36 Prisoners
Break Own Legs
To Protest Work
BUFORD, Ga., M—Thirty-six
prisoners broke their own legs
with 10-pound sledge hammers
Monday in protest against work
ing conditions at Rock Quarry
State Prison, the “Little Alcatraz”
of the Georgia penal system.
Jack Forrester, state director
of corrections, said a prison doc
tor told him 29 white and 7 Negro
inmates cracked bones in their
legs during an afternoon rest per
iod at a rock quarry where they
were working half a mile from
the prison.
He said the men placed their
legs on rocks and “started whack
ing away” with the hammer nor
mally used to crush rock. There
were no cries of pain, he said.
Guards watching the 189 pris
oners in the fenced-in quarry
were taking a rest at the time and
said they did not notice what had
happened until they ordered the
men back to work.
Warden Hubert Smith said the
injured men told him after the
incident that they felt that their
wheelbarrows were too heavily
loaded and the sun was too hot.

Senator Sees
Political Slant in
Doctor’s \rticle
Doctor Says Public
Not Given All Facts
On President’s Health
WASHINGTON un—Sen. AUott
<R-Colo> yesterday labelled as
“politically sltgUed” an assertion
by Dr. David B. Rutstein that the
public has not been given all the
facts about President Eisenhow
er’s illnesses.
Dr. Rutstein, head of the Har
vard Medical School’s department
of preventive medicine and vice
president of the American Heart
Assn., raised the issue in an At
lantic Monthly magazine article.
“The public," Dr. Rutstein said,
“was not informed of the pub
lished scientific evidence” that
three researches on heart attacks
such as those suffered by Eisen
hower showed only 50 percent of
such patients survived at the end
of five years.
With respect to the President's
intestinal operation, Dr. Rutstein
said Eisenhower’s physicians gave
no indication “that ileitis is a
chronic disease with a rate of re
currence varying between one
third and two-thirds of those on
whom operation is performed, de
pending on the state of the dis
ease, the type of surgery, and the
duration of the follow-up.”
“Neither did they indicate that
the majority of recurrence comes
within the first year after opera
tion," he said. “Nor was there any
mention of the medical fact that
difficulty might be anticipated in
maintaining the President’s nu
trition and weight, or the further
likelihood of future periods of
disability. . . .”
Allott, a friend of the President,
said he regards Dr. Rutstein’s ar
ticle as “part of the trend toward
making the President’s health an
I issue in the campaign.”
“His statement sounds like it is
politically slanted,” the Colorado
senator said. “The people are well
informed about the President’s
condition.”
