And he said further: "My role for the next two years is lo do exactly my very best to carry on the responsibilities and duties of the presidency." While agreeing Republicans should start fighting at once, he indicated he hopes to get along well with the Democrats running Congress. This is the opposite of the way former President Truman per formed: he played politics be tween elections by banging away at the Republicans and then look ing forward eagerly lo coast-to-coast campaigning before elec tions. He's still doing that. Eisenhower explained he will try to get along with the Democrats for the good of the country. He told the newsmen he doesn't see in the election returns any thing that indicates the people of the country want his administra tion to do anything differently.

Liquor ludiislry By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) America's changing drinking habits are giv ing the distillers some concern to- I'omiiH'iii.s lly lk ; By JAMES MARLOW - Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API President Eisenhower in his first news con ference alter Ihe Republicans' smashing defeat Tuesday gave no indicalion he knows how to re vitalize the parly or even that he Will be active in trying to. . He not only appeared puzzled as to why the Democrats won by a landslide but at times in his meeting with newsmen Wednes day seemed In contradict his own thinking on how to plan to win in the I9f.0 elections. ; Asked what he Ihnught caused the Democratic victory, he said tne people apparently didn't pay any allrnlion lo his warning about the "spender wing" of Ihe Demo cratic parly, lie renewed his pledge to fight unnecessary feder al spending. Bui it was Eisenhower himsell who in 1057 and again in 11158 asked the Democratic-run Con-, stress lo approve record peace time spending hudgels. Although he hammered repeal wily on his determination lo re duce spending and was repeated ly asked where he'd make the ruts he didn't name a single area that would feel the ax. He said frankly he duln'l know when asked whal factors he thought caused Ihe Republican de feat day. For one thing, the total con sumption is running behind last year's, which in turn was off from 195B, and well below the peak year of 1046. For another, a smaller per centage of adult Americans touch Ihc stuff today (55 per cent) than at the end of World War II (67 per cent). Temperance groups may he pleased that the biggest drop has been in the younger age groups. Those who do Imbibe have changed Iheir tastes, posing sales problems for the nation's 90 regis tered distillers, 1,500 wholesale and 200,000 retail outlets, . And the locale has changed, too. Before Ihe war 70 per cent of sales was 'o bars and restau rants. Now 70 per cent is to pack age stores, nresumably for home consumption. The indusiry is hoping for a pickup in sales during the ap proaching holiday season the pe iod when the greatest volume is (radii ionally sold. It wil' lure cus- omers again with an array of gift decanlers and fancy cackaging. And this year it will have some ad vertising outlets open lo it for the first time. It, also, counts on the business recovery putting consum ers in a festive mood. The big switch in tastes during the HMO's has been toward straight and bonded whisky at the expense of blends, and the rapid rise in vodka sales, which this year will lake about eight per cent of the market. Benjamin W. Corrado. director of market research for the Na tional Distillers Products Co., says thai for (he first lime since 1943 there will he a 50-50 split in whis ky sales between blends and straight or bonded whisky. Straights are BO to 110 proof and must he aged al least two years. Bonded whisky must be aged a minimum of four years and bot lled at UK) proof. Blends are a mixture of whisky and distilled spirits. During Ihe war no whisky was produced and sIocks on hand were pieced out hy blending with distiller spirils. Prewar consumption Inlalled l.iil million gallons: in 1046 it was 2:18 million and now about 105 mil lion. Despite the drop. Americans drink about 80 per cent of the a warm and wet welcoming kiss. As skipper of Ihe fireboat John D. McKean, otherwise known as engine No. 57, Olsen functions as a sort of Grover Whalen greet- er with barnacles and without car nation. His job is to wave the of ficial municipal hello with noz zles. Since a good many dignitaries of various rank and renown go flitting in and out of New York in any given month, Olsen has to gauge the gush of his greeting to the importance of the celebrity. Someone like Winston Churchill, who has sampled Olsen's spume. would rate the maximum cascade of cordiality. That is eight boats in the fire department fleet gath ered round in a ring and each pumping up 10,000 gallons of sea water a minute in sprays 100 feet high. It's a sight that the visitor is apt to remember all his life, par ticularly if a stiff breeze fans a few hundred gallons across his brow. "When the atomic - submarine Nautilus got back from the North Pole, we even broke out two or three rail