TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. June II, 135S Backstairs: Closely Guarded Doors By RICHARD E. MOONEY United Preu Correspondent Washington U.R Back stairs at the White Hous hos pital: There's a backstairs to every White House. At Walter Reed ident'i visitors come and go through a closely guarded side entrance. Reporters can see them but unfortunately it's a long dash from White House Press Secretary James C. Hager- Army Medical Center, the Pres- ty's news center inside. Three Drivers Get Citations Following Weekend Mishaps Daniel C. Clevenger, 72, route 2, box 744, Central Point, was taken to Community hospital by Medford Ambulance, Sunday af ter his car and another operated by Kathryn B. Neil, 65, of 52Vi East Main st., Ashland, collided on highway 99 at Talent late Sunday night. State police ' said Clevenger's car was travelling north on high way 99 when Mrs. Neil turned onto the highway from the Tally Ho drive-in parking area. Offic ers said Mrs. Neil's car crossed the highway and turned north, then Clevenger's car hit hers from the rear. Mrs. Neil was cited for mak ing an improper turn, officers reported. Clevenger is suffering from back injuries, hospital au thorities said. Theodore Dittmfcr Cook, Med ford, was cited for following too close Saturday night after his car collided with one operated by Robert Stanley Chase, 29, Central Point, on Valley View rd., near Highway 99. State police said Cook's car was following Chase s venicie, when Chase stopped and his car was hit in the rear by Cook's vehicle. No one was injured and Fewer Cases Among Vaccinated Youths Chicago (U.PJ Surgeon General Leonard Scheele said today there were 75 per cent fewer cases of polio among chil dren vaccinated with Salk polio vaccine last year than among unvaccinated youngsters. He said "the overall attack rate among vaccinated children, most of whom had only one in jection, was only 6.3 per 100, 000." "Among the unvaccinated, the attack rate was 29.2 per 100, 000," Scheele said. "Thus the data show a reduction of at least 75 per cent in the rate of paralytic polio among vaccinated children." Scheele made the statements in a speech prepared for the 105th annual meeting of the Am erican Medical association. He also said that since May, . 1955, when vaccine was first j released under revised safety j standards, "there has been no epidemiologic evidence that any j lot of vaccine of any manufac. j turer has been unsafe." "Unquestionably," he said, "we now have a vaccine which is sfanding up under the most j careful scrutiny with respect to safety and effectiveness." j The surgeon general recom-; mended that vaccination pro grams should continue all sum-. mer to give the best possible pro j tection. both cars were damaged. Lloyd Elmer Pitts, 42, route 2, box 19, Jacksonville, was cit ed at 4 a.m. Sunday for parking on the paved portion of the highway after his car was struck by another vehicle operated by Jim Henry Womack, 21, route 1, box 19-C Jacksonville. State police said Womack was travel. ling west on highway 238, about five miles west of Jacksonville, when he rounded a curve and saw Pitt's car in his lane of traffic. Officers said Womack applied the brakes and apparent ly skidded into Pitt's car. There were no injuries and damage to the vehicles was minor, state po lice said. No Citations. Injuries No citations or injuries re. suited from another accident at 4:14 p.m. Sunday on highway 99 seven miles north of Medford. State police said. Hazel D. Wolff, 55, of 322 Benson St., Medford. was attempting to make a left turn from the highway. A pick up following Mrs. Wolff passed her car frim the riht. officers said. A third vehicle, operated by Orie Earl McElroy. 35, Springfield, was following the pick-up and McElroy failed to see Mrs. Wolff's car in time to stop. His car struck Mrs. Wolff's vehicle in the rear. Damage to the cars was minor, officers reported. There's plenty of truth in Hagerty's quip that the Presi dent's illness would "make doc tors out of reporters and re porters out of doctors." The doc tors at press conferences have shown some keen understand ing of what the public wants to know about their famous patient. And reporters who never heard of an ileum before last Friday are discussing the small intestine as familiarly as they would a hangnail. Will the intestinal operation change President Eisenhower's mind about running for reelec tion? A radio-TV network man polled 14 of the regular White House reporters on duty at the hospital's emergency press head quarters. Ten think he will run. Four think he won't. Hagerty's oft repeated answer when the question comes up: "I have no interest in anything except get ting the President of the United States out of this hospital." One favorite question among newsmen at hospital press con ferences is "What pajamas is the President wearing?" They have a vested interest. The White House reporters gave Mr. Eisenhower an elegant pair when he was hospitalized after suffering his heart attack in Den ver. Mr. Eisenhower has this dapper nightwear at home and dons it occasionally. At the hos pital, he's been wearing a tan model. Reporters are not moochers. but they do accept small gifts. There's a seemingly bottomless urn of hot coffee in the hospital press conference room, and the press conference is using it free ly. Beside the urn is a tin pitcher with the words "coffee kitty" scrawled in crayon on the side. After 48 hours of coffee drinking there was one lonely dime in the bottom.

Wage Negotiators Into Crucial Vork New York U.R The "Big Three" steel wage negotiators prepared' today for their most crucial sessions in the two-week-old bargaining conference. Management is expected to present to the union by Wednes day at the latest counter pro posals sharply scaling down the 22 contract demands of the Uni ted Steelworkers of America. Current contracts between the 650,000-member USW and 172 steel companies expire at mid night on June 30th. Failure to write a new pact by that time could trigger a serious strike affecting the entire economy. The union's package demands are believed to add up to a whopping 60 cents an hour, which would cost the industry around $800 million a year if met in full. Nobody had any idea what management's counter - offer would total, although it would be substantailly less than what the union was asking. Serious bargaining on a new contract cannot begin until aft er the union has received and studied management's counter proposals.
