ZIGHT MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL THIBUNE Tuesday, Oeiober 23. 19JS Back Stairs: Mishaps on Campaign Trip By DAYTON MOORE Uniled Press Correspondent Washington 'U.R) Back stairs at the White House: President Eisenhower's five day campaign swing last week was sprinkled with mishaps ranging from hotel thefts to frac tured bones among the press corps. Mr. Eisenhower had a blood shot left eye for two days after two tiny pieces of confetti got under the lid in Portland, Ore., and caused a slight hemor rhage. And on the amusing side his alarm wrist watch went off with a buzz near the end of his Port land speech. A sneak thief picked as one of his victims a White House Secret Service agent of all people. Agent Floyd Boring's wallet with $385 was stolen from his Tacoma, Wash., hotel room while he was taking a shower. A wrist watch and $48 also was stolen from the room of Army Sgt. Philip Tarbell Jr., who is attached to the White House staff, in the same hotel. White House newsmen chipped in and .made up the losses to both, however. James Lyons, pool newsreel cameraman, suffered a fractured knee when he fell down a flight of stairs on the balcony of Seat tle's Civic auditorium. His injury forced him to stay behind. enhower's night speech at Port land was delayed because the truck carrying the White House mimeograph machine from the airport to the hotel collided with another truck. Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower proved to have nearly as much crowd appeal as her husband. When she shifted to a closed car in the presidential parade be cause of a cold,- persons along Air Force Plane Missing in Spain Madrid (U.R) A U.S. Air Force plane with five men aboard was listed as missing to day on flight between Madrid and Barcelona. Air Force headquarters here said the craft, an L40 liaison plane, left nearby Getafe Air Base at 4:30 p.m. Monday with four hours fuel. Authorities here launched a fullscale search for the small plane which is presumed down in the rugged terrain of north eastern Spain. U.S. Air Force planes from North Africa and Germany were flown to Spain to aid in the search and the Air Force said Spanish air force planes were standing by.

She left behind her red, white and blue campaign button bear ing only "It." Asked by a re porter what it meant, she said "Ike Twice." Television actress June Lock hart added glamour to the press corps on the West Coast. She was permitted by the White House to go along with the re porters in Washington, Oregon and California "just to see how they work." "It was a thrilling experience," she said. Mr. Eisenhower unwittingly caused a score of University of Washington coeds to skip classes. The girls went from Seattle to Tacoma to get a close view of the President. They stood in the rain at the entrance to the grounds of the home of the Pres ifient's brother, Edgar H. Eisen hower, where Mr. and Mrs. Eis enhower had spent the night. The girls brought with them a huge sign: "U of W Gamma Phi's Like Ike." Edgar's men neighbors vied with each other in contributing food for the President's break fast there. One furnished a spe cial cornmeal. Another, who raises chickens for a hobby, gave the giblets for the gravy to go on the fried cornmeal mush, a favorite dish of the President. He also fried some chicken for the breakfast.

What happens to three young children when their parents fail to meet the responsibilities of marriage and the family home, become divorced, and place them for adoption? The mother wanted the chil dren to have a secure home that she felt she was unable to pro vide. The father was unable to support two families and agreed with the mother that the chil dren should not suffer because of the parents' inability to ad just. Two Prohlems The family first had to find the most workable solution to serve the interests of both the children and parents, and sec ondly, everyone concerned had to adjust to the workable solu tion. The parents turned to the Boys and Girls Aid Society of Ore gon for assistance. The society receives part of its support from the United Medford Crusade. After many hours of counsel ing with the society's staff, the parents decided the best solu tion would be to relinquish the children for adoption. The society placed the children in a carefully-selected foster home and assumed responsibil ity for all their needs. Later the society found a set of adoptive parents for them. The needs of the youngsters, when multiplied by thousands of others, require thousands of dollars which must be carefully budgeted to do the most good. United Medford Crusade board members spend hundreds of hours each year in budget committee meetings where the aRency needs are examined. The Uniled Medford Crusade helps support 25 agencies which work under carefully planned budgets. The Boys and Girls Aid Society of Oregon is a typical example of such an agency.. The hoard of directors of the agenry meets monthly to de cide where the emphasis should he plnred on existing services. Included In these discussions are the Increasing demands for foster home care, maternity care, professional counseling and oth er services. First Step That was the first step in set ting up your United Medford Crusade goal. The budget of the agency first is studied before being filed with the UMC offi cials. The success of last year's UMC campaign meant a secure home and loving parents for the three children. Their natural parents felt they had taken the right step in relinquishing them so they would have normal, happy lives. Russian Observers Studying Campaign Washington (U.R) Three Russian observers set out today to get a first-hand, bipartisan glimpse of American politics in action.

Today's schedule called for visits to the Republican and Democratic national committee headquarters, to local headquar ters of "Citizens for Eisenhower" and "Volunteers for Stevenson" and to the Capitol.

Woman Gives Jungle Specimens To Zoo Washington (U.R) A Pitts burgh housewife who likes to bring 'em back alive has pre sented the National Zoo with 26 golden dendrobates auratus and a blue toucan. The 33-year-old housewife, Mrs. W. G. H. Latham, caught the dendrobates and the toucan during a recent hunting expedi tion to the Colombian jungles. She passed them on to the Na tional Zoo Monday.
