Back Stairs: A Private Telephone Line By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI While House Reporter Washington-flJPD-Back stairs at the White House: Bryce Harlow, deputy as sistant to President Eisenhow er, rocked along for years without a direct telephone line from his home to the White House. Such special lines usually are reserved for the Presi dent's physician, his secretar ies, and the top Secret Service officials. But one day former Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles tried to reach Harlow at his home. For 45 minutes, the Harlow number' rang busy. Finally, the teen - age lady of the family completed her pressing business and hung up. Next day the Harlows had a White House telephone too. Isn't Talking Lest their parking privileges be cancelled or discipline met ed out in some equally hor rible form, the White House staff isn't talking about it in public. Some of them believe, however, that the President put on weight during his re cent two-weeks stay in Au gusta, Ga. He was said to be about two pounds overweight when he department for his golf ing holiday. The daily exer cise on the links apparently increased his appetite. Considering Meet Robert Gray, - secretary to the cabinet and one of Wash ington's most eligible bach elors, is considering sponsor ing a spring champion swim ming meet in the garden iool at his fashionable Georgetown home. Gray's "swimming pool" actually is more of a square, concrete bucket. It's sweeping aquatic dimensions measure about 12 by 12 feet and is about five feet deep at the "deep end." No-Playing Rule The President's favorite Au gusta steams up a bit and members gravitate to more fashionable and coole-sum-mer locations. Theoretically, National's hal lowed fairways are closed down until mid-November. The no-playing rule applies to Two Men Fined in District Court Two men were fined $25 in district court Monday follow ing a fight at the Oasis dance hall at Eagle Point Saturday night. Glen Dale Boles, 19, of route 1, Central Point, was ar rested by a sheriff's deputy on charges of disorderly con duct. Richard Lester Johnson, 19, of 77 Pine st., Ashland, was originally charged with disorderly conduct but the charge was changed to carry ing a concealed weapon when it was found he was carrying a wooden club filled with lead under his shirt. all but a -small and highly exclusive group-the negro caddies who live nearby. Much has been said in the past about Eisenhower "with drawing" progressively from contacts with reporters. But it wasn't evident during his recent visit to Georgia. Actually, reporters cover ing his 15-day golfing holiday in Augusta were in close con tact with him seven times dur ing the period. Four contacts were merely perfunctory as the President arrived or de partment from the Augusta airport. But on three occasions there were big news stories invovled with Eisenhower participating personally - the selection of a new Republican National Chairman, Dulles' resignation and the annouce ment of Christian A. Herter as his new Secretary of Sfate. Goodyear, Union Resume Meetings Cleveland, Ohio-(UPD- Talks resumed today in the rubber industry strike that has idled 59,000 wqrkers at plants of three major firms. Indications were the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. agreement would not set a pattern. "The Firestone negotiators already have turned down an agreement similar to the one accepted by Goodyear em ployees" a spokesman for the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. said. MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. 6A TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1959 Forest Yield Tax Recommended Salem -4CPD-House bill 13, amending the forest yield tax law, was sent to the Senate floor Monday with a "do pass" recommendation by the Sen ate Tax committee. One of the amendments would allow the Tax commis sion on petition of the owner of land devoid of timber to classify such land as refores tation land and automatically remove it from the ad valo rem tax rolls. "The bill would encourage land owners to plant trees for the future, a method that was one of the main objectives of the law when passed in 1929. The bill increases the fees from 5 to 10 cents an acre on timbered land in western Ore gon and from 2Vi cents to 5 cents east of the Cascade mountains. The 12Vi cent ad valorem tax on harvested timber re mained in the act. Test Missile Fired At Cape Canaveral Cape Canaveral, Fla.-(UPD-A test version of a ballistic missile that will add 1,000 miles to the reach of long range bombers streaked over the Atlantic tracking range Monday. Results of the test, the third conducted by the McDonnell Aircraft Co., were not an nounced. When the missile is per fected, it will enable Strategic Air Command bombers such as the B52 to attack targets without venturing near ene my air defenses. Child Custody Bill Passes House Salem-(UPD-A bill providing that courts show no prefer ence to a mother in divorce cases where custody of chil dren is an issue, passed the House Monday and went to the Senate. Rep. Keith Skelton (D Eugene) explained that wom en are usually awarded cus tody of children whether or not they are at fault in the di vorce and the men usually provide the money., Skelton said the bill should help equalize that situation. Most channel swimmers have crossed from Cape Griz Nez, France, to Dover, Eng., (about 20 miles). How the dollars we spend for telephone supplies benefit you Pacific Telephone's purchases build sales for Oregon businesses As we work to provide phone service for a growing Ore gon, we buy an ever increasing volume of materials. This year, for instance, we and our supply unit Western Electric, will purchase supplies and services of all kinds from hundreds of Oregon businesses large and small. We'll spend an average of $53,000 with them every work ing day. This money brings new income to merchants and manufacturers. Then it spreads out to the people they em ploy or trade with. From there, k circulates until it benefits nearly everybody in the State. In this way, telephone purchases help build Oregon's prosperity. And that means a brighter future for you.

