T Candidate Lauds U. S. determination to draw a hard line in Cuba is paying dividends, but "we must now prepare ourselves for pres sures as great or even greater from sources such as Berlin," State Representative Carl Fisher (R-Eugene), said today in Medford. The Republican candidate for Congress in the fourth district said "we know the Communists well enough to understand that for them, this is only a minor loss in what they consider a never ending battle for supremacy." Addressing the Medford FINANCIAL IMPACT OF CUBAN CRISIS New York Another crash and then wild rebound in the stock market, soaring prices of commodities in the leading markets of the world, a sharp increase in the demand for gold in the London bullion market, scare rumors of renewed shortages, panicky hoarding of goods by consumers and step ped up buying of basic materials by businessmen all these have come in the wake of the Cuban quarantine. What do these movements last week mean to us? What might be the economic-financial impact in the U. S. of the Cuban crisis? Imperative to any intelligent appraisal is a full under standing of the background against which the Cuban situa tion broke into a showdown between the U.S. and Soviet Union Monday. Our economy has been advancing at a sluggish, highly disappointing pace for months. Our unemployment rate has remained stickily high at close to 6' per cent throughout this entire expansion. In thousands of plants in industries from coast to coast, there is idle capacity to produce. There are no shortages of anything. The stock market cracked wide open last spring, and since then a disenchanted public has moved to the sidelines in massive numbers. Prices of basic raw materials and prices of goods at the factory level have stuck in a remarkably narrow range for years, and recently these prices have been weakening. The low profit margins of an increasing total of U. S. corporations are now of deep concern lo the government as well as to businessmen. About the only force pushing up the cost of living has been the continued rise in the cost of services. The pace of wage hikes has slowed marked ly too. Consumers have been buying, but not avidly; busi flation in the U.S. economy-nor is there the oomph that gives equipment, but not enough more to give economy a for ward push. There has not' been for months and there is not now in flation in the U.S. economy notis there the oomph that gives a country a "feeling" of prosperity, of well-being. It is against this background that President Kennedy has taken our calculated risks in Cuba. There is simply no parallel between this economic pattern and the background which existed when the Korean conflict broke out. Now our aim is to strengthen the price picture, to improve cor poration profits, to encourage more spending and borrowing. In the early 1950s, the aim was to control our pent-up de mands for goods, to keep the lid on prices, to curb wartime profits. The sort of buying expansion that would have been economically catastrophic when Korea occurred would be welcome as economically stimulating today. Also imperative lo any intelligent appraisal of what might happen are some assumptions on where this show down might lead. Specifically: Assumption No. 1: The showdown stops at the qaurantinc, and while we go through an indefinite period of a war of nerves nothing worse than this occurs. Under these circumstances, the Cuban crisis could be a modest "plus." It has united the nation. In has perked up world commodity prices and this is all to the good. Any additional spending on mobilization and defense that a quarantine would involve would be mildly helpful to the economy and certainly not inflationary. As for the stock market, despite its excellent performance during most of Wednesday and its sensational comeback at the close, it is in for some rough weeks and would have been, no matter what the Cuban situation. This is the period when selling to take losses for tax purposes always is a depressing influence, and with millions of investors sitting with big losses after this year's slumps, tax selling before 1962 ends will be particularly heavy. The break in the market this spring and adverse publicity about the mutual funds' records have slashed into public buying of mutual fund shares and not only have the giant funds cut their buying of stocks but many also are becoming net sellers. The lower prices fall under liquidation by frightened amateurs, the better will be the bargains available in the stock market. But the bargains will be bought by the cold blooded professionals. The public won't return until after prices have gone way back up again. If the outcome is assumption No. 1, we still will need large-scale, across-the-board tax reductions - and as soon as Congress can possibly vote them - to get our economy off this plateau and back into a major, strong expansion to full prosperity. Assumption No. 2: The U.S. invades Cuba. Under these circumstances, there surely would be a sig nificant increase in spending for mobilization and defense and a resulting spur to our economy. But with goods in ample supply, production well below capacity, unemployment far too high, the hike in spending would not send us into another inflation phase. As for the stct'k market, it still would be subject to the Influences outlined above for the time being anyway - and right now these influences are more powerful than the good earnings reports being issued by many leading corporations, the fact that hundreds of blue-chip stocks have been battered down to attractive prices and that earnings-price relation ships are more "normal" than in years. If the outcome is assumption No. 2. then across-the-board top-to-bottom tax reduction will continue essential to give our economy new incentives and thereby to accelerate our growth. ' Assumption No. 3: A series of conflicts, dangerous and on the-brink. in the trouble spots of the world Under these circumstances, the increase in spending for mobilization and defense would be a distinct stimulant to our entire economy. The speculative fever which has done such damage in previous periods might re-emerge. It would damage us in the short-run and delay the tax reductions which we must have if we are to achieve a greater rate of growth and cut our unemployment rale over the long-term. As for the slock market, regardless of its day to day actioni. it must overcome the obstacles facing it now be fore it can establish the base from which it can move into a sustained rebound. Wednesday's stock market was exceedinaly encouraging, considering the near-panic among scared little investors the nation over. From the start of trading, it was obvious that the pros were coming in to take stock dumped on the market by amateurs. Many highly respected brokers were, in fact, talking even as the market churned around at its lows early in the dav about "a long-term buying range, moderately below or above these levels" - tnd the upsurge in the final hour of trading was nothing short of spectacular. The Dow Jones average of industrial storks closed up more than 18 points with the tape running late, an extraordinary day by any I'.andards Assumption No. 4: All-out war between the U S. and the Soviet Union. If this is it. I have nothing to say on policy, prediction, profits, prices, anything. What "business outlook'' could there be in a nuclear war1 What "investment policy" would be appropriate in a nation devastated bv World War IIP Hard Line in Cuba Chamber of Commerce round table. Fisher complained that until President Kennedy took a firm stand in Cuba "the American people had little about which to be proud in our conduct of foreign af fairs." "We have not acted firmly and decisively in such areas as the Congo, Laos, Berlin and in our relations with Red China. Now we can again hold our heads high," he said, ad ding, "However, we may have very little time in which to feel the satisfaction which is ours today."