hoses on each side of the boat, in addition to the five big monitor guns on deck," Olsen recalled, "ft was raining very hard, but that was a very special occasion so it called for more water." The extra rail pipes put the Nautilus on a social level' with the Queen of England. But lesser nobility or events, say the arrival of a new u.N. delegation' or the opening of a new pier, might rate only two or three boats, depending on their standing in aquatic protocol. It s like deciding whether someone should get an 11- or a 21- gun salute," Olsen explained. Fortunately, we don t have to make the decision. The fire com missioner, sometimes even the State Department, decides how many boats will go and what they'll do." Sometimes, if a waterfront fire should break out at the same time, an eight-boat big shot is lia ble to find himself without a trick,- le of welcome. "When the alarm sounds," said Olsen, "we turn right around and head for the fire, no matter how small it is or how big the visitor is. That's our primary job." Bui he said he agreed wuh Vicc''1"-pi"odurt,on President Nixon Hint the Repub licans "are prone to campaign Very hard Ihe last week or two weeks, or two months of an elec tion, and they don't fight between led ions." Then he added he agrees Willi Republican Chairman Meade Al corn thai: "If the Republicans don't start fighlmg this moniins. this very day lor the next elec tion, they're going to he in a had way. and 1 believe this is line throughout the country." . Right here is where he showed Contradictions. ; The cry fault he hmnri with (he Republicans lh.it they light only Ihe last lew weeks brlmc an election and not hrhvecn elections is Ihe same course he has ol lowed himself. ; Between elections he has taken a position abote the political slrilc, Irving lo gel along wuh Democrats and Republicans alike. nd to avoid partisan political bickering.

Fir cm ii ii 'rf'r Ry HIGH A. MULLIGAN NEW YORK tfi-Four or five times a ninnlh. Capt. Ronald L. Ol sen lakes his fire engine out inlo New York harbor to embrace some very important visitor with II it'll Mood By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. Sometimes a person can have Iwo apparently unrelated disorders at the same time. Q I am suffering from high blood pressure of around 200 and have a heartbeat of 52 a minulc. This has been as slow as 40 beats a minute. Would you please dis cuss this and say whether there is any relationship? Mrs. E. F. A There are several possibili ties for the high blood pressure In a good many instances the cause cannot be identified. A slow heart, such as that described, is quite likely the result of what is known as a heart block. This means that the electrical impuls es passing through Ihe heart are in some cases stopped by failure of the conduction system. It is possible that both the high blood pressure and Ihe slow heart could be Ihe result of some similar hardening process, but it is also possible that they are unrelated. II is true, loo, that some people normally have a slow heartbeat without apparent relation to dis ease. A good many athletes show a slower than normal heartbeat. Without knowing all of Ihe cir cumstances and making technical studies, one could not say what should be done, either for Ihe high blood pressure or the slow heartbeat. Q Would you please say some thing about water on the knee? -Mrs. J. A This presumably refers to the accumulation of what is known as synovial fluid in the knee joint itself or in the bursa which lies close to it. The latter is a form of bursitis, probably the result of injury. It sometimes goes under Ihe name of "housemaid's knee.' The former that is. fluid on the knee joint itself could be Ihe re- OPEN SEASON suit of injury or any one of sev eral Kinds of arthritis. It some times appears in a form of aller gy known as giant hives. The treat ment may involve removal of the fluid through a needle, often fol lowed by bandaging. Other treat ments are sometimes needed, de pending on the degree and appar ent cause of the difficulty. Q Please give an explanation for a clicking sound in the ear, K.M. A It is said that there are three such sounds: An abnormal amount of sticky mucus in the eustachian tube, and nearby areas; a rhythmic spasm of certain muscles- lying internal ly; and last, as a result of injury In the eardrum or its nerve sup ply. Q I have been told that my i uterus is double and 1 should hav an operation. It wis supposed to have been almost impossible for me to become pregnant, but I am What are my chances for carrying this baby for nine months? B A This is an unusual situation I should not want to hazard guess as to the chances of carry ing the infant to full term, but certainly hope that it will occur. The double uterus is what is known as a congenital anomaly and, of course, will not disappear of itself, Q Have the hormones ACTH and cortisone been used with sue cess for multiple sclerosis H. A Not so far as I know, and f should doubt that they would have any favorable effect. Q Please say more about tne change of