Floating Arsenals Being Readied for Asian Trouble Spots
They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatio

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.

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 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

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.
