f Eisenhower Testing Physical Fitness Dn Attempt To Keach decision on Future By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent ' Washington U.R) The world in Washington today: President Eisenhower's shoot ing and golfing expedition in Georgia is much more than a lay re- treat to con centrate on a great personal problem. Mr. Eisenhower is d e 1 i b erately exposing him self to consid- i i i .i Lyle C. Wilson . umj pnysi- cal activity. He is . testing him self the degree of his recovery. If the spring stays in his legs after a week or 10 days of it, if he sleeps well, if he is not haunt ed at day's end by a warning fa tigue he'll run! You can give odds on that. lis!! Most Senate Republicans voted for the gas bill which Mr. Eisenhower vetoed last week. The veto may embarrass some of them, but not much. Demo crats cannot challenge those votes in this campaign because the bill was maneuvered through Congress by the Democratic leadership. Republican strate gists count the veto a master po litical stroke. They ; figured it killed the give "everything-away-to-the-interests issue which for mer President Truman has been warming up for campaign use.. Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson was the gas bill strategist in the upper house. The word from the tall Texan's office is: If the President wants Congress to do it all over again after further discussion, let him come up to Capitol Hill and lead the fight. ; Mr. Truman has told friends he is "the must snubbed man in the United States" meaning that neither before nor after his inauguration did Mr. Eisen hower seek his advice. On the contrary, the Presidentelect avoided the President. Return ing from Korea in December, 1952, President-e 1 e c t Eisen hower lingered in Hawaii to avoid attending a gridiron din ner to which Mr. Truman had been invited. Mr. Truman didn't go either, perhaps in the belief Mr. Eisenhower would be there. The two do not like each other. Mr. Truman's hurt feel ings are cited in Washington in explanation of his barbed refer ences to the President in the sec ond volume of his recollections. Mr. Truman holds Mr. Eisen hower responsible for "a cam paign of villification and dis tortion in 1952." He called some of Mr. Eisenhower's campaign activities "politically and morally intolerable." This year's campaign pro mises to be rougher and tougher. Top Democrats angrily resented In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS More on getting into Mexico by automobile: . The. first step is getting through the border. If you allow about an hour and a half for the formalities, you won't be far off. 1 Because of extreme tightness of accommodations, it's wise to start in the morning especially if you are entering at Nogales. It's better to get in early than to get in late. This goes double if you do not have confirmed reservations. ; "yOU will probably be told by cynics to have a fistful of dollar bills and shed them lib erally. I wouldn't say that a dol lar bill or maybe a four-bit piece placed discreetly would not speed your passage through the border machinery, but it isn't a necessity. 1ITHEN you get your papers, " keep them handy for a half hour or so. There will be about three required stops shortly after you leave the border station quite similar to the California bug stations. At each stop, you hand over your papers as you must do after crossing a frontier almost anywhere in the world except in free and easy U.S.A. and Can ada. They will be glanced at quickly and returned to you usually with a word of courtesy and often with a wave of the hand and a friendly grin and a familiar idiomatic American "OK." A S TO Spanish. A smattering of it will help in reading traffic signs. In Nogales, for ex ample, there are several "no left hand , turn" signs shortly after leaving the border ' station. It would be embarrasing to get stonped for a traffic - violation right at the beginning of your trip. ! There will be narrow bridges. In such cases, it is useful to know what "puente angosto" means And so on.

Central Medford are reckoned in kilometers in Mexico. Otherwise you'll be apt to drive too fast as a result of mistaking kilometers for miles. Mexico's West Coast highway is in general straight, and fast and smooth, and the temptation to step on it is a natural one. A good rule of thumb , is to mentally multiply the number of kilometers by .6. A kilometer, that is to say, is '.62 of a mile. On the long, straight stretches, a speed limit (Maxima Velocid ad) of 100 kilometers is permit ted. Six-tenths of 100 kilome ters is 60 miles. So if you hold the needle on 60 miles, you'll be right on the button. On the longer straight stretch es, 100 kilometers is the more or less average speed limit. But there are many areas of seem ingly good, straight road where the limit is 80 kilometers. Eighty kilometers multiplied by .6 gives, you a speedometer reading of 48 m.p.h. In the villages and on windings , roads, the limit is apt to drop as low as 20 kilometers (12 m.p.h.). JN GENERAL, . however, one - can rely on covering about the ' same amount of ground as on the reasonably open, fairly straight highways of Southern Oregon and Northern California. This is useful in calculating ar rival time. Towns and villages are relatively few and far be tween, so that one can maintain a good average rate of speed. TN GENERAL, - however, you will need ho Spanish unless you get lost outside the larger towns and need to inquire your way. Almost everywhere, ex cept in the smaller and more remote villages, you'll find someone-who speaks English in vary ing degrees of fluency especial ly in the - lodging and eating spots. In these places, you will have no trouble at all.

It challenged Mr. Truman and his administration on the issue of Communist infiltration of the U.S.' government. Regardless of who called whom what, the bit ter reaction of Mr. Truman and other party leaders persuaded some Republicans that such cam paign strategy was effective. What Mr. Truman may not knowr Mr. Eisenhower censor ed Nixon's 1954 campaign prior to the congressional elections. Nixon would have gone further on the Communist issue had he not been restrained. Mr. Tru man, Adlai E. Stevenson and others have been roughing up Mr. Eisenhower in their recent speeches. If it is an Eisenhower Nixon ticket again this year, the President may not be so eager to censor his young friend again. If it is an Eisenhower-Nixon ticket. What am I saying? It's almost in the bag now.

Monday, February 20", 1356 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Democrats Ask Foreign Policy iew in face of Soviet Claims Washington (U.R) v- Demo crats renewed their demands to day for a congressional review of defense policy. . following claims that Russia is "ahead of us in the ballistic missle race. Trevor Gardner who resigned as chief of the Air Force re search staff earlier this month after a row with the Administra tion over money' for research, urged yesterday that Congress set up a new "czar" to push an emergency missile program. -Russia Believed Ahead "I believe the Russians are ahead of us," Gardner said when questioned about the U. S. ballis tic missile progress. Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), former Air Force secretary: un der the Truman administration, who , also insists the United States is behind in' the missile race, said he was "glad the truth is finally getting to the people." "I am only sorry that under this administration, this appar ently can only happen through resignations," Symington said. Kefauver Asks Full Review . Sen. Estes Kefauyer (D-Tenn.) campaigning for the. Democratic presidential nomination in Min nesota, called for a "full re view" by Congress to "find out if we're properly defending our selves." Gardner said the new missile czar who would be a new deputy or Assistant Defense Sec retary should be responsible directly to Congress for the missile program and should handle money for it "exempt from normal controls of defense funds." He also called for a second "crash" program to increase pro duction of the B52 intercontin ental bomber from a present 17 a month, which he said was "pitifully low," to 45 a month. Gardner said without qualifi cation that this country has "no operational ballistic missile." He said the United States is ahead of Russia in development of air-to-air and ground-to-air defense missiles but behind in develop ment of a ballistic missile. Zhukov's Speech Cited Gardner said Soviet Defense Minister Georgi K. Zhukov's speech Saturday : brought out what U. S. officials "have been fearing for some time." . Zhukov. declared ..Russia " has atomic and hydrogen weapons and "long-range missiles." He said. nuclear bombing of U. S. cities would follow any Western attack on Russia. Air Force Secretary Donald A. Quarles claimed Saturday that the United States is "probably well ahead of Russia in the guid ed missile race," but did not spe cifically apply this to ballistic missiles. .
