...city of Cologne that the U.S. First Army had smashed into smithereens 14 years before. Placards said: THE CITY OF PORZ GREETS EISENHOWER -TROISDORF WELCOMES YOU-GERMANY TRUSTS EISENHOWER. Mixed among them were placards pleading for help in regaining Germany's lost Oder-Neisse territories, now held by Communist Poland: MILLIONS ARE FREE, MILLIONS ARE NOT FREE.

Its contents: a report on the Communist guerrilla bands swarming antlike out of Red China's puppet state of North Viet Nam into the Utah-sized nation of Laos (see FOREIGN NEWS).

Born to affluence in St. Louis, he had become a Navy medic, been caught up in the soul-searing 1954 evacuation of anti-Communist refugees from North Viet Nam, returned to Asia to set up hospitals in the remotest parts of Red-threatened northern Laos. There, three months ago, "Dr. Tom" was trudging along a snag-strewn jungle trail from his hospital at Muong Sing, only five miles from the Chinese border, to make a "house call" when he fell and bumped his right chest. It felt like nothing...
