TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Snuady. June 10. 1956 Parties Decline Comment on Political Impact of Ike's Illness Expected to Put New Muscle Into Campaign Issues Br LYLE C. WILSON Unitad Prct Correspondent Washington 'U.R; President Eisenhower's illness will put new muscle into campaign issues which Demo crats believe are basic in their effort to defeat him this year. No. 1 is the charge that the R e p u blicans are seeking to elect a part time president a man physically unequal to the demands of that office. - No. 2 is the fact that Vice President Richard M. Nixon sure will be Mr. Eisenhower's ninning mate and would succeed him if he failed to complete a second term. Whether those issues could be as effective as many Democrats hope and believe is debatable. There is not much doubt, how ever, that any physical difficul ties, permanent 'or temporary, would serve during this presi dential campaign to remind voters that Mr. Eisenhower did suffer last September a serious heart seizure. Depends On Recovery The stumbling fall of stock quotations and the wild rumors such as swept Washington Fri day do not mean much. The basic political importance of Mr. Eisenhower's illness depends now on how soon and success fully he recovers. . It depends, also, on the manner in which he stands up to the pressure of the campaign and the presidential office between now and next November. the controlling decisions of his varied career last winter when he appeared before the nation by television on Feb. 29 to an nounce that he was fit and ready to run again. . A halting recovery from his present illness or a series of such attacks could pose to him again a decision of the utmost personal and political significance. Said As Much Persons who know the Presi dent best believe he would stand aside if he felt unequal to his responsibilities. He has firmly said as much. Such talk is enough to make Republican par ty strategists arise screaming In their beds at night. It could happen, although the nature of Mr. Eisenhower's illness as so far disclosed falls far short of any threat of serious disability or protracted convalescence. There is, however, the vital statistic of the President's age. He will be 66 by election day. The President himself has re marked that no man elected at that age has completed a second term. The thought that Mr. Eisen hower might step aside, however remote that possibility may be. naturally chills Republican par ty leaders. They almost never have had it so good as since last Feb. 29 when the President said he could run again. All of that could-change in the wink of an eye, and they know it. Hitchcock Named as Smith's Alternate Salem U.B Gov. Elmo Smith has named Phil Hitchcock of Portland to be his alternate as delegate to the Republican Na tional convention in San Fran cisco in August. Hitchcock tried unsuccessfully to gain the Republican nomina tion for the U. S. Senate over former Interior Secretary Doug las McKay in the May primaries.

By JAMES BARR United Press Staff Correspondent Washington (U.R) President suffered a series of digestive disorders dating back to his service in the Philippines in the 1930 s. He suffered a severe attack of dysentery at that time. Dur ing the next two decades he had several more gastrointestinal at tacks. One of the worst hit him in March, 1949. It was his only serious illness from the end of World War II until his heart attack last Sept. 24. Mr. Eisenhower suffered the 1949 attack while engaged in long consultations with top Pentagon officials in Washing ton. He was on leave as presi dent of Columbia University. Caused from Food Dr. Howard McC. Snyder, the Presidenfs physician, recalls Deadly Poison Helps Ike Through Surgery Washington (U.R) Curare, a deadly poison with which some South American savages tip their darts, helped President Eisen hower through his emergency operation early today. To put the President to sleep before the operation, his doctors gave him among other things a mixture of oxygen and ether, "induced by sodium pentatRol intravenously and augmented by Curare." It was explained that curare, though lethal in sizeable amounts, acts in small quan tities as a "muscle relaxant."' It has been used in medicine for several years.

