October 21, 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNETHREE Back Stairs: Apple Sauce for Dessert BY MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer Denver (U.R) Backstairs at the temporary White House: Fitzsimons Armv Hospital is trying a new dinner dessert on Fresident Eisenhower apple sauce. He's not much of a des sert man when he's feeling well, but apple sauce is not his idea of an entirely ideal after-dinner sweet. He'd prefer apple pie, but pastry in any quantity is out of the question for the moment. Too many calories. Anybody know how to make a non-caloric pie? This promises to be a rather difficult week-end for members of the White House staff and the press corps who have to meet incoming planes bearing important personages from Washington. . , Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr., arrives at about 6 a.m. Fri day. And Dr. Paul Dudley White, the Boston heart special ist, comes in at about the same hour Saturday morning. Maj. John S. Eisenhower, the President's son, is flying from Washington aboard the same plane with White Saturday for a brief visit with his mother and father. It may be as much as two or three weeks before there is def inite word on where the Presi dent will spend part of Novem ber and most of December fol lowing his release from the hos pital here. , Regardless of what some of the more or less self-informed political figures outside Denver may have to say on the subject, the final decision will be made primarily by the President and his wife with the consent and consulation of the doctors. Gettysburg, Pa., continues to look like the best bet, but a bad spell of weather there in the near future could change everything. There is such intense' public interest in what the President eats , at the hospital that Press Secretary James C. Hagerty must be particularly detailed in describing Mr. Eisenhower's menus. Hagerty, for instance . can't get away with merely saying that a menu includes peas. He must describe them minutely garden, green, black-eyed, petit pois or whatever other forms taken by the lowly pea. Neither can Hagerty say simply that the President had salad.. He must identify the ingredients. Ha gerty incidentally, will be the subject of several upcoming magazine and newspaper articles praising the job he has done in keeping the public informed on the President's illness. The gen eral verdict seems to be that Jim has done an excellent job under trying circumstances. The furniture that's Setting the Trend! See it in the windows at . . .

Frank Carlson (R-Kan.) who believes the President and his wife want to retire to their farm at Gettysburg, Pa., after 1956, passed through Denver yesterday. He's a staunch sup porter of the President, because he figured the Eisenhower staff was ' quite pre-occupied with their own business, he did not get in touch with them during his brief stop-over at the airport.

McAuley, an in structor at Southern Oregon col lege, will have "The 3 R's" as his subject Monday evening when he will speak to members of Medford chapter, . National Office Managers association.
