close relationship between the

They've tried to destroy both of
them: NATO, the North Atlantic

the European Defense Community.
The two go together. NATO Is five
years old. EDO doesn t actually
exist.
EDC was Intended to be the
heart of NATO, a sheU without it.
Time drags on. EDC is still in the
future. Here is the story:
a military alliance between
14 nations which agreed to .help
one another In esse any one of
them is attacked. All 14 pool their
plans for defense of western and
southern Europe under, a joint
command and planning staff.
But each of the 14 has its own
separate armed forces, although
the Joint star' plans how to use
all of them if attack comes.
The 14 NATO members are the

THE DOCTOR SAYS
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
For some years April has been
designated cancer control month
by Presidential proclamation and
by act of Congress. This is the
time when the American Cancer
Society raises funds for Its activi
ties in the field ot research, edu
cation and service. It is a worth
while endeavor.
I do not subscribe to the belief
that people need to be scared to
death about cancer to do some
thing about It. In fact, too much
fear is to be avoided almost as
much as carelessness in heeding
warning signs.
The person who is terribly
frightened ot cancer at all times
should refrain from reading about
the disease. ,
He or she should merely be
come Informed once and lor all
about what signs to watch tor
and pay attention to, and should
make a real effort to forget all
about it at other times.
There are important things
about cancer, however, which
everyone should know. Surely it
should be obvious that no cancer

the division level. Men from each
country would be in separate dt
visions. All the divisions would be
under a single, unified command.
This would be EDO's value: it
would be part of NATO but this
single army, If Russia attacked,
could swing Into action Immedi
ately, giving the other NATO mem
bers time to bring up their forces.
The French first suggested EDO.
They looked into the future, fear
ing the day when a revitalized
West Germany might rearm and
start on a rampage again. They
looked on the EDC idea as pro
tection against that.
The reasoning was that if re
armed Germany had its troops
merged in a single EDO army, it
couldn't plan war on Its own. As
time passed, many French began
to dread the thought of West Ger
many's rearming at all.
So ' the French Parliament has
stalled on approving EDC. So- has
the Italian Parliament. Approval
has been given by the parliaments
of West Germany, Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg. A
French showdown Is expected in
June. i - .
Russia, knowing NATO will be a
cripple unless EDC is created, has
tried to wreck both by persuasion
and propaganda. They've played
on French fears by emphasizing
the danger of letting West Ger
many rearm at all.
At the same time the Russians
have tried to wreck NATO by
maneuvers that ranged from de
mands It be abolished to the sug
gestion that maybe Russia would
be willing to join it, although
NATO is an alliance against Rus
sia.
The French have talked of want
ing assurances the United States
will not withdraw Its troops from
Europe it has the equivalent of
six divisions in Europe and that
Britain will join EDO.
This week Britain offered to put
some of its forces in EDC, prom
ising to keep troops in Europe so
long as there is danger there.
can be treated until the patient
has consulted a physician and
the physician has made the diag
nosis. Early diagnosis is the most im
portant factor. . The person who
stays away from the doctor In the
presence ot warning symptoms
because he is afraid he will be
told that cancer is present is tak
ing a grave risk.
Lumps which appear on the
body should always be suspect.
Abnormal bleeding from any of
the openings of the body Is also
always a cause for immediate
examination. Loss ot weight,
which cannot be explained by diet
ing or other obvious cause, is an
other thing which should be taken
as a reason for consulting a
physician.
Of- course, cancer in some lo
cations is much easier to diagnose
than in others. By modern
methods of diagnosis, including
X-ray, many cases, even those
Involving the internal organs,
can be discovered early enough so
that treatment is satisfactory.
Examination must be complete
and careful. Today the facilities
for diagnosis and treatment are
so much better than in the past
that great strides have been made
in the conquest of cancer. More
progress lies in the future.
