Interpreting News
by J. M. Rooerts
A. P. News Analyst
If there is 'any comfort a>t all
to Ibe extracted from the presid
ent’s illness it lies in the vast
amount of information about
the symptoms, causes and re
sults of heart disease which
has been spread among the
people.
Possibly excepting the spate
following the announcement
of the (Salk polio vaccine, no
single scientific problem has
received such concentrated at
tention from all media of in
formation since announcement
of the atom (bomb in 1946.
It is possible that the pre
sident’s illness will have an
even greater impact on the cam
piaiign against heart disease
than did that of President
Roosevelt on polio, because Ei
senhower was stricken while
in olflfice and Roosevelt was not
In that light, it is hard to
understand why the presidents
aides should be embarrassed by
any efforts to utilize the wide
spread public interest in rais
ing imoney to fight the nation’s
No. 1 ikiiller.
The presidential office is one,
of course, which must be pro
tected from use for most promo
tional purposes and the aides
are probably right in wanting
to wait ifor his own reaction
on the point. But Eisenhower
has so often expressed realiza
tion df the humanitarian as
pects of the presidency that his
later approval seems likely.
In this connection, also, one
cannot help but wonder wheth
er it is time for the govern
ment itself to start all-out fin
juicing of the research and pro
motion needed in the battles
against all major diseases, such,
as heart trouble and cancer. |
Would amply (financed “crash”
programs do more quickly what
the voluntary programs have
done for polio and tuberculosis?
Experts disagree. One of the
possibilities is that there may
not be enough trained men to
take advantage of suddenly in
creased research facilities.
Another possibility is that
basic information is not yet
sufficient dn which to base such
programs.
The crash program which
produced the atom bomb could
not have been conducted in
1920 Ifor this reason. It could
have Ibeen conducted in 1939.
It was not begun until four
years 'after that under the pres
sure of war. But Americans
would be unhappy if conoentr
ated attacks on any major dis
ease should be delayed after the
: basic knowledge is available.
> Any suggestion for govern
ment support of such projects
hallways raises the fear that they
would advance the cause of
socialism.
This need not be true unless
the authors and administrators
, of such projects wish it to be
\ true. Inherently, the mass sav
ing of life 'is not more social
istic than arrangements ifor its
* mass destruction.
