British Secretary of State for War John Pro- fumo claimed the rare privilege of making a personal statement in the House of Commons Friday to deny connection with the girl's disappearance.

(UPI Radiotelephoto) LONDON I I Scotland Yard is investigating a report today on the whereabouts, perhaps in Spain, of Christine Keeler, the beautiful redhead whose acquaintance with War Secretary John Profumo causal a stir in Parliament.

Dirksen said today that future foreign aid programs must be made "pinpoint and show-case" efforts to justify their cost.

The Illinois Republican said in an interview that the long-awaited day report and others issued by congressional groups are all responsive to "a real uneasiness and unhappiness" among the country's taxpayers. Dirksen referred specifically to recent reports by Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield and by a group of three other senators who Friday reported that the aid program in Asia can "stand considerable tightening up." The GOP leader had not yet seen the report by a special committee under retired Gen. Lucius D. Clay, submitted to President Kennedy Friday and being made public tonight. The Clay report also is understood to recommend a tightening up of both military and economic assistance, but on a progressive basis.

The Senate group included Sens. Gale McGee, D-Wyo. Frank Church, D-Idaho, and Frank -E. Moss, D-Utah. They recommended "substantive" personnel cuts in aid missions--but on a selective rather than an across-the-board sasis.

They said the problem is not one of "incompetent persons rat rather a case of too many." McGee and his colleagues recommended that priority assistance ie given to Indonesia because of its potential future influence in Asia.

The panel, the same which found both Kroegers guilty of first degree murder, took only two lours and 33 minutes to reject Mrs. Kroeger's plea of innocent by reason of insanity.

To Yoor Health by JOSEPH MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molncr: My doctor dvises me that due to a large 'broid tumor of the uterus I will oon have to undergo a hystcr- clcmy.

Is it considered major surgery? 3oes it bring about menopause well as end the possibility of regnancy? What effect physical- a nd mentally will it have on ie? --MRS. A.K Hysterectomy is removal of the lerus, and fibroids are tlnj most cause. A tumor may be large that there is pressure on nebladder, bowel or other org us. Or, depending on its loca- ion, it may be causing excessive ilceding. Yes, a hysterectomy is major urgcry.

So is removal of an ap- icndix. However, neither should alarm. Removal of the uterus prevents hild-bearing. But in cases juiring such surgery, the pres- incc of the tumor already is, ii most cases, sufficient to prcvenl iregnancy, so for practical purp- osesthis is of noimportancc. As to whether it brings on menopause, that depends.

If a woman in her 40's and hence ncai ncnopause itructurcs, may well be removed. Removal of the ovaries does, ndced, bring on "surgical meno- ause" although it is, after all. ittle more than a matter ol speeding it up a year or two. In younger women, the ovaries may be left in, assuming thai hey are healthy, show no signs of being cystic, etc. In thai case menopause will not come with the operation, hut will occur at (lie time 'usually about 45 when the ovaries stop secretinj, hormones in accustomed quantity.

If. however, the ovaries arc seer to be faulty, this is the best time to remove them. Physical and mental effect ol the operation on you? Physically, once the operation is past, the first effect usually is that the patient begins to fee better. Pressures have been relieved.

As to mental effects, none, un less your psychological outlook is such as to cause it. There is no to cxixjct any mental inr )ael. Femininity is not lost mpaired in any sense.
