' MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Mondiy, Febhury 9, 1959 3 Back Stairs: Eisenhower's Travel Plans By MEHRIMAN SMITH Washington (LTD - Back stairs at the White House: Some top figures in the air transportation industry have been picking up interesting straws in the wind about President Eisenhower's travel plans for the remainder of his term in the Whife House. With the President's plane crew now in the process of looking over his new jet transport which is scheduled for delivery in the spring, the industry hears .this rather i authoritative speculation: Eisenhower during the nearly two years he has left in office, is expected to fly more thai he did during all of his first six years as chief executive. Jets Faster The jet transport will en able him to visit the Pacific coast with little more flying time than is now required for a week end flight in propellor driven aircraft to Augusta or . Thomasville, in Georgia. On tap this month is Eisen hower's flying trip to Acapul- co, Mexico. No jet for this trip, but the reliable Colum bine III, the big Air Force Constellation set aside for the President's use. The question of jet travel to Acapulco is academic in any event because the field down there can't handle the big new craft that requires plenty of landing space. Several other long air trips are possibilities this year Alaska in July, the likelihood of a summit conference some where in Europe before next winter. A trip to Hawaii has been discussed frequently in White House circles, also South America. There is5 no fixed time table or definite schedule for such ambitious travel plans, but the reported destination un der discussion represent more than pipe dreams. Eisenhower plans to get around, the globe a lot before January, 1961, world conditions, domestic af fairs and his own health per mitting. Protocol a Problem It can be stated factually that one thing holding, back completion of plans for some truly major Eisenhower trips overseas is simply this-pro- tocoL . If the President could make brief stopovers instead of the' starchy three day state visits required by long standing custom, might start serious planning of jaunts to the Far East and across Western Europe. One of Washington's top ex perts on protocol told United Press International recently: "If the President made a state visit to London, he'd al most want to visit Bonn, Paris, Brussells, Rome and possibly some other European capitals. How in the world could he do it if he stuck to the old, established plan of spending a minimum of three days in each capital? "If ever these was a time to break with custom that dates back many years now is that time, in the jet age. And I'd be willing to wager that the President makes quite some substantial changes in this custom before he leaves office." There was some curiosity i why Eisenhower during his recent trip to Thomasville de voted so much more time to hunting than to his favorite sport, golf. The answer was simple. The President's host was former Treasury Secre-1 tary George M. Humphrey. Humphrey tried valiantly a few years ago to learn golf, but even professional mstruc tion left him far out in the rough. Whereupon Humphrey gave up on the links and con centrated on his bird shooting at which he is very good. The President, as a guest, naturally followed the lead i of his host. Goldwater Attack On Unions Noted Peoria, 111. (DPD A form er labor official today shrug ged off Sen. Barry Gold water's (R-Ariz.), attack on union bossism and a United Auto Workers local. Coy Lutes, former publicity and education director of Local 974 here, said Gold water's charges Saturday that the local spent $7,000 be tween 1952 and 1954 on un lawful political support was "all union politics." "I'm not worried about it,' Lutes said. "The money was used to get out the vote, to see that people went to the polls. I told the FBI this." Goldwater, here to address the Peoria Bar Association, said the FBI gave him copies of cancelled checks issued by the union and made out to the 18th Illinois Congressional District. : In his talk, Goldwater said he would switch to the Demo cratic party if that party de veloped the "courage to fight the Dower now- vested in union bosses." Union bossism, is the "civil rights problem of the north," and must be fought by "some political force in the country. If it's the Democrats, I'll join them."

