Back Stairs: Callers Get Full Treatment
"""" By FRAMX ELGAZER
United Press Correspondent
Gettysburg, Pa. (U.R) Back
stairs at the Gettysbury White
House:
President Eisenhower's, offi
cial callers during his recupera
tion here expect the full treat
ment from the press corps when
they leave the President's office.
They aren't usually disappointed.
Republican National Chairman
Leonard W.,Hall, at a 25-minute
news conference following a 45-
minute talk with the President,
successfully fielded a barrage of
questions on, Mr Eisenhower's
second term intentions. Then he
hurried, as a man-reprieved, out
to his waiting limousine.
"I've got to pick up a pack of
cigarets," he told his chauffeur,
glancing up and down the street
for a likely source of supply. The
chauffeur replied helpfully that
he had seen a dispeaser just in
side the door of the temporary
White House press room.
Hall shook his head. -"I
don't want to go back in
there;" he said, with finality.
The chauffeur went back for
the smokes.
The President's privacy on his
handsome farra estate suffered a
sudden decline with fall when
sheltering trees shed their leaves.
Now it easy, with a pair of
binoculars, to get a good look at
the place from any of several
vantage points.
The persistent viewer can al
most count on seeing the Presi
dent, out for a few practice
strokes on his putting green or
strolling around on his farm.
Fortunately for the President's
peace of mind, and desire for
privacy, there aren't many tour
ists here this time' of year. A
pretty weekend though still
brings them out by the hundreds.
Cameramen are something
else again. Press Secretary James
C. Hagerty blew the whistle on
long lenses almost from the
start. He said the President nev
er would feel free to go out if
he knew a camera was trained
on him every moment.
Then there is the matter of
that 75-foot observation tower,
on the edge of the Battlefield
National Park and just east of
the President's farm. It was
closed when the President ar
rived on Nov. 14. Last Sunday,
a beautiful day, lucky sight
seers found the gate unlocked
and climbed to the top by the
score.
The Park Service thought the
Secret Service had o'kayed it;
and vice versa. Turned out some
body had picked the lock. Now
its closed again. . The new lock
will be harder to pick, and who
ever picks it may get into plenty
of trouble.
Hugh Keckler, the President's
nearest neighbor, thought Mr.
Eisenhower might be interested
in his offer to sell the Keckler
. farmhouse, plus 3V2 acres, a
small barn and a couple of out
buildings, for $15,000. He put
For Sale" signs on the place,
just down the road from Mr. Ei-

Columbia Interstate
Bridge Wins Approval
Portland (U.R) Secretary
of the Army Wilbur M. Brucker
has approved, in principle, the
proposed reconstruction of the
inter-state bridge between Port
land and Vancouver. .
Word of the approval was re
leased here ' yesterday by Col.
David S. Parker, acting Port
land district engineer. The pro
posal called for half of the re
construction cost to be borne by
Oregon and Washington, and the
other half by the federal government.
Formal approval of the raising
of the bridge will be issued when
the Corps of Engineers is as
sured by the two states that their
half of the financing will be ac
complished.
Actual reconstruction was
scheduled to be completed in the
spring of 1958, after a new bridge
across the Columbia was finished.

who had picked up a number of

protect the area against commer

in the Keckler offer.
As We Live
Prematurity Does Not
Necessarily Mean Weakness
According to tradition, a pre
maturely born baby will not
grow up to be as healthy and
strong as one who is born at full
term.
(Q) "I am an only child. I ar
rived in the world two months
before I was expected; I weighed
Dr. Herlock
four pounds. I
was in an in
cubator for
several weeks
and the doctor
kept me in the
hospital until
I was nearly
two months
old.
"My parents
have always
been so afraid I would get sick
or die that they have hovered
over me all my life. I am very
strong and healthy, never really
sick, and would like to do what
the other girls in high school
do, but my parents are always
telling me I'm not strong enough
to do these things.
"Now the situation is getting
worse. Every time a boy takes
me on a daie, my mother tells
him to be sure to bring me home
early as I am not very strong.
This makes' me feel like falling
through the floor, but she
doesn't stop there. She invari
ably tells the boy that I was a
premature baby and they almost
lost me.
"Her final word to me as I go
out the door is not to 'dance too
much' or not to 'overtire' myself.
I am afraid boys will begin to
think I am a weakling and won't

want to take me on dates." E.
M. H.
(A) It is very likely boys will
think you are a weakling and,
even worse, when you are older
and the boys begin to think. of
marriage, they may wonder ' if
they want to marry such a "deli
cate" woman. Your mother can
prove to be a real obstacle to
your matrimonial chances if she
doesn't mend her ways.
I suggest you go to your doc
tor for a physical check-up and
a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Explain how your mother has al
ways treated you, what she tells
people, how she keeps you from
doing what you feel you can do
without hurting your health.
The doctor can tell, from the
tests he makes, just how weak
or strong you are and what you
can safely do. Then have him
talk to your mother and point
out to her how unfair she is to
coddle you now that you are a
healthy young woman.
He should be able to convince
her that the effects of your pre
maturity are a thing of the past.

Ontario Dealers Lose
Round in Gas Battle

ance dealers have lost another
round in their battle to restrict
proposed merchandising prac

company which seeks to distrib
ute natural gas here;
City Attorney Tony Yturri, at !
a meeting yesterday, told ap
pliance merchants that any ord

would be circulated in an at
