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.

Rock 'n' Roll Music Nothing
On Nation's Juke Boxes 30
- BY ROBERT JOHNSON
Teleyision Columnist
Memphis Press-Scimitar
Memphis (U.R) For the past
couple of years, psychiatrists, so
ciologists, graying editors and
disturbed parents have been
peering intently at the phenom
enon known as rock 'n' roll, ex
amining it with distaste as
though it were some new and
particularly repulsive bug im
paled on a juvenile psychosis.
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

a corrupter of young morals. It
is seen as a symptom of the
decline of our young people's
character.
Bosh! 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.

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.
