‘Inherent Powers’
Of President Will
Handle Emergency
WASHINGTON, I*—The gov
ernment emerged Saturday from
“Operation Alert 1955” with a
clear decision to rely on the “in
herent powers” of the presidency
to mobilize the country under any
attempted real knockout attack.
This decision appeared to rule
out any possibility that the ad
ministration would seek standby
powers from Congress to invoke a
swift “freeze” of wages and prices
and to assume control of mater
ials and production.
Mobilization Director Arthur S.
Fleming said the decision to rely
instead on the President’s inher
ent powers, as part of which Eis
enhower invoked a pretended
state of martial law, as the “most
important” of the three-day test.
The President rested at his Get
tysburg, Pa., farm Saturday and
the remainder of the government
had returned to Washington from
the 31 hideouts to which 15,000
key officials and workers fled
Wednesday in advance of the sim
ulated atom and hydrogen bomb
attack. From the hideouts they
went through the motions of put

No Need to Fear
Frostbite in Arctic,
Conference Hears
“•Frostbite and cold need not be
feared in the far north,” Dr. Hen
ry G. Storrs of Fairbanks told the
Sixth Alaskan Science Conference
at the University of Alaska re
cently.
He read a paper titled Frostbite
at the second session of the medi
cine and public healjth section of
the conference sponsored by the
Alaska Division of the American
Assn, for the Advancement of
Science.
“Fear of below zero weather
and frostbite has always been one
of the detriments to human habi
tation in the arctic,” Dr. Storrs
said.
He said there is no need for this
fear.
“First and second degree ther
mal lesions are the rule with com
plete recovery,” Dr. Storrs said.
“Prompt removal from cold to ad
equate treatment may account for
the minimal damage.”
He said his studies indicate that
amputation occasionally resulted
from the more severe injuries, but
these were mostly limited to the
‘toes and fingers, without render
ing the individual permanently
“crippled” or unable to resume
gainful employment.
“From analysis of hospitalized #
cases, it appears that prompt,
modern treatment for frostbite
can minimize the damage and
practically eliminate the great
dread of cold as a detriment to
living in the interior of Alaska,”
the doctor concluded.
