Nixon Going Through Wringer; Visit May Mark Changing Trend i i 44 i Stilus. Lrle C. Wilson By LYLE C. WILSON United Presi Correspondent ' Washington (U.R) Vice President Richard M. Nixon's invitation to Denver may mark a changing trend, but for the moment Nixon seems to qualify easily for the uneasy position of be ing the most c o n t roversial political figure in the United States. Nixon flies West Saturday. The invitation could consider ably aiter that situation because it came from President Eisen hower himself. The immediate controversy involving Nixon re lates to public charges that he sought to make political hay from Mr. Eisenhower's illness. Tfrere are no facts evident to mjpport such charges although they have been widely circulat ed ana discussed. Caught in Wringer Nixon is going through the political wringer now for the second time, a painful process. . The first was midway in the 1952 presidential campaign when Nixon was charged with receiv ing and using in his own behalf a political slush fund. The 'Republican presidential campaign was stopped dead from Sept. 18 when the charges were made until Sept. 23. On the evening jgf that day, Nixon made a TV-radio financial accounting and trie campaign proceeded. Nixon has been going through the wringer again since the day almost a fortnight ago when he . was told of Mr. Eisenhower's heart attack. That put the vice- president on the; spot. He had some defined and undefined re sponsibilities under the circum stances. But Nixon had no easy prece dents nor sound tradition to fol low. He clammed up to avoid saying anything which might be misunderstood or misquoted. Friends Confirmed Story Arthur Krock, editorial cor respondent of the New York Times and commonly rated as dean of Washington correspond ents, wrote and Nixon's asso ciates confirm it, that the vice president had urged from the moment" Mr. Eisenhower was stricken the importance of avoid ing any action with the color of an effort to make political capi tal of an unfortunate situation. Mr. Eisenhower's note ' this week expressing hope that Nixon would continue to summon and to preside over cabinet and Na tional Security Council meet ings served to protect the vice-president--considerably against the charges made against him. The President's personal invita tion to come to Denver will pro vide further protection as well as tend to cool the gossip that there has been a struggle for power between Nixon and Sher man Adams, White House chief of staff, now running the White House office in Denver.

(International) Mike in Jury Room Brings Subpcenaes Washington U.R) The Sen ate Internal Security Subcom mittee has subpoenaed five per sons to testify next Wednesday about the concealment of a mic rophone in a federal jury room at Wichita, Kan. - All the witnesses were ' con nected with a jury study project by the University of Chicago Law School in which recordings were made of jury deliberations in five civil suits in 1954. . Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr., has criticized the law school for concealing the microphone and said it was done without Justice Department consent. Subcommittee Chairman James O. Eastland (D-Miss.) also hasJ called for whatever legislation is necessary to prohibit viola tions of "the sanctitity of the jury room" in the future. Eastland identified the wit nesses as Edward H.

Marine Firemen Vole Strike Action San Francisco (U.R) Mem bers of the AFL Marine Fire men's Union voted unanimously yesterday to authorize strike action ,"if necessary" to obtain their contract demands from the Pacific Maritime Association. ' Union President Vincent J. Malone said the vote favoring strike action was 504 to 0. Malone said the main obstacle to a new' contract was differ ences with shipowners on work ing rules.

Ine.l When Geraldine Farrar, then at the peak of her popularity as an opera star became a film actress her contract with the Jesse' Lasky company called for $20,000 for three films to be made in eight weeks. Geraldine thought that was a very good deal. Which brings to mind that Greta Garbo was paid $500,000 for one film! Please Note What is corned beef pric2d at in your section? How does the price per pound compare with what was asked before World War II? I am reliably informed in London, corned beef now costs eight times as much per pound as it did in 1939!

Unusual Occasion A very unusual occasion is schedlued to take place in Brook lyn about this time next , year. It will be the silver wedding of a saxophonist. As ' is well known JLo experts on life among the married, saxophone players are the most difficult of all men to break into matrimonial har ness.

