A number of newspapers have dug up authoritative evidence of the seriousness of ileitis and—more significant for the American voter—the likelihood of a recurrence. Columnist Doris Fleeson of the Washington and New York Posts produced quotes from Risk Appraisal, an insurance underwriters’ manual: “Slowly, progressively, the ailment [ileitis] becomes chronic, about ten per cent resulting in obstruction of various degrees. Short circuiting operations offer hope, but not much. Prognosis is dubious Recurrence is distressingly high, one in three within two years.” White House spokesmen insist recurrence of the disease is rare in men of President Eisenhower’s age.
In his farewell speech at Moscow, after his fortnight’s Soviet visit, Marshal Tito declared: “Our friendship is based on common aims and mutual collaboration.” He and Nikita Khrushchev, stressing their “common language and mutual understanding,” pledged that “no power on earth is capable of dividing the Socialist countries.” Marshal Tito then returned to Yugoslavia, to prepare for the visit of Prime Minister Nehru of India and Premier Nasser of Egypt, who will both arrive July 18 at his estate on the Adriatic Island of Brioni. There the three will be able to discuss informally the plans decided on in Marshal Tito’s discussions with Mr. Khrushchev.
