Robinson of the Oregon Farm
Bureau federation says price
siinnorts have not kept costs

falling."
Robinson, addressing the
group's annual convention yes

not be the most important fac
tor in solving low prices and
high costs. 1

ity was linked closely with the
rest of the economy. He said just
as agriculture has reached the
nnint where it must get produc
tion down to the size of its mar
kets, a lot of the rest of the
economy t h a t is producing
ahead of its markets through ex
tended credit may have to stop
and catch up.

Several Businessmen
Tried To Pay Bill
For Ike at Hospital
Denver (U.R) Several busi
nessmen tried to pay President
Eisenhower's bill at Fitzsimons
Army hospital, and one woman
wanted to know why the chief
executive got off so cheap.

terday that before he left Fitz
simons on Nov. 11, Mr. Eisen
hower paid his bill of $51.70
$1.10 a day for meals during
this seven-week stay.
Checks Returned
Last Saturday, Griffin said,
five businessmen at Rogers, Ark.,
sent $50 to cover the President's
bill. And a ' Baltimore attorney
sent a check for the precise
amount, $51.70.
"These checks have been re
turned with a polite note of
thanks," Griffin said.
On Monday, the hospital re
ceived a letter from a woman
who, while being treated in a
naval hospital as a military de
pendent, was charged SI. 75 a
day. She wanted. to know why
President Eisenhower was
charged only $1.10 a day.
"The President was hospital
ized as commander-in-chief of
the armed forces," Griffin ex

quired to pay the rate for food
charged active duty personnel.
The Department of the Army as
sumed his hospital bill."
Didn't Lose Money
Griffin also revealed that de
spite the often fancy fare (pheas
ant, prime :rib of beef, steak)
served the President, Fitzsim
ons didn't lose any money with
its low rates.
. "The President received so
many gifts of food during his
hospitalization that they not only
fed his party, but most of them
went to the patients' mess,"
Griffin said.-'

Emerson Sims, Rev. Wyman's
attorney, and Gresham City At
torney George McAllister, were