Sarll.H $4., SPring 2-6101 Combination fiilitary, Scientific Base on iloon by 1988 Predicted By CHARLES CORDRY UPI Correspondent Washington - (UPD - The Air Force is studying the feasi mility of setting up a combi nation military and scientific base on the moon by about 1968. Brig. Gen. Homer Boushey, Air Force director of advance technology at the Pentagon, said a "long distance study" was being conducted with only small amounts of govern ment money involved at pres ent. Boushey told United Press International there was as yet no plan to put a base on the moon but the Air Forse was looking into the problem of stationing men there. Reporting on details of the Air Force studies the maga zine Aviation Wtek said in dustrialists involved in the studies believed it might cost 20 billion dollars for the com plete initial system to estab lish a lunar probe. Study Two Programs The magazine said indus try recently gave a progress report on its studies to the Air Research and Develop ment Command's Ballistic Missile Division at Inglewood, Calif. ' The Air Force, is considering two possibilities, according to Aviation Week. One is 'called "Systems Requirement 183" and involves a lunar observa tory. The other is called "Re quirement 192" and is a much more ambitious study involv ing a bombardment base on the moon for retaliation against enemy attack. Aviation Week said the pre sent, briefing on "Require ment 183" considered these "proposals": A vehicle for the lunar trip should accommodate 10 persons. A six-stage rocket prob ably would be needed, four stages for the moon trip and two for the. return to earth. Powerful Rockets Needed One scheme envisions a rocket booster producing 16 million pounds of thrust. The p?C0 - - 41 ISBISft wm tM emw SPELLBINDER Cuban Premier Fidel Castro appears to be casting a spell over his audience as he addresses the Women Lawyers Association of New York. He is scheduled to meet with United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold before winding up the New York leg of his one-man goodwill tour of the U. S. U.S. at present is developing a 1,500,000 pound thrust rock et which may be ready in five years and which can be clus tered to produce several mil lion pounds of thrust. . Nuclear propulsion also might be used for the moon trip but not by 1968. The takeoff weight of the lunar vehicle, it was estimat ed, would be at least five mil lion pounds. On the moon, men might need their own small propul sion rockets to move around and also might require space suits far more advanced than the ones so fa,r developed. Normal duty on the moon might run about 20 days. DIG THIS CRAZY BIRD New York -(LTD- William G. Conway, the Bronx Zoo's cur ator of birds, reported today a very confused robin is build ing nine nests on as many id entical steps on the fire es cape outside his window. Con way said no eggs have been laid because every time the bird sits on one nest she looks up and sees another, and flies away for material to finish it.

Instead, like a lot of others, I've bought other makes until this year, that is. , But, not one of those other makes has done as much FOR ME as this car whose wheel I never touched. THE SIZE-HORSEPOWER RACE WAS ON Those other makes got longer and wider and lower, year by year. Each new model was mpre hopped up with excess gas-consuming horsepower that I couldn't begin to use, legally, anywhere. Did want this? Not at all ! But there's no telling how much longer the size-and-horsepower race would have continued if it hadn't been for Rambler. Slowly but.surely, Rambler kept gaining with the belief that it's the customer, not the competition, that really counts. THE CONSUMER BEGAN TO SPEAK By 1955, Rambler sales moved up to nearly 75,000. By 1957, they were nearly 100,000 ... still a small total compared to the others. Then, in 1958, came the explosion that blew the lid off the automobile industry! We, the customers, rebelled. While industry sales dived more than 20 per cent, Rambler sales zoomed more than 100 per cent ! Rambler sold nearly 200,000 cars in 1958 . . . shot from 12th to TRADEMARK AMERICAN MOTORS .7th place in the industry. And Rambler is still gaining in popularity. Currently, only five other makes sell more cars than Rambler. Today, Rambler outsells not only most big cars, but all five of the largest-selling foreign cars combined. The experts have been predicting a market for 2,000,000 compact cars by 1961. And Rambler is the Compart Car. RAMBLER GAVE US THE CHOICE If it hadn't been for this first Rambler and the Ramblers that have followed it with increasingly smart styling, fine engineering, quality construction and ex clusive features I feel sure the story wouldn't be what it is today. If it hadn't been for Rambler taking a leaf from modern aircraft construction and building this car a different and better way by Single Unit Construction we wouldn't have the choice we do today. That's why I say this Rambler I never bought has done more for me than all the makes I did buy.. That's why I finally resigned from Detroit's size-and-horsepower race and got a 1959 Rambler of my own a few months back, WHAT RAMBLER MEANS TO EVERY MOTORIST Because Rambler gives me basic excellence, I have a greater and better choice of cars today. I have a car with an all-welded Single Unit body-and-frame-in-one. I have a car that's backed by 20 years of experience in building cars this better way. I enjoy an unequaled standard of quality and workmanship; low first cost; low maintenance; high resale. I stand to get my share of billions of dollars in savings that the compact Rambler makes possible for American motorists. AMERICAN MOTORS CORPORATION RAMBLER . KELVINATOR METROPOLITAN ?
