i HERALD AVD NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS' OREGON tAGE 2 A Sl'NDAY. OCTOBER 5. 19SS o a A Small-Town Physician Favors 'Nature's Wisdom' By DELOS SMITH VPI Science Editor NEW YORK (LP!)- Should a physician prolong the hie of a hopelessly ill and dying patient? A small-town doctor has given an emphatic "no" to this delicate and profound question of medical ethics. His arguments in favor of bowing to nature s wisdom are now being circulated throughout the medical profession. Physicians generally feci their 'obligation is to life, even if it's a mere thread of life that's frayed almost to the breaking point. To this concept, Dr. Martin Donelson Jr. of Danville, Va., replies that "life is indeed sacred but not sac rosanct to the point of inflicting costly and painful indignities on someone who has earned his re pose." He spoke only of dying persons whom physicians keep "in vegeta tive existence by artificial means." He had observed "com petent and conscientious physi cians preserve life for weeks and months in cases, with stupor and even coma, in patients who would have quietly expired in a day or so if left mercifully alone." Donelson based himself morally Do youi windows sweat? STORM WINDOWS Made to Measure FREE ESTIMATES George Clark upon the Golden Rule and upon a portion of the Hippocralic Oath which all physicians take and which is the keystone of medical ethics. He quoted this portion: "I will follow that method of treat ment which, according to my abil ity and judgment. 1 consider for the benefit of my patients and ab stain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous." In these hopeless and dying cases the physician should not prescribe blood nor "undue" arti ficial feedings. Donelson said, "and at the end should have the cour age to discontinue antibiotics if these are an unduly prolonging factor. the physician should be in con scientious attendance and control over the case," and he should be "sure his patient is free of pain and thirst and has good nursing care. Laymen should not confuse Don- elson's views with the idea of "mercy death." There the physi cian helps death to take over, Donelson's view is that when death is present and life, though exist ing, has no chance, the physician should "embrace watchful waiting."

In the following article. he describes the association's ac complishments in improving the standard of news coverage around the world since its organization a quarter of a century ago. By COLEMAN A. HARWELL Ono of the big news stories of the past 25 years is what has hap pened to news itself. Kor instance, take science, with H-bombs, nuclear submarines, space missiles and shots at the moon. Or medicine, with Salk vac- I c ine, mechanical hearts and geri atrics. Even normal events seem out of proportion. Revolutions alfeel whole peoples, not just isolated dictatorships. School matters are not merely local district argu ments anymore, (hey are nation al and even world issues. In order to cover news today. knowledge and skills have had to be enlarged and extended, ine Wast of a missile into space must he reported as clearly and fully in human and scientific terms as was the flight of a single motored plane across the Allant- With this in mind. The Asso ciated Press Managing Editors Assn. was organized by a group meeting at French Lick, Indiana, in 1033. Thus, the convention this November, to be held again in French Lick, will mark the 25th year of APME service. Eligible to membership are top news executives of l.ioO Assoct- aled Press newspapers. APME's year-round program is based upon a continuing study of news cover' age and techniques. Its purpose is to provide guidance and counsel to The Associated Press and to all its member newspapers. The result of its efforts has been vast improvement for both. Each year, committees made up of more than 100 editors have car ried on a day-to-day study of every aspect of news. Included this year are committees on domestic news, foreign, business, news photos, color photography. Wash ington news, sports, newsfeatures and technical progress. One group concentrates on writing and has achieved remarkable improve ment in clarity and completeness through the years. An energetic committee on freedom of infor mation is dedicated to the people's right to know about public affairs.

The interview was obtained in a simply fur nished house overlooking the har bor of Kaohsiung in southern For mosa. By SPENCER MOOSA KAOHSIUNG. Formosa (AP -President Chiang Kai-shek said to day in effect that he is opposed to a reduction of his armed forces on the offshore islands or any change in their status. The Nationalist Chinese leader expressed incredulity over the re ports from Washington that Sec retary of State Dulles had said it would not be "wise or prudent" to keep Chiang's large forces on the islands if a dependable cease fire could be arranged. "Mr. Dulles must know," Chi ang declared in an interview, "that it is only wishful thinking to ask the Chinese Communists for a cease-fire." Granted-that Mr. Dulles made the statement attributed to him." he added, "it would be only a un ilateral declaration and my gov ernment would be under no obli gation to keep it." "We have confidence that Mr. Dulles is sincere toward us and that he has faith in our cause," the President added. Asked what he thought about the future of the Chinese Communists, who today were celebrating the ninth anniversary of the inaugura tion of their Chinese People's Re public in Peiping, Chiang said: "My belief is that it will not be very long before the Chinese Com minist regime will come to tb nd of the road. How soon tha nil be only the future can tell ?ut it may come about soonei han expected." "I cannot tell right away," Ch: ing said, "whether Mr. Dulles ha: nade the remarks attributed to nim for diplomatic reasons or with 'jther purposes in mmd. "What he is quoted as havin: said seems completely incompati ile with our slant1 and does not sound like him. "There seems to be implication: at variance with his own earlier utterances on the subject. Mr. Dulles must know that wishes for a cease-fire will never materialize and he must have se rious misgivings in his own mind about the subject." Chiang added: "Mr. Dulles has always stood on the side of jus tice and righteousness and it is r "Tp -yLssi CONSOLETTE 'A ttyyiL M0DEL ru.-9 i ijppx, and I j jUj Portable pll7 too! fJt u As knowledge has increased, de mands have been made for more and more intormation. The read er now expects to be told not only what happened, but how and whv. Newspapers in a democracy are based upon the principle that a free nation depends upon an in formed public. However dilficult the task, newspapers must satisfy the desire of the people to know. They must obtain and publish a great variety of facts from their own communities and from every part of the world. They must do this accurately and completely. swiftly and clearly and with tech nical excellence. .Newspapers realized years ago that to meet the challenges of progress, they would require Whiskey Put In Time Box VIRGINIA CITY, Nev. (UPI) Author-publisher Lucius Beebe Saturday consented to inclusion of orthodox contents in a time capsule which will be placed in a monu ment commemorating the centen nial of discovery of silver on the fabulous Comstock Lode. But Beebe gave in only after it was agreed the time capsule should contain whisky, cards, dice, poker chips and a .38 caliber bullet. No artifacts could be more ap propriate as symbolic of the Corn stock's first beginning than hard liquor and gambling implements." he argued. Above all, Beebe in sisted, whisky should be placed in the box. There were no dissenters among fellow members of the Nevada Sil ver Centennial Committee. In fact. all stronslv sunonrted Reehe.

He added "in the 10O years of its existence, liquor and legal gam bling have been the principal in dustries of Virginia City, only ex cepting the mining of precious metals." p-n i i KTH I j l OPEN DAILY 6:00 P.M. rrNfi muiii fHpei WIL!
