TOUR MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. October 31. 1938 Clinic Refers 1 Jl To Physicians A total o 171 people have been referred to doctors by the chest x-ray clinic because of suspicion of tuberculosis or tu mors, according to the Jackson County Public Health association which operates the clinic. The majority of the cases were found to have latent or inactive tuberculosis. This figure repre sents 2.4 per cent of the 7,026 people who have had x-ray at the clinics, the association stated. Some 400 people, 6.9 per cent of the total, have been referred to doctors for heart conditions, the majority of which are en larged hearts. A total of 186 have been referred for other miscellaneous chest condition?. "The fact that these figurei show that 12 per cent of the people having x-rays have a chest or lung condition has proven the value of an out-patient chest x-ray clinic to the people of this county," Mrs. Chester Guches, case- finding chairman for the Jackson Coun ty Public Health association, said. The, clinic at Sacred Heart hospital is open every Thursday from 2 to 5 p.m. and the first Wednesday of each month from 7 to 9 p.m. Eisenhower 21st President To Seek Second Term in White House Editor'! note: This Is the first In a tprtt of four mrtlrlM on the prett datlal and vie. presidential candi dates In the Nov. C general election. Citizenship was extended to all of the Indians in the United States by an act of congress in 1924. By UNITED PRESS Dwight David Eisenhower was the 21st president to run for a second term and the first Repub lican to get that chance in 24 years. , He decided to seek relection despite a heart attack he suf fered on Sept. 2i, 1955, and a I major abdominal operation last June 9. He did so when told by his i doctors that he had fully recov ered and had been assured by his leading supporters that the country still wanted him in the White House. Republican leaders wanted Mr. Eisenhower to run again be cause in his 1952 landslide vic tory, he had shown himself to be stronger than the GOP in vole-pulling power. These Republicans dis..yed unrestrained joy when the pji dent made his long-awaited, second-term announcement Feb. 29, 1955. He said he made the deci sion after "the most careful and devoutly prayerful considera tion" of the issues involved. Republicans still were jubilant at their prospects for November when, on June 9, the president underwent an emergency opera tion for ileitis, and intestinal block. He come through this ' if. fx : lift 1 ' I PRESIDENT EISENHOWER Stronger Than GOP well, with no damage to his heart, and expressed some sur prise afterwards that anyone had wondered whether his second term decision still held. In October he campaigned more and more actively, al though he had ruled out "barn storming," as not befitting the office of president. Mr. Eisen hower relied heavily on tele- Jackson County Medical Society Endorses . . . FLUORIDAT Read This Resolution... "Whereas the adjustment of the fluorine content in municipal wafer supplies to the amounts and by the meth ods recommended by the American Dental Association and United States Public Health Service has been shown to be non-toxic and to materially reduce the rate of dental caries (cavities and decay) in children and in adults reared with the optimal intake; "And whereas the American Medical Association, the American Dental Association, the National Research Council, the Association for the Advancement of Science and many other conservative and responsible scientific groups urge this method of improving dental health as safe and effective; "And whereas the principal cities in this county have only trace amounts of fluorine; "We, the members of the Jackson County Medical So ciety, do urge the governing bodies of the cities of the county to promptly take those steps necessary to opti mally fluoridate our municipal water supplies." This resolution was passed by a majority vote of the Jackson County Medical Society on February 8, 1956. (Signed) Alvin Roberts, M.D. President Earl Lawson,.

SicUls; Chairman; Dewey Wilson, Vice-Chairman vision, reserving his personal ap pearances for crucial states. Refused in 1948 He is a career soldier who made his name and made it known over the world as su preme commander of the Allied forces that conquered Hitler's Fortress Europe. As a hero after the war, he resisted suggestions that he get into politics. But the pressure continued and even increased in intensity after the general retired from the Army and, in June, 1948, be came president of Columbia uni versity. Nobody knew then whether he was Democrat or Re publican and both parties were eyeing him that year as a pos sible standard-bearer. Gen. Eisenhower finally took himself firmly out of that cam paign by declaring that he did not think a military man should run for president unless there were exceptional circumstances that made this necessary. As the 19o2 campaign ap proached Gen. Eisenhower was back in uniform as supreme com mander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Paris. A new "Ike for president" boom got underway, and this time the general was under even heavier pressure. After a procession of Republi can House and Senate members called at his headquarters, urg ing him to seek the presidency, he finally proclaimed himself, on Jan. 7, 1952, to be a Republi can. And he said he would run for president if he got a "clear cut call to political duty." The call came loud and clear. Gen. Eisenhower came home to a hot, steamy fight at the GOP national convention in Chicago in July. There he wrested the nomination from the late Sen. Robert A. Taft. He labeled r s campaign a "crusade" for hc;;esty, efficiency and a clean sweep in govern ment. He promised to rid the capital of Communists. He said he would cut taxes and balance the budget. On election day of 1952 he piled up the biggest vote in his tory, smothering Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson. He got 33,936,252 popular and 442 electoral votes. to Stevenson's 27,314;992 and 89. On Foreign Policy Mr. Eisenhower's administra tion has been marked by a mid dle-of-the-road approach, with the emphasis on conciliation rather than adamant insistence on getting just what he wanted, His domestic policies frequently have been assailed at the same time as too far to the left or too far to the right. The government budget was cut; so were taxes. A balanced budget was attained in fiscal 19i)6. From the outset Mr. Eisen hower made foreign policy his major concern. As he had prom ised, he flew to Korea a few weeks after the 1952 election. The following July, a truce was reached in Korea. Mr. Eisen hower said he based his foreign policy on a simple principle: that in the atomic age "there is no longer any practical alternative to peace." Initially, Mr. Eisenhower felt that he should and would be a one-term president. He later be came convinced it would take a second term to implant firmly his theories of "progressive moderation." Mr. Eisenhower feels singular ly qualified to help the world reach a real peace. He concedes that the current state of peace is uneasy, and feels that a major shift in the U.S. administration at this time would have a bad effect. Domestically, he wants to improve his farm, school and highway programs. Two major illnesses in less than a year naturally produced some change in the physical ap pearance of the president, who is 66. His weight dropped from 178 to 157 pounds and was slow to come back. Mindszenfy Release Believed Pending Vienna (U.R) Hungarian Min ister of State Zoltan Tildy has in formed a workers delegation that Jozef Card .rial Mind szenty should be freed to resume his activities as Roman Catholic primate of Hungary, Radio Buda pest reported. The broadcast appeared to in dicate that Premier Imre Nagy's regime planned to end the Com munist imposed house arrest of Mindszenty. It coincided with a report from Milan, Italy, that the cardinal already was free. Budapest Radio gave the offi cial news in a carefully worded broadcast just two days after Poland had ended the detention of its primate, Stefan Cardinal Wyszynsky.
