NEW YORK Wt Those Ions
winter evening commercials on
television have revived the lost art
of reading.
There is no better time to pick
up a good book and seille back
lor a reunion with the punted word

your ItuiRs by drinking only fil
tered beer, packed in a king-size
reirigerator that can be thrown
away after using only once.
"During one long commercial 1
read my way through three feet
of Dr. 'Eliot's old five-foot book
Fhelf," a man bragged recently.
"My wife, w'ho has read all our
books, knitted a sweater during
another commercial."
So, if you want to do your friend
a real fnvor this Christmas, why
not refresh his ears by giving him
a heart-warming, old-fashioned pre
sent a book? If he has forgotten

THE DOCTOR SAYS
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
J Questions on hernia keep crop
ping up and several of these will
be discussed today.
The names "hernia" and "rup
ture" mean the same. Normally,
the skin, and particularly the
muscles, are responsible for keep
ing some of our anatomy where it
belongs. Inside the abdomen In
particular, however, there are a
number of organs and structures
JCS. Chief On
Pacific Tour
TOKYO Wl Adm. Arthur Rad
ford, chairman of the U.S. Joini
Chief3 of Staff and Walter S. Rob
ertson, U.S. assistant secretary of
state, arrived Monday on a tour
that will take them through Ja
pan, Korea, Formosa and the
Philippines.
Robertson, who last summer won
from. South Korean President Syng
man Rhee a promise to observe
an armistice, told newsmen he
expects Rhee "to cooperate with
His allies" in Korea.
Robertson made the statement
at Tokyo international airport :n
answer to questions about Rhee's
probable future moves.
Both Radiord and Robertson de
scribed, their trip as routine.
Radtord said he and Robertson
planned to attend the presidential
inauguration of Ramon Magsay
say in Manila Dec. 30 and decided
the occasion was a good chance to
gather knowledge in the Far East.
which keep pressing on these out
er covers.
The pressure Inside is increased
by muscular exertion such as
heavy lifting or coughing. Also
there are some spots around the
covering of the abdomen which are
weaker than others. This is espec
ially true of men. It is at these
spots that the walls are most likely
to give way somewhat and the
contents of the abdomen tend to
bulge through, forming a rupture.
That's really all a hernia is, a
bulging through the surrounding
wall of some of the structures
which lie within a cavity. For a
person not engaged in heavy man
ual laoor a rupture may not
cause any trouble though there is
always the risk mat it will some
day come out farther and get
strangled or develop some other
complication.
Nevertheless, treatment is usual
ly desirable and unless there are
good reasons to the contrary, sur
gery is best. A truss or support
does not cure. Most operations for
hernia can be done without special
risk at almost any age, but one
has to decide whether the occupa
tion and other considerations jus
tify the period of invalidism and
the expense.
When one speaks of double hern
ia, it means that the wall has giv
en way on both sides so thai
there is a rupture in two places.
Operation is the same, though it
takes twice as long, and surgeons
often repair both at the same time.
An operation is not always suc
cessful and occasionally a rupture
breaks through again. If it does,
which is uncommon today, it will
have to be operated on again in
I order to produce a firm wall.
Even though the Russians' orig
inal ouhmid rebutf of President Ei
senhower's atomic peace proposal
was later reversed, one finds it
;iard to digest the incredible stu
pidity of their first response.
As most of the world recognized
instantly, the President's plan was
iresh and different, at once prac
tical and idealistic. The Reds greet
ed it, however, with an assortment
of their weariest cliches. How they
imagined a standard serving of
Communist propaganda would be
adequate for this totally new occa
sion is a mystery. -
They even called the plan a varl
nt of the old Baruch plan for con
trol of atomic energy, which is just
exactly what it is not.
The Russians surely cannot ser
iously believe thpt these painfully
lamiliar- propaganda devices are
going to impress anyone at all. If
they do think so, then they have
lost all contact with reality.
Every word that has emanated
from official White House circles
about the President's proposal indi
cates it is a serious attemnt to
grapple with the deadliest element
in world tensions.
Such an effort demands a sober
answer. Even neutrals predisposed
to give Russia rather than the
United States the benefit of any
doubt want to hear something more
than routine guff from the Krenv
lin..
Unless the men in Moscow have
taken leave of their senses, they
will fulfill their later promise to
give the Eisenhower plan "ser
ious consideration." If they do,
and If they agree to discuss the
President's program in private
conversations with all interested
powers, the chances are stron1
hoewver, that the ultimate effect
will not prove much better than if
they should rest on the first foolish
utterances they made.
For the Russians have never yet
shown they are interested in the
substance of real peace and real
disarmament. They commit them
selves to the appearance only,
since genuine peace and advanc
ing prosperity would be enemies of
the cause they seek to spread
across the globe.
From the Kremlin's viewpoint
the most sensible move would be
to agree to atom peace talks and
then stall them or bog them down
in haggling along conventional
Communist lines. That would re
capture appearances, but yield
nothing of substance.
As for the United States and its
allies, their course is plain what
ever the Soviet Union does. Mr,
Eisenhower's proposal to build 0
world bank of atomic materials
and foster their application to meel
icine, agriculture, industrial power
ana otner peacetime use snoum go
lorward with or witnout tne Russians.
This plan has the grandeur of
outline for all its modest content
which marked the Marshall
Plan. It opens a new vista of world
development that beckons all men
of good will. That vista should be
explored with all those peoples who
are willing to make the journey.

