President Eisenhower, one of the more noted among them, likes to join his retired comrades-in-arms when he can. But the press of business seldom permits him to travel the two blocks from the White House more than ' once or twice a year. Drinks Refused Eisenhower did Join his classmates last Monday. One old buddy commisserated with the chief executive about the burdens of his office and sug gested that he lighten some of the load by taking a couple of drinks. The President smiled, shook his head and said doggonit, he just couldn't do It. Two drinks before lunch, he ex plained, and he'd be too blamed sleepy to tackle a -deskload of work In the after noon. The old buddy pointed out that surely a man 68 years old. President or not, was 4 iv ?x ? I ? FLOYD C. VOGEL Takes Ashland Post Utilities Company Names Manager Floyd C.

But the chief ex ecutive kept thinking of the work awaiting him and stood firm. Week for Clubs This was the President's week for clubs. Army-Navy on Monday, the National Press club Wednesday. Before Eisenhower made his first visit to the press club in six years as President, some of his news-gathering hosts had been saying in print and on the air that he was drifting out of regular contact with the press, withdrawing from reporters. To a large degree, these stories were fueled by the fact that the President, up until MAIL TRIBUNE, Mdford", Oregon, Thursday, Janaary 1 5, 1 Mt 11 Wednesday, had held only four press conferences since Oct. i: Attendance Curbed Although some newsmen blamed the pasting the Re publicans took in the Novem ber elections, figures at the White House show that Ei senhower, ever since his 1955 heart attack, has reduced his press conference attendance sharply in the fall and early winter. This is the period when he usually takes a Thanksgiv ing holiday in the South, re turns to Washington for labor ious preparation of messages for the new Congress, then hies himself to Gettysburg for i the Christmas holidays Annual Reports Are Given at SOCTFA Meeting This Week Annual reports from public and private forest manage ment representatives high lighted the January meeting of the Southern Oregon Con servation and Tree Farm as sociation at the Rogue Valley Country club Tuesday. R. J. Kline, president of the organization, praised the work of the public agencies for their cooperation during the past year and noted that the close liason was due in large measure to the untiring work of the late L. L. (Doc) Simpson, of Medford, one of the organizers of the conser vation group and manager for many years. Kline introduced the new forester-manager of the as sociation, Dale Prentice, for merly with the Western Pine association, who assumed his duties last week. Special Guests special guests of the as sociation at the first meeting of the year included Jackson County Judge Earl Miller; County Commissioners Chest er Wendt and Ralph James; Curt Nesheim, supervisor of state forest lands in this area; Carrol Brown, representing Rogue River National Forest and John Carnegie, represent ing the bureau of land man agement. Other agencies and organ izations present included Bob Church, U. S. weather bur- Bee Bill Buzzes In South Carolina Columbia, S. C. -(DPD-Bell'i bee bill buzzed into the hop per of the South Carolina House Wednesday. The measure was written by Rep. Lloyd Bell, who is seeking the protection of his constituents in Horry coun ty. It would require that bees being hauled through South Carolina be "confined within the vehicle being used." Bell said many roadside residents in his county had been stung by stray bees be ing shipped south by north ern beekeepers. The bees are dormant be cause of the cold when they leave their northern homes, the legislator sid, but they wake up when they hit the warmer climate and buzz out of trucks in search of nectar President Urges Urban Planning Washington -flJPD- President Eisenhower visualizes a com ing era when the entire East ern Seaboard will become one continuous urban community. He said skillful national planning was needed urgent ly to avoid chaos in the time of such "megaloposies." Speaking before a dinner meeting of the Association of State Planning and Develop ment Agencies Wednesday, night, the President said such mushrooming was virtually assured with the American population increasing at the present rate of one million persons every four months. "We must see that this growth is not like that of Topsy," he said. "It must have method, common sense, direc tion, and be orderly. This calls for new approaches to problems of expansion that all but erased outmoded boundaries." " The Strategic Air Com-mand-s B-52 Stratofortress weighs as much as 120 auto eau; Capt. Paul Morgan, Ore gon State police, and Austin King and Bruce Blew, past presidents of the Oregon Log and Lumber Truckers league.

The group who are self-styled as Laus mann's. Lousy Loggers, have been invited to appear at the Sierra Cascade Logging Con gress in Redding, Calif., later this year. 4-H Agents Plan Inspection of Available Wagons Inspection of ' avail able wagon sand wagon parts will be made Friday by county 4-H agents and leaders.

Derflinger, 70, retires this week as as sistant state veterinarian and W. T. McDonald, 65, leaves the division of foods and dairies, weights and meas ures. For Dr. Derflinger it marks his 42nd year with a career entwined with the state's en tire program of disease con trol. Now a Salem resident, he initiated his work with the state in Eugene under the livestock sanitary board in 1917, one of the 17 boards and commissions which were later incorporated in the for mation of the department in 1931.

James Morgan, Salem repre sentative with the division, will take over the Yamhill Polk county area served by McDonald, in addition to a portion of the North Marion county district which he now serves. A familiar figure in the coastal counties, McDonald has made his home in Mc- Minnville for the past 10 years. The weights and meas ures phase of his assignment also covered Washington and Columbia counties. Though 65 on Dec. 22, Mc Donald intends to "take a few courses at Linfield college for my own enrichment." But col lege will have to wait until he and his wife make a "see America first" trip. 40 Space Probes Likely This Year.
