Mansfield Asks
Political Debates
On 'Real Issues7
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) wants
both Republicans and Democrats
to stop talking about President
Eisenhower's health and turn to
the "real issues" of the election
campaign.
Mansfield is an assistant chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee. He suggested Sun
day night that both parties call
"a moratorium from the daily
diagnoses,, the too -candid' com
mentaries and the degrading
spectacle of our chief executive
being shown in the light of a
guinea pig."
Health Not Issua
"The President's health is not
the issue in this campaign,"
Mansfield said in a statement.
'The issues affecting the wel
. fare and the security of the
United States are Let us get
down to the real business of our
country."
Mansfield said there has been
too much talk about Mr. Eisen
hower's health "by some Demo
crats but by more Republicans."
"No man has been more diag
nosed, medically commented on,
or treated bv so manv doctors,
literally and figuratively, than
Mr. Eisenhower, Be saia. ne
is not a medical guinea pig."
Smacks of Curious
"While he of course holds the
highest office in our country
and nerharM the most imnortant
position in the entire world, he
is at the same time a human
being with the weaknesses and
strengths all of us in some de
gree possess.
"The unnatural attitude of
manv mwnlp reeardinff the
President's health is not only
in many instances morbid, but
it smacks more of the curious
than it does of real concern,"
Mansfield said.
