MONDAY. FEBRUARY 18. 1963 Floating Arsenals Being Readied for Asian Trouble Spots They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatio Washington - H'Hi - The who would be rushed by jet Experts, noting that quick Naval Base with everything Europe making it possible fori a crisis requires such an ad the Army to send two divi- i dition to the five divisions United States plans to station "floating armories" in the Philippines and keep them ready to steam on short no tice to potential Asian trou ble spots. Sources said today the U.S. Navy's hupe Subie Bay base had been chosen as anchorage for three specially modified victory ships, to be loaded with U S. Army combat equip ment and kept on the alert to move wherever Red threats develop. Equipment for several bat talions thus will be stored near the scenes of possible action, ready for use by troops airlift from America in a mat ler of hours. reaction is of the essence when the cold war starts to turn hot, estimated that 45 to 60 days loading and trans sit time could be saved in some situations by using the "floating armories." Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and Gen. Earle G. Wheeler, Army chief of staff, recently gave Congress details of the plan but did not show where the ships would be harbored or how many were involved. The first of the World War II victory ships, the U. S. Navy ship Phoenix, now is being loaded at iorfolk. Va., from tanks to battlefield ra tions. Two more of the ready-to-fo arsenals, USNS Provo and USNS Cheyenne, are to fol low. Kitted out by the Military Sea Transportation Service, the ships are to have civilian crews and Army caretakers to keep the weapons and equipment in ready condition. Seaborne "prc-positioning" of far material is similar to the administration tactic in the 1961 Berlin crisis of sending more than 150,000 tons of equipment to Europe. The equipment still is in sions quickly by air any time 'already on the continent.

The Medical Roundup Emeritus Consultant In Medlclnn Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Median Mayo clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 196J) Hormones for Menopause One of the curious features of medical practice is the un founded fear that many of us physicians have of giving female h o r mones to re ; lievcthesomc- H times very dis- I trcssing nusn cs of women conic through ffe the meno- There are many women, and especially women who have always had a strong con stitution, steady nerves and an excellent adjustment to life, who around the age of 50 stop menstruating, and that is about all there is to it. They do not get depressed; they have no flushes; they do not lose much of their sexual interest; they do not get fat and hairy. Other women, and usually those who all their days have tended to be nervous, poorly adjusted, abnormally sensi tive, worrisome, "on edge" or at times depressed, tend to suffer for years after the menopause from more or less distressing flushes. These may begin with a feeling of great warmth, and then there may be a little sweating here and there. Sometimes the flushes are so bad they wake the wo men up and even cause her to jump out of bed and go to a window in search of cool air. Sometimes the woman will get depressed so depressed that she loses interest in her husband, her children and her home. She won't even want to hear about her previously adored grandchildren. For tunately, many such women soon come out of their de pression, even without any treatment. Those few who have a very severe or lasting depression can usually be cured quickly with a few clectroshocks, or with the tak ing of one of the new anti depressant drugs. Drug Taken Away What is sad is- that some times, after a consulting phy sician gives the woman some female hormone which has given her great relief, the drug is taken away from her by her family physician who says. "Don't lake that stuff, it will give you cancer." Actually. I have been giv ing sex hormones to meno pausal women for perhaps 30 years, and 1 have never seen a case in which I thought the drug had produced a cancer. Leading professors of gynecol ogy feel as I do that there is no reason to fear the use of the hormone. The drug can be given once a day by mouth. I usually try first 0.5 milligrams of stil bestrol (a synthetic female hormone). Larger doses can cause sore breasts and nausea. Worst of all, a large dose can cause the woman to bleed from the womb. This is unfortunate because then a phsician. fearing can cer, is likely to perform a enrolment la scraping out of thr inner lining of the womb). The important point is to use only a small dose: 0.5 milligram, and not the 10 milligrams which many of us physicians used to give. Dr. Alvarez talks more about the use of drugs for the menopause and answers four commonly a?ked ques-1 tions about the "cnange oi life" in his booklet on "Meno pause and Hysterectomy."

I I recently read an interest ing article by three doctors Richard B. Grcsham, Vernon P. Perry and Thomas E. Wheeler which tells how the U.S. Navy is storing more and more tissues from men who have died. This storage is done at a very low temper ature, and in a specially de signed fluid which protects the tissue from damage due to freezing and thawing. The doctors have been working on this problem now for 11 years. Tissue banks are particu larly useful in the Army and Navy, where so many men are injured in such a way that the can profit from the trans plantation of a bit of bone or skin. Today, experimental work is being done on keep ing bone marrow in a bank, and later transplanting it to help men with a severe anemia or men whose anemia is due to the fact that their bone marrow (which forms blood cells) was accidentally exposed to a destructive dose of radiation. Efforts are now being made to transplant "glands of internal secretion" such as the thyroid, the ad renals and the testicles. These tissues are called glands of in ternal secretion because they discharge the hormones that they make into the blood. Many of the tissues are stored at a temperature rang-. Bus Carrying 40 Girls Loses Brakes San Bernardino, Calif. -HIPP - A bus carrying 40 terrified Camp Fire Girls gained mo mentum when it lost its brakes while coming down a i mountain road. A curve which dropped 700 feet lay ahead. "We're going to crash," screamed William McDonald j Jones, 53, of Compton, Calif., the driver. j Jones jockeyed the bus lo i the soft gravel on the left side I of the road. The bus slowed j down and toppled over into a 10-foot ditch. i Twenty - two of the girls i were injured in the accident ; Sunday. "If Jones had tried to ride the next curve out he never would have made it," said a highway patrol officer. "They would have gone down 700 feet." ing from minus 80 to minus 112 degress Farcnheit. At the j time of a man's death, the I tissues that are to be banked j must be removed with such a j strict aseptic technic that no germs will get into the ma- tcrial. j The surgeons of the Armed Forces put into their "banks" cartilage (gristle) from the front of the chest wall. They preserve bits of skin and also bits of the tough lining of the brain the dura. They, keep pieces of the so-called fascia, which is a very strong mem brane to be found under the skin on the outer side of each thigh, and is helpful in repair ing big ruptures. Some of these tissues, which have been kept frozen for over 10 years, are still usable. Portland ...juT J $745 0ne U Return g - fc 'fl - 4 j Every Greyhound trip you take will save you money.
