John Foster Dulles' Widow
Won Praise From Husband
WASHINGTON IUPII The
slight, gray-haired widow of John
Foster Dulles was once credited
by her diplomat husband for "any
thing good I may have accom

Bird In Hand
Worth More
To Frenchman
PARIS (API Alfred Charron
has proved that a good French
man still prelers a bird in the
hand to two in the bush, especial
ly if Ihe bird represents $10,000
As first-prize winner in a news
paper contest, Charron had to
choose between the llu.ono i live
million francs) and a dream year,
with all taxes and expenses paid
The five million, responded
Charron, a 61-year-old locksmith
when asked by Ihe newspaper
L Aurore which staged the con
test. The circulation building conlesl
offered the winner such luxury
items as a new car, new ward
rube, expense-paid vacation and
even school tuition fnr the kids.
Charron slands to get much
more than a dream year. He plans
to retire immediately. He is going
to use about one-fourth of the
money to pay up his retirement
payments, enabling him to quit
work now and start drawing a
modes! pension.
With the -rest I intend to help
my son," says Charron. "He has
helped me a lot and we have al
ways worked together. It is only
right that he should share the
lurk."
Charron's son is also a lock
smith, married and with three
sons of his own.
"They just bought a small
apartment and I can now help
them pay for it. They were crazy
with Joy," Charron says.
To win his money, Charron had
to wade through some .SO puzzling
photo questions. These included
such items as a photo of movie
star Biigitte Rardot with the ques
tion "Kxactly what size is her
waist
Asked what size he said Bar
riot's waisl was. Charron admits.
"I just guesed. 1 can't remember
what I said "
As a result of Charron's choice,
l.'Aurore publisher Robert Lazu
rick won a bet with himself. He
wagered the contest winner would
take Ihe Jin.ono. although the
paper was ready lo go all out if
the dream year was chosen.
Lazunrk was happy on another
count. Before the contest ended,

bedside. She was with him when
he died of cancer last Sunday
morning.
Mrs. Dulles' exceptional devo
tion to her husband and his de
manding public career began
nearly half a century ago. She
met Dulles shortly alter returning
from Europe in 1911.
They were married June 26
1912. at Auburn. N. Y., the home
of the bride's parents.
She bore him three children, two
sons and a daughter.
During one two-year period she
and "Foster" logged 3O0.000 miles
together. Whenever the diplomatic
meetings he attended were open
to the public Mrs. Dulles was
among the spectators.
She delighted in the travel and
the new people she met during the
trips. She spoke fluent French
and some Spanish.
Mrs. Dulles tried to ease the
burden of her husband's demand
ing duties by - creating in their
home a haven from the world's
turmoil. The present Dulles home
in Washington is a French pro
vincial at the edge of Rock Creek
Park.
Dulles' death, even though an
ticipated for some days, came as
a grievous blow to his wife. But
friends said she was bearing up
well in her grief.-

reporters. "She's strong and con

Small Town
Refuses
To Give Up
By JIM VAN VAI.KENRl'RG
DE SOTO, .Mo. AP) This is
story of a town that never gives
up.
Three staggering blows hit De
Soto in Ihe past year. Two plants
closed and a third laid off tioo of
its 850 employes. About 1.000 per
sons were out of work.
De" Soto's 5.5O0 citizens reacted
quickly.
They raised jnofl.OOO in live days
and resurrected a shoe plant by
furnishing operating capital to the
Hamilton Shoe Co. of St. Louis.
They built a plant and talked a
St. Louis metal labricating firm
into moving in. A company which
had shut down donated its plant
to the city and prospects are
bright that another company will
move in soon.
"It was the first lime in my
life I ever had trouble stopping a
tund drive, said George D. Tur
ner. 40-ycar-old cashier of Ihe
American Kmik. 'We h;id the
money we needed in five days
An open house ceiehral ing the
reopening of the shoe factoiy will
be held today for 205 imestors
and their families.
When the otrtlonk was darkest
in January, voters approved hy
almost a 4-tn-I margin a H:0.0i
bond issue to build a junior high
school.
! The fund drive had a grass roots

About 20 men went to work for
Hamilton in St. l.ouis. 40 miles
north of De Soto, after Inter

They heard rumors that Hamilton
wanted to expand.
A committee ol three a labor
union official and two. Chamber
of Commerce members visited
Hamilton officials and learned the
company was interested.
Then Turner met with C. D. P,
Hamilton III. company president
"When Hamilton asked me if De
Soto could raise two. 000. I said I
was certain we could." Turner
said. "You know. I hadn't even
discussed it with anyone.
The De Soto Trading Corp. was
organised by live business and
professional men. The money was
collected and loaned at S per cent
interest to the De Solo Shoe Co .
set up as a wholly owned subsi
diary of Hamilton.
The shoe factory now has a),
most 100 employes with a goal of
300.
Horace Pul'cn, a former union
secretary and now a plant fore

