Si After his 35-minute sunbata on the eighth floor hospital terrace, the President's physicians in dheir midday bulletin said the electrocardiogram taken of the President today "now shows well advanced evolutionary changes." In lay language, this means that the healing process in his heart, damaged by a coronary thrombosis Sept. 24, is well ad vanced" and continuing to im prove. Patients Watch e About 11:30 a.m., the Presi dent, at the nd of his session in the sun, was rolled slowly around the terrace before being returned to his room. n. Patients, more than a dozen of them in red hospital robes, on the ground beneath the chief ex ecutive, watched the process, Wearing a blue golf cap and sun glasses, the President looked through the railing around the terrace and waved down to the patients. The midday medical bulletin reflected continued optimism over Mr. Eisenhower who pre pared to observe his 65th birth day tomorrow, as hundreds of gifts and congratulatory mes sages pqured into the Denver White House and the Hospital. Observance of the President's birthday will be on the conserv ative side as far as he is con cerned. The White House is pre paring a small cake which will be carried into his room about noon tomorrow. The President sent his princi pal aide to give the Cabinet his views on matters that will come up at a meeting tomorrow. Ike Photographed From High Perch Denver (ttR) Charles Mc Carthy of the United Press News pictures staff made a picture of President Eisenhower today by climbing , to the top of an 85- foot high dnve-in movie screen and photographing him through a 3fi-inch lens. McCarthy said he believed an other Dhotoerapher on the screen also made the same picture. In any case, they were the first pictures made of the President since he suffered his heart at Photographers at Fitzsimons Armv hospital wouldn't use a helicopter, plane, parachute; bal loon dirigible or hook and lad der truck, wst the President or other patients in the hospital be disturbed. The hospital is the tallest buil- dine in miles, so the only way to photograph the President sun s' ning himself was to climb upon the movie screen, half a mile from the hospital.

Peter Townsend Calls on Princess, Queen Mother , London '(U.R) Group Capt. cess Margaret and the Queen Mother at Clarence House tonight. It was the first time since Townsend went into Belgian exile in Brussels two years ago that he had seen the 25-year-old princess who was reported in love with him. ' It still was not known whether Margaret will or will not marry the divorced 40-year-old father of two children. But the meeting at Clarence House seemed to hold out a promise that Londoners, who in recent days have speculated on scarcely any thing else, soon would have the answer to their romantic riddle. Margaret arrived by overnight train from Scotland this morn: ing and went straight to Clarence House, the royal residence where she lives in maidenly splendor with her mother, Queen Mother Elizabeth. Townsend arrived last night, slept late today, and then drove off quietly to his tailor's, with another woman. But the riddle of the most tantalizing royal romance since King Edward VIII gave up his throne for American Wallis War field Simpson continued to .dominate Britain's newspaper front pages. , ' . - Traditional politeness to royalty barred any newsmen asking Margaret the question that filled British newspaper headlines. It simply isn't done. Townsend himself refused to answer it when he arrived in London late Wednesday after a channel ferry flight from his post as air attache in Brussels. . : Michigan Man New Commander of Legion Miami (U.R) J. Addington Wagner, an attorney of Battle Creek, Mich., and Purple Heart winner in World War II, was elected national commander of the American Legion today. Wagner, who has traveled an estimated 86,000 miles in the last two years in behalf of the Legion and his candidacy, was named with only 35 votes against him. Jacob Kessler, Worcester, Mass., nominated Dwight C. Mc Carty of Fitchburg, Mass., and then asked to withdraw the nomination when president Na tional Commander Seaborn P. Collins suggested to make it unanimous for Wagner. Pension Plan Beaten The Legion convention at to day's session also: ' 1. Beat down a determined at tempt to put 3,000,000 Legion members behind a move for $100 a month pensions for all veterans when they become 60 years of age. . 2.