RIVERSIDE EISENHOWER that the President suffered the attack, medically called gastro enteritis, after eating highly spiced Mexican food at a friend's house. , Mr. Eisenhower spent three weeks convalescing at Key West, Fla., and Augusta, Ga. Dr. Snyder recommended aft er the 1949 attack that Mr. Eisenhower give up smoking. Mr. Eisenhower, who had been smoking two packs of cigarets a day, agreed. He made two public appear ances April 16, 1953, while suf fering from a digestige upset. He addressed an American So ciety of Newspaper Editors lunch in Washington. Then he flew to Salisbury. N. C. to at tend the 200th anniversary of Rowan County. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty disclosed afterwards: "The President has been suffering from a slight attack of food poisoning all day." The President recovered quickly. He played golf three days later. Intestinal Flu The President went to bed with a case of intestinal flu in October that year. It kept him there most of a weekend. That was the" last time he suf fered a digestive disorder until Friday's attack of ileitis. How ever, his heart attack., was first called a digestive upset by the White House. Other than Mr. Eisenhower's heart attack and the series of digestive disorders, his medical history is relatively clear. His tonsils and appendix were removed years ago. He had his quota of child's diseases: mea sles, mumps, whooping cough. He injured his knee while playing football at West Point. That left him with a so-called "trick knee" that rarely both ers him. He has had a few recurring bouts with bursitis in his left shoulder. And as Dr. Snyder puts it several "cases of sniffles." Bandon Girl Killed When Hit by Car Bandon vU.R) Three-year-old Peggy Lee Lamb of Bandon was fatally injured Friday after noon when she was struck by an automobile as she was crossing Highay 101 to join an older brother and sister. The child, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse V. Lamb, was taken to Mast hospital at Myrtle Point where she died. Driver of the car, Brooks Wag goner, 19, of Port Orford, was not cited. JMf ' L Q S President Has Said He Would Withdraw If Health Not Good By RAYMOND LAHR United Press Correspondent Washington U.R Presi dent Eisenhower has said, re- peotedly and forcefully, that he will withdraw as a candidate for reelection if he ever decides that his health is not up to an other four years in the White House. Complying with the dictates of propriety, leaders of both par ties declined public comment on the probable political impact of Mr. Eisenhower's new illness. Privately, Republicans and Dem ocrats agreed that it has at least revived doubts about whether Mr. Eisenhower will head the GOP ticket again this fall. These doubts, which were widespread before Mr. Eisen hower's Feb. 29 announcement that he was willing to run for reelection, had previously been almost completely dispelled by the President s vigorous activity and apparent strong recovery from his heart attack last Sept. 24. Inescapable Issue Democrats saw Mr. Eisenhow er's illness as underscoring what many of them have been say ing since his second term an nouncement. These Democrats have contended that any presi dential illness, however trivial. or serious, would serve to make his health an inescapable cam paign issue and provide a re minder that he was a heart at tack victim last fall. While most congressional comments were limited to ex pressions of regret and hope for a speedy recovery. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.), added: "The main consideration ought to be the President's health and longevity and not politics. I don't think the Presi dent should run again if he is jeopardizing his health." If Mr. Eisenhower should re consider his second term decis ion and decide against running, Vice-President Richard Nixon would become a heaw favorite to win the presidential nomin ation. But heavy resistance to his nomination could be expect ed, and the Republicans would First Lady Keeps iqil at Ike's Side Washington U.R) Mamie Ei senhower kept an anxious virgil Saturday at her husbands bed side. Friends said she was "calm but concerned." The First Lady spent the long summer night in a plain hospital room only a few feet from the President's three-room suite on the. top floor of Walter Reed Hospital. Mr. Eisenhower's only son, maj. John Eisenhower, ac companied Mrs. Eisenhower to the hospital and spent the eve ning. Dr. Milton Eisenhower, the President's brother, also hurried to his side.

News Conference Remarks Mr. Eisenhower has been most emphatic in his statements that he will withdraw from the pres idential race if his health falt ers. At a news conference on Mar. 7, a week after his second term announcement, he was asked to comment on Democratic charg es that he planned to be a "part time" president. He replied vigorously that "there is going to be no neglect of the duties of the presidency . . . when I feel I can't carry them on, I won't be there." Later in the same news con ference he reiterated that "un less I felt absolutely up to the performance of the duties of the president, the second that I did not, I would no longer be . . . available for the job." He added, however, that he dUln't mean he would bow out "if I get a week's case of the flu or something else." Ileitis Described As Seldom Fatal by Medical Specialist By JOHN M. COURIC United Press Correspondent Washington U.R) Ileitis, the ailment which sent Presi dent Eisenhower to the operat ing table, is a "relatively uncom mon" intestinal disorder, an em inent medical specialist said Saturday. He said it "is rarely, if ever, fatal in itself. Its treatment sometimes requires surgery, as in Mr. Eisenhower's case. The specialist, who asked that he remain anonymous, asked that surgery becomes necessary in conditions when Ileitis, in flammation of the lower small intestine, causes constriction or blocking of the intestinal tract. This is what happened in the President s case. The ailment can be treated in three ways, according to its sev erity: Three Treatments 1. Let the body repair itself by giving the small intestine a rest. This can be done by feed ing the patient through the veins. At the same time the phys ician tries to soothe the affect ed area with medicines. 2. Insert a rubber" tube down through the nose or mouth into the intestinal tract to remove stomach gases and liquids which can cause pain. This also helps the body repair itself. 3. Use major surgery to re move the blocked section of the small intestine and then sew the healthy parts back together. It is not known early today whether this was the nature of the operation performed on the President. "Man can spare several feet of his intestine without being disabled permanently," the spec ialist said. Millworker Fatally Injured Near Detroit Salem lU.R) A 56-year-old Sweet Home millworker died here Friday from injuries suf fered in an automobile accident near Detroit May 10. The victim, Frank H. Scott, had rolled his car over on High way 22 while driving alone. He was taken to Santiam Memorial hospital with head and internal injuries and later transferred to a Salem hospital. Before the war Australia had the greatest per capita food sup ply in the world. LEARN TO SWIM AT ENROLL NOW Disposal Plan for Waste Submitted To Sanitary Group Portland (U.R) A plan to dispose of waste that would be given off by a proposed $17 mil lion Kraft paper and paper board mill at Toledo was pre sented to the State Sanitary Au thority here Friday by Georgia-' Pacific Corp. The firm, one of the world's largest lumber operators, said it planned to spend $360,000 on a waste disposal system at the Lincoln county installation and $750,000 on a water system to Yaquina river at Toledo. The authority said the plans must be first submitted to "all interested parties," in the Toledo-Newport area, including the oyster industry at Yaquina bay and the State Fish and Game Commissions. W. J. Sheldon, resident man ager of Georgia Pacific, said the company proposed to carry the strong wastes from the mill by pipeline to McLean's Point near Newport at the mouth of Yaq uina bay. Diluted wastes would be dumped into the river at To ledo. The Sanitary Authority, in other action, ordered the resi dents of Broadmoor and Brent wood parks in southwest Port land to end a health hazard there within 90 days. Members halted arguments over who was responsible for sewage disposal in the residen tial area and said the hazard of overflowing sewers would have to be corrected, regardless of ownership of the system.
