TWKLTI MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. May 9, 1957 Back Stairs: Dynamiting in the Catoctins By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer Washington U.PJ Back stairs at the White House: Recently there has been heavy dynamite blasting in the area near Camp David, the presiden tial hideaway in the Catoctin Mountains of Western Maryland. Some of the residents of the area have been asking each other whether the government might be building some bomb shelters near the camp which President Eisenhower still uses occasion ally for meetings of large groups, although his Gettysburg, Pa., farm is only about 20 miles away.' Another local theory is that the government may be putting in some small dams on the streams " running through the federally owned Catoctin recre ational area to help improve the fishing. I water becomes so bright that the fish, mostly trout, remain hidden in the shadows. Another factor causes a rela tively sudden fall-out in trout fishing in the President's neck of the woods. With warm weath er, the flies begin to hatch, and the fish, with such an ample sup ply of natural food on hand, be come finicky about going for artificial flies and other lures. Some of the president'i staff, Including Wilton B. Jerry Per sons, deputy assistant to the President, and Earl Chesney, ad ministrative assistant, have been fishing in the Catoctin Mountain area recently, but not up near Camp David itself where the fish ing generally is poor. From now until about the end of June is the best time to do any sort of fishing in the Thurmont, Md.-Gettysburg area, particularly in the hilly sections, because when hot weather comes the streams lower a bit and the Gettysburg should be in the big news this week end when the President's house guest will be Field Marshal Viscount Mont gomery, deputy commander of NATO forces in Europe and a World War II comrade-in-arms of the chief executive. Montgomery and Eisenhower are old friends and probably will devote their week end to old soldier bull sessions and a tour of the famous Civil War battlefield which Eisenhower promised the famous ' British general some years ago. is delightfully air-conditioned. Denver and the Colorado area in general looked like a sure bet for the Eisenhower vacation a few weeks ago, but not so sure now because several of the President's Colorado friends have not been able to get the slightest cue from him. When they ask him to come to Colorado again this summer, he smiles and says what a swell place it is, but thus far has not tipped his hand on a vacation locale. If Congress should remain in session much beyond early Au gust the President of course will have to stay here or in Gettysburg until House and Sen ate decide to quit for the year. ARRIVING AC HEADQUARTERS, Teamsters Union Pres ident Dave Beck (right) and Vice President James R. Hoffa are in jovial mood as they prepare for appearance before ethical practices committee in Washington on charges of improper activities. (International Sotcndphoto) North Dakota Convicts Steep in Cold Cells Bismarck, N.D. CU.R) Rebel lious convicts, who rioted at North Dakota State Penitenti ary, spent a cold and hungry night in a cellblock with broken windows. The 200 inmates tried to sleep on empty stomachs when the mercury spiralled downward to near the frost point 'None of the prisoners had eat en since breakfast Tuesday shortly before a sitdown strike in the prison twine factory erupted into a four-hour riot that finally was subdued by a flying wedge of guards with guns blazing. "There are signs the prison ers are coming around," Warden O. J. Nygaard said. "We are not rushing things." The warden planned to hold . the SUrlv Jm1 Hpfion nrtcnnore shivering in their cold, damp cells without meals until they indicate willingness to return to their prison jobs quietly.

Just about everything from charwom an to chimmney sweep was rep resented in the classification of jobs that must be covered by workmen's compensation. Gettysburg is a delightful place this time of year, but even her most loyal citizens admit that the historic town can get i frightfully hot in July and Au gust, even into September. This is why some members of the White House staff groan at a rumor, possibly started as a gag that instead of going to Colorado for his late summer vacation, Eisenhower will spend most of his time on his Penn sylvania farm where the house fciV.; h J tsirZSLa fifed ; M.

In the same spirit as their 1773 counterparts, they tossed overboard crates marked high axes, nigh spending, inflation, federal debt, inefficiency nd bureaucracy. Quotes From the Mews By UNITED PRESS "Washington Teamsters President Dave Beck, on Senate fcrmctisation of his personal use off union funds: ' "Thi don't bother me in the slightest degree. It's all part of tret job. The fact of the matter is I'm three and a half pounds heavier than I was three weeks ago." , Vaehington Special presidential envoy James P.

Brasoria County, Tex. National Guard Li. Darzell Wind ham, on the reluctance of about 100 families to leave their homes despite flood waters: "Many of them have water Inside their little ramshackle homes but they still won't leave.

Washington President Eisenhower, explaining that his recent golfing vacation at Augusta, Ga., helped in throwing off his lingering cold and cough: "I personally think for the kind of difficulty I had that the sun is the only answer." Boom Developing For Mrs. McCarthy Madison, Wis. lU.PJ A boom was developing today for the appointment of the late Sen. Jo seph R. McCarthy's widow to his U.S. Senate seat. Republican legislators were working to give Gov. Vernon Thomson, a Republican, power to appoint a successor. State law prescribes a special elec tion. Democrats, led by State Party Chairman Philleo Nash, charged that appointment of an interim senator would be "not in the way of a democracy but the way of a dictatorship." Support for the appointment of Mrs. Jean McCarthy to suc ceed her husband was led by GOP Rep. Alvin E. O'Konski. "The voters elected Joe Mc Carthy and his philosophy for six years." O'Konski said. "There is no one who could represent his point of view better than Jean." 40 PAIRS .
