Government-as-Usual Test for
Administration Due at Conference
1H.
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Prtii Correspondent
Washington (U.PJ The first
rough test of government-as-usual
during President Eisen
hower s illness
is just around
the . corner.
It will come
with th'e Big
Four foreign
m i n i s t e r's
meeting in
Geneva, which
begins three
weeks from to
day. That will
- lyle C Wilson be a time for
executive decisions. The foreign
ministers meeting was set up last
July in the atmosphere of sweet
ness and light which prevailed
at the Summit Conference
among the chief executives of
the Big Four.
The chiefs agreed beforehand
that they would not seek to make
decisions at the Summit meeting.
They merely would establish
personal contacts, exchange
views, agree which were the
most dangerous threats to peace
in the West and send their for
eign ministers to Geneva In Oc
tober to negotiate better times
Shortly after Mr. Eisenhower
met with the British, Soviet and
Frexich chief executives the
United. States position on the
forthcoming foreign ministers'
conference reemed to be fixed
and definite It was that it
would be up to the Soviet Union
at this conference to make a
realistic contribution to world
peace.
Viewed As Test
That was and presumably still
is the position of. the United
States government. Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles made
it just about that this week when
he said the test of the Summit
Conference would be whether
the spirit generated there would
obtain solution of some of the
urgent problems of peace, such
as the existence ota divided Ger
many. "I believe,'" he said, "that we
will make positive progress to
ward the reunification of Ger
many." The West Germans do not
agree with Dulles. Their recent
mission to Moscow made no pro
gress on that difficult subject.
The Germans eel that they got
a better line on the Kremlin's
real intentions than Mr. Eisen
hower was able to get at the
Summit. They are convinced
the Russians will not budge
There are some indications that
some U.S. officials privately are
less hopeful than Dulles' recent
public statement would indicate,
Three Urgent Problems
' Three urgent problems were
assigned to the foreign minis
ters for solution. The problems
of German unification and Eu
ropean security were linked as
No. 1 on the slate of business for
the foreign ministers. Disarma
ment came next ' and improve-
ment of East-West relations was
No. 3 and last.
All of this adds up to the con
tinuing need for top level de
cisions by the President of the
United States during and perhaps
before the foreign ministers'
meeting.
Government-as-usual during
Mr. Eisenhower's illness and
with no such pressing matters
to be determined is one thing
But when the chips are down,
Mr. Eisenhower must act. The
burden could be very heavy on a
well man.

Honolulu (U.R) A new word)
has been added to the wonders
of the electronics world Loran.
This Lone Ranee Navigational
Aid has revolutionized overwater
travel, and has made travelling
men out of the United states
Coast Guard, sending them to
far away places with strange
sounding names to man the
Loran stations that dot the Pacific.
Spots like Catanduanes, An-
guar, O-shima, Ulithi, Ichi Ba-
nare and . Talampulan are as
familiar to the Coast Guard to
day as stations on the Long
Island Railway are to New York
commuters.
In the Pacific the Coast Guard
mans 25 Loran stations from
Hawaii west to Korea, most of
them -on locations previously
known only to the local inhabi
tants and the National Geo
graphic Society.
Radio signals transmitted from
the Loran stations web the track
less oceans, making it possible
for planes and ships to know
their exact position any hour of
the day or night, regardless of
weather conditions.
Snake Menace
It's the job of the Coast Guard
to build and operate the Loran
stations. And thai sometimes
takes a bit of doing. Gale, winds,
blizzards and ice hampered the
construction of the Aleutian
chain, while in the Pacific, heat,
typhoons, snakes and light-fin
gered natives have been added
to the normal operational prob
lems.
At Catanduanes in the eastern
Philippines petty theft by the
Filipinos became so bad that the
station commander, Lt. (jg) Jo
seph Stech, had to prohibit the
local tribesmen from visiting the
station on movie nights. They'
retaliated by cutting 60 feet out
of the six-inch fuel line that runs
from the bay to the station.
"We never did find out what
happened to that 60 feet of pipe
line," Stech said. "It was there
at dusk and gone at dawn."
On Ichi Banare in the Ryukus,
poisonous snakes have become
such a problem that the station
urgently asked Coast Guard
headquarters to ship them 18
mongooses along with collars and
leashes for them to protect the
men against the deadly habu
snakes that saturate the area. A
four-foot habu knocked . Ichi
Banare off the. air when it
crawled into a transmitter and
electrocuted itself.
Polynesian gods had to be ap
peased with a luau and special
prayers before the Kauai station
began functioning normally. It
took the feast and the prayers to
eliminate the mysterious me
chanical difficulties that had
plagued the unit from the time
it first went on the air.
Not Romantic
' The' Coastguardsmen on' the
island of Anguar, in the Western
Caroline Islands, found them
selves the elected custodians of
the natives after the Japanese
phosphate miners left. Lt. (jg)
Lewis Hayes has become the is
land's unofficial- chief, and is
making decisions on govern
ment economics, jurisprudence
and morals never expected of a
Coast Guard junior officer.
On the South Pacific atoll of
Uliti, recreational facilities ere
limited to fishing, coconut gath
ering and hobbies. The request
for cowhides mystified head
quarters until it was explained
that the leathercraft craze had
hit Ulithi, and all hands were
in mass production of wallets,
key cases and pocketbooks.
Typhoons have been the great
est menace to the Loran stations
in the Pacific. Wake, Cocos Is
land in the Marianas and Bataan
Island in the Philippines have
been hard hit by the big winds
which caused extensive damage
but no loss of life.
Each station is manned by one
officer and about 16 men who
serve one year, and then are ro
tated to the Untied States where
they are given their choice of
mainland duty. .
Everything possible is done to
maintain high morale at each of
the stations, and the consensus
amongst the officers and men is
that Loran duty is 'a good way
to save money. However, their
personal nominations . for the
winners of the Burlington, Wis.,
Liars' Club award any year are
the fellows who write the travel
ads,about the "romantic" South
Seas.

Florida Sunshine
Lets tjof el Man Down
Sarasota, Fla. ' (U.R) Hotel
owner C- V. Griffin repented his
folly in betting on nature to
day and hoped for sunny skies at
least through December.
Griffin last month Dacked up
Florida's "sunshine state" slo
gan by offering rooms free to
guests on any days the sun failed
to shine. The offer is good for
the rest of the year.
He had to give 236 guests from
17 states free accommodations
in September when the sun let
him down en three separate occasions.
Prompt Treatment
Said Fever Check
Urbana, 111. (U.R) Prompt
treatment of nose and throat in
fections can be an important fac
tor in preventing rheumatic fe
ver, a University of Illinois
health education specialist says.
Pauline Brimhall said most
medical authorities agree that
the first' and later attacks of
rheumatic fever are brought on
by "strep" infections, such as
tonsilitis and scarlet fever.
She cautioned mothers that
any sore throat that lasts for
more than a day or two is not
an ordinary sore throat and
should be treated promptly to
ward off the possibility of rheu
matic fever.
Men To Show More Leg
At Beaches Next Summer
Hollywood (U.R) A swimsuit
designer predicted today women
will see more of men's legs at
beaches next summer.
"The boxer short, popular for
the last few years, is definitely
yielding to new sleek-fitting
briefs," Maurice Levin, Jantzen
swimsuit designer, said. He said
men will be "hoisting their pant
lines . higher than ever" next
summer.
