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.

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

Press Officer Lincoln White,
who issued the bulletin at the

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,"

that annexation, where feasible,
is the bit ablution."

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.

About 60 Million Ts Vote
About 60 million Americans
will visit their neighborhood
polling places Tuesday, to vote
for president, members of Con

Lakes region and for an area ex
tending from the Dakotas to
Texas.
If pre-election polls and sur

Mr. Eisenhower will be reelect

his Republican party is still
rated the underdog in its battle

Hope for 'Another 1948'
The still-hopeful Democrats
are banking on "another 1948,"

President Truman's victory con

The campaign began with de

over the foreign policy of the
Eisenhower administration
against the backdrop of revolu

Moscow (U.R) Russia today

military and other aid to victims

ready to send air and naval
forces to Egypt.
Soviet Foreign Minister D. T.
Shepilov made the statement in
a message to the president of the.
U.N. Security Council. It was
broadcast by Moscow Radio.
At the same time, Soviet Pre

to President Elsenhower "imme

powers, to "stop aggression."
No Messages Received
Bulganin said the situation in
Egypt called for "resolute ac

House said the President has re

Bulganin on the Middle Eastern
crisis.)
Bulganin told Mr. Eisenhower
that the United Nations would
disintegrate if nothing, is done
about the "inhuman" Anglo-

Egypt.
He said the attacks were an.
"aggressive war against E-gypt"
and "without any reason."
Bears Responsibility
Bulganin told Mr. Eisenhower
"we bear responsibility for slop

peace and calm in the area of
the Near and Middle East."
He pointed out that the United
States and the U.S.S.R. were the
world's "two great powers" with
atomic and hydrogen weapons."

"a sure guarantee" to stop the
