MAIL TRIBUNE, Medfwd, Oregon, Friday, February 20, 1959 Back Stairs: Ike's Mexican Diet By MERRIMAtt SMITH UPI Whits House Reporter Acapulco, Mexico- (LTD Back stairs at the white House: President Eisenhower's diet while he is in Mexico will remain much like it would be. if he were back in Wash ington or Gettysburg. On the suggestion of his doctor, Maj. Gen. Howard McC. Snyder, a large supply of frozen Am erican food was shipped down by air from the White House. The U S. Navy' wanted the President to spend Wednes day nigbt at the naval base in Corpus Christi, Tex., but the Air Force won the honor. His base for a few hours sleep en route to Mexico was the big Strategic Air Com mand center at Bergstrom Air Force Base outside Aus tin. The Army sought unsuc cessfully to have the Presi dent revisit his old post at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio.

Riverside SP 2-8516 is in a big tizzy over its dis tinguished clientele Manager Charles F. Rogers gently had to steer a lot of well-paying guests with long advance res ervations to other hotels to make room for the Eisenhow er party. - Eisenhower wanfed one of the four big wings of the hotel, as far removed as pos sible from the beach, the swimming pool and the cen ter of the hotel. This was for security, as well as seclusion. The daily rate on a single room starts at about $15 and goes up to above $30-with no meals, and more for sit ting bedroom suites. The wing occupied by Ei senhower looks out over arti ficial lagoons and private ter races on the north side of the building overlooking Revol cadero Beach and the sea. Eisenhowers' schedule is so crowded that he'll have little time fo renjoying the scenery except when he cruises on Acapulco Bay aboard the yacht cf his host, President Adolfo Lopez Mateos. Dinner at Night Club Eisenhower and Lopez Ma teos had dinner last night at "La Perla," a night club op erated as part of the hotel El Mirador. The hotel proud ly hails La Perla as "the world s most spectacular night club." This may be true in a sense Certainly no night club in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles includes in the floor show a group of young men diving Into the ocean from cliffs more than .100 feet high. La Perla also can advertise itself as "the only night club in the world visited by Presi dent Eisenhower while he was in office." In fact, it would be almost impossible to imagine Eisenhower escort ing a visiting president to the Casino Royal in Washington.

Oregon Prison Escapee Nabbed After Robbery Portland-fliPD-Daniel Leroy Gablehouse, 31-year-old Ore gon prison escapee, was cap tured at Yakima, Wash., late Thursday when he held up a small grocery store, the FBI said. An officer of the Yakima city police force answered a call that a grocery was being robbed in the neighborhood where Gablehouse formerly resided. He investigated and found a white station wagon driving away from the store. Fired Four Shots FBI agents here, who re layed the information, said the officer gave chase and fired four shots at the station wagon. Gablehouse jumped from the vehicle and ran up an alley where the officer captured him. Police said the convict was carrying a .38 caliber revolver but did not use it.

He took another car in Bend and continued his getaway.. The station wagon in which he attempted to make his get away Thursday night was be lieved stolen in Oregon. He had been sentenced for eight years for robbery from Multnomah county.

The Nevada Votes Bill For Annexation of Chunk of California Carson City, Nev.-(DPD-The battlelines of a new war be tween states were drawn here when the Nevada State As sembly passed a bill which would annex a 40,000 square mile chunk of California. - The bill, introduced by As semblyman Don Crawford (R Washoe) was passed as an emergency measure by a 26-6 margin in the Assembly and sent to the Senate for ap proval. It directs the attorney gen eral to take legal action seek ing the return to Nevada of all the land east of the crest of the Sierra Nevada "wrong fully" held by the big Pacific Coast state. This huge strip includes the California cities of Bishop and Susanville as well as Lake Tahoe and the Squaw Valley site of the winter Olympic games. In addition to recovering the tract in Eastern California, the bill also ordered the at torney general to seek return of all taxes collected on the land since 1865 plus interest. Crawford said this would run into "millions of dollars." In Sacramento, California legislators met the proposed action with a volley of ora tory, promising to defend the territory by the sword if nec essary. Assemblyman George Craw ford (R-San Diego) suggested possible aggressive action. Expeditionary Force "I'm willing to accept vol unteers for an expenditionary force to stateline. So far we have 100 soldiers and the nec essary camp followers to make this expedition a success," he declared.
