MacArthur's Condition Is Termed Grave WASHINGTON (UPI) — Gen. Douglas MacArthur, fighting to recover from his third major operation this month, today developed new complications—kidney trouble and internal hemorrhaging and officials said it was a “matter of grave concern.” In a medical bulletin issued this morning, a hospital spokesman said there had been a “decreased kidney action since last evening” and “this is a matter of grave concern.” “Unfortunately there has been a recurrence of internal bleeding from the esophagus,” the spokesman said. The aging general underwent emergency surgery Sunday for removal of a portion of his intestine. __ It was his third operation this month. His second operation last Monday was performed to stop hemorrhaging in his esophagus—the tube carrying . food from the mounth to the stomach. One good sign doctors noted this morning, however, was stabilizing blood pressure and pulse. The five-star general was reported to have gained and lost consciousness periodically during the day and night. His wife, Jean, visited him several times Sunday but, it was not known whether he talked with her. MacArthur suffered his latest medical setback when surgeons found it necessary to remove eight feet of his lower intestine to relieve a sudden flareup of an old hernia condition. The surgery was performed only six days after MacArthur’s spleen had been removed in a six-hour emergency operation last Monday to stop heavy internal bleeding. MacArthur first underwent surgery on March 6, shortly after he entered Walter Reed, for removal of his gall bladder and gall stones to alleviate a jaundice condition. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

JU ® t \ EVANGELISTIC RALLY— The Washington St. Church of Christ will have three nights of revival services, starting tonight at 7:30 o’clock. The revival will feature Alan, Pat, Leslie and Michelle Laßue. Laßue has been minister at the Palmyra Church of Christ at Fredericktown, 0., for the last four years, and has accepted the ministry of a new congregation in Canada this fall. Larry Morrison, minister of the local church, invites the public to attend the services tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Low Assessments Os Firms Checked Two representatives of the state board of accounts are in Decatur for three days of hearings with business firms whom, they feel, should be required to explain peculiarly Iqw assessments. Gene Stafford and Tom Weaver, of the state board of accounts, have notified a number of businesses asking them to bring in their business records and show cause why they should not receive a higher assessment. They are scheduled to appear every hour. / . The notices were sent after field men checked the county assessments in the county assessor’s office, and wanted to know why some businesses were assessed so low. Those questioned have every right to show why, if they can, from their records. The state board has the right to raise assessments to a fair equal level, if it appears that a serious mistake has been made. Businesses are self-assessed now, for personal property, based on help from township trustees, deputy assessing officials, or township assessor, depending on the location. o Pair Os Accidents Reported In City The city police investigated a pair of accidents that occurred this past weekend, with only minor damage resulting. A car driven by Jesse Daniel Blume, Ji"., 20, of route 2, Decatur, struck an auto which was driven by Raymond Paul Laternier, 24, of 825 Winchester St., in the rear at 2:10 p.m. Sunday, at 222 N. 13th St. Both autos were northbound on 13th and as Laternier slowed for an auto turning in front of him, his vehicle was hit in the rear. Damages were estimated at S7O to the Blume auto and S3O to the Laternier car. A similar crash occurred at 2:53 p.m, Sunday at Monroe and Ninth streets. Mary Louise Kenney, 36, of 803 W. Monroe St., was eastbound and had slowed for a car turning in front of her’s, when her auto was hit in the rear by a car operated by John Allen Graves, 16, of route 1, Decatur. Damages were estimated at $l5O to the Graves car and S4O to the Kenney auto.
