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."

Corporal Too Busy;
Forgets Medal Award
. Seattle (U.R) Former Cor

many things on his mind Satur
day ne 'lust iorgox ne was sup
posed to be at nearby Fort Lewis
to receive a bronze star medal.

will live in after they are mar
ried. "I had been informed by let

Cost of Tu be rc ulosis
In America
$4 Billion
: By PAUL F. 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.
:. Figures in a report issued by
the "chamber showed Monday
that ' the aluminum industry,
which now uses one-fourth of all
power generated in the area, will
require about 14,000,000 kilowatt-hours
a . year double that
industry's present consumption.
The report also indicated that
power demands of established
industries and domestic and
farm consumers are increasing
at the rate of about eight per
cent a year.
Milk Used To Save
School From Fire
Chicago (U.R) A milkman
who poured his dairy products
onto a fire was credited Monday
with saving a schoolhouse from
destruction.
Eugene Anderson dumped the
contents of his milk cans onto
a fire which destroyed a church
in suburban lockport Sunday.
When the milk supply was ex
hausted Anderson was joined by
neighbors who filled the cans
with water which they poured
on the fire. Their efforts kept a
nearby schoolhouse from igniting.

out. 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.
