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

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."

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

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

group concentrates on writing and

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

"What he is quoted as havin:

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

about the subject."
