Friday, May 4, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Ike Putting in Relatively Long Day at Desk; Brief Rest Periods 1st n r ; By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington President Eis enhower is now, seven months since his heart attack, putting in a r e 1 a tively long day at his White House office, i n terspersing work with brief but regu lar periods of rest and recreation. a. Rob i. smub chief execu tive's health expected to be something of a political issue in the election campaign ahead, his present condition and the re sponse he has made to his attack of last September is of interest to millions of voters and politic ians alike In the view of veteran White House newspaper correspon dents who cover the president day in and day out, Eisenhower looks and acts like a man who feels well. He has good color and has lost none of the military springiness in his walk When he is in Washington, Eisenhower puts in a working day that begins as a rule around 8 a.m. and ends about 6 p.m. But since his attack, this period is not all work and no play. On doctor's orders, the president breaks up each day with a Ellsworth Lists Forest Service's Oregon Expenses BY HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member of Congress Fourth District Washington (Special) The discussions both here and at home about expenditures by the United States Forest Service on access roads and for other pur poses prompted me to make a formal inquiry of the Depart ment of Agriculture as to just how much money the Forest Service spends in Oregon in a year. The figures may surprise you. They did me: Est. 1956 Est. 1957 Salaries and Expenses S 4.631.490 S 5.242.800 Access Roads 5.042,900 6,096.750 Payments to state from receipts 6.104.818 8.318.700 All other 3,284,513 3.666,630 Total. Oregon $19,063,721 $23,324,880 i Here is some convincing proof that our young people of high ichool and college age in Oregon are unusually intelligent. I have just been notified that the four Cadets now attending the Mili tary Academy at West Point, through my appointments from the Fourth Congressional Dist rict, are All on the "Dean's List." That means that their grades are in the top 25 per cent of their class. The boys are: Bruce Ham ilton, Ashland; John B. Stone, Florence; John H. Peckham, Swisshome; and Terence How ard who was appointed from Medford. Just recently I learned that 12 high school seniors from our Fourth Congressional District had been named in a nation-wide scholarship contest with only 4,300 winners chosen in the en tire country. Half of the win ners from the State of Oregon were Fourth District students. -In the National Science Tal ent Search conducted annually by Science Service 40 outstand ing science students are named as winners and brought to Wash ington, D.C., for a week. Our district has sent winners in that group for 10 of the last 12 years. I expect every high school teacher in the District could add testimony to the above evidence of the brilliance of our young people and to those teachers must go great credit for develop ing outstanding students. December Saturdays Bad for Accidents Washington (U.R) If you are driving across railroad tracks some December Saturday between 5 and 7 p.m., watch yourself. This warning comes from the Interstate Commerce commis sion which recently completed a survey of injuries and deaths oc curring at highway - railroad crossings between 1935 and 1954. The ICC around nightfall as the time when most of these accidents happen. The ICC said 33,558 people have died and 86,278 have been injured in railway crossing acci during the 20-year period. Motor vehicles other than motorcycles have played a part in about 90 percent of the accidents. SLIGHT OVERSIGHT South Windsor, Conn. U.R) After electing Richard Rita as Vs secretary and newest mem ber, the Republican town com mittee discovered: (1) he's not a "Republican: (2) he's not a voter. Said the committee chairman: "He'd worked for us for a year and was so much a part of us that the nomination went through without our thinking about it." - i plunge in the indoor swimming pool at the White House and takes a short nap before lunch. At least once a week, he drives out to the suburban Burning Tree Country club for 18 holes of golf. And more often during the week he practices for 20 min utes or so at a time on the south grounds of the White House. His valet retrieves the balls. Subordinate Greeters The only other noticeable change in the president's daily routine in Washington is that many visiting groups and indivi duals of no great importance are greeted by subordinate officials, such as Vice President Nixon or Sherman Adams, assistant to the president. The presidents' determination to stay on top of his job was best expressed by himself at a news conference in March when a re porter asked him about the De mocratic argument that the Am erican public would not want to re-elect a "part-time president. "There is going to be no ne glect of the duties of the presi dency of the United States," de clared Eisenhower with a flash of anger, "and when I feel I can't carry them on I won't be there." The president's day begins when he is awakened at 6:45 a.m. by his valet, Sgt. John Moaney, who has his breakfast ready on a tray. Since his heart attack, this meal is much more substan tial than before when Eisenhow er was satisfied with coffee and half a grapefruit. Now it usually consists of eggs, bacon or a small beef steak, toast and Sanka. Four Morning Papers With his breakfast tray, the president receives four morning newspapers the New York Times, New York Herald-Trib- Herald and Wall Street Journal, Early in his first term the presi dent tried to keep abreast of new events by reading a one page summary of developments prepared by his press secretary, but this was abandoned after several months. When he is ready to go from the living quarters of the White House to the executive office in the west wing he is usually ac companied by his military aide. Here is how Eisenhower spent a typical working day recently: 8:33 Arrived in office and conferred with personal secre tary, appointment secretary and Sherman Adams. 9:05 to 9:20 A p p o i n tment with William Jackson. 9:20 to 9:44 Appointment with Sen.