Both Lungs Had Cancer,
Says Senator Neuberger
In U.S. Magazine Article
NEW YORK 'API The cancer
which attacked Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger D-Ore' had spread
into both lungs by the time it wa.
discovered, he revealed in an ar
tide in the June issue ol Harpers
Magazine.
But, he said, the spread was so
little it had been overlooked in the
lirst X-rays. "But there it was."
he wrote, a very small spot on
the periphery of each lung. If not
destroyed, the spots would grow
. . andi eventually spill out ot
the lungs, reaching to the brain
and other vital organs."
This was the first' lime Neuber
ger had gone beyond the medical
statement issued at the time his
treatments were completed las:
January. The medical seport
spoke only of cancer of the tes
ticle. At a news conference then
the senator was asked about re
ports that radiation treatment had
been applied to his chest and he
sajd he would not go beyond the
medical statement.
In his article he told of his fears,
and of encouragement received
from members of both political
parties. The senator said friendly
sympathy offered by some Repub
licans makes him "doubt if ever
(again I could be wholly partisan."
Neuberger said there had na'er
been a question in his mind of the
quality of treatment he would gee
in Portland, and he was told by
one of the country's foremost can
cer authorities to complete his
treatments in Portland under men
described as "real medical schol
ars." He wrote this of his early reac
tions on learning he might have
cancer:
"This was the kind of thing
which always happened to some
body else, but never to me. 1 soon
would awaken from the nightmare,
the cold chills would subside, my
heart would stop pounding and
my wile and I would be driving
through evergreen forests to our
annual vacation on the seacoast.
"But when I did awaken, it was
alter surgery at the Teaching
Hospital. The little lump in my
testicle, caught miraculously ear
ly, was. nonetheless malignant
There was no doubt about that. I
lay back, physically and psycho
logically exhausted, and wondered
how soon I was to die. Then I
heard the doctor, who earlier had
been so candid with me, saying:
" 'We think you're going to be
all right'."
Then. Neuberger wrote, he
learned the cancer had spread to
his lungs, but only slightly, and
he learned too it was a typ which
yielded readily to radiation.
He said he spent an afternoon
with the radiologist who was to
treat him.
" 'Cure is not Inevitable, he be
gan, and I felt perspiration creep
over my body. 'But if we get any
breaks at all, continued the radi
ologist, 'we think you' re going to
be cured.
" 'What do you mean by
breaks,' I asked.
" 'First,' he answered, 'you must
be able lo tolerate the. treatment
so the necessary number of roent
gens can be applied to the affected
areas. That's a whole lot easier
with cobalt than with the old-style
X-ray therapy. Second, we hope
that additional new lesions do not
appear throughout your chest in
such numbers that we would have
to apply a high dose of radiation
to your entire lungs for that can
not be done safely. To a limited
area in the chest, definitely yes:

to the entire chest, no'."
Neuberger wrote of alarm ex
pressed by friends in tbe East
over his decision to have his treat
ments in Portland. A member of
the President's staff proposed to
arrange for care at Walter Reed
Hospital.
"Yet my own decision was never
in doubt. I had complete personal
confidence in my doctors in Port
land. I think this is enormously
important with a disease that im
poses such heavy psychological
stress. Furthermore. I wasneet
ing people day after day who had
survived malignancies more seri
ous than mine, and they had re
ceived their care in Oregon."
He wrote of a visit paid to him
by Dr. Sidney Farber. director of
the Children's Cancer Foundation
of Boston, who studied his case
and as he left by plane said, "If
1 had been in the least dissatis
fied with your care, you would be
on the Mainliner with me tonight,
en route East. But you must stay
here. You are being treated with
skill and wisdom. I am impressed
with your doctors as real medical
scholars.
Neuberger continued under treat
ment. getting cobalt radiation and
injections of a drug, actinomycin
which had been brought here bv
Dr. Farber. The lung lesions grew
smaller and lost their hard out
lines on X-ray film. In time a
trained radiologist, he said, could
not tell the exact location where
they had been.
The senator wrote of his mental
outlook:' "Questions of prestige, of
political success, of financial sta
tus, became all at once unimport
ant.
"Politically I have changed too.
he wrote. "I doubt if ever again
I could be wholly partisan. The
response of the people of Oregon
reflected no party lines. Republi
cans as well as Democrats offered
us the use of their beach cottages
or mountain cabins for convales
cence. The press, without excep
tion was friendly and con
cerned. ...
"Under such circumstances it be
comes hard to bristle at people for
political reasons.

Reminder Given Congress
Of Atomic War Possibility
WASHINGTON API-Congress
was advised today it cannot afford
to forget the possibility of a big
atomic war.
Rep. George H. Mahon iD-Texi
sounded that note of caution as
the House headed into two days
of debate on a bill to provide
(38,848.339.000 for the Defense De
partment for the year starting
July 1. Mahon is chairman of the
subcommittee which wrote the
bill.
The House starts considering
amendments to the measure
Wednesday. Major fights are in
prospect over amendments to in
crease the size of the Army and
the -Marine Corps, lo restore funds
for a super aircraft carrier, and
to change Ihe amounts provided
for missiles.
Mahon said the bill as drawn
is designed to insure peace by
guaranteeing that "we have the
ability in great abundance to deter
global war and to cope with it
should such a war be forced upon
us."
Some people. Mahon said in an
interview, "are saying 'get your
mind off a big atomic war. There
is not going to be one. The thing
to be concerned about is limited
war.' "
He called that "a dangerous
doctrine which the American peo
ple cannot afford to embrace."
To- give top priority to prepara
tion for limited war, Mahon said,
"is to invite general war., Ade
quate preparation for total war is
the best possible deterrent to lim
ited war."
He defied the mobsters .
and went down

career!

Wednesday night listen to Debbie
acknowledge your greeting to her.
The bill provides $399,861,009
less than President Eisenhower
requested in new funds.
The committee cut sharply into
funds asked for the Air Forca
Bomarc missile program and re
fused to provide 260 million dollars
for a new super carrier. Partly
offsetting these reductions was an
increase in money for the Army'
Nike-Zeus missile program.
The committee made no change
in Eisenhower's proposals for an
870.000-man Army and a Marine
Corps of 175.000 men. Some Con
gress members have insisted
there should be minimum
strengths of 900.000 for the Army
and 200.000 for the Marine Corps.
Congress voted money last year
to provide those minimums, but
Eisenhower ignored them.
