o SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, March 8, 1956 Soldiers Slightly Injured in Mishap Portland 4J.R) A nose wheel of a four-engined C-124 Air Force Globemaster collapsed as the plane landed here last night and some 50 soldiers suffered burned hands sliding down escape lines to safety. The plane carried about 100 airmen of the 460th fighter-in terceptor group returning from Georgia where they had been on a training mission. There were no serious injuries. The big plane stopped in the middle of the two longest run- ways on the field and incoming traffic was stacked up over the city for almost two hours. Twin engine craft which could use shorter runways at the Interna tional airport were the only planes which could leave until the C-124 was pulled away from the runways. Those aboard were ordered to leave the ship by "escape lines" when officers feared the plane might catch fire. The lines run from the top of the plane which is as tall as a two-story build ing. The soldiers with burned hands were treated at the base (-hospital. Florida Snails To Wage cWor on Hawaii Variety Lessburg. Fla. (U.R Two hundred mean and hungry can nibal snails raised in Forida are on the way to Hawaii to wage war on giant snails in vegetable gardens. . F. C. W. Kramer Jr., 81, O raised the snails as a sideline and sold them to the Hawaiian government for 25 cents apiece. He airmailed the snail colony Wednesday. "These cannibal snails are so mean that they will not only eat other snails, but each other as well," Kramer said. "We had to pack them in egg cartons and give each snail a stateroom of his own for the air voyage over the Pacific." Dead line Sunday Classified Is at noon Saturday: 10 a m Monday for Monday: other days 5:30 previous day Sparkman Serves Notice Demos To Make Issue of Ike's Health Washington U.R) Sen. John J. Sparkman (D-Ala.) served formal notice Wednesday night that Democrats would make President Eisenhower's health a major campaign issue. He said Mr. Eisenhower was working only a 35 to 40 hour week now compared to the 60 hours he devoted to the affairs of state before his heart attack. The people will not reelect "a part-time president to deal with full-time problems," he said. Sparkman, Democratic vice presidential nominee in 1952, made his charges in delivering to the nation the Democrats' "reply" to Mr. Eisenhower's radio-TV speech of last week ex plaining his decision to seek a second term. Spoke Over One Network Sparkman spoke over the Mutual Broadcasting System, , the only network giving the Democrats equal time to an swer Mr. Eisenhower. The other networks argued that Mr. Eisen hower spoke only as a candidate for the Republican nomination and not against the Democrats. Sparkman said that "if a full measure of health is ever needed anywhere, it is needed in the White House." He said that reelecting Mr. Eisenhower as a "part-time pres ident" would weaken the presi dency itself. He pointed out that Mr. Eisenhower already has said he would hand over "to his associates functions which lie at the very core of the presidency, and which, under the constitu tion, cannot be delegated to non elected subordinates of the president." Sparkman also said that de spite White House claims Mr. Eisenhower has not returned to "full-time . . .command" since his heart attack. Charges Mideast Indecision He said Mr. Eisenhower's isolation from the stream of events" had been reflected in administration "indecision" on Middle East policy, the farm and defense crises, in meeting Rus sia's new "economic offensive" and in Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' "brink of war misadventure." The President told the nation in his radio-TV address that as a result of his heart attack,- he would have to curtail some activ ities but could carry . out "im portant" duties as well as ever. At his news conference Wednesday, he gave this reply when asked what he would do if he found out before the Re publican National Convention that his health has deteriorated: , "I have said, unless I left abso lutely up to the performance of the duties of the president, the second that I didn't, I would no longer be there in the job or I wouldn't be available for the job."