life in men. I have seen many men literally fall apart dur ing these years. My husband lost his best customer, whom he had served for 30 years. All of a sud den, although known as a mild man who got along well with ev eryone, he started lo argue, be came irritable and even screamed and yelled at me. If more people understood Ihis as a temporary illness in men, they would be more considerate and treat such out bursts as though the man had had an operation or a heart attack. Conluscd wife. A Many men go through life without any such change in per sonality. Furthermore, there is lit tle evidence that a male change of life is alone responsible lor such a striking difference in be havior. People become irritable and ar gumentative for a variety of rea sons. In this instance, if it still persists, it would seem wise to obtain the advice of a psychia trist, Q Please say something about joint mice and what can be done for them. Mrs. E. T. A These are loose bodies often found in the knee, elbow and shoul der joints. They may be the result of disease or injury. Their long time presence generally causes a chronic inflammation inside the joint which is accompanied by an increase in the amount of joint fluid. Sometime movement results in sudden intense pain if one of the loose bodies becomes wedged between Ihe joint surfaces. If Ihey are producing severe enough symptoms they should be removed surgically. Q Please say something about the Guillain-Barre syndrome. My husband has this disease and we should like to know more about it, -Mrs. J. A This is a group of symptoms sometimes associated . with ence phalitis, or brain fever, of virus origin. The principal symptom is weakness in some of the muscles with increase in the amount of protein in the spinal fluid. There is no specific treatment for ft. Recovery may begin within two to four weeks and progress rapidly, or the patient may re gain muscle function only slowly over a period of many months. Q Please explain why one should not have a drink of water within one hour of having a caesarean operation. Reader. A It is inadvisable to have food or water immediately before an operation, particularly if the oper ation involves a general anesthetic. This is because there is danger of vomiting while asleep and this vom itus can in turn be inhaled into the lungs. Afler the stomach has emptied of food or drink there is obviously much less danger.

Results from Tuesday's general election gave the Democrats the posts of governor, U.S. senator, attorney general, slate treasurer, control of the state Legislature and a tie or better in the states congressional delegation. The only statewide offices still undecided were those for lieuten ant governor, secretary of state ind controller. With many pre cincts still uncounted, the out come of the three races could not be ftvetold. With about 80 per cent of the state s 2II,8!I6 precincts reported, Secretary of State Frank M. Jor dan was the only Republican leading in the undecided contests. Democrat Glenn M. Anderson held a slim lead over incumbent Republican Harold J. Powers in he race for lieutenant governor: Democrat Alan D. Cranston led Robert C. Kirkwood for slate con troller; and Jordan led Henry Lopez for secretary of state. But Ally. Gen. Edmund G. Brown pulled into nearly a mil- lon-vote lead over Sen. William F. Knowland in the contest for governor. Rep. Clair Engle' held more than a half million vote lead over Gov. Goodwin J. Knight n tne race lor u. s. senator. Superior Judge Stanley Mosk oiled up a million-vote lead over Rep., Patrick J. Hillings, a pro- ege of Vice President Richard M. Nixon, in the race for attor ney general. A newcomer lo politics, Bert A. Belts, a 35-year-old San Diego accountant, defeated Republican incumbent Treasurer A, Ronald Button. 1 Democrats were assured of 15 seats in the 30-man congressional delegation. Three seals were un decided and Republicans held 12 otners. At the last session, the Republican edge was 17-13. Democrats held an edge in the slate Senate of 26 to 12, with two races undecided, and in the state Assembly of 45-26. with nine races in doubt. At the last session, both parties were tied 20-20 in the up per house, and Republicans held a 43-37 edge in the Assembly. it was the first time since 188!l that the Democrats had cap-; lured numerical control of the state Senate. What was the reason for the Democratic sweep? One was the fact that narlv designations have been on the bal lot for only four years. Many newcomers to California come from areas particularly the Democratic South where they customarily voted a straight party ticket. They are obviously contin uing to do so in their new home. Knight gave another reason. Knight, who reluctantly gave un efforts lo seek reelection for gov ernor alter Knowland entered the race, . said he believed he and Knowland could have been reel- ected easily if they had not switched contests. Knight ran for the Senale seat Knowland vacated to run for gov ernor. We had such a collision it end. ed in political disaster," he said.
