Back Stairs: Doctors Worry About Mamie
Br MERRIMAN SMITH
United Prett White House Writer
Denver (U.R) Backstairs at
the temporary White House:
When the President had his
- "tiredness" last Sunday, the doc
tors were as worried about Mrs.
Eisenhower as they were about
the President.
She, to use a non-medical term,
was unhappy and particularly in
quisitive as the heart specialists
of Fitzsimons Army- Hospital
went about their business at the
PreSident's bedside,
f As a more than normally at
tentive wife, she demanded to
know each stage of the exam
ination of the President.
She did not, as a more emo
tional wife might have been ex
pected to do, rush into the Pres
ident's bedroom. She sat nervous
ly in her plain-walled hospital
room across the hall from the
President until the doctors told
her she could come in.
During most mornings at the
hospital, Mrs. Eisenhower sits in
a chic sort of houserobe and
waits for new word from the
doctors. Probably more than any
other person, she is calling the
.shots on the President's recup
eration. If she says he goes to
Timbuctoo for his recuperative
period, that is exactly where
he'll go. Her decision, however,
will be the family farm at Gettys
burg, Pa.
The President's wife, a heart
case herself since she was 18
years old, has turned out to be
the "strong man" in a case shot
with overtones of crisis.
The doctors don't talk much
about it, but they are utterly
amazed that she came through
the President's heart attack with
no complications of her own.
The four-room suite of the
President at Fitzsimons is an
active place around the clock.
The doctors and nurses stay
Junction City Man
Dies in Trailer Wreck
Springfield -UU.Ki Walter R.
Howard, 21, of Junction City
was killed near Dexter, Ore., at
about 12:50 p.m. yesterday when
the dolly trailer he was riding
plunged into a deep gully and a
load of 60-foot pilings rolled on
top of him.
Lane County Deputy Coroner
Howard Ramsey said Howard
was to stop the trailer behind
a Moon Brothers piling truck
driven by Oscar R. Thomsen, 28,
of Eugene.
A dolly trailer houses the rear
end steering mechanism used to
guide long loads around curves.
Ramsey said the dolly trailer
swerved to the north shoulder
of Highway 58 and then whipped
back across the highway and into
the gully. The load of pilings
rolled off the truck and Howard
was crushed. Thomsen was not
injured.

Caff by number if s f eater
(SfYV Telephone people work to meke your
lefepnone a diner vein every day
away from the President's room
unless they have specific busi
ness, but when he calls for a
book of picture puzzles, the at
mosphere changes.
The enlisted medics, the clini
cal attendants and non-commissioned
rank believe that their
number one patient is a very
nice guy.
An attendant comes to the
President's bedside and in a most
deferential manner, inquires
with white-coated civility wheth
er the President wishes a bed
pan. This takes all sorts of tact
and the corpsmen have finally
come to the conclusion that the
President is a very human patient.
The apparent taciturnity of
Sherman Adams, the assistant to
the 'President, was documented
the other night at the officers
club of Lowry Air Force Base,
site of the temporary White
House offices.
While the news world was
rocking under the fact that the
President had resumed his
paper work to a limited degree,
Adams, the man in charge of the
paper work, dined alone at a
table for four in the officers'
club.
Nearby there was a table of
reporters. One man said: "There
sits Sherman Adams, completely
alone.".
Another reporter said, "Why
don't you go talk to him?" One
of his colleagues answered, "And
get my head blown off?".
Adams really is not this sort
of ogre.
. He won't talk about the Pres
ident's condition, but he still
spends hours discussing the stout
merits of iJew England maple
syrup .
Shipowners Face
Threat of Strike
San Francisco U.R) The
AFL Marine Firemen's Union
has warned shipowners to come
up with a "satisfactory" wage
offer by tomorrow or face strike
action.
Sam Bennett, vice-president
of the union, said the warning
was given to the Pacific Mari
time association at a negotiating
session yesterday.
The membership will be asked
tomorrow to give the negotiat
ing committee authority to call
a strike unless a wage offer has
been received by then.
The union is asking a $25
monthly wage increase, a fourth
week of vacation and other ben
efits. The contract has .expired
and is on a day-to-day extension
basis. ;
Meanwhile, the shipowners
and the AFL Marine Cooks and
Stewards union were expected
to announce agreement today
on a new contract.

