Bock Stairs: Truman Closely Watched BY MERRIMAN SMITH United Pr Writej Washington (U.R) Back itair at the White Houje: The Democrat being watched by the Eisenhower staff, much more, for the moment, than Stevenson or Harriman, is the former occupant of the White House, ex-President Harry S. Truman. Some of the people around Mr. Eisenhower figure that Mr. Truman may pack a terrific punch at the Democratic Nom inating Convention. names of Humphrey and Folsom merely as examples of high type members of his administration. Key members of the White House staff remember, however, that when the President visited Humphrey s estate in Georgia last February, a noticeable num ber of southerners made it known that they would like to see Humphrey as the President's 1856 running mate. It was reported, but it escaped nationwide emphasis. Mr. Eisen hower was asked at his last news conference: "Mr. Stassen was compelled to speak as an individual. Other members of the cabinet or of cabinet rank came out for Mr. Nixon. Was that because you re gard Mr. Nixon as a member of the team?" The President's answer: "Well, at that time, you re member. I mentioned Mr. Nixon myself because he was then oc cupying the position, and T thought it was only proper and appropriate that in front of such a body as this (his news con ference) that I should express my complete satisfaction with his, as I would about Mr. (Treas ury Secretary) Humphrey or Mr. (Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare) Folsom or anybody else in my official family." How does President Eisen hower look today? It depends in great measure on the observer and how long it has been since j the observer last saw the chief I executive. Take his television appearance last Friday night with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles for example. Some of the photog raphers who had not seen the President since before his June 9 iletis operation thought he looked awful. The reporters and photograp ers who have been seeing the President every few days, how ever, thought he looked pale and thin, but considerably better than he did before his trip to Panama a little over two weeks ago. It would seem normally that Mr. Eisenhower threw in the Mr. Eisenhower was genuinely irritated last Wednesday because his news conference ran longer than 30 minutes. He's not about to do anything about it. but he certainly wishes that the news men would not occupy his time for more than a half hour. Just for the record, the news conference last Wednesday, the President's first since June 6. ran 31 minutes and 15 seconds. For a minute and 15 seconds, Mr. Eisenhower will get sore. His time is that measured. Best current political guess: Because the Democrats keep pounding on the "part time presi dent" theme, Mr. Eisenhower will forego a long vacation this summer and following the GOP convention in San Francisco later this month, will spend much of his time at least until late September or early Octob er in either Washington or Gettysburg. Nutria Exhibit Slated During Round-Up Fete An exhibit of nutria, rare fur bearing animal recently intro duced inio the area, is planned for the 14th annual Rogue River Round-Up Aug. 10-11 at the Jackson' County, Posse grounds. The animals will be displayed by Joe Casad and Mrs. Max Wimmer, representatives of W. S. Curtis and Associates, Berke ley, Calif., who introduced the nutria to this area. The nutria greatly resembles a beaver and the fur has long been considered valuable, the company pointed out. It has only been in recent years, through scientific ranching, that domes tic nutria have been successfully grown commercially. I M4VE THE LADIES OP MY HISTORIC4L. SOCIETY HERE-SOT ItLCdLl.

Many musicians who have been around the past two or three decades snicker at some of th learned theories advanced to explain the music which makes the youngsters jump. One psychiatrist called it "a com municable disease. . .appealing to adolescent insecurity. . ." It has been editorially decried as a raucous, meaningless noise and Court Records POLICE COURT jimn Lee christenaen. excessive noise. S10. , ., . . , .

The real explanation for the sudden popularity of rock 'n' roll is not a sudden attack of teen-age degeneracy. It is ridicu lously simple. , Hit 30 Years Old Rock 'n' roll is not a new music, or perversion of music, if' you're on the critical side. It has been with us for decades. "Shake, Rattle and Roll," one of the early hits of the present trend, was published by W. C. Handy in the 20s. It was written by a white man from New Or leans. In Southern Negro cafes and taverns rock 'n' roll type music has been played for 30 years or more to the exclusion of al most all other types of music jnly it formerly went under the term "race" music and then later was catalogued as "rhythm and blues." Juke boxes have a mechanical brain in them, which automati cally lets the owner know which records are getting played, which aren't. As long as 15 years ago, I did a survey of record popu uarity in Memphis which turned up a "surprising fact that so called race music was outselling all other types, including pop and country, by a considerable margin, that performers com paratively unknown to whites were pulling more money like sister Rosetta Tharpe and Louis Jordan. The white people just didn't hear this music much. Then along came radio sta tions featuring programs of music. First was the prolonged record strike of the Tnid-'40s. when musicians for more than a year could not make records. The big dance bands began to fade. Vocalists made records with harmonica or a capella background. Meantime, also, many bands had gone in for concert type of music. New; Played Years Ago Record music became for listening, instead of for dancing, and the engineer with' his echo chamber and special effects be came important. But dancing is one of man's primitive instincts. Suddenly, the youngsters dis covered rock 'n' roll. It had a dance beat and they took to it with fierce devotion. Many musicians who despise rock 'n' roll for its limitations are tolerant of it. "They're learning to dance again," says old jazzman Tony Pastor, "and when they get tired of music they'll be ready for bet ter music with a beat." And those who, think today's younger generation is going to pot might think about the good old days, Valentino. . .when to day's 40-year-old mothers were screaming for .Sinatra. . .when the Varsity rag, the Charleston, the bunny hug and the shimmy were causing our grandparents to view with alarm.

McAndrews Fhone 2-4107 Gifted Children Benefit Said Lost Madison, Wis. (U.R) Herbert Klausmeier, University of Wis consin education professor, says America is losing the benefit of its gifted children. And, he adds, unless parents and educators decide soon how such children are to be educated, pressure groups will move in and decide for them. Educators at the recent Con ference on Gifted Children in New York agreed that we are now doing our best job with gifted children in elementary grades, not so well in our high schools and very poorly after high school," he said. "They agreed that society's loss in the matter of gifted children after high school is alarming." He said educators at the New York meeting favored develop ment of gifted children not only in areas where they already ex cel, but in all subjects to help them toward well-rounded per sonalities. "The shortage of well-educated, creative adults is so alarm ing that industry is showing great concern about our gifted children," he said. "We must de cide how much we are to segre gate sifted children from others, how early they are to start spe cializing, and to what extent high schools are to become col lege preparatory institutions." He pointed out that another problem is making sure that all potentially gifted children are included in special education. for them. "Society loses gifted children when they cannot continue their education after high school, when they go into unskilled and semi-skilled jobs in industry, when they enroll in colleges and universities and are not suffic iently challenged during their first two years, and when they are unable to pursue appropriate studies because of military serv ice," Klausmeier added.