This W( is' the last chance,
"only x apping aays 01 cnrist
mas." It gives procrastinators the
jitters but is sweet music to weary
salespeople. Yet, with all the blus
ter, the majesty of Christmas far
overshadows any man-made ad
junct of the holy day.
There is only one unfortunate
phrase of Christmas giving. It is
the heartaches that it brings to so
many; the glorification to size and
glamour that smothers the spirit of
a humble gift and makes its giver
miserable. Oh why must people
grieve that they can't "do more?"
I wish I could tear the price tag
off of Christmas. If you'll pardon
an intensely personal incident, I'll
try. It best emphasizes what I'm
trying to write.

simple comforts, yet by today's

Christmas came. On Hi $Atot
wall hung a tambourine, upon
which a friend had crudely painteu
a gaudy pastoral scene. I had al
ways teased to thump and jingle
it, but is was one of .mother's
prized possessions, her only "oil
painting," not a plaything, she ex
plained.
When I went downstairs tha
Christmas morning there was an
apple in rny stocking and a little
candy cane; on the floor a couple
of homemade toys that my father
had contrived.
There also was a strange aura in
the room that even a child could
detect; the pang that parents feel
when their child seems disappoint
ed. Mine were thinking of the
stacks of toys I'd soon encounter
in playmates' homes.
Then something happened that
was to influence my attitude to
ward Christmas all through life.
Pop pointed to the wall, mother
nodded; and a radiant smile came
upon her face. 1 jumped for Joy.
Mom gave me her cherished
tambourine.
I can't remember a happier
Christmas. It was years before I
understood what my parents passed
through. They, thought they let me,
down; instead they had given me
the one thing I wanted most in all
the world; a treasure that they
prized, a humble token from the
heart.
This is the true Christmas giving,
all men live to discover.
Have you ever marveled at the
choice of children? We have seen
ours desert expensive toys to play
with kitchen gadgets. Anna keeps
a bottom drawer full of castoff
cookie moulds, pie tins, measur
ing cups, spoons and mixers; an
array of playthings, battered and
bent; the best loved toys of any in
the house.
No, it is Isn't the children who
make Christmas a carnvial of ex
travagance, a vulgar show to beat
the Joneses. It is parents, who de
luge them with more than they can
use or comprehend and plant
tne seed or waste and overindul
gence in generations to come.
As truly as it is blessed to give,
so it is evil to overgive. How much
better to spread that stack that no
one child can enjoy, among the
less fortunate.
Many a toy that will land In your
attio or cellar by New Year's can
make some poor kid happy all
week long. :
And yours will' never miss it.

"WASHINGTON ( Never before
In the history ot the country have
the people hnd to depend so blindly
on the military wisdom ot Its
leaders.
The Russians have atom bombs,
they may have hydrogen bombs,
and the number ot their troops un
der arms is impressive.
Nevertheless, the Elsenhower
administration Is olannlnE to re-
duce the manpower o U.S. armed
forces with the exception of the
Air Force this year and still fur
ther next year.
The administration has two mo
tives:
1. A desire to keep campaign
promises by reducing expenses.
2. More reliance on new weap
ons and the special teams and
planes to deliver them. ,
Sbice the wisdom of these do-
cisions may not be known for
years. it has to be assumed mean
while that the military planners
know what they are doing.
We are told that scientific de
velopment of new weapons since
World War II has been astonish
ing, changing the old concepts of
fighting a war. What the new de
velopments arc. what can be ex
pected of them necessarily is
known only to the military people,
the President, his close advisers
and the atomic experts.
In the atomic field (he size nnd
power of the bombs are not known
by the public. They can't even be
imagined. Laymen know only that
they are many times more power
ful than those dropped on Japan.
Some idea of their power.
although still beyond the ability of
the lay mind to comprehend, was
given by President Eisenhower in
his Dec. 9 speech to the United
Nations.
He said the United states stock
pile of atomic weapons today "ex
ceeds by many times the explosive
total of all bombs and all shells
that came from every plane and
every gun in every theater of war
through all the years of World
War II."
And as a warning to the Rus
sians he said anyone who tried an
attack would be repaid quickly by
having his homeland laid waste.
This was an expression of con
fidence which the public, not know
ing the details, must take on faith.
Military power was something
which could be understood better
In World war II.
Then there were few mysteries.
It was generally understood that
if you hod enough troops, guns,
ships, planes and traditional bombs
your chances of winning were
pretty good.
Everyone had pretty much tne
same sort of thing, nore or less.
And there was no great mystery
about the bombs. The bigger they
were, the more powerful they were
and the more damage they could
do.
This country no doubt has a
greater supply of atomic weapons
than the Russians since tne united
States has been building them
longer. In time the Russians may
have enough for wartime needs, if
they don't now.
When that happens both sides.
havinjr sufficient bombs to blast
each other off the earth, may have
to revise all over again their ideas
about warmaking, looking for still
newer ways to do it, unless in the
meantime they can . agree to let
each other stay alive.

an F. Twining, Air Force chief of

than Russia's but he warned that
the Soviet Union is making "a tre
mendous effort to overcome that
lead."
The Air Force chief also said in
a copyrighted Interview in the mag

port" that the United States Is in
belter position to strike through the

fend herself against air assault.

sians have had practically no war
lime experience with strategic,

periority would cut down any ad

from big land armies.
He hinted that atomic bombs
would make strategic bombing
more effective than it was In World
War II, when only conventional
explosives were used except for the
two A-bombs dropped. on Japan.
During World War II, he sold,
American aircraft sometimes had
to strike at a target four or five
times "before we knocked it out."

back a second time to knock out
a target now," hp added.
