His Army medical team fought the lung condition with antibiotics. oxygen, and frequent changes in his bed position to lessen the accumulation of fluids. They said the pneumonia 1S common in elderly patients recovering from surgery. As for his digestive tract: "His gastrointestinal function has shown further return to normalcy," the doctors said Sunday, "so much so that it was possible this morning to increase his diet to include orange juice, a soft-boiled egg, tea and toast." Late in the afternoon, hospital officials reported that Eisenhower "spent a quiet day, catching up on needed rest" and that his "oral intake and his vital signs continue Eisenhower had been on a liquid diet since several days hefore the surgery, one Walter Reed source said.

He said NATO is now "in a pitifully weak shape" and blamed this on former Presidents Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Nixon's European trip, Goldwater said, "is an attempt to pour a little cement" into the NATO alliance. Goldwater said flatly that the Soviets are "ahead of us in nuclear missiles of all types, shapes and kinds." Both senators also agreed on the need for an antiballistic missile system.

Goldwater said he tends to favor a "thick" one while Jackson said he thought a "thin" system such as the Sentinel would serve to "complicate Russian attack on us. any, Russians, Jackson said, "are going ahead deploying their (ABM) system."

Local Vote Goes Smoothly In Viet SAIGON (AP) The first of a series of local elections in newly secure areas of South Vietnam were held Sunday and official reports indicated they went smoothly despite the enemy's current offensive. The voting, scheduled to continue on the Sundays, is to extend administration by elected officials to about 9,000 the country's estimated 15,000 A little more than half the vilvillages and he hamlets. lages and hamlets already have elected officials. The remainder have been appointed, mainly because few candidates would volunteer to run for fear of Viet Cong reprisals. Now, South Vietnamese and U.S.

pacification officials say, improved security in various areas is permitting normal election procedures. South Vietnamese military spokesmen said they had heard of no incidents of terror or violence connected with the voting. U.S. officials said they knew of no election violence either, but added that their reports were not complete. One American official, spotchecking polling places near Saigon, said he was "very encouraged." The Viet Cong may wait for next Sunday or the one following to react to the voting, which Communist propagandists attempt to undercut.

The Viet Cong's National Liberation Front claims control of 70 per cent of South Vietnam's 17.3 million people. The government claims control of 90 per cent.