STONE MOUNTAIN. tJ The Medical P. ( . Diverticulosis I gel hundreds of letters from people who say that they uinnl In a Hnetm rniyiplainillg 'Sr of all sorts of 5,Vr nervous d i s- comforls, such as headaches, back aches, and perhaps a pain in the chest. The doctor put the patient into a hospital and gave him Alvarrz a thorough examination, and all that the X-ray man could come up with was that the man had a few tiny pouches as big as beans, on the sides of his large bowel. The doctor then said. "There's your trou ble; you have chronic diver ticulitis." Actually, in all my 35 years working around universities- going to see several autopsies a week, 1 never saw a case of what 1 would call chronic diverticulitis, and 1 rarely saw a case of acute diverticulitis. The ending "His" means in flammation. Actually, what perhaps 40 per cent of people past 50 have is diverticulosis, a condition in which there are many of the little pouches which usually constitute a harmless accompaniment of aging about as harmless as gray hair. For 50 years the medical profession very properly ig nored it, but recently it has be come the fashionable disease; it lakes the place ot "chronic appendicitis" which used lo be so fashionable. I myself have some diverticula which do not produce any symptoms. It would never occur to me to go on a diet or to have an operation, just because of them. It is a remarkable fact that only rarely does one of the little pouches get inflamed or so inflamed that it punches through (perforates) and caus es the patient to get a local ized peritonitis. Next Diagnosis Awaited I am happy lo say that of late there have been signs that doctors are getting tired of this fashionable diagnosis of diverticulitis. Now I am interested to see what the next fancy diagnosis will be. There always must be one such "disease" with which very busy doctors can quickly satisfy and please, and get out of their office those millions of nervous women who only get angry if told that all they have is "nerves." Men patients sometimes must also be pleased with this sort of fashionable diagnosis. I recently saw a man whose liver is beginning to growl because he drinks a fifth of whiskey every evening. He is delighted with his new doctor who has been tactful enough I MAKE SURE That 1 M :r-i ELECT FOR STATE SENATOR, JACKSON COUNTY, ill X HENRY f.

As the man says, this new doctor is a real scientist. "The other darn fools" all said his troubles were due lo chronic alcoholism. Another fashionable diagno sis which finally appears now to be losing its great popular ity is hiatus hernia. During my "25 years at the Mayo Clin ic, I never saw a single case of hiatus hernia in which 1 recommended an operation. Usually, 1 thought cither thai the symptoms of the patienl were not those of a hiatus hernia, or the symptoms were so mild thai no sensible per son would want In undergo a large and risky operation lo get rid of them. In some cases in which the patient had a lot of fat in his abdomen, when I got him to reduce weight, the symptoms disappeared. Diarrhea In Tourists As 1 said in a recent col umn, hundreds of thousands of tourists on arriving in strange land, promptly come down with a violent diarrhea Most of them soon gel over it only a few have an uncom fortable bowel for sonic lime afterward. For years the cause was thought to be a liny single-celled parasite called an amcba, but recent studies have shown that only rarely is the traveler's acute diarrhea due to amebiasis. Also, the drug usually taken by tourists to avoid or cure amebiasis does not seem to have any effect on the diarrheas. Some studies which showed that the giving to travelers of an antibiotic would cut down on the inci dence of the trouble indicated that the cause is a germ, but the briefness of many a spell, with the lack of any fever or abdominal pain or subse quent soreness suggests that the cause is a virus that acts on the nervous system of the bowel. Recent careful studies made partly at the University of Mexico, showed that among North American students who went to Mexico, diarrhea oc curred in from 25 to 35 per cent, and almost always with in 10 days after arrival. II usually lasted from one lo three days and failed to leave any signs of injury to the bowel.
