Washington U.R) Backstairs
at the White House:
9 A visitor last week asked
President Eisenhower how his
cold was getting along.
The Chief Executive's com
ment was brief but graphic. He
merely pulled a package of pills
from each of his coat pockets.
"That's about the size of it,"
he said, looking at the pill
packages.
,Mr. Eisenhower wants to get
away this coming week end if
possible, either to Gettysburg
or Augusta. - '
He's anxious to get on a golf
course and his doctor, Maj. Gen.
Howard M. Snyder, concurs
heartily.
The Chief Executive, cold or
no cold, got in a round at Burn
ing Tree last week, but that
was the first golf he's played
In what Dr. Snyder considers
too long a time.

He was accompanied by several
members of the White House
staff.
When Stephens reached the
airport however, he was led to
a downstairs room where, to his
amazement, there were nearly
200 of his friends waiting to see
him off. Marking the fact that
Tom was born in Ireland, the
Irish minister was on hand for
the farewell along with a harp
player.
Stephens is returning to pri
vate law practice in New York
but will be a frequent visitor
to Washington.
Mr. Eisenhower is using color
photography to help him in his
pastime of painting.
When he travels around the
country, he takes a color cam
era with him and records scenes
which he will paint later. .
On his recent trip to Thomas
ville, Ga., the President made
a number of color photographs
around the stately home of John
Hay Whitney. Whitney has an
opulent estate near the planta
tion of Secretary of Treasury
George M. Humphrey who was
Mr. Eisenhower's host.

Chickaree and Chanterelle ,
The western red squirrel is
commonly called "chickaree."
Early explorers gave the bright
and charming creature the name
because of its trick of trilling
when it chirps or squeaks. An
other native name for it is the
"Douglas squirrel," because of
its association with the douglas
fir tree, which was scientifical
ly discovered by Davd Douglas,
Scotch botanist of the 1820s.
He described the trilling red
squirrel of the Pacific slope
woods also.
The chantarelle is the queen
of northwest mushrooms. It
flourishes best in the deep dark
woods, where the moss hangs
high the rain forest. Chantar
elle caps, rising up from forest
floor moss, are fluted and ruf
fled like little lilies golden in
hue. At first the caps are tan
and button-like. At last the
round caps become hollow, the
color is gold-yellow and they ex
ude an apricot - like perfume.
"The chantarelle has no ring
on the stem and no cup at the
base. The cap and stem run to
gether and the gills run down
from the cap, forming folds on
the stem," says Margaret Mc
Kenny, in her new book on
northwest wildlife.
Douglas Fir Wildflowers . . .
For one like this correspond
ent, who owns a simple mind
and a vocabulary of small words
this McKenny book is a handful
of pure treasure. It has taught
me more about the good little
mushrooms and the bad little
toadstools than I've learned be
fore, in a lifetime of addicition
to mushrooms with meat. Shag
gymane, I know you now! And
now I'm sure I'll never be laid
low by the fly amanita or the
Satan's boletus.
It was the fly amanita toad
stool that Emperor Nero used
to slice up and slip into the
salads of dinner guests that he
had decided; to exterminate. It
earned the first part of its name
through use of its juice as a fly
poison.
Four pages on . the Douglas
fir in a section on wildflowers
are focused on "the two kinds
of flowers which grow on dif
ferent parts of the tree."
"The small, pointed bodies
covered with brown scales con
tain the pollen," writes Miss
McKenny. "Small bristly
flowers borne at the ends of the
twigs, soon become brown cones
with seeds beenath their scales."
In this section, as in the
others, the author of "Wildlife
of the Pacific" gives her subject
the essential elements of its set
ting. That is, the place of the
Douglas fir itself in the history,
the economy and the scenery of
the region, is shown, and the
wildf lower" phase of the tree's
being is related to all the rest.
Tribute to tree farms and to the
products of the Douglas fir har
vest is handsomely paid by the
author. :
The Varying Hare . . .
We are the champion pussy
willow country according to
Author McKenny. Our pussy
willow grows up to 40' in height.
The commonest kind in the
northwest is Scouler's pussy
willow a curious name for a
pussy willow finder. Its catkins
often have stamens. The bees
commonly wake up and . come
forth in the spring for Scouler's
pussy willow pollen first of 'all
just to make bee bread. But the
early bees fill up on nectar too,
while they are at it.
The skunk cabbage has been
up and blooming, big and yel
low, for some time. I learn from
Miss McKenny that there are
little black beetles of swamp
and marsh that like the pollen
of the skunk cabbage and scat
ter it from flower to flower. Its
root has a peppery juice that
bears prowl and dig for when
they come out, yawning, lank,

Mountain Climber Will Seek To Bring
Snowman of Himalayas Back To America
Orange, Calif. U.Pj A for
mer college professor is on his
way to the other side of the
world to look for a snowman.
He wants to bring it back alive.
Although his trip to Nepal is
basically a mountain-climbing
expedition, Norman G. Dyhren
furth admits he has more than
a passing interest in the legend
of the abominable snowmen that
haunt the Himalayas. .
These creatures are know only
by their tracks and the tales you
hear from Nepalese tribesmen
who claim to have seen them.
Four Toes Sizes 12 Foot
"They are definitely unlike
anything we are familiar with
in the Himalayas," said Dyhren
furth, who is a veteran climber
at 35.
"The animal-or-man has four
toes on each foot. It walks on
two feet and runs on all fours.
Each track is as long as a size
12 man's foot but much wider.
"It may have a tail, judging
from the tracks in the snow, and
must be about the size of a
gorilla."
Dyhrenfurth is determined to
capture a Yeti, or snowman, if
he sees one on his expedition
which has as its main goal the
conquest of Lhotse, a 27,890-foot
peak the second highest un
climbed mountain in the world.
Seeks Photo Proof
Even if the snowman gets
away, it is a safe bet Dyhren
furth will get a picture of it.
He formerly headed the motion
picture department at UCLA,
and in 1952, he served as cameraman-director
on the unsuc
cessful Swiss expedition up the
slopes of Mount Everest. It was
then he became convinced the
abominable snowman really ex
isted "I was camped high on Ever

was awakened by the sound of a

tent," he recalled. "I felt the
beast hit the tent - ropes and
heard it growling, but by the
time I crawled outside it had
vanished. I could smell the odor
of a f urbearing animal and I
saw the tracks of a Yeti in the
snow." -; . .
To Take Big Game Guns
Dyhrenfurth has left for Ne
pal via Switzerland. A big game
hunter will join the expedition
in Switzerland or. India. If a
Yeti is sighted the hunter will
have instructions to take it dead
or alive, Dyhrenfurth said.
Dyhrenfurth, who has turned
out many documentary films on
mountain climbing, is one of a
family of climbers. His mother,

Hettie, holds the record for hav
ing climber higher than any
other woman in the world. She
and her husband, Gunter, won
an Olympic medal for their
climbs in the Himalayas in the
1930s.
Dyhrenfurth hopes his expedi
tion, if successful, will bring
some glory to his American
party. He recalled how. the Ital
ians acted after their country
men conquered the Himalayan1:
peak K-2 recently.
"The success in climbing that
mountain meant , more ; to the
average Italian than any World
Series baseball games ever
meant in America," Dyhren
furth said. "Not that I have any
thing against baseball I just
like mountain climbing better."
