She suc ceeds. She did Friday night in Medford, anyhow. When the door of the big DC6 opened at the Medford airport Friday about 5:30 p.m. and the vice-president and Mrs. Nixon stepped out in the glare of searchlights and popping flash bulbs, they both immediately started to charm the throng, j young and old alike. Both of S them, particularly Patricia Nix-; .. on, have friendly, smiles and j both succeed in making those they meet feel that they are per sonally interested in each one. Maybe they are, too. If so, its a t mightly valuable quality. Having gone out to the airport with the express intention of following Mrs. Nixon around, we did just that. We watched while she received a big bouquet of bronze chrysanthemums from Judie Bash, who had been literally quivering with excitement for hours, and while she and her husband greeted the long line of city and state officials and Republican dignitaries who had assembled for the arrival. , We watched while they shook hands and signed autographs for the swarm of young people who hung over the airport fence, screaming, yelling and waving banners, and while the two moved on down to shake the hands of a union delegation. ' Having been told in advance that the Nixons would be prompt ly hustled from the plane to cars, since time was short and they wanted to rest, we had given up any idea of talking to the nation's "second lady." But somehow or the other, chance provided an op portunity for Potpourri to walk beside her for a few seconds and so we asked the first question that popped into our head, which was "Is it true that you wired ahead for a pair of shoes?" Mrs. Nixon answered good-naturedly that she had done just that. "I had to," she said. "I broke a heel off one they just gave out!" Just then big Bob Mautz, Republican national committeeman for Oregon hustled her off and that ended probably the shortest interview we ever had. When the motorcade stalled around the corner of the airport building, the Nixons both got out of the car again and Mrs. Nixon greeted dozens of additional well wishers. A small, shivering girl, who turned out to be Margaret Ann Heysell, Lone Pine school pupil, shyly hung her head when Mrs. Nixon tried to shake her hand. "Are you cold?" she asked, and when speechless Margaret Ann nodded her head, Mrs. N. leaned down and gave her a big hug. "There that'll warm you," she said gaily. Having looked with care at the two-page color picture layout of Mrs. Nixon's wardrobe which the Journal carried, we recog nized the heavy black topcoat she wore as one pictured in the magazine. However, her hat had not been shown it was medium in size with a down-dipping brim and the crown was encircled with flat feathers which looked brownish-red and green in the garish light. Potpourri had lots of work to do after dinner, so we couldn t attend the meeting at which Vice-President Nixon spoke in the evening. However, the Tribune's Peg Hutchinson reported that for the appearance at Hedrick school Mrs. Nixon wore the black silk taffeta dress shown in the Journal feature. We quote: Mrs. Nixon's black silk taffeta dress was accented with white lingerie touches on collar and cuffs. A flat matching bow with self fringe finished the neckline. Her jewelry, very simple, consisted of a short single strand of pearls with rhinestone earrings and bracelet. Her pale rose nailpolish and lipstick matched. When seated, a crinoline held her bouffant skirt so it formed a graceful arc on either side of the chair. At first Mrs. Nixon checked her skirt, then didn't seem to worry about it again. Her hair framed her face with soft curls and just missed her collar in back. She wore a small black hat. Throughout her husband's talk the sparkle in her eyes added to the sincerity of her smile. Saturday we learned that Mrs. Nixon did buy some shoes. Burelson's store sent several pairs to the hotel by a boy, but none quite fitted. Upon hearing of this emergency Joseph Patella of the store, who was home with a cold, bundled himself up, went down to the store and selected several which he took to the hotel. Mrs. Nixon chose a pair of black leather pumps, apparently a favorite type of shoe with the "second lady." The staff at the Medford hotel, thrown into a positive dither for at least a week before the arrival of the important couple and their large entourage, and overawed by the swarm of secret service and other security men who practically took the hotel apart with their needful precautionary measures, felt Saturday morning that it had all been quite worthwhile. The cooks were glowing with praise, for hadn t the Nixons and Mr. and Mrs. Douglas McKay come into the kitchen after their late dinner to thank them for the good steak? (The Veep and Mrs. N. had been scheduled to dine in their rooms, but at the last minute changed their minds and dined with the McKays, Mr. Mautz and Wendell Wyatt. chairman of the Republican Central committee for Oregon, in the hotel's new Candle Room.) And the Nixons didn't forget to thank the hotel housekeeper, Mrs. Hazel Jackson, either, for her efforts to make them comfort able. About the most excited person of all was 91-year-old Fred Watson, who had joined his son, Harry Watson, hotel manager. to greet the Nixons in the lobby upon their arrival. Before he left Saturday morning at the early hour of 7 a.m. Vice-President Nixon sent a pen to the elderly man as a memento of the occasion. Manager Watson said the Nixons noticed that he and Mrs. Watson had endeavored to make the room more home-like appear ing by moving a few of their own possessions into it for the couple's brief stay. "They were truly kind and wonderful," de clared Manager W. Saturday, and then added, "it's too bad that government officials can't visit towns like ours oftener, and not just because it's election time. O.S.