Tribune United Press Full Leased Wire Price 5c No. 174 Luxurious Type of Apartment-Hotel Structure Proposed Organization Being Formed for Project Plans for a multi-million-dollar retirement home, to be built in the Medford area, were an nounced here today. The plans call for construction of a luxurious apartment-hotel type of building, modeled after Willamette View Manor near Milwaukie and Oregon City, which cost some $2,240,000, and opened last December. It is now filled to capacity, with a long waiting list. Forming Organization An organization to be known as the Rogue Valley ..Methodist Home,, Inc., a non-profit corpor ation, is now being formed. M. N. Hogan, Medford broker, is president; the Rev. Meredith Groves, Eugene, district super intendent for the Methodist church, is vice-chairman; Dr. Raymond Balcomb, minister , of the Medford First Methodist church, is "secretary, and Leon ard Clark is treasurer. Apartments in the building can be purchased and life care will be furnished for a monthly fee. At Willamette View Manor, the apartments range in cost from $7,000 to $17,000, and the month ly charge, which covers all neces sities and utilities, is now $100. While the plans are still in the formative stage, the organi zation definitely will go ahead with the project, in cooperation witli the Willamette View Manor staff, which is assisting in the preliminary work. Clyde W. Mummery, organizer and admin istrator of Willamette View Manor, attended a meeting of the board of trustees here last night, to explain how his organi zation operated, and how it got its ' start. ' Inter-Denominational While affiliated with the' Na tional Association of Methodist Hospitals and Homes, the Rogue Valley Manor would be an inter denominational organization, and among the 20 or more members of the board of trustees already selected are ministers; of other denominations. The board event ually will have up to 36 mem bers. , .. As planned, the new manor here would accommodate a min imum of 200 residents, with plans prepared for later expan sion. No site has yet "been se lected, according to Mr. Groves. Willamette View Manor's con struction was finance! entirely from "founder's fees," which are amounts paid in advance for apartments. There are several plans under which this can be done, including the deferred plan for those who wish to ob tain an apartment, but do not wish to occupy it for a period of several years. There are no age limits, but applicants for apartments must meet certain standards. Many Features Among the features of the Willamette View Manor, many of which probably will be in corporated in the local manor, are dining rooms, club rooms, game rooms, a theater, a library, a large landscaped park, cottages for those, who prefer them to apartments, central heating with individual apartment controls, and a wide variety of recreation al features. Mummery said today. the suc cess of Willamette View Manor has caused a revision of plans for similar organizations all over the nation. He pointed out that the average age of the popula tion is growing, with an increas ing proportion of older people, Prices To Southern Oregon Producers' Scheduled To Go Prices paid to Southern .Ore gon producers of Grade A milk Saturday will be restored to the 1954 level, it was announced to day by Richard Westerberg, president of Oregon Milk Pro ducers. The rise in cost may be passed on to the consumer by distribu tors, Westerberg said. He noted that "By raising the price of milk 42 cents per hundred-weight slightly less than Soviet Minister Seeks Votes to Beat Philippines Poland Underdog In Friday Balloting United Nations, N.Y (U.R) Russia today launched an all out campaign to win a seat for Communist Poland in the pow erful UN Security council. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minis ter V. V. Kuznetsov scheduled a rare press conference at which he was expected to make a final effort to gain enough votes for Poland to beat the U.S.-backed Philippines delegation for the council seat. Considered Underdog Observers considered the Sov iet satellite country a definite, underdog in the voting Friday to fill the seat left vacant by Turkey in the rotation system of non-permanent seats on the Security Council. Cuba and Aus tralia are unopposed for the oth er two seats. U.S. Ambassador Henry Cab ot Lodge Jr., said Poland had no claim to a council seat since it "is clearly not a nation which has contributed to International peace and security." Polish Press Conference Polish delegate Julius Katz Suchy, in" a press conference Wednesday, accused the United States of violating, by backing the Philippines, a 1946 "gentle men's agreement" that one of the nonpermanent seats on the council should go to an Eastern European country. 