Neff, a 1954 polio victim and employee of United Air Lines here, says he owes much of his recovery to March of Dimes funds which enabled him to spend many months recuperating at the "California Rehabilita tion Center at Santa Monica, Calif. Neff still spends some time each day taking physical therapy treatments at his home but has returned to his job and gets along most of the time without his crutches. The coin collectors have been distributed to places of business throughout the county to enable citizens to make dona tions toward the fight against polio. - (McMurray photo) Back Stairs: Key West Flurry Fizzles By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press While House Editor Key West, Fla. OI.R) Back stairs at the Key West White House: There was a great rumor flurry about the naval base the other night. A report circulated that Marines guarding the en trance to the base where Presi dent Eisenhower is staying had seized a man carrying a high powered rifle equipped with a telescopic sight. One version was that the man drove up to the gate and asked for directions to the President's quarters. & Some checking proved no alarming situation at all. The "man" was a naval officer re turning from a hunting trip. o Mr. Eisenhower probably doesn't know it, but his pres ence here causes a daily traffic jam. at the entrance to the base, The Marine sentries check cre dentials very closely and this produced a jam at the gate as civilian employees of the Navy arrive for work; Daily Weather Report Sunset tonight 4:54 p.m. Sunrise to morrow 7:40 aon.

He does not walk through the city as Mr. Truman delighted in doing. So many people here in the last few days have been telling each other they were Eisenhow er Democrats in 1952 that the local newspaper, the Key West Citizen, took note of the situa tion. Reported the Citizen: "Seems like everybody in town now says they voted Re publican in the 1952 election. In that voting, Monroe county (Key West) gave Ike 2943 votes and Stevenson 4941, although Eisen Pickin' Pears By BILL HURN Members of the engineering section are dismantling holiday displays and decorations at Camp White.

A total of S19, 638.49 was paid into the epidemic aid pool of the National Foundation to assist chapters whose funds had been exhausted. Twice during the past year the National Foundation is sued an emergency call to all chapters in the nation with a surplus of funds to contribute half of such surplus to the strick en areas. On each occasion the local chapter was among the few in Oregon able to comply with the request. Office expense for operation of the chapter during the past year amounted to S361.75. Of this amount, S89.50 was spent in three organizational meetings, S186.10 in travel to send chap ter representatives to various meetings and S86.15 for postage, telephone, etc. A balance of $5,545.59 is now on hand, the report shows. In making the report, Chip man warned that March of Dimes funds are now urgently needed, both on the nationaj and local levels. Development of the Salk vaccine has been a great stride toward eventual eradica tion of the polio scourge, he said, but improvement of the vaccine will take many more dollars. Then, too, the National Founda tion is obligated to care for some 75,000 patients for whom the vaccine came too late. "While a great many people in Jackson county have not yet been vaccinated, we can expect more polio here next summer," the chairman said. "We have no way of knowing whaj our ex penditures will be for the com ing year but we do know that our present balance will not last long if we should happen to get a couple of 'rough' cases," Chip man said. Also, the chairman pointed out, patient care obli gations undertaken by the chap ter late in 1955 will "dig a big hole" in the balance in a short time. Gerry Gastineau, Medford MOD chairman, urged all re cipients of the March of Dimes mailing cards to ' fill the cards and mail them back at their earliest convenience to enable the chapter to be prepared to fight polio in 1956. Gastineau also called attention to coin col lectors which have been placed in business houses throughout the city by the Medford Active club to enable the public to do nate to the polio fight. hower carried Florida." Several years ago, Maj. Gen. Howard McC. Snyder, the Presi dent's physician, thought his pa tient was allergic to any sort of shellfish. Mr. Eisenhower.appar ently had a stomach upset at the time which Snyder traced it to shellfish. If there was an allergy, it has now disappeared because the President . has been enjoying stone crabs, served cold and dip ped in melted butter. The President was walking through the Navy base the other day and spotted a Negro chief petty officer aiming a small cam era at" him. The President walked over in front of the chief and said, "mak ing movies?" "Yes sir," replied the chief without taking his eyes from the view finder. FNewscand From Camp White nesday afternoon.

McCarthy Says Kamin Acquittal Ridiculous Washington U.R) Sen. Jo seph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) has called the acquittal of Leon J. Kamin of contempt of Congress charges "ridiculous to the point of being ludicrous." McCarthy said yesterday Fed eral Judge Bailey Aldrich, who ruled on Kamin's case in Boston "should have disqualified him self since he is a member of the Board of Overseers of Harvard and Kamin was a Harvard pro fessor. "The decision was a foregone conclusion when the judge kick ed out the jury when they heard some spectators in the hall cheering me," McCarthy said.

He told police that he, James and Miss Short were out togeth er the night of her death. The sailor and the woman got into an argument, Von Hiltz said, because James was Jealous of her dates with other men. The argument climaxed when the sailor shot her with a .22 auto matic pistol, the dishwasher told police. i Von Hilz said he- than cut up the woman's body in an attempt to dispose of it. Miss Short, 22, was known as the Black Dahlia because she wore her coal black hair in a flower-like design. Her nude, mutilated body was found . in a vacant lot near a busy street.
