GIVES HIS APPROVAL Gene Neff, left, of 115 Genessee st.,
gives his approval to the March of Dimes coin collector being
shown by Gerry Gastineau, Medford drive chairman. 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;

Warm Springs Foundation,
where she is still receiving care
at chapter expense.
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.

Four of the suspects were
youths wanted in connection
with leaf "jet - bomb attacks on
Communist controlled offices

Autnorities said they were i
following up every clue to find
the person who planted the 2.2
pound TNT bombs yesterday.

"strong impulse." She also said
at the time she had killed her

holding a diaper over his face

November in Newfoundland.
McCarthy Says Kamin
Acquittal Ridiculous
Washington U.R) Sen. Jo

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.

28th Man Admits
Part in Murder
01 'Black Dahlia'
New York (U.R) A 44-year-old
dishwasher told New
York police today that he was a
witness to the famous 1947 Black
Dahlia murder of Elizabeth
Short in Los Angeles.
Ralph Von Hiltz walked into
a New York police station early
today and told detectives that
he saw a friend of his kill the
woman and said he helped his
friend by hacking up her body.
28th To Confess
Von Hiltz was the 28th person
to "confess" to taking part in
the sensational murder, police
said. The first 27 stories proved
false and Von Hiltz' story was
being checked by Los Angeles
police.
The dishwasher said he had a
sailor friend named Danel James
who had been dating Miss Short
prior to her death Jan. 15, 1947.
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. The body was cut
in half at the waist.
