The airmen, returning from training in the South, were ordered from the plane because of the nos- sibility of fire. Some of-them slid down the rope too fast and suf fered painful burns. One airman suffered a bone fracture in a heel in his rapid fall. The plane, its tail in the air as high as a two-story building, was towed to the maintenance line where mechanics said repairs would require about 10 hours of work. While the plane was on the run way, the Portland airport' was closed for two hours to all but smaller planes able to use avail able short runways.

Sparkman (D-Alal that President Eisenhower intjffias to pshriak'- the chief executive's of fice if roalecteW brought R pub lican replies tojay0that Eisenhow er is merely shrugging off the frills'. u "Any such contraction of the presidency as is contemplated in the Eisenhower proposal," A'park- man said last night, cannot but upset the balances set up in our Constitution for the preservation of popular government. Ctairman Paul M. Butler of the Democratic National Committee advanced similar arguments in a speech at Louisville, Ky., in which he said Eisenhower's health is a major campaign issue. Eisenhower said yesterday that if he should ever feel physically unable to carry on the essential duties of the White House, "I won't be there." He did not make clear whether he meant that in such circumstances he would re sign or reverse his week-old de cision to seek a second term. Sparkman, Democratic vice presidential nominee in 1952, said in an MBS tSk that Eisenhc ii promising to handdviir to asso ciate functions whj$h lia.at thg vfty core of the rresidene."

Sparkrt&l? said that in discuss ing the medfcally imposed limits on his activities'' in any second term. Eisenhower . was "quile frankly and openly saying to (tie country that he can ncter He a truly full-time president . . ." "If a full measute of health is ever needed anywhere," Spark man continued, "it is needed in the White House. . "I dq not hesitate to say that the American people cannot and will not sanction the Republican proposal for a part-time president to deal with full-tinfe problems." Sparkman declared that an "ab sence of full-time presidential command" is reflected in almost daily newspaper accounts indicat ing what he termed "indecision, confusion and drift" at home and abroad. , Rebefs3 !And now.,vhe said, "the neo- ple re being asked fidsanctjen the Indefinite extcaYion of this lapse in our constitution, system, in circumstances which make the hazards larger rather than srnaV told a jartydiniier at Louisville,' that the "dominant issue" cut thiso yir s Campaign may well be the constitutional question of the ar bitral diffusion of tic powers of th presidency ando thco resulting avoidance of lack of executive rSa! spqnsibility in office." 0 Terming Eisenhower's health a major campaign o issue, Butler' said: "We cannot ignmw it or pretend to ignore it, without closing our eyes to all the fateful possibilities for (tie nation, that hinge on this question." " , Eisenhower told his news con ference he won't be able to play host as he has in the past but he added "there is going to be no neglect of the duties of the presi dency of the United States . . ." Sen. Allott (R-Colo) called this a clear indication that "the Presi dent is going to be president, not Algiers Raid Farmsnd Blast Vifolwe ALGIJBjlS, Algeria Strong rebel ban swooped dovft on sev en farms in simultaneous attach WcdnesSy night.
