100,000 Viewed Boyhood
Home of Dwight D. Eisenhower
Abilene, Kan. OJA In the past
five yean more than 100,000
persona have taken guided tours
through an unpretentious two-
story house in the old south-side
section of Abilene.
They came from all of the 48
states and from 76 foreign coun
tries to see the modest home in
which Dwight D. Eisenhower,
his parents and his brothers once
lived.
Newly-erected markers along
the streets of this town of 7,000
guide visitors to the Eisenhower
home and to the site of the Eisen
hower memorial, being erected
adjacent to the home.
The Eisenhower Foundation, a
non-political group organized
seven years ago to honor Abi
lcne's most famous son, has
sponsored the building of the
memorial and the preservation
of the home as a shrine.
The home was deeded to the
foundation after the death of
Eisenhower's mother in 1946. It
was opened to the public the fol
lowing year.
Theater railings and carpets
have been installed to protect
the furnishings but otherwise the
residence is the same today as it
was when the Eisenhowers lived
there.
The visitor can see the potted
plants for which Mrs. Eisenhower
was caring at the time of her
death, the piano she bought with
her dowry money and the hook
ed rugs her husband made as a
hobby.
In the living room is the fam
ily Bible open to the "birth"
page. There, under the date of
1890, is recorded the birth of
Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was
born in Denison, Tex.
The Eisenhower memorial will
house the decorations, trophies,
medals and mementos collected
by Eisenhower during his long
'and colorful military career.
The immense collection has
been valued at $1,000,000, and
many eastern museums have
sought to display it. Eisenhower

Tacoma Paper
Again Struck
Tacoma W) The Tacoma
News Tribune, preparing to re
sume publication after a 14-week
AFL pressmen s strike, was
struck again Sunday by some 70
CIO American Newspaper
Guildsmen.
The Guild struck, Howard
Clifford, unit chairman, said,
not over wages but over "man
agement's refusal to bargain
with the Guild for departments
the union had represented in the
past."
The Guild strike vote was
taken Saturday and pickets were
posted around the Tribune build
ing Sunday.
The Guild strike came hard
on the heels of an end to the
pressmen's strike, which had left
this city of 143,000 without a
daily newspaper since April 12.
The pressmen voted Friday
night to accept management's
offer of a 12 'i cent hourly wage
increase, to $3 an hour. The
pressmen stated, however, they
would return to work only when
contract differences between the
Tribune and five other unions,
the Guild and AFL Teamsters.
Stereotypers, Typographical and
Mailers, were settled.
The typographical workers
voted Sunday to reject manage
ment's latest offer in their con
tract renewal negotiations but
failed to take strike action.
Clifford said the Guild's dis
pute was over the Tribune's re
fusal to recognize the Guild as
bargaining agent for inside cir
culation and display advertising
personnel, who had been covered
by previous Guild contracts.
George F. Russell, Tribune
business manager, maintained
there were not enough Guild
members in the two departments
for the Guild to continue repre
senting them. He said no further
negotiating sessions have been
scheduled.

Counties Seek
Half of O&C
Portland W) A Congressional
subcommittee Saturday was told
that Oregon counties are entitled
to at least half the revenue from
Oregon and California revested)
lands.
The Association of O li C
Counties told the committee that
the counties are making large
outlays to maintain roads which
trucks, hauling O&C logs, are
using.
The counties now are supposed
to receive 75 per cent of the in
come. But some congressmen
have objected and part of the
funds have been held back in
recent years.
Rep. Harris Ellsworth (R.,
Ore.) has introduced a bill which
would divide the revenues even
ly between the federal govern
ment and the counties.
Ellsworth was among the four
congressmen here for the con
ference. The others were Ben F.
Jensen of Iowa, Wesley A.
D'Ewart of Montana, and John
P. Saylor of Pennsylvania.
Expelled Doctor's
Appeal Sustained
Walla Walla W) Dr. Miles
H. Robinson, who has sued for

the American Medical Society
has sustained his appeal of the
expulsion.
Dr. Robinson claims in suit
ior aamages mat uie cnargts
