Public Controversy Over Ike's Surgery Public Relations At , White House Weaken WASHINGTON (UP) — So”»«thing has come unstuck in the fine mechanism of White House public relation# It is too soon to know whether the dislocation is serious and permanent, but it easily could The cold political tact which now ia beginning to trouble Republican political strategists is this: Just about every circumstance relating to President Eisenhower s current illness and surgery has blended into an angry public smstroversy. White House press secretary James C. Hagerty was the hero of Mr. Eisenhower's convalescence from Wfet September's heart attack. That same Hagerty may be the goat of the President’s comeback from surgery for an abdominal obstruction. There is division of opinion within the White House Itself on the handling of the news of Mr. Eisenhower's current Illness. Those who criticise Hagerty hold that he made a basic mistake. If so, it -was to permit the attending surgeons to commit themselves publicly a few hours after looking inside Mr. Eisenhower to the proposition that he would recover in fine style and be fit for a second

term. That opinion, coming from the attending medicos, had great political significance. It invited political challenge and it got it. Medical opinions on the expected rate of recovery and the potential rate of recurrence of Mr. Eisenhower’s illness now are a nickel a dosen and cheapening fast. Instead of a national atmosphere of unadulterated sympathy and good wishes for the President’s recovery. there has developed an atmosphere of angry political controversy In the fielß of medicine. Everyone wishes him speedy recovery, of course, but it would be unrealistic to believe that Democratic strategists want to face Mr. Eisenhower again in a presidential election. If the President's convalescence turned out to be mach slower than his attendants have predicted, the Democrats could take the news gracefully. There were some murmurs of dissent from the sturdy confidence of Dr. Paul Dudley White that Mr. Eisenhower's heart attack would not put him on the bench. But there was nothing like the current dispute. For this situation, there is a tendency in some quarters to blame Hagerty. The charge against Hagerty is that he permitted the opinions to bo made public too soon. All of | this must baffle Jim. He is being rebuked now for what gained him the highest praise when Mr. Eisenhower was recovering from a heart attack—the instant transmission to the public of all the information he could obtain, good or bad.

Polio Vaccinations Reported Lagging Four States Turn Back Some Vaccine WASHINGTON (UP) — Th* public health service announced today that four states and • ter* ritory have turned back 187,440 doses of Salk polio vaccine be--1 cause they could not use them im* mediately. , The announcement suggested that vaccinations may be lagging badly in some areas, especially with the closing of most school clinics. Officials insisted the lag is not “to serious” at present. But they admitted that it could become substantial if inoculation programs are not pushed full speed throughoat the summer. Vaccine production is picking up by leaps and bounds. The service announced the release of 4,170,591 doses today, boosting output so favvthis month to more than 10.000)009. That is more than one third of all the shots released In the whole of 1955. The vaccine has been coming off the production lines too fast tor some areas to absorb immediately. Earlier this month, some states temporarily turned back 14,000 shots with the understanding they could get them later when they were needed. Dr. Leonard A. Scheele, surgeon general, has issued a series of urgent appeals to physicians and parents to continue the inoculation program through the summer. Scheele and other polio authorities have insisted there is little or no risk in giving polio shots during the summer even though it has been thought that other kinds ot

Decrease Is Noted In Spring Pig Crop Forecasts Higher Prices Next Fall WASHINGTON (UP) — T h e agriculture department today said the 1954 spring pig crop totalled 53,085,000 bead, a decline of 8 per cent from the spring of 1955. This decline in pig production is expected to mean higher prices tor good butcher hogs this tail. A spring pig crop of 57,490,000 head in 1955 caused hog prices to drop about 40 per cent last fall. The department predicted a tail pig crop of 35,000,000 head down 8 per cent from the 1955 fall crop. The department estimated the total spring and fall pig crop tor 1964 would be M,035.000 head, down 8 per cent from the 95,404,000 head produced in the spring and fall crops last year. The department said the number of sows farrowing this spring totalled 7,450,000 which was also 8 per cent less than the 8,359,000 sows farrowing last spring. The number of pigs saved per litter was 8.94, establishing a new record for spring farrowing and compares with 6.90 pigs per litter in 1965. Reports on breeding intentions indicate a total 5,108,000 sows will farrow this fall. This would be 7 per cent less than the number farrowing last fall. If these intentions materialise and the number of pigs saved per litter equals the 10 year average, with an allowance for upward trend, the 1956 fall pig crop would be about 35,000,000 head.
