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.

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. Levi, dean
of the law school; Harry Kalven
Jr., a law .professor and director
of the project, and Abner Joseph
Mikva, Paul Kitch, and Fred
Strodebeck. '
Kalven has said the record
ings were made with the prior
consent and approval of the chief
judge, the trial judge and attor
neys for all parties, including
the U. S. district attorney.

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! The present
price for corned beef in London
is the equivalent of 56 cents per
pound.

Yes, ma'am. Her real pame is

in-law harbors a belief she has
the same type of figure as Marie
Wilson. What are Maries meas
urements? A. Very few women
have a figure exactly like that
of Miss Wilson, whose measure
ments are: bust, 38VS inches;
waist, 23 inches; hips, 37 inches.
Unusual Occasion
A very unusual occasion is
schedlued to take place in Brook

It will be the silver wedding

known JLo experts on life among
the married, saxophone players
are the most difficult of all men
to break into matrimonial har
ness. Any woman who has man
aged to keep a saxophone player
married to her for five years
deserves a medal. The brilliant
wife who has keptea saxophone
player happily married to her
for 25 years is Rose Postal, wife
of Al Postal. A medal isn't good
enough for Rose. She should
have a" distinguished Service
Cross.

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.

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.
