From Raised Bed
Healing Process
'Well Advanced'
Denver (U.R) President Ei
senhower's progressive recovery
from a heart attack was such to
day that he was able to make a
se&ii-public appearance waving
from, an elevated hospital bed at
fFitz.fhfions Army Hospital to a
group of patients on the ground
below. 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.

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. . :

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,

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

" Another Jackson county lumb

Ruch closed its day shift yester

until possibly next Tuesday. The
firm's night shift "is off indef

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

"The 'producers,' of course,
have made no attempt to set re

increased cost to the consumer
by raising the price about one

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." . . -

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. '.,'-
The Communists then accused
the United States of holding 14,-
,000 missing Chinese prisoners.
