Mac's Condition Remains Critical WASHINGTON UPI — Gen. Douglas MacArthur remained in critical condition today, kept alive by a sturdy heart and a tenacious will. The 84-year-old soldier is battling the effects of kidney failure and internal bleeding—tw r o complications following his third major abdominal operation on Easter Sunday. However, doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center said the five-star general’s heart action was good. Another favorable sign was stabilizing blood pressure and pulse. Early today, hospital sources said his condition remained un-
changed.
Early Monday morning, doctors detected a decrease in his kidney’s ability to flush waste from his body. At the same time, it was discovered that bleeding had resumed intermittently in his esophagus—the tube earning food from the mouth to the stomach. Both complications were spotted about 24 hours after a team of surgeons removed eight feet of his lower intestine which had been strangled by an open herma. It was MacArthur’s third operation in 24 days. After taking corrective measures Monday afternoon, doctors said there had been “a slight improvement in the functioning of the kidney and some reduction in the bleeding of the esophagus.” But they said his condition "continues to be critical.” On March 23, doctors removed the aging warrior’s spleen to stop internal hemorrhaging from the veins in the esophagus.

2 Cars Damaged In Local Mishap Two autos were damaged but a truck emerged practically unscratched in a traffic accident on Ind. 240 in front of the Mallory Plant at 2:30 Monday afternoon. According to Deputy Sheriff Paul Mason, a 1964 Dodge being driven by Larry Lee Keyt, Brazil, Route 3, stopped to make a left turn into Mallory’s parking lot. Warren Holmes, Cartersburg Route 1, driving a 1955 Dodge, stopped behind Keyt. A 1948 International truck being driven by Gary Vickous, Reelsville, Route 1, failed to stop in time. The truck hit the Holmes auto in the rear and pushed it into the rear of Keyt’s auto. Deputy Mason, who worked the accident with Sheriff Kenneth Knauer, estimated the damage at $300 to the Holmes car and $200 to Keyt’s automobile.