' v That Whip As for Swaps' defeat by Nashua I have yet to see mentioned what I consider a major factor in the California colt's defeat. It was Eddie Arcaro wildly swing ing that whip as the horses broke from the gate. Arcaro was whip ping with his right hand. So the whip swung out toward the oth er horse. Swaps swerved at the start; something he never did before. That whip scared him. He may have made up his mind not to get near it again. Horses are funny that way. The wide swinging of a whip should not be permitted as the horses break. Mighty Mite When asked to name the light est player in college football his tory I said it was Pishon of Dart mouth, who weighed 125 pounds. That was wrong.

Friday, October 7. 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Back Stairs: Rest" for Ike in Georgia? By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer Denver (U.R) Backstairs .it the temporary White House: There has been talk in some quarters that the secluded Au gusta (Ga.) National Golf Club might be an ideal spot for Pres ident Eisenhowers' rest follow ing his hospitalization. Some of his key staff mem bers think otherwise. They ap preciate that the Augusta weath er and scenery might be more attractive than the Eisenhower farm at Gettysburg in Novem ber. But as one of his advisers said: "If it were left up to me, I cer tainly wouldn't want him resting from a heart attack at a golf course. Not that he would play a single stroke, but I think there'd be all sorts of worry by the pub lic that he might try to play and endanger himself." Kuche! at Odds Willi Hinshaw on Knight's Ambitions Los Angeles (U.R) Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R-Calif.) to day took issue with Rep. Carl Hinshaw (RCalif.) about the na tional political ambitions of California Gov. Goodwin J. Knight. Hinshaw said Knight is some thing of a political joke in na tional politics. Kuchel said Knight was not considered a political joke in Washington. . The disagreement began when Knight announced he would head a favorite son ticket in the California presidential primary next June if President Eisenhow er does not seek reelection. Political Joke Hinshaw loosed the first blast with the statement that "except in the ambitious dream of Mr. Knight, he is considered some thing of a political joke in na tional politics.' Kuchel defended the governor yesterday with a statement that he is "a good friend, and" an ablj governor." , "I read about Knight in the Washington papers," Kuchel said yesterday. "He was not con sidered a political joke in Wash ington. I , suggest a - little less name calling might be helpful." Knight announced that he would head the ticket, if Presi dent Eisenhower does not run, regardless-of what Vice-President Richard M. Nixon does. . Both ' Considered Friends Kuchel declined to enter a Knight-Nixon controversy. . He said he considered both Knight and Nixon his friends. The senator, . who returned from a European vacation Wed nesday, said he was hopeful Mr. Eisenhower would again be a candidate. The Republicans will carry California in 1956 even if the President 'does not run, Kuchel predicted. Kuchel said he believed Mr. Eisenhower will announce by the first of the year his decision on whether, he will seek another term. Sherman Adams, the assistant to the President, looked tired when he left Denver for Wash ington and the Cabinet and Na tional Security Council meetings this week, and little wonder, with the responsibility he has carried since Me. Eisenhower's illness. During his few days in Den ver, Adams led what appeared to be a solitary life when he was not at - the President's hospital. He was seen frequently dining alone in the Lowry Field Offi cers Club. Speakine of Adams. Robert J. Donovan tells this story about the former New Hampshire gov ernor in the current Collier's: " "Being a man who naturally frowns on waste, he still wears on occasion a vest which he bought while he was a student at Dartmouth 35 years ago. " 'Do you know' another guest said to him at a recent White House state dinner, 'this full dress suit I have on is the same one I had at college?' "That's nothing,' Adams re plied. This one I have on I bought at Abe Schuman's store in Boston, and he went out of business in 1918.' " When the President first took office, he set up a. system for communicating with 1iis brothers. He had a secret post office box in Washington to which they directed their mail. A White House aide picked it up period ically and it was delvered un opened to the President The system is used today only on a very limited basis. For the most part, members of the fam ily channel their personal mail to the . President through his personal secretary, Mrs. Ann C. Whitman, who has no trouble recognizing the familiar en velopes that arrive among the multitudes of other letters.