Neuberger, Coon
Head for Lakeview
Burns, Ore. (U.R) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.),
and Rep. Sam Coon (R-Ore.),
headed for Lakeview and debate
number eight today on Coon's
bill for partnership construction
of John Day dam on the Colum
bia river with the argument
about rates still going hot and
heavy.
Neuberger claimed again last
night at their debate here that
cost of the power under Coon's
bill would be too high to attract
new industry. Coon claimed it
wouldn't.
Some 250-300 persons were on
hand for the seventh in the series
of debates.
The John Day dam, as propos
ed under Coon's bill, would cost
$310,000,000 with local public
and private utilities paying
$273,000,000 for 50-year power
contract. The government would
own the dam.
Portlanders Await

Portland (U.R) Portlanders

Oil Company of Havana sent in
a substantial money gift.
Horace A. Hildreth, U.S. am
bassador to Pakistan, sent in
$3.20 which he collected from
a Karachi businessman. Plus his
own personal check for $50. The
ambassador tacked on a little
note "as one who was governor
of Maine in '47 when the people
helped us so much in our mis
ery after a forest fire."
There were others from
around the world. Little gifts
from Cambodia, Viet Nam the
latter $200.
A dollar bill came through the
mail from an Italian "as a hum
ble token from an Italian volun
teer blood donor who will never
forget what the good old U.S. did
for the reconstruction of my
country. I wish I could make
it more. But as a grape-picker
this is good for me." The Italian
government itself gave $20,000.
Donates Ring
In South Africa a lady sent to
the American consul a ring,
"which I hope you may sell
well." The lady said she had no
cash, but thought the ring should
bring about 10 pounds. That
turned out fine because the
ring, at auction brought about
$70. 4
Venezuela was not .to be left
out. The American ambassador
there, Fletcher Warreti, mailed
in' $15,000 which had come into
his office, along with his per
sonal donation.
Also Warren sent a gold pin
which was donated by a Cuban
citizen who figured he owed the
Red Cross something for favors
done in the past.
Another donor in Venezuela
turned out to be a famous land
scape artist. He sent one of his
best brush-works to be put on
the block here for the highest
bidder.
The Red Cross is waiting for
results of the various raffles and
auctions.

four-year prison sentence for

Around. Hollywood
Hollywood (U.R) Max Baer
used to pummel Jim Broddock
and Primo Camera in champion
ship fights
while the
crowds roared,
but today he
donned a pith
helmet for an
other kind
of battle.
Barrel
chested Max
ie announced
Aline Mosby .' from now' on
he's going to trade punches with
crocodiles and gorillas on the
nation's television screens. -
The man who held the heavy
weight champ's crown in 1934
has been brought out of semi-retirement
and lured back to Hol
lywood for the first time in six
years. He'll play a whip-toting
villain in a kiddies' judge TV
series, "Sheena, Queen of the
Jungle."
"I like to work with gorillas
and crocodiles They remind me
of my ex-managers," growled
Maxie.
The last time he faced a cam
era was for "Skipalong Rosen
bloom." He also appeared in var
ious other pictures down the
years, including "A f r i c a
Screams." In recent years he's
been a TV disc jockey and sports
commentator in Oakland and his
home town of Sacramento.
He lives in Sacramento be
cause "I wanted to raise my
three kids, my cub bears, up
there, and besides I like to emcee
the Governor's banquets."
"My oldest boy is studying to
I ALINE MOSBT
3 Uaitcd Press Correspondent
be an attorney in college, now,"
he said proudly.
"Neither of my two boys will
be fighters. I don't like the fight
game. It's too tough. Dempsey
and Rocky are the only two
fighters I allow in my home." -
But Baer admits he can't stay
out of harness "because to retire
is to deteriorate." When an old
friend, producer Ed Nassour,
told him about the TV jungle
series, Baer jumped to Holly
wood. It seems to me a long stretch
from the championship to play
ing a villain in open shirt and
puttees for a TV series while the
natives (from Central Ave.)
chant:. "Me Ungu, me know
where white goddess lives .
But Baer explained, "I wanted
to do this because I like enter
taining the kiddies ..."
"I get almost as much fan mail
now as when I was champ," he
said. "It comes from all over the
world, some of it addressed just,
'Max Baer, The Champ, U.S.A.
"Why, I walk down Vine st.
and the kids still say, 'Hi-ya,
Champ.' I like that." -. ;
The ex-fighter straightened hit
big shoulders in that well-tailored
jacket and said, "It's better
to be a has been than a never
was."..
