal appeal to Pres
ident Truman from his congres
sional lieutenants for a nation
wide radio address that the Unit
ed States as always is ready
to explore in the United Nations
any sound proposal for ending
cold war differences with Russia.
Thus far, the President has
rejected any spectacular move
for easing East-West tension. He
has felt that some of the sug
gestions of his congressional
leaders do not jibe with the
realistic facts of the nation's im
passe with Soviet Russia.
Despite the administration's
attitude, many congressional
leaders persisted in their belief
that the United States must take
Saturdays, March 4 and 11, as
well as on other week-days.
Open until 9 p.m. Tuesday,
March 14, and until midnight
March 15. Open at the noon
hour every day.
Lynch requests taxpayers to
come in as early as possible.
Hopelessly III Can Be Relieved
By Mercy Operation; Not Killing
Topeka, Kans., Mar. 3 UP) A noted psychiatrist said today
medical science has a means of relieving hopelessly ill patients
of unbearable pain without resorting to so-called mercy killings.
The method, said Dr. Karl Menninger, is a delicate brain op
eration known as the pre-frontal lobotomy.
(This type of operation has?
been in use at the Oregon state
hospital for more than a year
with what the officials of the
hospital describe as "remarkable
success")
"Just now the public is inter
ested in so-called mercy kill
ings," he said in an interview.
"This is a mercy operation
not a killing."
He added that the operation
could be considered only as a
last resort and should be used
only when all other means of
treatment fail.
Dr. Menninger said that in the
lobotomy, the doctor takes a
small portion of the front lobe
of the brain which is a sensativ
ity point a relay out of the
head.
"Pain of any organic disease
can be relieved by the lobotomy
operation," he said. "But the
patient's outlook on life must
not be more than six months,
although we have many who are
living several years after such
an operation has been performed."
. The psychiatrist pointed out
that the operation is not new. He
said it had been used at the Win
ter General veterans hospital
here for the last five years. Dr,
Menninger is a consulting psy
chiatrist at the hospital.
The operation was pioneered
by Prof. Antonio Egas Moniz of

Portugal in 1935 and was first
used strictly for mental patients,
he said. About four years ago it
was discovered it could be used
to relieve physical pain.
Dr. Menninger recommended
the lobotomy in preference to
morphine and other drugs as
pain killers.
Drugs used extensively as pain
killers wear themselves out as
relievers of pain, he said. He
added that in many cases they
have a counter effect and make
the patient ill.
Dr. Menninger's comment was
prompted by the widespread
interest in the Dr. Hermann N.

positive steps toward assuring
the American people and the
world that Russia is the chief
stumbling block on the road to
peace.
McMahon, chairman of the
joint congressional atomic ener
gy committee, proposed yester
day that the 12-nation pact coun
cil draw up a "grand strategy1
plan for ending the cold war.
He said pact powers should
consider immediately some new
approach toward international
atomic controls. If they agree
on a plan, he said, they should
try to arrange a UN General
Assembly meeting in Moscow to
present it to the world.
Initial state department reac
tion to McMahon's speech was
partially favorable but cautious
Department officials said his
proposal seemed "sounder" than
his earlier suggestion for a $50,
000,000,000 global Marshall plan
in which Russia would be in
eluded if she agreed to fool
proof atom bomb controls. But
they doubted if Russia would
agree to a UN meeting in Mos
cow, noting that It has turned
down similar bids in the past
on grounds there are no facilities
for such a meeting in the Soviet
capital.
Secretary of State Dean Ache
son conceded yesterday that
there might be a meeting this
spring between the foreign min
isters of the United States, Brit
Ian and France. It was believed
likely that the meeting would
be held in London or Paris.

talk in the foreign press of
rising German nationalism'
which is sometimes pictured as
revival of the old militaristic,
agressive spirit," Heuss writes
in a signed article:
'I cannot be too strong in
emphasizing to you that this is
a complete misreading of the
signs. Nothing could be farther
from the truth."
"Our fever is past," he states.
'Two bloodly wars, two dis
astrous defeats, have written a
lesson that is dreadfully plain
in every German home.
"I sincerely feel that If
some fanatic tried today to
preach Nazism and world con
quest, Tie would be stoned to
death in German streets.
"And I am quite positive that
if a strong Western European
federation is ever formed, on
the model of the United States of
America, Germans will vote
gladly, in overwhelming num
bers, to surrender their sover
eignty and to join it."
While Germany hasn't achiev
ed complete democracy, in the
American and British sense,
President Heuss reports rapid
strides toward self-government
under the supervision of the
Allied High Commission. He is
loud in his praise of Gen. Lucius
Clay and his successor as mill
tary commander in Germany,
John J. McCloy, and the eco
nomic contributions of the Mar
shall Plan.
"It was the initiative and vi
sion of General Clay which set
our feet once again on the road
to real self-government," he as
serts. "It was 'General Clay's
confidence in us which gave us
confidence in ourselves. With
Clay's help Germany began to
win back her dignity and self-
respect. With the Marshall
Plan's help, she began to live
again economically.
'We need this support, both
moral and financial. No people
can spring overnight from ty
ranny and chaos to the status
of a solid, prosperous democ
racy.
"Given time and opportunity,
am confident wo shall learn
how to govern ourselves in the
great liberal traditions of the
West. But always our democracy
will be a bit unlike any other;
is will never quite lose its Ger
man accent."
