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.

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.

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.

Vice President Richard . M.
Nixon's 1954 campaign line. 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.
Forestry Kits Sent To Boy Scout Council

dustry announcement. Invita
tions to visit plants, tree farms
and other sites will be most help
ful, the announcement said.

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. . ' i