I don t want to go back on my word, but . . . Winnie J. - He used up the best years of my life. Gerard A. I am 18 and I'm in a terrible spot in con nection with this girl Winnie I've been going out with for three years. We had a lot of fun dating and romancing and we talked about getting married some day. Trouble is that I thought "some day" was far away. Last week when I said that I was thinking about joining the Navy as soon as I get out of high school, Winnie started screaming and saying that we've got to make our plans for getting married, y I want to marry Winnie, but not before I've had a chance to see the world. My parents -tell me I don't owe her a thing. I never gave her a ring or anything like that. I Freedom Signer's Kin Due Citizenship Glendora. Calif.-fliPD-Leslie C. Jabara, 30, the great, great, great grandson of one of the original signers of the Decla ration of Independence, re ceives a certificate of citizen ship today after a 12-year struggle. Jabara, a descendant of Richard Stockton who signed the Declaration of Indepen dence, came to this country in 1947 on an Australian visa after his father had mi grated there from Oklahoma. Jabara saia his father never gave up his American citizen ship but lacked a birth certifi cate as proof of his birthplace. Jabara was granted perma nent residence last June when former Rep. Pat Hillings of California sponsored a special bill passed by Congress. An average "adult has six colds a year.-Annual cost to business and industry is about $450 million. William Donovan Of War Spy Fame Taken by Death Washington - (DPD - Maj. Gen. William J. (Wild Bill) Donovan, a World War I hero who directed America's cloak-and - dagger operations in World War II, will be buried Wednesday at Arling ton National Cemetery. The 76-year-old lawyer- soldier died Sunday at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where he had been a patient for more than a year suffer ing from arteriosclerosis. A post-mortem was being held to determine the exact cause of death. As chief of the super-secret Office of Strategic Services during World War II, Dono van supervised American espionage, sabotage and other intelligence activities behind enemy lines. Head of 'Fighting 69th' But he was a military hero long before he organized the OSS, acquiring his nickname of "Wild Bill" 'while serving as commander of New York's famed "Fighting 69th" In fantry Regiment in World War I. A generaly mild-mannered man, Donovan was wounded three times and won the na tion's three highest military decorations - the Congress ional Medal of Honor, the Dis tinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Service Medal - for his exploits on the Western Front. Allen W. Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, paid tribute to Dono van as "the father of central intelligence in the United States." Dulles said "America has lost - a soldier - and a patriot." Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker described Donovan as one of the nation's great est soldier- statesmen. He said the former OSS chief was a "renowned hero who was first and foremost a great American." But I did say I'd marry her and I don't want to go back ; on my word.- Winnie J. My parents have been telling me for the past three years that just this would happen. They said I d better watch my step because Gerry would take up all my time, use the best years' of my life, and then leave me hold ing the bag. My parents said I ought to go out with older boys who were ready to settle down, but I loved Gerry and he cer tainly gave me reason to think he felt the same. I nev er made demands on him and that's why he never gave me a ring. I never thought he'd use that against me. Gerry never even men tioned the Navy until a few weeks ago. I had no idea he was thinking of such a thing If he joined the National Guard we could get married within a year or so. That is what all my friends', boy friends plan to do. The Council: Gerard has certainly cooked himself a nice kettle of trouble. We sus pect that his idea about the Navy may have seemed to him a simple way out of his problems. Most young men plan what they'll do about getting in their military serv ice some time in advance. In any case, we think Ger ard has the right idea. He has suddenly realized that a man isn't ready for marriage until he has had some experience of life on a broader level than he can possibly get as a high school student. He needs the experience of working for and with others and he needs to test his capabilities and to have a -clear idea about the kind of life he wants to create for himself. Unfortunately, girls like Winnie place unfair pressure on young men and "hook" them before they are ripe. Then they complain about childish, irresponsible or un interesting husbands. Winnie's parents surely must share some responsibility for her attitude that at 18 the "best years of her life" have been used up. Winnie is hysterical about getting married on schedule and keeping up with her girl friends. She has not been helped toward an under standing of the fact that much more emotional and mental maturity than this are re quired for marriage. Winnie is way back at the stage where she competed with the girls for the best part in the class play. Gerard does not have to feel like a heel for going back on his "word." It was natural for him to have talked mar riage in a general way with a teenage girl friend. He prob ably did . the same with his six - year - old sweetheart in grammar school. His parents' statement that he doesn't "owe her a thing" is perhaps a rather crude way of saying simply that he never serious ly committed himself and has a right to consider himself a free man.

Kmc that doctors hate tears of testing the heart with elec trical gadgets, isn't it pretty easy to tell then a person ha a bad heart? A. The electrocardiograph is a marvelous device ' and a great help in diagnosing heart condi tions, but it doesn't work like a slot machine. The strip of paper that comes out of the machine doesn't have the diagnosis written out in English. There is simply a series of wavy lines that give clues to trouble. A perfectly good heart will sometimes send out signals that look bad on the strip of paper or a bad heart may broad cast good signals. It is always , necessary for the doctor to con- sider what the machine records and what he knows about the patient To "read" an electrocar diogram requires a great deal of training and experience. Q. "Medically,' what do you think of the 'new look' in ladies shoes, especially high, thin heels?" A reader. A. It is never wise to comment on what the ladies are wearing this season. We can, however, make an interesting observation. ijli 1 llijllli :iiii xitntft ::::2:iCT:j::tgt ELECTROCARDIOGRAM Current style calls for a pointed toe and . a heel higher and nar rower than anything that has gone before.

A lady of 150 pounds who wears . such a shoe will exert at each ; step a pressure equivalent to more than 2,500 pounds per square inch or about eight times the boiler pressure of a mountain type locomotive! As for pointed toes, ask grandmother. Answers do not necessarily reflect the opinion of all doctors. The diag nosis and treatment of disease is the function of the patient's per sonal physician.
