' z HPe,uls Restin9 Dulles Said Excellent After Operation for Intestinal Cancer Washington (U.R' The Slate Department said today that Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' "general condition is ex cellent" and he may be able to return to his desk sooner than previously estimated. Immediately after his emer gency operation Saturday for removal of an intestinal cancer, doctors estimated he could re turn to his desk in about six weeks. Tim Estimate UnayilabU , A medical bulletin today said "if favorable recovery continues and barring unforeseen compli cations the secretary may be able to leave the hospital and with a normal period of convalesc ence return to his desk prior to previous estimates." Press Officer Lincoln White, who issued the bulletin at the State Department., was unable to estimate how much ahead of the original six weeks period" Nunley-Reeder Debate Challenge Whether or not '.he two candi dates for district attorney will hold a last-mist ute pre-election television debate tonight was still unsettled early this after noon. Walter Nunley. Republican candidate for reelection, wrote his Democratic opponent this morning, offering him time on Nunley s 10:30 p.m. TV shJw to present issues, which Nunley then would answer. But Reeder said he would not Dr. Merkel Tells Concern Regarding Sewage Disposal - Dr. A. Erin Merkel, Jackson county public health physician, expressed concern today regard ing the sewage disposal problem in the Berrydale district. The health department, he re ported, has been aware for some time that this area., due to lack of proper sewage- disposal, has bavn a potential area for epi demic diseases sucTi as hepatitis, typhoid nd other cn'.erit (intes tinal) diseases. Many Complaints Local sanitation officials said that mor& time has been spent in the fierrydale district than elsewhere in the county follow ing up sewage complafnts. The soil conditions in this area, they explained, are such that septic tanks do not function properly since the water table is near the surface. The only solution to this prob lem from he health standpoint would be to install a commun ity type of sewage disposal sys tem. he sdded. This could- be done by two methods. One for the area to provide its own dis posal piaat. which would be pro hibitive in cost, or to connect to U itin Medford' sawage dis posal facilities. Best Solution Having "studiM similar pro'b lesiis in other areas inthe state," e)r. MCrkcl explained, "we feel that annexation, where feasible, is the bit ablution." -an election nji annexation oi the district to Bedford is being heldotomorrow. ' G - t Dulles might be able to return. Dulles called acting secretary of state Herbert Hoover Jr. by telephone this morning and dis cussed State Department busin ess. White said Dulles schedul ed a meeting with Hoover at the hospital this afternoon. Also scheduled to see Dulles is his bro ther. Allen, head of the Central Intelligence Agency. Ik Pays Visit President Eisenhower paid a 15-minute call on Dulles Sunday 'afternoon and immediately made jit clear that he does not expect the operation to affect Dulles' place io the cabinet. Dulles is 68. The President issued a spec ial statement praising Dulles' conduct of foreign policy and announcing that Undersecretary of State Herbert Hoover Jr., would run the State Department until Dulles "can resume his full duties." Unsettled appear unless the "rules" of de bate are'ehanged. Nunley's letter offered the time-in "the best interests of the voters." and as an "approach to the presentation -of facts to the public" in the "American tradition' of the open forum." He suggested Reeder choose three issues, and that each would have two minutes to spend on each. Reeder, without accepting or rejecting the" offer, said, "It is interesting to note that he made this -'challenge' at the' very last hour. If he were in good faith with such offer. I am sure he would have notified me about this before noon today. Another indication of his lack of good faith is Jhe fact that the Mail Tribune received- a copy of the letter before I did." 5n as "Maneuver" "I am of the opinion that this letter is merely a last-minute campaign maneuver on his part. I would have welcomed an op portunity to debate the issues with him and regret that he has never cared to debate the same from a public platform except for this last-moment play for publicity. Unfortunately I have other campaign commitments and cannot at this last minute accommodate -him . . . He has made the rules himsefl to suit himself and has made no pro vision for rebuttal on my part." "If possible I or a supporter will appear to discuss the is sues. However, if this is done, we will expect that the rules be changed so that a fair discussion can be had for the benefi. of the voting public," Reeder said. VEHICLES COLLIDE A pick-up refrigerator truck, operated by Gerald Owen Brad ley. 55. of 720 Alder St., was knocked over on its side in a collision with a sedan driven by Fred. Hiram Stabler. 41. of 1011 Ross lane, at Third and Fir sts". about noon today. City police said that both drivers apparent ly escaped without, injury.

Both Parties Slate Television Programs Washington (U.R) Demo crats kept their troops in the field today in a last-minute drive for votes before Tuesday's presi dential election. The available evidence indicated that they need all th votes they can still get and probably more. President Eisenhower and his Democratic opponent. Adlai E. Stevenson, along with their re spective running mates, will make separate television appear ances tonight for the official fi nale of the 1956 campaign. Still on Stump But while Mr. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nix on were otherwise idle political ly. Stevenson and Sen.

About 60 Million Ts Vote About 60 million Americans will visit their neighborhood polling places Tuesday, to vote for president, members of Con gress and thousands of state and local officials. The weather bur eau forecast is generally fair weather except for the Great Lakes region and for an area ex tending from the Dakotas to Texas. If pre-election polls and sur veys are even close to the mark, Mr. Eisenhower will be reelect ed by a comfortable majority of popular and electoral votes. But his Republican party is still rated the underdog in its battle to regain control of Congress. Hope for 'Another 1948' The still-hopeful Democrats are banking on "another 1948," a repeat of the election when President Truman's victory con founded the poll-takers and most of the other political experts. The campaign began with de bate on pocketbook issues. It ended with a slugging match over the foreign policy of the Eisenhower administration against the backdrop of revolu tion and war in Soviet satellites and the Middle East.

"IX you do, your next decision is whether you will re turn to the Senate the most bit ter foe of the President's leader ship for peace, or will you give the President my dedication to the things for which he stands."
