It was during the depression years when everyone was traveling about In search of employment that 29-year-old Ziegler pur chased hi horse In San Diego, and began his 980 mile trek up to Medford.

Back Stairs: Ambulance on Standby Call By MERRIMAN SMITH Washington (U.R) Back stairs at the White House: It happened at the dedication this week of the AFL-CIO head quarters building across LaFay ette Square from the White House. The President was seated on the speakers' platform with bowed head as Dr. C. Leslie Glenn, former rector of St. John's Episcopal Church, deliver ed the invocation From a distance there was the wail of an ambulance siren. The siren got louder and louder and finally turned into 16th St., a few feet from where the Pres ident was sitting. When the prayer ended all eyes were on the ambulance. Even the President was craning to see what was going on. When the ambulance backed out of the roped off dedication area, the only explanation seem ed to be that with a bright sun beating down on the dedication crowd of several thousand per sons, someone thought it might be a good idea to have an am bulance standing by in event of a fainting case. - Only hitch was that the per son who had this bright idea for got to tell the ambulance driver that there was no rush and to approach quietly. When Mr. Eisenhower arrived for the dedication, the first thing AFL-CIO President George Meany did after shaking hands stick a large white carnation into the chief executive's lapel. The President seemed just a trifle self-conscious about the blossom. He almost never wears flowers. Bob Hope, the old quip master, is in town today to entertain for Mr. Eisenhower for about the umteenth time. Hope will be master of ceremonies tonight at the annual dinner given for the President by the White- House News photographers Association. Hope seems to average appear ing before a President at least once or twice a year. Buddy Hackett, another top flight comedian, entertained re porters. Hackett wanted to do a routine of golf stories, but some of the newsmen cautioned against it, saying everybody who came to town told golf stories and a certain sameness was be ginning to set in. Hackett agreed morosely and said it was sort of a shame be cause his routine started off with a story about Ferdinand Magel lan who according to Hackett, was somewhat of a golfer, him self "He went around the world in 1521 which ain't bad considering the length of the course." When Indian Prime Minister Nehru visits Camp David next month with President Eisen hower, if the talk becomes too CISCO KID RIDES EAST Hollywood (U.R) Japanese television owners will view "The Cisco Kid" and "Mr. District At torney" this fall under terms of an agreement between Ziv-TV and Tokyo's JOKR-TV. Republican, Nehru will find plenty of reading on the Demo cratic side. An extensive collec tion of books about the Truman administration recently was sent to the Camp David ' library. When Mr. Eisenhower was given a horse at his Gettysburg farm last week, he walked all around the animal, slapping it on the flanks and praising the horse as "good boy." The horse didn't seem to mind but some of the neighborhood farmers might have raised their eye brows. The horse was a seven-year-old mare. The campaign gadgets con tinue to flow into the White House. The latest: black cuff links bearing the jewelled head of an elephant with raised trunk over silver letters proclaiming "IKE."