1 Lodge replied that the Polish accusation was "regrettable and untrue." x Lodge declared that the "so called London agreement was a commitment for the first election only." Yugoslavia In 1949 In 1949, Yugoslavia, at odds with the Soviet Union, won the seat over Poland with American backing. It qualified as an East ern European . country but did not meet the implied qualifica tion that it should be a member of the Soviet bloc. Greece won in 1951 and Turkey was elected in 1953, both with U.S. support. While the electioneering con tinued, a dispute raged around UN Secretary . General : " Dag Hammarskjold in the Social, Hu manitarian and Cultural commit tee. Arab and Asian delegates crit icized Hammarskjold for his pro posal, made last Thursday, that the United Nations should set up a special commission-to dis cuss self-determination, regard ed as the crux of the colonial ism. Car Lack Closes Hunter-Best Mill " Another Jackson county lumb er mill was forced to close down its operation yesterday because of the continuing boxcar short age. The Hunter and Best mill at Ruch closed its day shift yester day. The shift will remain down until possibly next Tuesday. The firm's night shift "is off indef initely," company officials said this morning. About 59 men are employed on the company's two shifts. Company officials said Hunter and Best has been building up too much inventory because of the lack of cars to ship lumber. Hunter and Best's lumber ship ments are made from Central Point., . - Shipments are expected to continue as boxcars become av ailable. Milling for Hunter and Best lumber is handled by Triple Milling Company, Inc., Central Point, which also has closed for a week. Triple Milling employs a crew of 25. This is the second shutdown this year for the com pany. and that the plan under which the manors are operated pro vides life-time security for those who can participate. It is expected that the manor here . will not only serve . the southwestern Oregon area, but that people from all over the United States would be attracted to' it as a place for retirement. one cent a -quart producers will again get the price which pre vailed prior to Nov. 15, 1954. "The 'producers,' of course, have made no attempt to set re tail prices, but it is fairly certain that distributors wil pass on the increased cost to the consumer by raising the price about one cent a quart in most localities." Westerberg said the raise to the producer would help offset increased production costs.. He listed bay, machinery and labor Bernarr Dies in Jersey City, N.J. (U.R) Bernarr MacFadden, a leading American exponent of physical culture for more than a half- century, died at the age of 87 here Wednesday night. The wiry little man, who pyra mided muscles, magazines and manly daring into fame and for tune, succumbed to a blood clot on the brain, attending a relapse of a complicated liver and gall bladder ailment. Fasted Into Coma He died in Jersey City Medi cal center, where he was brought from his hotel room last Friday after fasting himself into a coma in an effort to cure .himself of a jaundice condition. Funeral services will be held at noon Saturday from the Frank E. Campbell funeral parlors in New York City and burial will follow at Woodlawn cemetery. An executive of the Barnarr MacFadden Physical Culture foundation said he expected Mac Fadden's personal estate would total less than $10,000. The once five million dollar foundation, he said, is worth between $250,000 and $500,000 now. "The lush days are gone," vice- president Edward L. Bodin said. They've hit rock bottom." Distrust of Doctors MacFadden had a lifelong dis trust of doctors, and generally scorned medical aid in favor of his own prescriptions consisting of exercise, health foods and fasting. However, Dr. Charles Landshof, his physician, termed him a "cooperative patient since Oct. 7, when he entered the hos pital." . . - (See Story on Page 8) 4-H Club Members To Attend PI Show Ten 4-H club members are leaving Friday to represent Jackson county at the Pacific International Livestock exposi tion in Portland, Oct." 15 to 19.

M' Fad den Hospital BERNAR MacFADDEN Funeral Services Saturday Red China Denies American Soldiers Still Being Held Geneva (U.R) Communist China said today it is "ground less" to hope that any missing American servicemen from the Korean war are still held in China. , The Chinese Communists also berated the United States for in jecting the issue into the Geneva talks between the U.S. and Red Chinese ambassadors. Turncoats Offered Return The United States counter charged that Red China is offer ing to free American civilians who in reality are U.S. turncoats who did not want to return home. The Communist Chinese state ments were made today in a broadcast over Peiping Radio which accused the United States of adopting "new obstructive tac tics" in raising the question of the missing servicemen. The American statement came from a U.S. spokesman who said a Chinese offer to hand over 16 Americans included 16 turncoats from the Korean war. The Com munists said 47 of the 66 could go ome "at any time." ' 500 Still Missing "We are still looking for about 500 American nationals we be lieve are still held-on the Chi nese mainland," the American spokesman said. - Peiping Radio in the broadcast that coincided , with the Ameri can statements said such reports were "groundless" and "a fabri cation.
