Surgery Shows Gen. MacArthur Has No Cancer United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Gen. Douglas MacArthur underwent major surgery at Walter Reed Army Hospital today, and surgeons found no evidence of cancer. . MacArthur’s gall bladder was removed in the operation conducted by a team of three topflight military surgeons. A hospital bulletin issued nearly four hours after the operation began said that MacArthur withstood the operation well. The condition of the 84-year-old soldier was described as satisfactory. Army Surgfeon General Leonard Heaton, who headed the surgical team, said the operation showed that MacArthur was suffering from gallstones rather than a malignancy. The operation began at 8 a.m. EST. Heaton, head of a three-man team of doctors pei - forming the operation, indicated it would not take long to discover if there was a malig-

nancy. Heaton said MacArthur faced the critical surgery with “the courage of the soldier he is.” MacArthur’s ailment was described Thursday as an “obstructive Jaundice of unknown origin.” The operation was necessary to determine if the blocade was by a cancerous growth or some other condition like gallstones. This was the second surgery for MacArthur in four years. In 1960, he underwent a prostrate operation in New York. The aged military leader’s son Arthur arrived Thursday and reportedly visited his father this morning prior to the operation. Assisting Heaton prior to the ation were Col. Thomas Whelan and Lt. Col. John Jenicek. MacArthur entered the hospital Monday. He had lost weight recently and looked a bit haggard, but reportedly was sufferin no pain. His ailment was diagnosed as “obstructive jaundice of unknown origin.” This condition causes a back up of bile into the blood stream and the exploratory surgery is reuired |o find out what is causing the .obstruction. Heaton, asked about the risks of surgery, said that “any operation on an 84-year-old individual is dangerous.” But he said that MacArthur was “in very good spirit?” and that he was facing the operation “with the courage of the soldier he is.” Heaton said the surgeons should be able to tell ‘‘at the time of the operation” whether Mac Arthur has cancer. He declined to' estimate the length of the operation, but kaid “you don’t prolong operations on elderly people.” If the surgeons find that the obstruction is caused by gallstones, it can be removed by a relatively simple operating.

YOUTH (Continued from Page One) recognized the defendant, the judge added. Cites Cases The circuit court judge cited several cases from the Indiana supreme court, including the case of Rahke vs. the state of Indiana. The cases brought out that when a person impersonates a husband to commit such an assault, the person mgy still be guilty of rape. One case cited was nearly identical to the case in question. The trial was heard by Judge Parrish without intervention, as Beery had waived the right of trial by jury the afternoon preceding the opening of the trial. Evidence was presented Tuesday and Wednesday morning and final arguments were given Wednesday afternoon. After finding Beery guilty of the charge of assault and battery with intent to commit a felony, the judge recessed the court for a few moments and then returned to pass sentence.

DavatiMMl Bradta*: I John 1:4 to fit. xtobody KNOWS bow many ■Ln miracles Jesus performed during the few years between His baptism and His crucifixion. The writer of the Fourth Gospel says that the world could not contain the books that would have to be

written if anyone tried to write up all that Jesus did. John himself makes no effort to tell the whole story. The first three Gospels tell of many miracles; but the Fourth Gospel tells of only seven or

s 9 Dr. Foreman

eight John’s way of tolling the stories is different also. The first three Gospels just tell what happened and let the reader make his own comments. John makes every miracle a kind of text for a sermon or meditation, on the meaning of Jesus, or the meaning of life. A Mm mm 4 Jsms So, we are not going off on the wrong foot but following the evangelist’s example, if we take one of the simplest of these stories and see in it a picture of the way faith grows. In itself the story is indeed simple. The man whom Jesus cured must have been a well-known beggar, for the disciples knew he had been born blind. Jesuk made "day” out of spittle and dust, put it an the man’s eyes, told him to go to a certain pool and wash. The man washed as directed, and “came seeing." Just like that. The story of the miracle is told. But now begins the part (one of many aspects of this story) that brings us meanings, not simple facts. The particular meaning here now for us is the way this matt advanced in faith, Wbgt did be think of Jesus? is the oiestfap. The ex-beggar’s first thought i bait JesiM Was just thfy man sailed ItMM.* Jwi A lM| with a. name, But the pofat WM .he -man caileff Jesus hM/cpM hi# blindness. That jnuch tMMg knew. You. may tbinkftftW ivery lofty faith, indeed m might argue that it Was not fat# at all. But it was. Hb knew had cured him. * AWe*later, the ex beggar tcfld the Pharisees (it really was nene of their business, they only wanted to “get” Jesus somehow) that in his opinion Jesus was a prophet, this did not mean a soothsayer, a fortune-teller; it meant one who speaks God’s truth, a Revealer. A prophet was like a window into the mind of God. Prophets were not supermen, they were quite ordinary men in fact But they were self-emptying men, they let the Spirit of God have his way with them, they were sensitized to the will of God. Many have come only this far on the way to a full faith. But who shall call them unbelievers? Jesus did not denounce this man for coming short of the belief which the disciples of Jesus had towards him. He did not condemn him at all. So we should be slow about denying the name “Christian” or “believer” to men and women of our own time who think of Jesus simply as a teacher, first among teachers or even as one of many teachers. The Lord took this man where he was and helped him to a still higher faith. The oaa Lord Jesus asked the man, finally, if he believed in the “Son of Man." You and I might not understand that question, but this man did. “Son of Man” was one of the common expressions meaning “Messiah” or “Christ,” both of which words were never in the plural. , There was to be only one Son of Man, in a class alone by himself. This was more than Prophet, sos prophets were many. At its height, - faith looks at Jesus not as a mere man, not even as one among other revealers of God, not even as the First Saint; but as God’s “only begotten Son,” God focussed in a single man, the meeting point of the human and the divine. So the man who had been blind, in mdro ways than one, has his eyes opened at last to what Jesus said he him, self was: the Light of the World. And so he did what no man has a right to do to another man: he worshipped Jesus. His heart had found its home at last, in God, ■

WHY STUDY THE BIBLE? Rev. Janies R. Meadows 1. That we may know and by faith keep Christ and His great salvation. / 2. That our growth in Christian knowledge and character may be a continuous process bearing ever finer fruit. 3. That we may meet life’s problems and pressures with increasing spiritual power. 4. That we may be able to recognize both truth and error. 5. That we may more effectively share the crucified Christ with our fellow men by personal witness bearing. 6.
