Acheson Gives Praise To NATO Nations for Strides Toward Peace Washington Secretary of State Acheson said Friday night the North Atlantic Allies have taken "giant stries" toward be coming a bastion of world peace. He urged "utmost support" from the American people for a continued foreign aid program. "The days of danger are still with us," Acheson said. "The forces which will be available in Europe by the end of this year are not the total forces required to assure the maintenance of peace. This is true even when the productive power of the United States and our airpower is added." In a nationally broadcast and televised address, Acheson re ported to the nation on the ten tative decisions taken at the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion (NATO) meeting just con cluded at Lisbon. Playing Vital Part Appealing to the people to sup port President Truman's forth coming request to Congress for $7,900,000 in new foreign aid funds, he said U.S. assistance "is playing a vital part in the struc ture of strength which is being built in Europe. Although he praised the agree ments reached at Lisbon as con tributions to growing free power against the threat of Communist apprMion. Acheson cautioned that much work remains to be done. "But free men will accomplish by peaceful means what tyrants have never been able to do," he said, "and in so doing, they will ; demonstrate the creative energy and power of freedom which will continue to flourish long after tyrannies have been forgotten." Making Great Stride , Acheson described five major accomplishments of the Lisbon conference as making up "a great stride toward the goal of strong and united nations." Together, he said, they mean that European defense forces at the end of this year will be "a real fighting force composed of a specified number of ground combat divi sions, aircraft formations and naval forces." He used no figures, not men tioning reports that the plan is to provide Gen. Eisenhower's NATO forces with 50 divisions by the year's end. That figure has been criticized in many quar ters as unreal. He voiced confidence that the European nations will back the Lisbon agreements. These re quire ratification by the parlia ments of the 14 North Atlantic allies. - , Acheson listed as accomplish ments of the Lisbon NATO meet ing: . , Agreement Reached . "First, agreements was reach ed on the forces to be made available to Gen. Eisenhower's NATO command during this cal endar year. "Second, agreement was reach ed on the bases and facilities to be built and maintained for these forces. "Third, agreement was reached approving the creation of a Euro pean army by six nations, includ ing West Germany. "Fourth, agreement was reach ed by which the return of West Germany to a place of equality and responsibility in the Euro pean community can be achieved. . "And fifth, NATO itself was reorganized and. greatly strength ened. Speaking of the move to make Germany a western part ner, Acheson said peaceful unifi cation bI all Germany as a free country remains the wetsern aim "but the history of Soviet ob struction and Communist policy in postwar Europe does not en courage us to hope that this goal can be achieved in the immedi ate future." Although he said the job of overcoming ancient differences between France and Germany is not completed, two years of ef fort "have brought us to the dawn of a new day in Europe."

ELLIS United Press Science Editor New "- York (U.R) The tuber culosis bill in the United States is '$4 billion a year. The staggering figure points up emphatically the sometimes forgotten economic side of the disease that has plagued man since prehistoric times. Should the new anti-tuberculosis -drugs ; now undergoing clinical trials with dramatic re sultscontinue their beneficial Figured Yearly action, the $4 billion might well be cut in half within the next 10 -years. Based on Estimates The cost of T. B. in the Unit ed States is based on- estimates of the National Tuberculosis as sociation, the agency which is fighting to knock the disease Increased Demand for Northwest Power Seen . Seattle U.R) A greatly in creased demand particularly by the aluminum industry for electric power in the Pacific Northwest has been predicted by the Chamber of Commerce. :.

It estimates that the disease cost 1 million working days each year. Using $3,600 as an average American's pay, the overall cost soars up to $3,600,000,000 a year in lost wages. The NTA esti mates a cost of $350 million a year for both public and private care of patients, case finding, public health nursing, educa tion, rehabilitation, treatment by private physicians, hospital maintenance, assistance of fam idies, medical research and pen sions to veterans. Hidden Costs The $350 million figure does not include hospital construc tion and numerous "hidden costs," all of which help send the total T. B. cost to the $4 bil lion mark. The T. B. rate in the U. S. is coming down, but spme Amer ican will have died of the dis ease by the time you have fin ished reading this dispatch. In foreign lands, the rate is in creasing rapidly. The NTA esti mates that there are some 5 mil lion persons with T. B., includ ing all countries. There have been estimates that it costs $3,600 to treat one T. B. patient. Actually, the figure is about $14,000, including loss of wages during hospitalization. Tuberculosis as of now is a chronic disease. While thousands can reach a "cure" or arrested status in a matter of two years, there are many more thousands who spend four, five and six or even more years under treatment. Thus, if medical science de velops a real weapon and a cheap one then in time millions of dollars may be saved or di verted to whipping other dis eases, such as cancer and heart ailments. The new anti-T. B. drugs, now being tested, can be made for a few cents. But just how much they will reduce the time of hospitalization for a pa tient remains to be determined. The drugs are marsilid and rimifon, the latter also being known as nydrazid. MILO' V. KUBALEK Doctor of.
