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

it was found he was carrying

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

resignation and the annouce

as his new Secretary of Sfate.

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

Skelton said the bill should

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.

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

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.

"This Car I Didn't Buy Has Done
More for Me Than All the Cars I've Owned"
No I wasn't one of the 15,246 who bought this
first of the present-day Ramblers when it came
out in 1950.
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.
