pupils at the state institution.
Additional anti toxin serum

all students had been put on
prophylactic antibiotics (presum

A majority of students, includ

PORTLAND UTi ,Two basement
explosions shattered a sidewalk
and injured three men in down
town Portland Tuesday.
The blasts occurred in the base-J
ment garage of the A. B. Smith
Chevrolet Co., shattering the side
walk overhead and causing addi
tional breaks in the concrete along
a 100-foot stretch.
Employes Frank Scott, S3, and
Edward Schmelzer. St, suffered
burns and shock. Frank Fessler,
CO, was cut by flying concrete.
Several other employes in the
building escaped injury.
Scott said the explosions were
touched off when he turned on
basement light. Gas from a nearby
main was blamed tentatively.
A number of new cars in the
basement were damaged, but D. O.
Moore, manager, said he could not
estimate loss immediately.
The blast touched off the auto
matic sprinkler system, and it
took some time to turn it off. By!
that time a foot of water had
collected in the basement. The

Individuals interested in the con-,

trailer parks, hotels, convalescent
homes or other businesses which
require county, state or city li
censes were advised to contact the
respective health departments for
an opinion oi the suitability ot
the building site for trwage dis
posal installations.
Private home loan institutions,
builders and residential developers
were also urged to check on sites
before starting or approving con
struction becaase soil absorption
tests may be required before ap
proval is granted.
"If all pertinent conditions and
requirements for satisfactory sew
age disposal cannot be resolved
and any doubt arises that septic
tanks and the absorption trenches
may not give satisfactory year-
around operation, approval of in
dividual sewage systems cannot be
granted by the health depart
ment, the statement said.
Unusually heavy rains this win

head de-
veloping drainage and sanitation
problems in suburban areas. Two
areas, including the 600 Clark

tion of sanitary or drainage dis

unexpected death of Gov. Paul L.
Patterson, was not unexpected.
He had been frequently mentioned
as a possible candidate even be

of the president's philosophies of

Doctors
Agree on
Verdict
Held Capable of
5 to 10 Years of
Presidential Duty
By WILMOT HERCHER
WASHLNGTON W - A medical
jury Tuesday found President Eis
enhower physically fit for a second
term in the White House.
Its verdict brought fresh pre
dictions from GOP leaders that
Eisenhower would run again, and
stock shot up on the San Francisco
and Los Angeles exchanges, which
were still open when the news
broke.
Dr. Paul Dudley White, the Pres
ident's chief heart consultant, re
ported that he and five other physi
cians had told Eisenhower he
"should be able to carry on an ac
tive life" in the presidency "for
another five to ten years."
l U Elueahawer
But it la still up to Eisenhower
himself to decide whether he will
lead the Republican Party through
another presidential campaign this
year or retire to the peace and
quiet of his Gettysburg. Pa., farm.
"The choice is his, not ours,
White told about 100 reporters
gathered in the old State Depart
ment building to hear the doctors'
verdict.
CtattltutUaal Limit
Although Dr. White spoke of "5
to 10 years," the Constitution lim
its presidents to two elective
terms. Under the 22nd Amend
ment, which became effective five
years ago this month. Eisenhower
thus could serve only one more
fryear term.
The medical report was good
news to those who want Eisen
hower to run for re-election.
Democrats expressed pleasure
' he President's recovery but
doubt that he is strong enough to
carry on for another five years.
Werk$ Vacation
Eisenhower himself has said be
probably will rely more en how
he (eels than on what the doctors
tell him. He leaves Wednesday for
a week a vacation on Secretary oi
the Treasury Humphrey s planta- ;
Uon near ThomasvlUe, Ga. He may
make his second term decision
there. .. ..

at the Walter Reed Army Medi
cal Center Saturday.
Then, after White made a per
sonal examination of Eisenhower,
they drew up a report which pic
tured the President as a pretty
healthy fellow of 65.
AH the doctors concurred In the
statement that Eisenhower should
be able to carry on in the White
House for another five to ten
years. But White, who served as
one of the spokesmen, would not
say specifically he recommended
that the President seek re-election.
